O'Connor, Sinead - I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got Lyrics






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 have bread and I have wine
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 and 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

O'Connor, Sinead I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got Comments
  1. F.... v....

    I've always loved this album. So pure and heartfelt. It is right in every way.

  2. 1.... s....

    Fantástica. Love Sinead

  3. R.... C....

    One of the greatest Artists of all time.

  4. m.... ....

    song number 2 sounds like a trip hop's predecessor

  5. A.... S....

    thanks for loading this up on here I had forgotten this album which I used to have,

  6. J.... ....

    Always thought this girl was an underrated genius to the bone

  7. M.... Z....

    I have spent 40 years telling people that "I wasn't very religious"..... I guess I can say to the world that I do not follow any organized religion.... I am infinitely spiritual, and believe in God. That's good enough for me.

    M.... Z....

    What does that have to do with commenting on Sinead Oconnor? I guess you think the pope is religious and his minions are not pedophiles! The pope preys and so does his disciples, praying is an afterthought! FUCK YOU!

  8. E.... Y....

    she is a muslim now!

    E.... Y....

    That was like 4 months ago. You know she ripped photos of the Pope on Saturday Night Live, live! when I was a younger lover of music and watched it on my neighbor's Sony Trinitron. Only rich folk had Sony Trinitrons:) I am not Catholic, and was fairly agnostic when I watched it. Now, when I see it, it is beyond disturbing. Imagine a guest artist setting the Koran on fire live on SNL. This was on live TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dKdBlKgquw

    Still the greatest ever album. This album saved my life.

    S.... S....

    Same here!

    S.... S....

    I became a admirer of her when I was given this album as a gift. Her voice, her pain and passion helped me cope with my teen angst and cope with the aftermath of early childhood abuse. Memories of popping her CD in my Walkman and singing at the top of my lungs while I tuned the world out still gets me choked up.

    I Love you Sinead o'connor is very

  15. r.... a....

    gillian metcalf

  16. j.... s....

    sinead and Phil collins should do an album together

  17. Q.... B....

    I always listened to Sinead when I was a little girl, and never understood her voice or songs, but now that I'm going to be 15 in one week, it's like: Oh now I get this! Lol I still love her so much!

  18. J.... ....

    I love it when an album becomes better over time. Sinead is cutting edge - no wonder a lot of people didn't get her earlier on!

    J.... ....

    I heard it when it came out and liked it even though I was in jail. Young and dumb,now much wiser! An absolute champ she is,that's all I have to say!

  19. C.... G....

    I wanna love, what my god had told me to do

  20. C.... G....

    Hope you're well angel

  21. C.... G....

    The royal family changes.... not their policy

  22. C.... G....

    Let's breed out the English....thanks for your integrity....still a beauty Gaelic gal...love you

    C.... G....

    What are you going to do though? When you run out of sites for your caravans and scrap metal yards? Nobody left to rob, other than your own. Nobody left to blame your life on either.

    C.... G....

    FEMADEATHCAMPCONTROL I'll love

    C.... G....

    FEMADEATHCAMPCONTROL be aware I can hit you running, my Lord tells me to embrace you, do you feel the same?

    C.... G....

    No, actually I dont want to sell you my dog Christopher. Or the washing machine. So get out of my garden.

  23. g.... s....

    Grew up to all this. Just love her music. So powerful

  24. m.... r....

    what the most people don´t know, sinead she lived that greatfull dammed f******* Life wonderfull Voice ,,, god dream in that Humans and may he sleep in all the other ones,,let us be awaked PLS

  25. C.... E....

    Bath 1990. Thank you.

  26. m.... ....

    otwarta główka ...piękne!

  27. E.... P....

    "These are dangerous days; to say what you feel is to make your own grave."

    E.... P....

    one more drink before the war.

  28. I.... M....

    Oh, and btw, if you disagreed with what she did to the pope's picture - fuck you!  Fuck the pope.  Fuck the Catholic Church.  Watch the 2005 documentary "Deliver Us From Evil."  Watch the movie "Philomena."  Read the headlines.  Educate yourselves!!!  Catholicism is an evil, destructive force in this world.  It has been from the beginning.

    I.... M....

    And don't come at me with "all religion is evil."  I might not necessarily argue with that, but Sinead didn't rip up Martin Luther's picture.  Sinead didn't rip up Mohammed's picture (and HEAVEN FORBID such a picture should even exist!).

  29. U.... H....

    A great courageous woman beautiful like our isle but we are strong and not death scares us she stood up more than many people and she is still my crush from rebel song omg she's beautiful long live humans and the place where we live faugha ballagh

  30. A.... G....

    Epic!!!!!!!

