Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ain't it strange
When everything you wanted
Was nothing that you wanted
In the end?
[Verse 2]
Ain't it strange
When everything you dreamt of
Was nothing that you dreamt of
In the end?
[Verse 3]
Take my house, take the car, take the clothes
But you can't tame the spirit
Take the spirit, take the spirit
But you can't
[Verse 4]
Ain't it strange
When everything you wanted
Was nothing that you wanted
In the end?
[Verse 5]
Ain't it strange
When everything you dreamt of
Was nothing that you dreamt of
In the end?
[Verse 6]
Take my house, take the car, take the clothes
But you can't tame the spirit
Take the spirit, take the spirit
But you can't take the spirit
Take the spirit, take the spirit
[Verse 7]
Ain't it strange
When everything you wanted
Was nothing that you wanted
In the end?
Written by: Dolores O'Riordan, Noel Hogan
