Sinead O'Connor - I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (1990) by Sinead O'Connor (보컬) on maniadb.com

God grant me the serenity to accept
the things I can not change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

I am not like I was before
I thought that nothing would change me
I was not listening anymore
Still you continued to affect me

I was not thinking anymore
Although I said I still was
I'd said "I don't want anymore"
Because of bad experience

But now I feel so different
I feel so different
I feel so different

I have not seen freedom before
And I did not expect to
Don't let me forget now I'm here
Help me to help you to behold you

I started off with many friends
And we spent a long time talking
I thought they meant every word they said
But like everyone else they were stalling

And now they seem so different
They seem so different
They seem so different

I should have hatred for you
But I do not have any
And I have always loved you
Oh you have taught me plenty

The whole time I'd never seen
All you had spread before me
The whole time I'd never seen
All I'd need was inside me

Now I feel so different
I feel so different
I feel so different

I feel so different
I feel so different

I am stretched on your grave
And will lie there forever
If your hands were in mine
I'd be sure we'd not sever
My apple tree my brightness
It's time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am worn by the weather

When my family thinks
That I'm safe in my bed
From night until morning
I am stretched at your head
Calling out to the air
With tears hot and wild
My grief for the girl
That I loved as a child

Do you remember
The night we were lost
In the shade of the blackthorn
And the chill of the frost
Thanks be to Jesus
We did what was right
And your maiden head still
Is your pillar of light

The priests and the friars
Approach me in dread
Because I still love you
My love and you're dead
I still would be your shelter
Through rain and through storm
And with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm

So I'm stretched on your grave
And will lie there forever
If you hands were in mine
I'd be sure we'd not sever
My apple tree my brightness
It's time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am worn by the weather

Each of these
My three babies
I will carry with me
For myself
I ask no one else will be
Mother to these three
And of course
I'm like a wild horse
But there's no other way I could be
Water and feed
Are not tools that I need
For the thing that I've chosen to be

In my soul
My blood and my bones
I have wrapped your cold bodies around me
The face on you
The smell of you
Will always be with me

Each of these
My three babies
I was not willing to leave
Though I tried
I blasphemed and denied
I know they will be returned to me
Each of these
My babies
Have brought you closer to me
No longer mad like a horse
I'm still wild but not lost
From the thing that I've chosen to be

And it's `cause you've thrilled me
Silenced me
Stilled me
Proved things I never believed
The face on you
The smell of you
Will always be with me

Each of these
My three babies
I will carry with me
For myself
I ask no one else will be
Mother to these three

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

And there's millions of people
To offer advice and say how I should be
But they're twisted
And they will never be

Maybe I was mean
But I really don't think so
You asked if I'm scared
And I
the emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes

Everyone can see what's going on
They laugh `cause they know they're untouchable
Not because what I said was wrong

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

margret thatcher on t.v.
shocked by the deaths that took place in bejing
it seems strange that she should be offended
the same orders are given by her

I've said this before now
you said I was childish + you'll say it now
"remember what I told you
if they hated me they will hate you"

england's not the mythical land of madame george + roses
it's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
and I love my boy + that's why I'm leaving
I don't want him to be aware that there's
any such thing as grieving

young mother down at smithfield
5 am looking for food for her kids
in her arms
and the first word that they learned was "please"

these are dangerous days
to say what you feel is to dig your own grave
"remember what I told you
if you were of the world they would love you"

england's not the mythical land of madame george + roses
it's the home of police who kill blacks boys on mopeds
and I love my boy + that's why I'm leaving
I don't want him to be aware that there's
any such thing as grieving

ke a bird without a song
Nohing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you

I went to the doctor guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl you better try to have fun
No matter what you do
But he's a fool
Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

the phone calls
always left me unsure
they'd never say things of their own accord
I am preoccupied
I can't get them out of my mind
they are terrified

and if you said jump in the river I would
because it would probably be a good idea
you're not supposed to be here at all
it's all been a gorgeous mistake
sick one or clean one
the best one
that God ever made

when I kissed you
you didn't mind
I thought I tasted of too many cigarettes
but you tasted of wine
and I'm not going to change my mind
just because of what they said
the worm has laid eggs in their hearts
but not in my head

(chorus)

there's been days like t
and i liked it all
like the times we did it so hard
there was blood of the wall

and if you said jump in the river I would
because it would probably be a good idea

I'm full of good intentions
like I never was before
it's too late for prevention
but I don't think it's too late for the cure

so you call in your minions
see what you can find
night time or morning
these hands are sticky but I don't mind
why must you always be around?
why can't you just leave it be?
it's done nothing so far but destroy my life
you cause as much sorrow dead
as you did when you were alive

I never said I was though
that was everyone else
so you're a fool to attack me
for the image that you built yourself

it just sounds more vicious
then I actually mean
I really am soft tender + sweet

why must you always be around?
why can't you just leave me be?
you've done nothing so far but destory my life
you cause as much sorrow dead
as you did when you were alive

