Lyrics:
… It seems like years since you held the baby
While I wrecked the bedroom
You said it was dangerous after Sunday
And I knew you loved me
He thinks I just became famous
And that's what messed me up
But he's wrong
How could I possibly know what I want
When I was only twenty-one?
And there's millions of people
To offer advice and say how I should be
But they're twisted and they will never be
Any influence on me
But you will always be
You will always be
If I treated you mean
I really didn't mean to
But you know how it is
And how a pregnancy can change you
I see plenty of clothes that I like
But I won't go anywhere nice for a while
All I want to do is just sit here
And write it all down and rest for a while
I can't bear to be in another city
One where you are not
I would return to nothing without you
If I'm your girlfriend or not
Maybe I was mean
But I really don't think so
You asked if I'm scared
And I said so
Everyone can see what's going on
They laugh 'cause they know they're untouchable
Not because what I said was wrong
Whatever it may bring
I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience
I will sleep in peace
Maybe it sounds mean
But I really don't think so
You asked for the truth and I told you
Through their own words
They will be exposed
They've got a severe case of
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes

No need to post here outside of agreeing with you 1000000%... There are so many fakes in this world today. Show me anyone who was more tough than she was when she ripped up the pope's picture on SNL (ETC!!!).. I had no idea what it was about watching it live.. Being a "Episcopal" at that time, I defaulted.. Until I finally realized WHY. I'm 6'1 and 220.. Semi trained fighter and definitely someone who's left blood on the streets. (mine and others).. This woman's toughness and LOVE far outshine anything I am capable of...

God Rest this magnificent artist. When she first came out my husband and I thought she had the wildest, best music ever. I've listened to this album and Something Beautiful a thousand times. An artist wrestling the world in chaos fitting in her mind. This woman never had mental illness, she believed what they told her over a FB post. Her younger self would've flipped them a finger, wrote a song and carried on but attack her motherhood and you see the fragile, sensitive soul exposed. The best mother, the best artist, the best songs to carry on. I can hardly believe she is gone.

[@ronp187]

This is one that aged well. She spoke truths and she was right. So ahead of her time as an artist. She is sleeping peace.

[@czuback31]

“Maybe it sounds mean, but I really don’t think so, you asked for truth and I told you.” This and Mandinka are my two favorites. She made a lot of great music, and spoke the truth when no one wanted to hear. She spoke out about the abuse in the church and was vilified for it. She wrote “Black Boys On Mopeds” 30 yrs before the 2020 BLM marches. She spoke up for those whose voices weren’t heard and made beautiful music doing so. I hope she now knows the legacy she left behind and the difference she did make on this earth.

[@jackjude]

Great comment. However, "She wrote “Black Boys On Mopeds” 30 yrs before the 2020 BLM marches. Perhaps overlooking the civil rights movement somewhat?

[@yuri04teixeira]

This song in particular, with this powerful lyrics, her voice at a perfect point inbetween anger and sweetness, and all this timeless message, is what came to my mind when I knew about her passing away. I couldn't help but listening to this over and over today. Will always be my favourite of hers, and she will always be one of the greatest. She was decades ahead of her time, and this world simply wasn't worth of her presence. Thank you, Sinead, for all the life lessons, the awful truths you brought us (and that have costed you so much) and for the soundtrack to so many lives!... I really hope you are in a better, peaceful place... finally.

I even briefly met you after the gig at the back of the event & you shook my hand & asked if I enjoyed it. You were amazing then & remained that way throughout your entire life.

Upon hearing of Sinead’s death though i was genuinely shocked & saddened when a news alert popped up on my phone. In 1987 when I bought her debut album on vinyl I played it over & over & over as much as I could. When she was touring in my area in 1990 I of course had to go & see her. I don’t remember a whole lot about the gig itself now but the highlight was very briefly seeing her backstage after & she signed a couple of her record covers I brought with me. I still have the Mandinka 7” single here where she signed “To ………. love Sinead.” Despite her terrible start in life & subsequent troubles in & out of the public eye, she always stood out from 99% of all other famous people, fellow musicians & celebrities in general because she never once sold out or did anything that she didn’t want to do. She was filled with an integrity & honesty that so many lack & it didn’t go unnoticed which is why she was genuinely loved by so many of her fans around the world.

She never shied away from the truth or telling it or showing us how human & fragile she could be at times as well. Everything about her was a 100% real as far as I could tell. How many celebrities or just human being in general can we honestly say that about?

[@AndLittleDidSheKnow]

Such a brilliant song that perfectly expresses her complexity as a person and skill as a songwriter. She's defiant yet vulnerable, sure of herself but also willing to consider someone else's perspective, wise but admits she doesn't have all the answers. The chorus changes each time, adding shades of meaning as the song evolves. The title doesn't appear until the last line, driving home the metaphor only after she's built out her world view. One of my all-time favorites. RIP Sinead ❤

[@melindawakley7859]

@LittleDidSheKnow Sinead O’Connor didn’t actually write this song. But I believe it was written for her to sing specifically. Becos one of the unusual things we knew about Sinead O’Connor in the UK and Ireland at the time she became well known , was that she had a kid, already, very young. In fact she was juggling that at the exactly same time as national fame. And she quickly ended up a single parent too. Or at least they split up alot. I remember clearly she wouldn’t play the ‘female commercial singer’ game. Not at all. And neither would British/American black singer Neneh Cherry, she performed her song, Buffalo Stance, clearly 7 months pregnant on Top Of The Pops in 1988. That shocked ppl then. Neneh didn’t give a sh**t. She was like Sinead. She wouldn’t play the music men’s record company game. That female singers had to present to public in a certain way.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. RIP, Sinead. 💐

I had zero English knowledge in 1992 when I first heard this by the age of 8. It impacted me greatly. CDs were pretty expensive for us in Brazil, so I listened to this album a lot. We didn´t have many until 96, when they started to be cheaper. I had a self made cassette copy that I used to carry everywhere.

