The Cranberries : "Zombie"

The Cranberries : "Zombie"
Album "No need to argue" © Island 1994
Introduction chant, à 2 voix :
Couplet 1
Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken ?
Couplet 2
Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the violence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.
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...
It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...
Refrain
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie ?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, ...
Refrain (x2)
Ostinato basse :
Le groupe The Cranberries se forme en 1990 en Irlande.
Leur premier album sort en 1992, mais c'est en 1996 que
viendra le succès avec l'album "No Need to Argue", d'où
est extraite la chanson "Zombie".
Cette chanson évoque le conflit religieux qui oppose
catholiques et protestants en Irlande du Nord depuis les
années 60 (cessez-le-feu en 1998).
