Reason With MeSinéad O’Connor

Released: February 20, 2012

Songwriter: Sinéad O’Connor

Producer: John Reynolds

Hello, you don't know me
But I stole your laptop and I took your TV
I sold your Granny's rosary for 50p
And I even pulled an old hijack
Said I had a hypodermic in me backpack
But I was only bluffing

Oh, so long I've been a junkie
I ought to wrap it up and mind my monkeys
I really want to mend my ways;
I'm gonna call that number one of these days
It's not too late

I'm the one who sits in the bathroom
I'm the one who doesn't know how to have fun
I'm the one to smoke a mist all around me
Cause I don't like no one around me
Cause if I love someone, I might lose someone
Cause if I love someone, I might lose someone

Oh, so long I've been a junkie
I ought to wrap it up and mind my monkeys
I really want to mend my ways;
I'm gonna call that number one of these days
I'm gonna reach a hand out to you
Say "Would you pull me up?" Now could you?
I don't want to waste the life God gave me
And I don't think that it's too late to save me

Reason with me
Let's reason together
Reason with me
Let's reason together

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”.
