Joss Stone - Black Boys On Mopeds (With Lyrics)

La increíble voz de Joss para la versión del tema de Sinead O' Connor. (Les agrego la letra... Es muy fuerte)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margareth Thatcher on TV
Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing
It seems strange that she should be offended
The same orders are given by her

I've said this before now
You said I was childish and you'll say it now
'Remember what I told you
If they hated me they will hate you'

England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
I don't want him to be aware that there's
Any such thing as grieving

Young mother down at Smithfield
5 am, looking for food for her kids
In her arms she holds three cold babies
And the first word that they learned was 'please'

These are dangerous days
To say what you feel is to dig your own grave
'Remember what I told you
If you were of the world they would love you'

England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
It's the home of police who kill blacks boys on mopeds
And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
I don't want him to be aware that there's
Any such thing as grieving

Sorry not even close to Sinead. The emotions aren't there-too much thought process in her voice.

[RedakCinik]

u cant compere this with original

[betadazeahed]

Joss Stone may have a nice R&B voice, but it is a poor match for this song. Sinead's tone and delivery on the recorded version is perfect and conveys all the emotion that Joss cannot in her live version.

[jonzbeach]

She does a great job...but I hope she is not too young to know what this song is really about

[IsaEndo1]

i don't know the original song, but her voice is pure gold!

[MrFoolishgames83]

Nice cover, but far from Sinead's version, it needs less voice preparation and more emotion, it losses sinead's magic.

[cdudeNYR]

@RedakCinik no. Chevelle's cover of this is far and away the best version, no disrespect to Sinead. He wrote an incredible song... Pete Loeffler (Chevelle) just outsang him.

[Kaibrigh]

Cool.But Sinéad makes it better.I love you Sinead ♥

[nemo528]

for some reason i cant find any other clips of the show that this was on anywhere on the internet... can anyone else find any or have any idea why not

Sinead O'Connor is such an amazing songwriter. I love that Joss chose to cover this.