Never get tired of this song RIP Sinead

[@stevechabalik6985]

Watching /listening to this again, and I cannot escape the thought that we just lost a MAJOR artist. I am so, so sorry that I didn't follow this amazing woman's music more closely over the past few decades. It's too late to say "I love you, Sinead" but...I love you, Sinead.

[@lindabunnell3227]

Well said. I too am catching up. I only knew the one song. I can't listen to anyone else now.

[@annkat100]

I’m in tears. RIP my Queen. You were such a huge part of my earlier life. You helped through countless difficulties. I’ll never, ever cease hving love for you in my heart, & I’ll NEVER forget you. I’ve shared your music w/ my now young adult children. You’ll live forever!! Goddess speed to the throne you own. 😭😭🌟❤️♥️❤️♥️😩🪴

[@EricaConger]

I’ve been in tears since I heard. This song was the core of my early 20s. I can’t tell you the number of times I screamed sang this song, feeling as though she was the only person on the planet that understood me. I wish I could give you a big hug right now. Just know you’re not alone. ❤❤

[@juliegayleballiu1582]

Same here ❤ listening to her music early 90s helped me find m emotions that I'd hidden for too long. Rest in peace, beautiful woman ❤

[@samusjp2642]

😭😭💔💔💔💔💔

[@joaquinalexander9]

"Whatever it may bring I will live by my own policies I will sleep with a clear conscience I will sleep in peace" These Lyrics seem to have truly defined you Sinead. May you now Rest in Peace Beautiful Woman.

[@moonkraab]

I will sleep in peace. May she sleep now far away from this human shit show of players and tricksters and liars and cheats. Sleep well Goddess.

[@shyamravindran6793]

i was about to say the same thing with the same lines....

[@globalhumanism]

This song and every other one on this album has been permanently engraved in my mind from listening to it constantly since it came out, but just saw the video now. It was decades ahead of its time, like everything else she did. 💜 ❤ 💜

[@johnnymac26]

she's a hero...always

[@frisk151]

Much more so than MOST ever give her credit for being... She never torn the picture of the pope (lowercase on purpose) for attention.. She did it hoping to shine the light on abuses.. "Whatever".. She was a TRUE rock.. Nothing is for free.. :(. I think she finally ran out of energy.. But, I will love her forever for what she has given to us... Or, at least to some of us..

[@nlu92usc]

R.I.P. Sinead. May your hurting soul find peace in the afterlife.

[@rockoneinamillion9427]

Pure gold songwriting

[@jadenaddams3674]

She was an incredibly brave woman. Not afraid to blow the whistle and piss people off for speaking the truth. For whatever her music might be considered, I always thought she embodied the spirit of Punk for that. :) Rest in peace, sister.

Happy 57th birthday my dearest soul Sinead

[@robertscaife2361]

My wife got me addicted to this singer she is awesome I didnt even know who she was ..she has such wise words that are so true ..this is an awesome song what an awesome singer and I'm glad I'm married to an awesome lady with good taste in music

[@LaineyTsang]

You’re awesome for saying/feeling all of that!

[@meganzee8544]

Pure talent who deserved all this love when she was still with us💔 you’re at peace with your baby boy now🕊️ thank you for the music

[@franhowell7294]

This has always been my favourite Sinead song, most definitely ahead of her time. I also lost my son for the same reason as Shane 💔 yes, it's a living nightmare. My son was also the lamp that lit up my heart ❤️ I've always looked up to Sinead and to the lyrics of this song. I used to copy the way she dances in this video, played it over and over in the 90s. I long to be with my son, the love from my daughter keeps me here and I'm blessed to have received many signs from my son 🙏

[@ashleymayfield4777]

One of my favorite songs..she was open with her pain, which is a beautiful, and disappearing trait. Rip, lovely soul. Thank you.

[@renssy78]

Same ! Rest easy lady x

[@dianaquintanilla6103]

She was a star on the sky that we couldn't appreciate in her majesty.

[@Michelle-Williams-Melbournite]

Spoken from your Heart . Years ☘️🥁🎶 ahead of today. Rest in Peace ☮️ beautiful

[@martyziel1267]

Thru their own words, they will be exposed…. Man, she was so ahead of our time…. ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheDottiep]

I hope you are at peace now, Sinead. Thank you for your beautiful music, your brilliance and your courage. I will always love this song.

[@rachelwise148]

I wish all the love, respect, and admiration for her work pouring out now, she could of heard and felt.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Weren't we all dancing like Sinead back then?

[@divinetime999]

😂 this comment cracked me up! Yeah we did!

[@susannahv7219]

Honouring Sinead's vast legacy on what would have been her 57th birthday. I'm a deeper, richer person for her contributions to this world, as well as left forever bereft at her early departure from it. RIP

[@nelsonitaliano5095]

She is the face of integrity. She stood for what she believed in and shouted it out on the rooftop giving up the fame and fortune. That's a TRUE ARTIST right there. I love how this song she is calling out all the evil in the music industry. She will be missed.

[@ellyraborn007]

Love her no auto tune, just raw incredible vocals!

[@markwaldron8954]

Today's artists autotune to hell and back trying (and failing) to sound half as good as Sinead sounds naturally.

[@manuelarutschmann6474]

Qq

[@AnnaLVajda]

Yeah shaved her head so they were less likely to sexualize her that's why Rose McGowan did it too.

[@EphemeralProductions]

Thank God they didn’t have auto tune in 1990! ❤😂
