Lyrics - The Emperor's New Clothes by Oconnor Sinead

it seems like 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? and 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 of 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 'cos they know they're untouchable not because what
I said was wrong whatever it may bring
I will have 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 they're own words they will be exposed they've got a severe case of the emperor's new clothes.
