live performance
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 Tags :sinead
You're jealous
You just can't stand to see me get along
without you
Like I do, you told me to
Now you're jealous
You don't know how hard it was to be alone
without you
And wanting you, like I do
I would have stayed if you'd wanted
Would have been willing
But you said I treat you so badly
I can't be forgiven
You know I WOULD have done anything
To make it through with you
But I don't deserve to be lonely
Just cuz you say I do
You're jealous
You don't know how hard it is to be a woman
in love with you
When you're so cruel, and so jealous
You don't think about anybody's feelings but
your own
Are you coming home?
I would have stayed if you'd wanted
Would have been willing
But you said I treat you so badly
I can't be forgiven
You know I would have done anything
To make it through with you
But I don't deserve to be lonely
Just cuz you say I do
So if you're gonna go you've gotta go and if
you're stayin stay
Cuz I can't take the pain you keep leavin
when you go away
If you're gonna go you've gotta go and if
you're stayin stay
Cuz I can't take the pain you keep leavin
when you go away
I don't deserve to be SO lonely
I don't deserve to cry
I don't deserve to be SO lonely Tags :sineadgaycouple
As down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I,
Their armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by.
No pipe did hum, no battle drum
Did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus' bells o'er the Liffey swells
Rang out in the foggy dew.
Right proudly high in Dublin town
Hung they out a flag of war.
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky
Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar.
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through;
While Brittania's Huns with their long-range
guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew.
The bravest fell, and the requiem bell
Rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Easter-tide
In the springing of the year.
While the world did gaze with deep amaze
At those fearless men but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew.
And back through the glen I rode again
And my heart with grief was sore
For I parted then with valiant men
Whom I never shall see more
But to and fro
In my dreams I go
And I kneel and pray for you
For slavery fled
Oh, glorious dead
When you fell in the foggy dew Tags :sineadchieftains
