SHE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG – I love her song thE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES – ALWAYS LOVED THAT SONG & EVERY LYRIC IN IT IS

TRUTH.

Lyrics

… It seems 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?
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

Thank you, Sinead. I saw you in concert back in the 1990s at the Beacon in NYC. It was a lovely time and I so enjoyed your voice and presence on that stage. I’m sorry you are no longer with us – thank you for your power and for standing up for what you know was the truth – you did it pretty much alone but you were fierce. You were also a big musical influence for me – Rest in Power #sineadoconnor
