After issued Linger, the Irish band Cranberries is in the map. Let’s review the lyric, “Oh, I thought the world of you, I thought nothing could go wrong, But I was wrong, I was wrong, If you, if you could get by” .

      3. ode to my family

“Unhappiness where’s when I was young, And we didn’t give a damn, Cause we were raised, To see life as fun and take it if we can, My mother, my mother, She’d hold me, She’d hold me when I was out there, My father, my father, He liked me, well he liked me, Does anyone care?”.
