Just My Imagination Lyrics
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And if violence causes the silence
Who are we mistaking
But you see it's not me
It's not my family
In your head in your head
They are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head in your head they are crying
[Chorus]
In your head
In your head
Zombie zombie zombie ei ei
What's in your head
In your head.
Zombie, zombie, zombie ei, ei, ei, oh do,do,do,do,do,do,do,do
Another mother's breaking heart is taking over the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old thing since 1916
In your head in your head
Their still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head in your head they are dying
[Chorus]
I feel a little sad every time I hear this song, regardless of how beautiful it is.
We all grow old and we all end up yearning for times as careless as such in this song, when one feels the youngest one could possibly be. I do not know if I will ever be able to live for love again, and leave responsibilities to be a duty that goes on and not a burden, but faith is all you have sometimes.
I think the line is actually "And stay in bed ON TIL Sunday". Many Irish use ON when talking about staying in bed. For example, "I'll be lying on" means you plan to sleep late (or as in the US, we say "sleeping in"). Also there is a bit of a gap between the ON and the Til, when Dolores sings this line. BTW, I visited her grave when we were in Ireland this past May (2018).
This song is my life, and currently I am at the stage where this awesome life of "hit[ting] the town on Friday night and stay[ing] in bed until Sunday" is just coming to an end. It is now just my imagination. And I fear that I will never get it back, but this song gives me hope.
I cannot wait for the next stage in my life when it is not just my imagination... And I can stay in that bed until Sunday...
Great song.Cool video too.

Oh, yes, the initial phrases of vocal lines sound somehow alike, but not to the degree of copying. It could be pure coincidence as well. You try to play various sequences of notes and some sound good, so you use them. And sometimes two people hit on similar one.

This song is really really good. I love it and I felt this way once.
Could almost be a wedding song...
Hey, that's "zombie". Where tha fck are the real lyrics?
as The Cranberries were founded as an indirected rock band at their starting,then they became of the Irish Folks' needs and after being 'weary'o the weary civil war thing that was it that they now gave their irish ones a bit courage with reminiscencing their old do-s.as you could definitely see the countryside where there were ambushes of their ancestors against the shitty anglos army.but they survived it and now it's the time for them to enjoy it while in the background of those struggling days...
It's real meaning doesn't hit you until the song is altered to reflect a present tense. It's about how your life can be just as happy as it always has been if you shift your head space back to the way things were before whatever tragedy or trauma occured or just the way the years and there responsibilities have beaten you down. It is a very positive, intentionally therapeutic song.
