Sinead O'Connor,90年代最有特色以及最有争议的Pop巨星,不仅仅是她的光头，愤怒的表情以及奇装异服,她坚持不懈的改变着妇女在摇滚中的传统形象，声称自己不是作为性感明星而是作为严肃的艺术家存在的，她发起的这项运动可以说影响至今。
她的传奇事迹数不胜数：
为当时四处引发骚乱的爱尔兰共和军辩护，直至与支持她的著名的U2乐团交恶，称他们的作品“夸大其词”。
曾四次拒绝了葛莱美大奖的提名。
在Saturday Night Live节目中，她曾中断表演，撕碎了教皇保罗二世的照片
因为对商业生涯和太多的名望感到日渐厌倦，Sinead O'Connor于2003年宣布退出歌坛，但这样一位伟大的爱尔兰女性是值得歌迷们永远怀念的，今天就选一首她的《her mantle so green》送给大家，也祝愿酒吧朋友新年大吉，心想事成！ Her Mantle So Green Lyrics
Artist(Band):Sinead O'Connor
As I went out walking, one morning in June
To view the fair fields, and the valleys in bloom;
I spied a pretty fair maid, she appeared like a queen,
With her costly fine robes and her mantle so green
Says I, my pretty fair maid, wont you come with me,
We’ll both join in wedlock, and married we’ll be;
I will dress you in fine linen, you’ll appear like a queen,
With your costly fine robes and your mantle so green.
Says she, now my young man, you must be excused,
For I’ll wed no man, so you must be refused;
To the green woods I will wander and shun all men’s view
For the boy I love dearly lies in farmed waterloo.
Well if you’re not married, say your lover’s name
I fought in that battle, so I might know the same.
Draw near to my garment, and there you will see
His name is embroidered on my mantle so green.
In the ribbon of her mantle, there I did behold,
His name and his surname, in letters of gold
Young William O’Riley, appeared in my view
He was my chief comrade back in farmed waterloo
And as he lay dying, I heard his last cry
“If you were here lovely Nancy I’d be willing to die”
And as I told her this story, in anguish she flew,
And the more that I told her, the paler she grew
So I smiled on my Nancy, ‘twas I broke your heart,
In your fathers garden, that day we did part
And this is the truth, and the truth I declare,
Oh here’s your love token the gold ring I wear.