(repeat

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

today's the day
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 acquintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already

(repeat

I'm walking through the desert
and I am not frightened although it's hot
I have all that I requested
and I do not want what I haven't got

I have learned this from my mother
see how happy she has made me
I will take this road much further
though I know not where it takes me

I have water for my journey
I hav
no longer will I be hungry
for the bread of life is mine

I saw a navy blue bird
flying way above the sea
I walked on + I learned later
that this navy blue bird was me

I returned a paler blue bird
and this is the advice they gave me
"you must not try to be too pure
you must fly closer to the sea"

so I'm walking through the desert
and I am not frightened although it's hot
I have all that I requested
and I do not want what I haven't got

Think about my little girl
Her yellow skin and her dark curl
And how her father's heart was frozen
I spoke to her and I said:
"You won't regret the mother you have chosen"
I lied. Where's she tonight?

I left him now we're apart
And I think about his cruel heart
And how his lies have left mine broken
To think that I spoke to him then I said:
"She won't regret the father she has chosen"
I lied. Where's he tonight?

You were precious to me
After all I called you into being
I wanted you to know that
Yes, you were precious to me

And I miss my little boy
I strayed away, so far away
And I need him tonight
To feel his hands around my face
His loving eyes
His happy face
Would be so right

Once I sat in my husbands car
Him in my arms, woke up and saw me crying
My heart wouldn't work
And this he did my special child
He touched my face with his hand and smiled
Oh boy, everything's all right
Don't cry, everything's all right
Don't cry, Jakes's here tonight
Don't hide, Jake's here alive

I am stretched on your grave
and will lie there forever
if your hands were in mine
I'd be sure we'd not sever
my apple tree my brightness
it's time we were together
for I smell of the earth
and am worn by the weather

when my family thinks
that I'm safe in my bed
from night until morning
I am streteched at your head
calling out to the air
with tears hot and wild
my grief for the girl
that I loved as a child

do you remember
the night we were lost
in the shade of the blackthorn
and the chill of the frost
thanks be to Jesus
we did what was right
and your maiden head still
is your pillar of light

the priests and the friars
approach me in dread
because I still love you
my love and you're dead
I still would be your shelter
through rain and through storm
and with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm

so I'm stretched on your grave
and will lie there forever
if you hands were in mine
I'd be sure we'd not sever
my apple tree my brightness
it's time we were together
for I smell of the earth
and am worn by the weather

I?ll remember it
And Dublin in a rainstorm
And sitting in the long grass in summer
Keeping warm
I?ll remember it
Every restless night
We were so young then
We thought that everything
We could possibly do were the right
Then we moved
Stolen from our very eyes
And I wondered where you went to
Tell me when did the light die
You will rise
You'll return
The phoenix from the flame
You will learn
You will rise
You'll return
Being what you are
There is no other Troy
For you to burn

And I never meant to hurt you
I swear I didn't mean
Those things I said
I never meant to do that to you
Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead
Oh, does she love you
What do you want to do?
Does she need you like I do?
Do you love her?
Is she good for you?
Does she hold you like I do?

Do you want me?
Should I leave?
I know you're always telling me
That you love me
Just sometimes I wonder
If I should believe
Oh, I love you
God, I love you
I'd kill a dragon for you
I?ll die
But I will rise
And I will return
The Phoenix from the flame
I have learned
I will rise
And you'll see me return
Being what I am
There is no other Troy
For me to burn

And you should?ve left the light on
You should?ve left the light on
Then I wouldn't have tried
And you'd never have known
And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter
No I wouldn't have pulled you close
I wouldn't have screamed
No I can't let you go
And the door wasn't closed
No I wouldn't have pulled you to me
No I wouldn't have kissed your face
You wouldn't have begged me to hold you
If we hadn't been there in the first place
Ah but I know you wanted me to be there oh oh
Every look that you threw told me so
But you should?ve left the light on
You should?ve left the light on
And the flames burned away
But you're still spitting fire
Make no difference what you say
You're still a liar
You're still a liar
You're still a lawyer

I want your hands on me
What I want, give me
You know I wanna please you
What I wanna do to you

You don't waste no time, do you?
You know I'm looking through you
Why you wanna tease me
I want you to come and please me

Put'em on, put'em on, put'em on me
Put'em on, put'em on, put'em on me

I want you call me to you
I wanna move, will you?
I really wanna feel you

Put'em on, put'em on, put'em on me
Put'em on, put'em on, put'em on me
Put'em on, put'em on, put'em on me
Put'em on, put'em on, put'em on me
Put'em on, put'em on, put'em on me
Put'em on, put'em on, put'em on me
Put'em on, put'em on, put'em on me
Put'em on, put'em on, put'em on me

Put your hands on me
Put your hands on me
Put your hands on me
Put your hands on me
Put your hands on me
Put your hands on me
