The Cranberries - To The Faithful Departed

I've got a picture in my head (in my head)
It's me and you , we are in bed (we are in bed)
You'll always be there when I call (when I call)
You'll always be there most of all. (all, all, all)
This is not Hollywood,
Like I understood.

Like, Like, Like.
This is not Hollywood,

This is not Hollywood,
Like, Like, Like.
Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Get Away, Get Away, Get away!
Get Away, Getaway, Get away!
I've got a picture in my room, (in my room)
I will return there I presume. (should be soon)
The greatest irony of all, (shoot the wall)
It's not so glamorous at all (all, all, all)
This is not Hollywood,
Like I understood.
This is not Hollywood,
Like, Like, Like.
This is not Hollywood,
Like I understood.
This is not Hollywood,
Like, Like, Like.
Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?

To all those people doing lines, don't do it, don't do it.
Inject your soul with liberty, it's free, it's free.
To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not, not what it seems.
No, no it's not, not what it seems
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
To all those parents with sleepless nights, (sleepless nights)
Tie your kids home to their beds, clear their heads.
To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not, not what it seems.
No, no it's not, not what it seems
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

Hold on to love. That is what I do,
Now that I've found you.
And from above, everything's stinking,
Their not around you.
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you.
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you.
But, I miss you when you're gone.
That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I knew, Bay, Bay, Bay
Hold on to my hand,
I feel me sinking, sinking without you.
And to my mind, everything's stinking
Stinking without you.
And in the night, I could be helpless,
I could be lonely, sleeping without you.
And in the day, everything's complex,
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you.
And I miss you when you're gone.
That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay

It's not worth anything more than this at all
I live as I choose or I will not live at all.
So return to where you've come from.
Return to where you dwell.
Because harassments not my forte,
But you do it very well.
I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all.
I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all. (At all, at all, at all)
You must have nothing more with your mind to do.
There's a war in Russia and Sarejevo, too.
So to hell with want your thinking.
And to hell with your narrow of mind.
You're so distracted from the real thing.
You should leave your life behind. (behind)
I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all.
I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all. (At all, at all, at all)
I'm Free To Decide, I'm Free To Decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all. (At all, at all, at all)
At all, At all, At all!

Who will save the War Child baby?
Who controls the keys?
The web we weave is thick and sordid.
Fine by me.
At times of war.
We're all the losers,
There's no victory.
We'll shoot to kill, and kill your lover.
Fine by me.
War Child!
Victim of political Pride.
Plant the seed, territorial Greed.
Mind, the War Child.
We should mind, the War Child.
I spent last winter in New York,
And came upon a man.
He was sleeping on the streets and homeless,
He said, "I fought in Vietnam."
Beneath his shirt he wore the mark,
He bore the mark of Pride.
A two-inch deep incision carved,
Into his side.
War Child!
Victim of political Pride.
Plant the seed, territorial Greed.
Mind, the War Child.
We should mind, the War Child.
Whose the loser now, eh?
Whose the loser now, eh?
We're all the losers now!
We're all the losers now!
War Child, War Child

Yellow Skies, I can see the Yellow Skies.
See you again, I see you again
In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams.
Morning light, I remember morning light.
Outside my doors, I 'll see you no more.
In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams
Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.
Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.
Responsible, Responsible, Responsible, Responsible.
So black and white,
It's become so black and white.
So insecure, You're so insecure,
That's what you are, That's what you are, That's what you are, That's what you are.
Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.
Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.
Responsible, Responsible, Responsible, Responsible.
Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.
Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.
Responsible, Responsible, Responsible, Responsible.

Seems like yesterday we were sixteen,
We were The Rebels of the Rebel Scene.
We wore Doc Martens in the sun,
Drinking vintage cider having fun.
We were, drinking vintage cider having fun.
It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often!
It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often!
We wore Doc Martens in the snow,
Paint our toenails black and let our hair grow.
What I am now is what I was then,
I am not more acceptable then them.
I am not more acceptable then them.
It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often!
It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all! It wasn't often!
It wasn't often, It wasn't often,
It wasn't often, It wasn't often,
It wasn't often, It wasn't often,
It wasn't often, It wasn't often.
Seems like yesterday we were sixteen,
We were The Rebels of the Rebel Scene.

