The emperor's new clothes

song by Sinead O'Conner

 

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 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

a fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen

 

A short tale about two weavers who promise an Emperor a new suit of clothes that is invisible to those who are unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent. When the Emperor parades before his subjects in his new clothes, no one dares to say that he doesn't see any suit of clothes until a child cries out, "But he isn't wearing anything at all!"
