be still robin guthrie remix

Sinead Oconnor

Children be still,

Lace curtains drawn,
for self respect
ripped down and torn
Now the neighbours will never forget
don t let them forget

Time get hard then get harder still
I will be still

crack in the pain
the gap between
those who remain
those who have been
I m cracked, I m scratched
Bloody but one thing
one thing stays the same

Time get hard then get harder still
I will be still
Time get hard then get harder still
I will be still

Children be still
children be still

Birthday present
from the rag & bone shop
a heart that works to well
a heart that won t stop
beating
but sometimes I wish it would stop

Time get hard then get harder still
I will be still
Time get hard then get harder still
I will be still
Time get hard then get harder still
I will be still
Time get hard then get harder still
I will be still

Children be still
children be still
children be still
