[Chorus]
Now, now it’s over but the thoughts of you go on
Nothing here, nothin' left at all
Oh, oh, and how, how I swore I’d never feel like this again
But then you, then you brought it through

[Verse 1]
Oh no, is there any reason I should walk away?
Is it wrong? Is it wrong to want to stay?
And I know if I’d had the choice I’d never let you go
Do you know? Do you really want to know?

[Verse 2]
Now, now the thoughts of you just circle in my mind
Hard to find, you were really hard to find
Oh, and although, though I swore I’d never feel like this again
Oh no, I can’t take it anymore
Because I know if I’d had the choice I’d never let you go
Do you know? Do you really want to know?
And I didn’t think, I didn’t think I’d think about you in this way
Well, really, you really make my day

[Chorus]
Now, now it’s over but the thoughts of you go on
Nothing here, nothing left at all
Oh oh and how, how I swore I’d never feel like this again
But then you, then you brought it through

The Cranberries

The Cranberries were an Irish band who found major international success throughout the 1990s as a part of the alternative rock movement. The group’s lineup included Dolores O'Riordan (singer and songwriter), Noel Hogan (guitarist and songwriter), Mike Hogan (bassist) and Fergal Lawler (drummer). Originally formed in 1989 under the name The Cranberry Saw Us, the band released an independent EP in 1991 that caught the attention of the industry. SPIN Magazine described the band’s sound as “dreamy swirl pop, midway between The Smiths and the Cocteau Twins cradling the will-o’-the-wispy vocals of Dolores O’Riordan.”

In 1992, the band began recording their first album for Island Records with Stephen Street, a producer best known for working with The Smiths. Their debut, Everybody Else is Doing It So Why Can’t We?, was initially ignored when released in early 1993, and it wasn’t until that fall—after the band opened for Suede and Duran Duran on their US tours—that MTV picked up on their single “Linger”. The song eventually peaked at #4 on the US Pop chart in 1994, and the album sold five million copies. Success around the world followed.

Later that year, the band released their sophomore album No Need To Argue, which went on to sell 7 million copies in the US. The lead single, “Zombie,” was a departure from the wistful love songs the band was known for, showcasing aggressive distorted guitars and a bold political message. The song was an immediate smash, hitting at #1 in several countries and topping the US Modern Rock chart. The follow-up single “Ode To My Family,” was a top 40 hit as well.
