One of the most romantic songs…

…I've never heard this 'This Is A Rebel Song by Sinead O'Connor.
Some might argue that it's also one of the most shamelessly sentimental, but that's not true. In reality, this is truly a rebellious and courageous song because, at the time when Ulster was in flames, a love between an Irish girl and an English soldier was something you couldn't talk about.

I love you my hard englishman
Your rage is like a fist in my womb
Can’t you forgive what you think I’ve done
And love me, I’m your woman

And I desire you my hard englishman
And there is no more natural thing
So why should I not get loving
Don’t be cold englishman

how come you never said you love me
in all the time you’ve known me
how come you never say you’re sorry

i do

Oh please talk to me englishman
What good will shutting me out get done
Meanwhile crazies are killing our sons
Oh listen, englishman

I’ve honored you hard englishman
Now I am calling your heart to my own
Oh let glorious love be done
Be truthful englishman
