Lyrics:
Margareth Thatcher on TV
Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing
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 and 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 and roses
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
And I love my boy and 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
Five a.m., looking for food for her kids
In her arms she holds three cold babies
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 and roses
It's the home of police who kill blacks boys on mopeds
And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
I don't want him to be aware that there's
Any such thing as grieving

She so did tell the truth but her poor tormented soul was troubled by her childhood upbringing. No one means any harm by saying this. May her soul find peace at last.
From A Black Man in America: When she died, maybe you Irish may have not known, so many of us Black people were deeply hurt, we mourned. We saw her on television first , we saw her in her glorious power on late night shows, and on music channels, this clear voice like water and crystal. We saw a warrior of a people who have fought centuries for dignity and a proud place in the world. A warrior Queen, only made mad by the jackals against justice. Now, I am so proud that members of the Irish government can clearly call out an extermination of a people, no matter whether they are of a different faith or a half hue skin different from you. She is a shining example of your great people, from those small islands. She and Ireland continue to prove that it isn’t about the hectares you stand upon, but the principle you stand upon that make you important.

A powerful statement, the principle you stand upon is what makes you important. Love that. A proud Irish man here.

We find it disturbing that right now it is acceptable to kill all those people by people forgetting they are killing just that people. We use to many labels made to divide and belittle people and forget the endless similarities and sameness we truly are. It is only when we were children we would all play and have the same habits and unite until we grow and the labels start to divide us.

Yes, I fully agreed. I am hoping that Ireland will rename the Dublin airport to Sinéad instead.❤
As the decades have gone by, this has become her most covered song. It's her best protest song. RIP, Sinead. You were a national treasure.
“I love my boy and that’s why I’m leaving/I don’t want him to be aware that there’s any such thing as grieving.” This song is heart wrenching, especially now, knowing what she went through with her younger son.
Rest in peace Sinead. You were punk and raw and troubled and lovely. I'll miss you to the end of my days.
RIP Sinead. Thanks for opening an young man's eyes by sharing your pain with the world.

@@BridgeandTunnelScooterClub she'd like that very much - to be heard and believed, now I hope you use your voice and yeah, some will only hear blah blah, just keep speaking the truth ~
And nothing has changed since she sang this - just got worse. Sinead, so brave, so beautiful, so talented, so fierce - RIP with your beloved son Shane.
Man, this song. I have no words. It made me an instant fan of hers. I have nothing but respect for her. 🎶👊🏾😎🤙🏾🙏🏾
THIS is the song I'll remember Sinead for and it’s the first song that came to mind when I heard the sad news. RIP 🙏
Non, elle n'était pas malade, simplement d'une grande sensibilité, avec une enfance traumatisée. Elle avait tout les talents, très intelligente, la plus belle des âmes que la terre ait portée. Elle a fait beaucoup de bien à ce monde. Et ce monde ne l'a pas aidé. Ma Sinéad, je t'aime infiniment, tu restes la meilleure,❤❤❤ tu vis en moi.
RIP Sinéad. You were loved.
This is what empathy sounds like. A sound too painful to be anything less than beautiful. Sinead was too empathetic to live a long life in a cruel world. All we can do now is carry her spirit like a torch in the dark, lighting our way through dangerous days.
Just heard about her passing. I listened to this album so often that I have all of the songs memorized. This one and "Three Babies" were my favorites. May she Rest in Peace. She was amazing.

Thank you Sinead for being yourself in a world where that is in your words "digging your own grave" You will be truly missed😢
“These are dangerous days… to say what you feel is to lay your own grave” ❤️😢
One of the best things she wrote....such a fierce & fragile soul!
One of her lesser-known but brilliant songs. Her beautiful voice and spirit will be missed. RIP Sinead
Sinead made me feel seen. Thank you. ✊🏽🙏🏽 RIP Queen. 🕊
This was one of the first songs that politicized me as a teenager. Rest in power, Sinéad. Thank you for forging a new path.
"The truth is a sharp spear that flies home and misses not..." RIP, Sinead, you were one brave soul and you pulled your weight.
Ironic how we’re again in the very same boat once again. We humans seem to NEVER learn anything. She was a force that changed my thinking forever. ❤️

I can honestly say I felt the same way -- that the balance of good vs. evil in the world shifted that day.

After decades and decades since my love affair began with Sinead, and even though it's been some years of not hearing some of her songs I can still sing them along with all of them word for word still. So much love.
I've known how to play this song for years. Lately I can't get to the end without my voice cracking and something getting in my eye.
May your soul be at peace and with your beloved son…. 🌹
May your soul rest in peace. I admired you so. So many nights and days with your music on repeat.
This was one of my favorite cd's as a young person.
Sad that this same issue is present everywhere on earth. When will the hate stop? Let's be the rainbow in someone's clouds!!
My brother introduced me to this album on a road trip in the early 90's. I put the walkman headphones on and let the pure sweet power of Sinead's voice wash over me as I watched the Arizona landscape go by.
Rest in power Sinéad, you belonged in this world to many but not all. You are a powerful soul, I will miss you.
Thank you....... R.I.P. Sinéad O'Connor 😥
Poor girl passed away today. I will miss her. the world loses a perfect voice.
RIP Sinead, this is one of her greatest, most powerful songs, outstanding xx
What a song, what a person, take care Sinèad x
This WHOLE ALBUM IS TRULY RAW connection to LIFE & her talent was GIFTED by SPIRITUAL CONNECTION.
Rest well Sinead O’Connor
I've saved this here vid to my "Mentors, Leaders, Heros" list. In the "old way," I ask . . . May she be met by the right ancestors. May the right gates be opened unto her. May she be led upon the right path. May she arrive at the right place. For the highest good, truth, and beauty of all our relations. In this generation, and throughout all generations of time. Slán Abhaile Sinéad. Beannacht ar an taobh eile leat.
This was always my favourite. Hated Thatcher too
Sad you are gone your music lives on for generations to hear. May the Creator of Creation Ahayah carry your soul home to a Heveanly Peace. 🙏⚘

Sad, sad news. Her star shone brightly.
RIP you were a big part of my life in the 90's as a kid listening to rage
(Y la primera palabra que aprendieron fue "por favor" Estos son días peligrosos Decir lo que sientes es cavar tu propia tumba) Parece que el tiempo haya pasado en vano, pues seguimos igual que cuando Sinéad O'Connor nos cantó con su maravillosa voz esta canción.
Rest at Peace. You spoke to us at a time we needed to hear .
RIP. Love this song
I will miss her all my life . may she rest in peace.
R.I.P. my dear. 😣😥
😢 I wished I knew what her songs meant her songs are truly timeless a prophet of or times the world is lesser to be without her rip.
A sad thing that Sinead left the world as young as she was. :( While I haven't heard all of her music, I can appreciate that she made some stunning music contributions in her time. I plan to get hold of at least one of her biography books when I next can. Hoping she is now at peace also.

I still can't believe she's gone. My 7 year old daughter walked into the kitchen and asked me why I was crying. I was like, someone died, you didn't know them . . . It was such a shock . . .
