LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ODE TO MY FAMILY/THE CRANBERRIES

Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
'Cause I've spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree
Do you see me? Do you see?
Do you like me? Do you like me standing there?
Do you notice? Do you know?
Do you see me? Do you see me?
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me when I was out there
My father, my father he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care?

Understand what I've become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you, I miss
'Cause I liked it, 'Cause I liked it
When I was out there
Do you know this ? D'you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness was when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me when I was out there
My father, my father he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care?
Does anyone care?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HOW/THE CRANBERRIES

Look, you're standing alone
Standing alone
However I should have known
I should have known
Never before
Never again
You will ignore
I will pretend
Never before
Never again
You will ignore
I will pretend
In your world you're alone in your face
You're alone in your world
You're alone in your face

How you said you never would leave me alone
How you said you never would leave me alone

Now, you're just walking away
Walking away
When you said you always would stay
Always would stay
Never before
Never again
You will ignore
I will pretend
Never before
Never again
You will ignore
I will pretend
In your world, you're alone in your face
You're alone in your world
You're alone in your face

How you said you never would leave me alone
How you said you never would leave me alone

Never before
Never again
You will ignore
I will pretend
In your world you're alone in your face
You're alone in your world
You're alone in your face

How you said you never would leave me alone
How you said you never would leave me alone
How you said you never would leave me alone
How you said you never would leave me alone

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PROMISES/THE CRANBERRIES

You'd better believe I'm coming
You'd better believe what I say
You'd better hold on to your promises
Because you bet you'll get what you deserve

She's going to leave him over
She's going take her love away
So much for your eternal vows, well
It does not matter anyway

Why can't you stay
Here a while
Stay here awhile
Stay with me

Oh oh oh oh oh
All the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words I prayed
Prayed, prayed
Oh oh oh oh oh
All the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words I spoke
Spoke, spoke

What of all the things that you taught me
What of all the things that you'd say
What of all your prophetic preaching
You're just throwing it all away

Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
'Cause tearing them out is just not right

Why can't you stay
Here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me

Oh oh oh oh oh
All the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words I prayed
Prayed, prayed
Oh oh oh oh oh
All the promises we broke
Promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words I spoke
Spoke, spoke

Oh oh oh oh oh
All the promises we made
Promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words I prayed
Prayed, prayed
Oh oh oh oh oh
All the promises we broke
Promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words I spoke
Spoke, spoke
