Sinead O'Connor - "Famine" Lyrics
OK, I want to talk about Ireland
Specifically I want to talk about the "famine"
About the fact that there never really was one
There was no "famine"
See Irish people were only allowed to eat potatoes
Meat fish vegetables
Were shipped out of the country under armed guard
To England while the Irish people starved
And then on the middle of all this
They gave us money not to teach our children Irish
And so we lost our history
And this is what I think is still hurting me
See we're like a child that's been battered
Has to drive itself out of it's head because it's frightened
But they lose contact with the memory
And this leads to massive self-destruction
alcoholism, drug adiction
All desperate attempts at running
And in it's worst form
Becomes actual killing
And if there ever is gonna be healing
There has to be remembering
And then grieving
So that there then can be forgiving
There has to be knowledge and understanding
All the lonely people
where do they all come from
An American army regulation
Says you mustn't kill more than 10% of a nation
'Cos to do so causes permanent "psychological damage"
It's not permanent but they didn't know that
Anyway during the supposed "famine"
We lost a lot more than 10% of our nation
Through deaths on land or on ships of emigration
But what finally broke us was not starvation
but it's use in the controlling of our education
School go on about "Black 47"
On and on about "The terrible famine"
But what they don't say is in truth
There really never was one
(Excuse me)
All the lonely people
(I'm sorry, excuse me)
Where do they all come from
(that I can tell you in one word)
All the lonely people
where do they all belong
So let's take a look shall we
The highest statistics of child abuse in the EEC
And we say we're a Christian country
But we've lost contact with our history
See we used to worship God as a mother
We're sufferin from post traumatic stress disorder
Look at all our old men in the pubs
Look at all our young people on drugs
We used to worship God as a mother
Now look at what we're doing to each other
We've even made killers of ourselves
The most child-like trusting people in the Universe
And this is what's wrong with us
Our history books the pareny figures lied to us
I see the Irish
As a race like a child
That got itself basned in the face
And if there ever is gonna be healing
There has to be remembering
And then grieving
So that there then can be forgiving
There has to be knowledge and understanding
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from
We stand on the brink of a great achievement
In this Ireland there is no solution
to be found to our disagreements
by shooting eachother
There is no real invader here
We are all irish in all our
different kinds of ways
We must not, now or ever in the future,
show anything to each other
exept tollerance, forbearance
and neighbourly love
because of our tradition everyone here
knows how he is and what God expects him to do.

There’s no denying she warned us years ago about the abuse and corruption in the Catholic Church. Look how we treated her. She is a beautiful singer, beautiful person.

La mejor voz !!!!!
Happy Birthday! Sinead is 53 today.
Very meaning, in her songs

For to explain...... to the world......
Не хуже поёт?)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQer7_B5On4

Good god that is magnificent!!! The way she walks off through the darkness at the end was just wow!
*REALLY BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, HUMAN, SPARK DIVINE, ARCHANGEL, SO SPECCIALL BEAUTIFUL TO INSIDE OF THIS WOMAN*
It was icredible. I'm still stunned.
Sinead how We 2 could meet? You are my Inspiration since 1990 .
Such a strong song :)
O Connor canta semelhante a um coral de anjos. Ela tem a mais bela voz que ja ouvi cantar - Parabéns Sinead pelo grande talento que Deus te deu. Eu amo você!
Glory to the Differents(People that for one reson and for birth they are differents) !!! Rest in Rock and Roll Heaven !!! Sinead !!! Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!

Pedasa de ARTISTA DE VERDAD.
Hermosa voz, una excelente artista.
The best music .
Me mata. La amooooo😌😌😌😊😊😊😘😘😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗🤗😂😂
I used to wonder why she shaved her head. Now I see it. It's a pure "minimalistic way of seeing one's own life. It let's you focus on other things, like music, instead of other-worldly things. Like a Buddhist monk.
Quel fiocchetto giallo cromo con i pallini bianchi É VOI....

Ooooooh PrincepsSSSSsss....

Amazing many year with me is my Diva From emotion Queen ♡♡
Best Ever🎈♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This woman is a gift. She is the only singer I have ever heard that touches the core every time. A true other worldy gift. Thank you for all your passion and sharing it with the world......probably to your detriment. It is still and will always be appreciated. From another passionate and able to feel too much woman.
Mi admiración a este inigualable ser, que supo denunciar a tiempo los pedradas dentro de la pantomima de utilizar al Maestro Jesus. Gracias al verdadero Dios que la resurgió de las cenizas donde la quisieron sepultar. Muchas bendiciones de lo Alto Para ti y los tuyos..!💐💝💐
Мир убивает красоту .
Y bueno ,
querida,estimada
hay que seguir viviendo ,
dando vida.
Si buena mejor.
Y sin querer abundar:
Porque entonces mejor explote todo lo que el ser humano ha creado.
Y ojalá ganen la vida las cucarachas como se nos suele decir.
Yo he aportado escaso,poco,
creo, entiendo, para el reino de las cucarachas ya que en cuanto veo una la aplasto sin más.
Bien cruel me siento.
Pero así las cosas.
I am addict to listening to Sinnead. I sleep on her voice everyday. Love her
Sinto tão diferente
Deus conceda-me serenidade para aceitar
As coisas que não posso mudar
Coragem para mudar as coisas que posso
E a sabedoria para saber a diferença
Eu não sou como eu era antes
Eu pensei que nada fosse me mudar
Eu não estava ouvindo mais
Ainda sim você continuou a me afetar
Eu não estava pensando mais
Embora eu disse que ainda estava
Eu disse: "não quero mais"
Por causa de uma experiência ruim
Mas agora me sinto tão diferente
Me sinto tão diferente
Me sinto tão diferente
Eu não vi liberdade antes
E não esperava vê-la
Não me deixe esquecer que agora estou aqui
Ajude-me a ajudá-lo a se enxergar
Comecei com muitos amigos
E passamos muito tempo falando
Eu pensei que eles sabiam cada palavra que diziam
Mas como todos os outros eles estavam protelando
E agora eles parecem tão diferentes
Parecem tão diferentes
Parecem tão diferentes
Eu deveria ter ódio de você
Mas eu não tenho nenhum
Eu sempre te amei
Oh, você me ensinou muito
O tempo todo eu nunca tinha visto
Tudo que você tinha espalhado antes de mim
O tempo todo eu nunca tinha visto
Tudo que precisei estava dentro de mim
Agora eu me sinto tão diferente
Me sinto tão diferente
Me sinto tão diferente
Me sinto tão diferente
Me sinto tão diferente
What a masterpiece! <3
me gusto tal como soy, no lo olvides... tú dime...te espero!?
thank you sinead!
Uuuu...
Eine Stimme die man nicht vergisst.
C'est de la musique qui sort du cœur
great song deep lyrics.
She is a legend, and this song was one of her best! You can tell she was using everything she had to present this song on stage. Her voice touches my soul! I hope you can find the true happiness in her life. She is so talented who deserves more love and care.
WOW ... every time she sings it sends shivers down my spine and electricity shoots through the hairs on my body. So talented.
Fuiste la mejor
The voice of an angel. Sinéad will always be the best.
"Senhor, conceda-me a serenidade necessária para aceitar as coisas que não posso modificar, coragem para modificar as que posso, e sabedoria para distinguir uma das outras" ........
She Suckes Saudi DICKs these days as SALVE. She will die by murder.
