Lyrics

I Can’t Be With You
I Don’t Need
I Just Shot John Lennon
I Really Hope
I Still Do
I Will Always
I’m Still Remembering
In It Together
In The Garden
In The Ghetto
Intermission (Instrumental)
It’s Only Rock’n'Roll

I Can’t Be With You

WORDS BY D. O’RIORDAN. MUSIC BY D. O’RIORDAN / N. HOGAN

Lying in my bed again
And I cry ‘cos you’re not here
Crying in my head again
And I know that it’s not clear
Put your hands, put your hands
Inside my face and see that it’s just you
But it’s bad and it’s mad
And it’s making me sad
Because I can’t be with you

Baby I can’t be with you

Thinking back on how things were
And how we loved so well
I wanted to be the mother of your child
And now it’s just farewell

Put your hands in my head
We’ll find another end
And my head, and my head
On anyone’s shoulder
‘Cause I can’t be with you

Baby I can’t be with you

Cause your not here, you’re not here
Baby I can’t be with you
Cause your not here, you’re not here
And baby I’m still in love with you

I Don’t Need

WORDS BY D. O’RIORDAN. MUSIC BY D. O’RIORDAN / N. HOGAN

The world is consuming me
And I don’t feel so happy here today
I’m not, and I don’t feel
And I used to be a baby in my day

So where is the one you love?
Does she hold you happy next to her?
And your head hangs lightly
And everyone’s slightly drunk tonight
They’re drunk tonight again

Nana nana, nana nana, nana nana
Nana nana, nana nana, nana nana, nana nana

I don’t need to see you
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I don’t need to see you
No, no, no, no, nooo

My head, it is hanging now
And my eyes are on the ground, the ground, the ground
And everyone’s so patronizing
I don’t see when the real thing comes around

So where is your mother now?
Did she hold you happy next to her?
And your head hangs lightly
And everyone’s slightly drunk tonight
They’re drunk tonight again

Nana nana, nana nana, nana nana
Nana nana, nana nana, nana nana, nana nana

I don’t need to see you
No, no, no, no, no, no no
I don’t need to see you
No, no, no, no, nooo

And they get no work done today
No work done today
No, no, no
No work done today
No, no, no
No work done today

I Just Shot John Lennon

WORDS BY D. O’RIORDAN. MUSIC BY D. O’RIORDAN / N. HOGAN

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!”

What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…

I Really Hope

WORDS BY D. O’RIORDAN. MUSIC BY D. O’RIORDAN / N. HOGAN

I’ve been down this road before
Now I’m coming back for more
This is like a deja vu
I was born to be with you

Into the night we went to sleep
You and I were ment for keeps
Into the night, we went to play
You and I

I really hope you’ll always be, so in love with me
I really hope we’ll always stay, so attached this way

So beware of the pitfall
We don’t have to change at all
And our light will not burn out
It’s what freedom’s all about

Into the night we went to sleep
You and I were ment for keeps
Into the night, we went to play
You and I

I really hope you’ll always be, so in love with me
I really hope we’ll always stay, so attached this way

I really hope you’ll always be, so in love with me
I really hope we’ll always stay, so attached this way

I really hope that we’ll always be here
I really hope that you’ll always be near
Take me and break me, I’ll always be here

I really hope that you’ll always be near

I Still Do

WORDS BY D. O’RIORDAN. MUSIC BY D. O’RIORDAN / N. HOGAN

I’m not ready for this
Though I thought I would be
I can’t see the future
Though I thought I could see

(chorus)
I don’t want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don’t want to love you
I still do

Need some time to find myself
I wanna live within

Can I go my own way
Can I pray my own way
I don’t want to leave you
How I need you

Am I ready for this
Did I think I would be
Can I see the future
No, I can’t see

I Will Always

WORDS BY D. O’RIORDAN. MUSIC BY D. O’RIORDAN

And now it’s all the same to me
Be whatever you want to be
Go wherever you need to go
And when it all seems like a mistake
Take whatever you need to take
Leave the rest for my own sake

I will always
Go beside you
You will always
Understand

And now it’s all the same to me
So be whatever you want to be
Go wherever you need to go
And when there’s nothing left behind
Taken whatever you needed to
And leave it all into my mind

I will always
Go beside you
You will always
Understand

I’m Still Remembering

WORDS BY D. O’RIORDAN. MUSIC BY D. O’RIORDAN

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 has changed, or I’ve changed in a way
I try to remain, I’m trying not to go insane
I need your affection all the way (get away)

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

They say the cream will 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?, say, where are you now?

In The Garden

WORDS BY D. O’RIORDAN. MUSIC BY D. O’RIORDAN (???)

I see you playing
In the garden
Outside my window
Oh
You’re like your father
I see right through you
Just like your father
I thought I knew you

Oh, it’s a panic in paradise
It’s a panic
It’s a paradise

You can come here
You can cry
You can come here
You can cry

I see her playing
In the garden
I was once like her
You did this to me
I don’t remember
When this old fence begun
I don’t remember
I can’t undo what’s done

You can come here
You can cry
You can come here
You can cry

You can come here
You know why
You can come here
You know why

I’ll keep my secret
With me until I die
I’ll keep my secret
And I don’t know why

You can come here
You can cry
You can come here
You can cry

You can come here
You know why
You can come here
You know why

I can go there
I will cry
I can go there
I will cry

In The Ghetto

WORDS BY SCOTT DAVIS. MUSIC BY SCOTT DAVIS

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin’
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto x2

And his mother cries
‘Cause if there’s one thing that she don’t need
It’s another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto x2

So people, don’t you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he’ll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way?

Well the world turns
And a poor little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto x2

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto x2

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car
Tries to run, but he doesn’t get far
And his mother cries

As a crowd gathers ’round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto x2

As her young man dies (in the ghetto)
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin’
another little baby child is born

In the ghetto x4

It’s Only Rock’n'Roll&

If I could stick my pen in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange? Ain’t he strange?

If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
A love song so divine
*Would it be enough for your cheating heart*
If I broke down and cried? *If I cried?*

*(Spice Girls)*
I said I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it
I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can’t you see that this old boy has been a lonely?

If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?

If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy’s insane? He’s insane

I said I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it
I said I know it’s only rock’n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can’t you see that this old boy has been a lonely?

*And do ya think that you’re the only girl around?*
*I bet you think that you’re the only woman in town*
