There's something with the way you walk
There's something there that lights a spark inside of me
And it makes me want to sing
Makes me forget everything
There's something there inside your eyes
Lets me know you'd never lie
You fill me up and I know what you need
Do you know what you mean to me?


Well I watch you sleep sometimes and it feels like the first time
And you're always on my mind
Everyday is like the first day
And I talk to you sometimes even though you never talk back
And I buy you things sometimes 'cause I don't mind

There's something strange, I can't get mad
Even when you're being bad - just look at me, and I forget everything
I try but I can't be mean
You sit by me and I scratch your back
You lick my hands then I get a rash, but that's okay
Because we, we are a team
You make a mess and then I clean

Well I watch you sleep sometimes and it feels like the first time
And you're always on my mind
Everyday is like the first day
And I talk to you sometimes even though you never talk back
And I buy you things sometimes 'cause I don't mind

There's something with the way you act
Makes me laugh when you chase the cats
You chase 'em around
And when it's close to feeding time, you stare at me and whine
You won't lay down, you'll hardly sit
I give you a bath when you smell like shit
But you don't mind
And we go out every now and then
And when you're done then we come back in

Well I watch you sleep sometimes and it feels like the first time
And you're always on my mind
Everyday is like the first day
And I talk to you sometimes even though you never talk back
And I buy you things sometimes 'cause I don't mind
Yeah I don't mind
Yeah I don't mind

    i thought this was like the nicest song ever for ages then i sent the lyrics to my sister, who told me it was about a dog, then i listened to the song again and it made a hell of alot more sense plus the barking at the end gives it away a little

    wait.. he sings about cats and "when you smell like shit" and people still thought it was about a guy/girl? thats great. the chorus is still applicable to a relationship though. and kinda sweet... which is kinda twisted... which makes this a great song.

    Wow...I realized it was about a dog in a few days when I finally understood everything they were saying. At first though, I could only understand the chorus (Well I watch you sleep sometimes and it feels like the first time And you're always on my mind Everyday is like the first day And I talk to you sometimes even though you never talk back And I buy you things sometimes 'cause I don't mind) And I thought the song was hilarious because I thought they were making fun of stalkers. Then I understood with (You lick my hands then I get a rash) and (I give you a bath when you smell like shit) that it was about a dog. I was a bit disappointed, but I still like the song. As much as I love this band though, I wish their lyrics were less obvious so it would be worth it to interpret them. There isn't really anything in any song to interpret as far as meanings go.

    My Opinion
    i think he's pointing out how little the typical love songs actually mean... you could sing them to your dog and mean much the same thing.

Zombie
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference. "Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaken - Another mother's breaking Heart is taking over" Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead. "But you see it's not me It's not my family" References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.

Alma Matters
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
