"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.
What makes me feel so good
I got your lovin' every day
Just like you know you should
You keep it coming, coming my way
yeah yeah yeah
Ain't never felt so fine
It's for sure, tell you
That you're up on the top one of a kind
You bring your love to me, special delivery
Special delivery, you give your love to me
Who got the love I need
Baby, it's you and I know for sure
You know the way to please
And when I need it you got the cure
Let me tell you now
Ain't no lie, tell you that I
Ain't never felt so fine
It's for sure, tell you
That you're up on the top one of a kind
You bring your love to me, special delivery
Special delivery, you give your love to me
All right, up on the top, one of a kind
You bring your love to me, special delivery
Special delivery, you give your love to me

Ain't never felt so fine
It's for sure, tell you
That you're up on the top one of a kind
You bring your love to me, special delivery
Special delivery, you give your love to me
Who got the love I need
Baby, it's you and I know for sure
You know the way to please
And when I need it you got the cure
Let me tell you now
Ain't no lie, tell you that I
Ain't never felt so fine
It's for sure, tell you
That you're up on the top one of a kind
You bring your love to me, special delivery
Special delivery, you give your love to me
All right, up on the top, one of a kind
You bring your love to me, special delivery
Special delivery, you give your love to me
You bring your love to me, special delivery
Special delivery, you give your love to me

Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