It was the fearful night of December 8th,
He was returning home from the studio, late.
He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice.
Because in 1980, he paid the price.
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died!
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died!
With a Smith & Wesson, 38
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate.
He should have stayed at home, he should have never cared.
And the man who took his life declared, he said,
"I Just Shot John Lennon!"
He said, "I Just Shot John Lennon!"
It was a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
It was a sad and sorry and sickening sight,
Oh a sad and sorry and sickening sight,
It was a sad and sorry and sickening sight!
"I Just Shot John Lennon!"
He said, "I Just Shot John Lennon!"
It was a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
It was a sad and sorry and sickening sight,
Oh a sad and sorry and sickening sight,
It was a sad and sorry and sickening sight!

Electric blue eyes, where did you come from?
Electric blue eyes, who sent you?
Electric blue eyes, always be near me.
Electric blue eyes, I need you.
Domine, Domine, Deus,
Domine, Adiuva Me,
Domine, Domine, Deus,
Domine, Adiuva Me,
Hey, eh, hey, eh
You should know, You should know I love you
You should know, You should know I'm here.
Always be near me, guardian angel,
Always be near me, there's no fear.
Domine, Domine, Deus,
Domine, Adiuva Me,
Domine, Domine, Deus,
Domine, Adiuva Me,
Hey, eh, hey, eh

I'm still remembering the day
I gave my life away.
I'm still remembering the time
You said you'd be mine.
Yesterday was cold and bare
Because you were not there.
Yesterday was cold
My story has been told.
I need your affection all the way.
The world is changing and has changed away (way).
I try to remain.
I'm trying not to go insane.
I need your affection all the way.
I'm still remembering my life
Before I became your wife.
I'm still remembering the pain
And the mind games.
Reverse psychology, never tainted me.
I didn't sell my soul, I didn't sell my soul.
I need your affection all the way.
The world is changing and has changed away (way).
I try to remain.
I'm trying not to go insane.
I need your affection all the way.
They say the cream'll always
Rise to the top.
They say that good people
Are always first to drop.
What of Kurt Cobain,
Will his presence still remain?
Remember J. F. K.,
Ever saintly in a way.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I say, where are you now?
I need your affection all the way.
I need your affection all the way.
I need your affection all the way.
I need your affection all the way.

Will you remember the dress I wore?
Will you remember my face?
Will you remember the lipstick I wore?
This world is a wonderful place.
Will you remember the black limousine?
Will you remember champagne?
Will you remember the things that we see?
I will return here again.
Will you remember the flowers in my hand?
Will you remember my hair?
Will you remember the future we planned?
The world is not waiting out there.
I won't remember the dress I wore.
I won't remember champagne.
I won't remember the things that we swore.
I will just love you in vain.
Will you remember?
Will you recall?
Will you remember?

There was a time, I was so lonely. (away)
Remember the time, It was a Friday. (away)
You made me feel fine, We did it my way. (away)
I sat on your knees, every Friday. (away)
 (We walked in fields of golden hay)
I still recall you.
 (We walked in fields of golden hay)
I see you in the summer.
Joe, Joe
I sat on your chair by the fire. (away)
Transfixed in a stare taking me higher. (away)
Precious years to remember. (away)
Childhood fears I surrender. (away)
 (We walked in fields of golden hay)
I still recall you.
(We walked in fields of golden hay)
I see you in the summer.
Joe, Joe

Once you ruled my mind
I thought you'd always be there
And I'll always hold on to your face
But everything changes in time
And the answers are not always fair
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Cordell
Time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Time will tell
Time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I know that you've gone to a better place
Cordell...Cordell....Cordell...Cordell
Cordell...Cordell....Cordell
Your lover and baby will cry
But you presence will always remain
Is this how it was meant to be?
You meant something more to me
That what many people will see
And to hell with the endless dream
Cordell
Time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Time will tell
Time will tell
We all will depart and decay
And we all will return to a better place
Cordell...Cordell.....Cordell....Cordell
Cordell....Cordell....Cordell

I would like to state my vision,
Life was so unfair.
We live in our secure surroundings,
And people die out there.
Bosnia, was so unkind,
Sarejevo, change my mind.
And we all call out in despair.
All the love we need isn't there.
And we all sing songs in our rooms,
Sarejevo erects another tomb.
Sarejevo! Sarejevo! Sarejevo! Sarejevo!
Bosnia, was so unkind.
Sarejevo! Sarejevo! Sarejevo!
Bosnia, was so unkind.
Sure, things would change
If we really wanted them to.
No fear for children anymore,
There are babies in their beds.
Terror in their heads,
Love for the love of life!
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
