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 and guess what he told me, guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun no matter what you 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

| ziakut (Slightly North of Obvlivion) | Posted: Dec 16, 2012 - 18:45 I think I would really enjoy a version of this on acoustic guitar with light reverb...and maybe a Neko Case singing it. I would really LOVE that! Let me also add the part about it happening in my room. Ok, ok...then the alarm sounds and I wake up. |

Like cheesecake, enough becomes too much very quickly. I feel the same way about this one. I hated it when it was a hit, though this was probably in part due to hearing drunk teenage girls sing along to it very badly every night. |

| andigenu (Black Sea) | Posted: May 10, 2012 - 03:40 "I went to the doctor, guess what he told me, 'Girl you gotta try to have fun...' But he's a fool!" Nothing compares to the mood induced by this song. |
| RoelantSiekman (Rotterdam, The Netherlands) | Posted: May 10, 2012 - 03:35 Two outstanding songs (this one and Troy), a picture torn and never heard from her again.. (no hits anyway) |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Apr 08, 2012 - 09:50 Nice tune, if you like the lachrymose lonely-and-broken heart stuff. I oughta know; this one reminds me of the girl I probably could have married, and then we dumped one another. That's life, that's what all the people say. |
| jen3005545 (Fort Worth, TX) | Posted: Mar 07, 2012 - 17:37 Still the best music video of that time. Beautiful! |
| Limpopoking (The Parish of St. Alfonzo) | Posted: Jan 04, 2012 - 06:14 My ex had this when we got married... seemed nice at the time. But yeah, "prat" is a reasonable description of this lady. I guess it's also a reasonable description of me when I proposed to Matilda the Hun. |

| zitherica | Posted: Jan 04, 2012 - 06:11 her version is like a million times better than the original! |
| Quixmundi (on the banks of Eagle Creek, Indiana) | Posted: Nov 01, 2011 - 21:13 Predictable, monotonous blah. Over recorded to mask her inability to hit a note. And she's a prat |

I'm Irish, and Dannyboy is correct. We are the most resilient, toughest people. Our culture has been through much heart ache, sorrow... and yet we continue on with growth and pride! Be proud of who you are and where you come from, no matter if it be German, Russian, black, white or purple. Stand up for yourself and show respect to history." samohickey

| Businessgypsy (Deepest, Darkest Florida) | Posted: May 28, 2011 - 07:05 I get a lesson every time I hear her and read the comments associated. I find her voice forced and thin, her writing shrill and harsh - but that she moves and enthralls others in undeniable. A very good ego removal exercise, that. I'm listening. |

I jumped on to say the same thing. I have so many memories and so much emotion attached to this song. Sinead can do no wrong in my book. Everything she touches is beautiful. |
| Photo-John (Nor Cal to SLC) | Posted: Apr 26, 2011 - 17:39 drife wrote: Great song. Too bad she turned out to be such a prat. Disagree. On what are you basing this opinion? She's got more balls than most people. She put her career on the line for her beliefs and took a a lot of abuse for it. I don't think most of us would be willing to do what she did. Whether or not you agree with her politics, she's a badass. And her voice is magic. |

| ssg (an uncool and disliked spot in the world) | Posted: Nov 20, 2010 - 08:02 Not her best though. I suggest you to listen to her "Chiquitita" and "House of The Rising Sun" covers. |

I love her voice and her conviction. And now I'll probably always listen to her with the vision of a stinging lizard (IS there even such a thing? I'm thinking not, but I live in Nevada where all our lizards just run and eat bugs...), but it only makes me love her music more. Shutting up now. |
| amusicfan (UK) | Posted: Sep 17, 2010 - 22:57 I love this song... maybe it has something to do with being linked to a past (maybe even still future?) gf..... |

| kurtster (Area code 216) | Posted: Jun 14, 2010 - 03:13 Never cared for this song all that much, especially because of the political flak associated with Sinead at the time this came out. But with the passage of time and hearing this after George ... well it works. |

Was going to send a request, but why bother when ESP seems to work... Memories of teenage angst over boys... and the end of the 80s/beginning of the 90s - has it really been 20 years?? |
