Back Where You BelongSinéad O’Connor

Released: February 20, 2012

Songwriter: Sinéad O’Connor

Producer: John Reynolds

Oh it's hard to
Be a boy
When
All the men have
Lost their joy
And they can't find the ones they left behind

Harder still to think
Of being a man
In this world of
No lessons or love
It's only war that men be thinking of

Should you stay
Or should you come down with me?
Is that the question
You are asking of me?
And do you think that you can
Take the answer?
As it turns
You have to wear life well

Come down with me
Come down
When you need me
But for now I want you
To be happy

Sometimes life does
Things to you
That will hurt you
And confuse you
But when you're look behind
You're sure to find

I am with you though I can't
Come with you
I am in you and I'm
Always part of you
And all you ever have to do
To bring me to you

Is come down with me
Come down
When you need me
But for now I want you
To be happy

So you must go back home
That's where you belong
You must go back home

You must go back home
That's where you belong

You must go back home
And I can't come along...

Sinéad O’Connor

Sinéad O'Connor (who goes by Shuhada' Sadaqat in her private life) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 80s with her album The Lion and the Cobra and achieved worldwide success with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares to You” in 1990.

O'Connor was discovered in 1985 when Nigel Grainge of Ensign Records saw her band Ton Ton Macoute perform. Although he was not fond of the band’s music, he was impressed by O'Connor’s ‘amazing voice’. Grainge had O'Connor record four songs with Karl Wallinger (World Party) and signed her to his label. O'Connor’s first single was the song “Heroine” which she co-wrote with U2’s guitarist The Edge for the film Captive.

Her debut album The Lion and the Cobra was a sensation when it was released in 1987, reaching gold record status and earning a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination. O'Connor’s debut single “Troy” charted in The Netherlands and Belgium, and “Mandinka”, released in late 1987, cracked the top 20 in the UK and top 30 in three other European countries, helping her album chart well in Europe. Spin Magazine described the album as a “remarkable, still-spine-tingling first record”.
