The 1990 album by Sinéad O'Connor, "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got", featured a track called "Black Boys on Mopeds". Although the lyrics do not mention Colin Roach directly, the entire album is essentially dedicated to his family, and contains a photograph on the inner sleeve of his sad-faced parents standing in the rain in front of a poster of their son. Below the image is the inscription: "God's place is the world; but the world is not God's place." Alternative metal band Chevelle also covered O'Connor's song.
