Damn The Man! Week – Day 2 brings us one of the more powerful and beautiful tracks by a staple band of the film’s era, The Cranberries. Their well-regarded disc Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? provides a perfect song of betrayal and isolation for the troubled Corey after realizing the foolishness of her plans. It’s poignant, angry but also sorrowful, even regretful….
“Now you’re just walking away (Walking away),
When you said you always would stay (Always would stay.)
Never before, never again,
You will ignore, I will pretend.
Never before, never again,
You will ignore, I will pretend.
In your world, you’re alone in your face.
You’re alone in your world, you’re alone in your face.
How you said you never would leave me alone, oh.
How you said you never would leave me alone ….”
