You did it, 'cause you want it
Alibi, alibi
And you took it, 'cause you need it
Alibi, alibi

But if I've done something wrong
There's no ifs and buts
'Cause I love you just as much
As I hate your guts
Alibi, alibi, alibi

You don't need anybody
Alibi, alibi
But you are the only one who knows this
Alibi, alibi
You deserve it, 'cause you're special
Alibi, alibi
Maybe Jesus wants you for a sunbeam
Alibi, alibi

But if I've done something wrong
There's no ifs and buts
'Cause I love you just as much
As I hate your guts
Alibi, alibi, alibi

Sometimes I'm so forgiving ohhhh oh
Everything seems bad to me
But I can't go on living
With this
Alibi, alibi, alibi, alibi

Insane, but I'm mundane
Alibi, alibi
You wanted to be famous
Alibi alibi
Sorry that your mummy doesn't love you
Alibi, alibi
Stop me, if you've heard this
Alibi, alibi

But if I've done something wrong
There's no ifs and buts
'Cause I love you just as much
As I hate your guts
Alibi, alibi, alibi

Another Love
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.

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.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

Me and Johnny
Matt Paxton
Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
