Pathetic SensesThe Cranberries

Released: October 28, 1991

[Intro]
Time is an illusion, baby, I'm on your side
Come to the conclusion maybe, you'll never hide
Come to the conclusion, baby, your love has died
Time is an illusion, baby, I'm on your side

[Chorus]
Time is an illusion, baby, I'm on your side
Come to the conclusion maybe, you'll never hide
Come to the conclusion, baby, your love has died
Time is an illusion, baby, I'm on your side

[Post-Chorus]
I want to jump on your head
Until I get blisters
I will drop bombs on your bed
And you'll be calling your sisters

[Chorus]
'Cause time is an illusion, baby, I'm on your side
Love is a confusion maybe, you'll never hide
Life was an attraction, baby, but you never tried
Now it's a destruction maybe, you should have died

[Post-Chorus]
I want to jump on your head
Until I get blisters
I will drop bombs on your bed
But you'll be calling your sisters

[Chorus]
'Cause time is an illusion baby, I'm on your side
Love is a confusion maybe, you'll never hide
Come to the conclusion baby, your love has died
Time is an illusion baby, I'm on your side

[Outro]
Pathetic senses (I'm on your side)
Pathetic senses (I'm on your side)
Pathetic senses (I'm on your side)
Pathetic senses (I'm on your side)

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.
