8 good reasons

Sinead Oconnor

Don't know if I should quite sing this song
Don't know if it maybe might be wrong
But then again it maybe might be right
To tell you about the bullet and the red light
You know I'm not from this place
I'm from a different time, different space
And it's real uncomfortable
To be stuck somewhere you just don't belong

But I've got 8 good reasons to stick around
8 good reasons
Well, maybe 9 now

I had a dream one night
About a bullet and a red light
You know it felt alright
You know it actually felt quite nice

If I coulda gone
Without hurting anyone
Like a child I'd find me mum
Like a bird I woulda been flown

You know I don't much like life
I don't mind admitting that it ain't right
You know I love to make music
But my head got wrecked by the business
Everybody wants something from me
They really ever wanna just know me
I became the stranger no one sees
Cut glass off crawl upon my knees

But I've got 8 good reasons to stick around
8 good reasons
Well, maybe 9 now

I had a dream one night
About a bullet and a red light
You know it felt alright
You know it actually felt quite nice

But I've got 8 good reasons to stick around
8 good reasons
Well, maybe 9 now
