    LMMFAO!!! Those songs used to make me laugh so much! See below why...

    ZOMBIE:
    "With their tanks and their bums, and they're bums, and their guns"

    YEAT'S GRAVE:
    "Why do I sit here in the grave?"

    I JUST SHOT JOHN LENNON:
    "It was the fearful night of Dec. 8th/he was returning home from the studio late" (fake gunshots and all... a bit much I think)

    ANIMAL INSTINCT:
    "Something happened to me/While I was having a cup of tea"

    DESPERATE ANDY:
    "Isn't it dandy/ralralalallala/tralalalalla/you're so randy/andy"

    ...the most uninspiring songwriting ever!

    maybe you were laughing because you got the lyrics wrong? :)

    not really a fan of desparate andy myself, either.

    That is a good one. :)
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Saw them in the Woodlands in 1996 with Toad the wet sprocket as the opening act. Cranberries put on a great live show- I was impressed. Although I quit listening to them after "to the Faithful departed" record. I really enjoyed their love show, and just figured that their time in the limelight as far as catering to an American audience had faded. Dolorace (sp) has a beautiful voice though- too bad they split up.

    No way! My girlfriend had won front row tickets to that show but I couldn't it make it. I was so bummed. That was my biggest missed concert opportunity ever!

    Love love...the Cranberries!!! I would play them allll the time!!!!
    I've started listening to flyleaf...they kinda remind me of the harder side of Cranberries like "Zombie". Give them a listen, as soon as you log onto their site "I'm So Sick" starts playing...just give it a few seconds, it starts slow them rocks out!!! http://www.flyleafmusic.com

    I liked it until it sounded like she got sick on herself. ;)

    Just watched an interview with Elijah Wood, never knew he was in this video (or I just forgot). Man, I miss the Cranberries. Every once in a while I just dive deep into all of their albums, she was such a power house with that yodeling voice, the entire band, such great music.
