The ULTIMATE loser song.
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun
No matter what you'll do
But he's a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
all the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Yes so you see what a heart wrenching account of being left alone, collecting debris from the wreckage of aruined relationship this is?
No wonder Sinead tore the pope a new one. You can't possibaly sing this song with so much feeling and not be pissed off.
Sadly, unfortunately, i'm empathazing.
Beneath the quite pathetic refferences to every day life as it exists in the absence of something that you thought you would never have to exist without, there is a poignance, a truth that rings true only to those who have suffered true loss. Its more the helplessness invoked upon ones self in order to uphold some sad facade of being above and beyond trifle matters like being dumped by the person, you were actulaly in love with. oops!
Yes its pathetic, anyone who has ever been able to relate to this song needs to get a life, grow up, open thier eyes and plunge head long into reality. But anyone who has ever been able to relate to this song deserves one hell of a hug.

DP: i'm owed one too. The story has been moved to its own site which linked from here somewhere.
Sonia: Sooner or later, yeah everyone does. Not everyone cries though. Not every one whines, thats's what makes this song special... the effortless, un abashed whining.
Ozzy: Sinead O'Connor. You need to watch her perform this on SNL... after which she went and mutilated the then pope's picture. Moving performance.