  31. C.... S....

    This album cradles my soul.

    C.... S....

    Nicely put.

  32. A.... C....

    I love you and you deserve an apology...............................

  33. A.... M....

    Men Yo quiero tener las biografias de ella. Como podrias mandarmela o donde la bajo porque por aqui no encuentro un programa para bajarla. Tengo como 4 biografias de ellas en album para bajar.

  34. b.... ....

    Damn, this is beautiful!!!

  35. V.... T....

    Ads in the middle of a song is a buzzkill

  36. M.... T....

    I forgot How much i used to Love this Album!!

    M.... T....

    And still do

    M.... T....

    I didn't.

    M.... T....

    That's why there are all kinds of music from which to choose. There's no one "good" kind of music! I love this album, always have. <3

  37. A.... W....

    Very nice album! 💙 🖤

  38. R.... R....

    Toute ma jeunesse !!!

  39. R.... O....

    One of my favourite albums! Formidable brilliance!

  40. v.... ....

    anyone know the bpm on the last song ( I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got )?

  41. A.... L....

    Sinead is the loving crusader of the last 30 years-for human harmony/planetary harmony/musical eccentricity/egalitarianism-and all radiated from the most beautiful lips/eyes in the known universe...xxx

    A.... L....

    She can sing and this IS a good album. But engage your brain before you speak about her.. She's a TWAT.

    A.... L....

    @BigTez40 - She's struggled with emotional/mental health issues for her entire life. Maybe you should think first.

    A.... L....

    @BigTez40 You should take your own advice! You are judging someone who has poured their soul out publicly,try it and see if you can take the hate from all the cowards out there just like you! I do snap Limbs....I'll do you for free just for your ignorance!

  42. L.... 8....

    She is so beautiful 💙

  43. R.... C....

    such a gorgeous voice with that Irish lilt, throwback for me but man I loved this album. she's a brilliant artist. agree with others, unfortunate she had poor management and insufficient mental help back then.

    R.... C....

    Well said.

    R.... C....

    sad but true

    R.... C....

    Ahhh Yes, The signature, lilting inflection of the Celtic languages...

    R.... C....

    Childhood abuse causes life long trauma.

  44. A.... F....

    The publicity ruins the music.

  45. A.... T....

    Sing it mama !
    I get crazy goosebumps everytime she opens her beautiful mouth. 🍀👊

  46. H.... L....

    Builds to the end

    s.... C....

    shawn Cheney not just gen-xers.

  50. s.... C....

    Playes this cassette in 89. 19 yrs old. used to be"crank it up and rip off the knob." Now its "slide your finger and its never loud enough." lol.

    s.... C....

    :-) Thanks you you made me smile. I bought it on record when it came out. Maybe you need a new stereo, get some good speakers. :-)

    s.... C....

    You just sayd it right..thank you

  51. C.... M....

    I love Sinead O'connor...i love ireland. And fuck all people that critisc , speack, all people that feels know everythings this world life.... In effect.thei dont' know nothing....nobodyelse than their ignorance , avidity and egoism.. fuck all of you!

  52. F.... K....

    The soundtrack of every break up-every make up and the rest lost in between 🖤🤘🏻

    F.... K....

    I don't know about "every", and I get you meant it poetically/figuratively, but for me it was quite literal in a very large way during my winter of '90. This album made me cry and I played it incessantly. Wallowing, but loving the beauty of Ms. Davitt's (nee O'Connor) highly expressive voice. 💔😭💨

  53. W.... M....

    another great artist, victim of the great media beast which leaves shit trails of the shitty music nowadays.

  54. s.... b....

    I love sinead oconnor, this album is great, glad i remembered, i use to have this cd

    s.... b....

    and I use to have the cassette

    s.... b....

    @MFC1791 I had the great big record.

  55. d.... j....

    This was 90 not 89? Still classic album though sinead's the best end of!but in my opinion she needed a better manager and support at this time in her life💚🌈🙏

    d.... j....

    yes what ever happened to her

    d.... j....

    Yes, I was in London in Feb 1990-out dancing in a club and the last song of the night they said, "since it is after midnight we can play this new song by Sinead O'connor." and announced the album would be out for purchase in the stores that day. And they played "Nothing Compares 2 U". I left in the morning for Athens, Greece, and bought a copy that same day. I backpacked through Europe for ten months with only a couple of cassettes so I played this album hundreds of times on those long train trips. It is a brilliant album. Few albums can hold up to so many listenings!

  56. P.... T....

    epic album!

    P.... T....

    Nothing compare this
