无论过了多少年，我还是能想起这个名字，那个用灵魂唱歌的人现在越来越少的出现在视线里。
如此干净温暖的声音很难再找到了，可能再也找不到了。
可怎能忘记这个声音曾洗净我心底每一个角落。每一个角落。
试过很多次去写她，说她，都失败了，对于这样一个永恒的歌者，我们能够做的，只能是听她。

Sinead O'Connor - This is a Rebel Song

Written by Sinead O'Connor
Album: 《Gospel Oak》1997

I love you my hard Englishman
Your rage is like a fist in my womb
Can't you forgive what you think I've done
And love me – I'm your woman
And I desire you my hard Englishman
And there is no more natural thing
So why should I not get loving
Don't be cold Englishman
How come you've never said you love me
In all the time you've known me
How come you never say you're sorry
And I do
Ah, please talk to me Englishman
What good will shutting me out get done
Meanwhile crazies are killing our sons
Oh listen – Englishman
I've honoured you – hard Englishman
Now I am calling your heart to my own
Oh let glorious love be done
Be truthful – Englishman
How come you've never said you love me
In all the time you've known me
How come you never say you're sorry
And I do
I do

Sinead O'Connor - Drink Before the War

Written by Sinead O'Connor
Album: 《The Lion And The Cobra》1987

Well, you tell us that we're wrong
And you tell us not to sing our song
Nothing we can say will make you see
You got a heart of stone
You can never feel
You say, "Oh, I'm not afraid
It can't happen to me
I've lived my life as a good man
Oh, no you're out of your mind
It won't happen to me
'Cause I've carried my weight
And I've been a strong man"
Listen to the man in the liquor store
Yelling, "Anybody want a drink before the war?"
And your parents paid you through
You got a nice big car
Nothing bothers you
Somebody cut out your eyes
You refuse to see
Somebody cut out your heart
You refuse to feel
And you live in a shell
You create your own hell
You live in the past
And talk about war
And you dig your own grave yeah
But it's a life you can save
So stop getting fussed
It's not gonna happen
And you'll cry
But you'll never fall
No, no, no
You're building a wall
Gotta break it down
Start again
No, no, no
It won't happen to us
We've lived our lives
Basically we've been good men
So stop talking of war
'Cause you know we've heard it all before
Why don't you go out there
And do something useful
Oh, listen to the man in the liquor store
He's yelling, "Anybody wanna drink before the war?"
"Anybody wanna drink before the war?"
"Anybody wanna drink before the war?"

Sinead O'Connor - The Lamb's Book of Life

Written by Kevin Briggs, Sinead O'Connor
Album: 《Faith And Courage》2000

Out of Ireland I have come
Great hatred and little room
Maimed us at the start
And now home just breaks my heart
To America I have come
I hope to bring your preacher man
Home to show my people how they can
Get their names back in the book of life of the lamb
I know that I've done many things
To give you reason not to listen to me
Especially as I have been so angry
But if you knew me maybe you would understand me
Words can't express how sorry I am
If I ever caused pain to anybody
I just hope that you can show compassion
And love me enough to just please listen
Out of Ireland I did run
Great hatred and little room
Aimed to break my heart
Wreck me up and tear me all apart
To America I have come
I need to find a good preacher man
Who can show me how I can
Get my name back in the book of life of the lamb
I bring these blessings with me
A strong heart full of hope and a feeling
That everything in this world would be okay
If people just believed enough in God to pray
But the world thinks that sounds crazy
And that's the thing that makes me sing so sadly
To think that we would leave God so lonely
To think that we would mess up our own destiny
Out of history we have come
With great hatred and little room
It aims to break our hearts
Wreck us up and tear us all apart
But if we listen to the preacher man
He can show us how it can be done
To live in peace and live as one
Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb
Out of hopelessness we can come
If people just believe it can be done
'Cause every prayer ever prayed is heard
Take power in the power of the word
Out of history we have come
With great hatred and little room
It aims to break our hearts
Wreck us up and tear us all apart
But if we listen to the Rasta man
He can show us how it can be done
To live in peace and live as one
Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb
Out of history we have come
With great hatred and little room
It aims to break our hearts
Smash us up and tear us all apart
But if we listen to the Rasta woman
She can show us how it can be done
To live in peace and live as one
Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb

Sinead O'Connor - The Last Day of Our Acquaintance

Written by Sinead O'Connor
Album: 《I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got》1990

This is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know what your answer will be
I know you don't love me anymore
You used to hold my hand when the plane took off
Two years ago there just seemed so much more
And I don't know what happened to our love
Days and days
Our friendship has been stale
And we will meet later to finalise the details
Two years ago the seed was planted
And since then you have taken me for granted
But this is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already
But this is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already
I know your answer already
I know your answer already

Written by Sinead O'Connor, John Charles Reynolds
Album: 《Universal Mother》1994

She took my father from my life oh
Took my sister and brothers oh
I watched her torturing my child
Feeble I was then but now I'm grown
Fire on Babylon
Oh yes a change has come
Fire on Babylon
Fire

Fire
She's taken everything I liked
She's taken every lover oh
And all along she gave me lies
Just to make me think I loved her
Fire on Babylon
Oh yes a change has come
Look what she did to her son
Fire

Fire on
Life's backwards
Life's backwards
People turn around
The house is burned
The house is burned
The children are gone
Fire

Fire on Babylon
Oh yes a change has come
Fire on Babylon
Fire
Fire, oh

Fire on Babylon
Oh yes a change has come

Sinead O'Connor - Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home

Written by Johnny Mullins
Album: 《Am I Not Your Girl?》1992

We used to go out walking hand in hand
You told me all the big things you had planned
It wasn't long 'til all your dreams came true
Success put me in second place with you
You have no time to love me anymore
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
And I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home
If we could share an evening now and then
I'm sure we'd find true happiness again
You never hold me like you used to do
Oh, it's funny what success has done to you
You have no time to love me anymore
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
And I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home
Success has made a failure of our home
I never changed
I'm still the same
I never changed
Stop what you're saying
You're killing me
And am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not your girl?
Am I not?
