Yet another fierce performance by Sinead OConnor, this time less than 22 years young and as honest as I have heard from anyone or in any genre. Once again she reminds me of the beautiful people in my portfolio, and expresses their struggles through her own perfectly. Troy lyrics: Ill remember it And Dublin in a rainstorm And sitting in the long grass in summer Keeping warm Ill remember it Every restless night We were so young then We thought that everything We could possibly do was right Then we moved Stolen from our very eyes And I wondered where you went to Tell me when did the light die You will rise Youll return The phoenix from the flame You will learn You will rise Youll return Being what you are There is no other Troy For you to burn And I never meant to hurt you I swear I didnt mean Those things I said I never meant to do that to you Next time Ill keep my hands to myself instead Oh, does she love you What do you want to do? Does she need you like I do? Do you love her? Is she good for you? Does she hold you like I do? Do you want me? Should I leave? I know youre always telling me That you love me Just sometimes I wonder If I should believe Oh, I love you God, I love you Id kill a dragon for you Ill die But I will rise And I will return The Phoenix from the flame I have learned I will rise And youll see me return Being what I am There is no other Troy For me to burn And you shouldve left the light on You shouldve left the light on Then I wouldnt have tried And youd never have known And I wouldnt have pulled you tighter No I wouldnt have pulled you close I wouldnt have screamed No I cant let you go And the door wasnt closed No I wouldnt have pulled you to me No I wouldnt have kissed your face You wouldnt have begged me to hold you If we hadnt been there in the first place Ah but I know you wanted me to be there oh oh Every look that you threw told me so But you shouldve left the light on You shouldve left the light on And the flames burned away But youre still spitting fire Make no difference what you say Youre still a liar Youre still a liar Youre still a lawyer The song uses the story of the ancient city of Troy as a metaphor. The lyric Being what you are, there is no other Troy for you to burn is a reference to the poem No Second Troy by William Butler Yeats (Why, what could she have done being what she is?/Was there another Troy for her to burn?).
