Saboteur
In and out of shady places ---
Walking on cold corners of the maze.
Following the trace you leave unwittingly.
I wanna be no saboteur.
Oh, no, me no saboteur.
Painted ducks across your landscape ---
Happy in your domesticity (it dont come free).
Misfortune, like a sparrow hawk, hangs over you.
Wanna be no saboteur.
No, no, me no saboteur.
Deepest regrets I humbly offer you
As I cut into your life.
With clean precision, all is simplified ---
Pass the hat and pass the knife.
By now you must be worried, wondering
Who is me and what lies behind my art.
Im only removing broken sea-shells from the beach ---
Oh, no, me no saboteur.
Theres at least one of me inside your ranks
In your factory or school.
I anticipate a cleansing opportunity
To take the horns by the bull.
History forever writing
Pages to be cut or painted grey,
Or celebrated like jesus in his
Temple rage
As he chased the money-men away.
I wanna be no saboteur.
Be no, be no saboteur.

Related quotes
You see I'm against hunting, in fact I'm a hunt saboteur. I go out the night before and shoot the fox.
Much A Melancholy Man
Made a melancholy man
By years of self abuse
By years of regrets
Drunken nights nursing
Missed opportunities
Nights placing the blame
At the feet of others
To starve the admission
Of ones own failings
Haunted now by knowledge
And a gloomy realisation
That sadness wears well
And seems to suit the day
And somehow without trying
Things fall apart with ease
A self saboteur to speak
Accidentally achieving
All that can be described as
A melancholy life

Echo
He refused to yield,
and the stars were burning hot.
Night was foggy, and the moon was hiding.
His white, shriveled hands
held the center of gravity.
Obsessively he anchored himself
in the muddled egos and bleeding knives.
Somebody was shouting that the legend
was a big fake.
The pardon will not work. Death was
still sleeping. They were searching
the saboteur when the sun went down.
Winds were in coma.
The ink rolled back from the warrant.
Two faces of pain, right and wrong,
fear and agony, all were him.
He had nothing to hide, nothing to declare.
Walked away in the high tide
in raining abuses, in hurting slogans,
and found his past, buried deep
in the ravines, where only the echo comes back.

Children the causalities of war
There aint no bounty hunter
There aint no gangster gunner
This aint no mafia slaughter
This aint no alien saboteur
Scattered are causalities of war
Splattered is red blood with flaws
All over children are dying
O! What an eyesore!
Moreover who is high-flying and who is lying?
Moreover who is why-crying and who is trying?
Boom bang, boom bang
Within the noise their voices drown
Minutes ago these children sang
War has painted another ghost town
They refuse to obey
When mum and dad says
‘Don’t go out to play’
For today is just another day
When no one can foretell
Who's destined next to visit hell!
These are the deeds of partial exploitation
Fed by seedy weeds of human imagination
One side is trial by terror
Others abide with trial by error
For with reference to the violence
This human calamity speaks no sense
Broken bones and limbs lie on dusty floors
Battered offspring bodies are exposing raw
All over children are dying
O! What an eyesore!
Moreover who is high-flying and who is lying?
Moreover who is why-crying and who is trying?
Children the causalities of war
O! What an eyesore!
With so many downgrading civilisation
Each side is guilty, just guilty differently
I have now come to that realisation

Otis Redding
Do you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy?
Do you remember? do you remember?
Do you remember when we were lucky?
We were livin the life almost every night
I would wrap you in my thin white arms
Sit and watch the stars glide
Yeah, do you remember when we were the losers?
Do you remember when we were the lame?
Do you remember when we were the lepers?
Do you remember? do you remember?
Do you remember when we were strung out?
Eatin top ramen, macaroni and cheese
We would get so lost in that basement room
Let the otis redding sing us to sleep
I wish I had one more life
I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I dont wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be blind
I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I dont wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be (blind)
I dont wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be (blind)
I dont wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be blind
I wish I could be like all my heroes
I wish I could be like all yours too
I wish I could sing like otis redding
I wish I could play this guitar in tune
Do you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy in a way
No one outside could ever know?
I wish I had one more life
How I wish I had one more life to live
I dont wanna be wasted
I dont wanna live inside of this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I dont wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be (blind)
I dont wanna be wasted
No, I dont wanna live inside of this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I dont wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be
I dont wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be
I dont wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be blind
No, I dont want to be blind
No, I dont want to be blind

Paint It
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they are painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and its heading into black
Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts
Its not easy facing up when your whole world is black
I wanna see it painted painted, painted black, oh baby
I wanna see it painted painted, painted black, oh baby
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I wanna see it painted, painted black, oh
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted from the sky
Painted, painted, painted black oh baby
Painted painted, painted black

Do Right To Me Baby
Dont wanna judge nobody, dont wanna be judged,
Dont wanna touch nobody, dont wanna be touched.
Dont wanna hurt nobody, dont wanna be hurt,
Dont wanna treat nobody like they was dirt.
But if you do right to me, baby,
Ill do right to you, too.
Ya got to do unto others
Like youd have them, like youd have them, do unto you.
Dont wanna shoot nobody, dont wanna be shot,
Dont wanna buy nobody, dont wanna be bought.
Dont wanna bury nobody, dont wanna be buried,
Dont wanna marry nobody if theyre already married.
But if you do right to me, baby,
Ill do right to you, too.
Ya got to do unto others
Like youd have them, like youd have them, do unto you.
Dont wanna burn nobody, dont wanna be burned,
Dont wanna learn from nobody what I gotta unlearn.
Dont wanna cheat nobody, dont wanna be cheated,
Dont wanna defeat nobody if they already been defeated.
But if you do right to me, baby,
Ill do right to you, too.
Ya got to do unto others
Like youd have them, like youd have them, do unto you.
Dont wanna wink at nobody, dont wanna be winked at,
Dont wanna be used by nobody for a doormat.
Dont wanna confuse nobody, dont wanna be confused,
Dont wanna amuse nobody, dont wanna be amused.
But if you do right to me, baby,
Ill do right to you, too.
Ya got to do unto others
Like youd have them, like youd have them, do unto you.
Dont wanna betray nobody, dont wanna be betrayed,
Dont wanna play with nobody, dont wanna be waylaid.
Dont wanna miss nobody, dont wanna be missed,
Dont put my faith in nobody, not even a scientist.
But if you do right to me, baby,
Ill do right to you, too.
Ya got to do unto others
Like youd have them, like youd have them, do unto you.

Leave me
Lying here
Cause I dont wanna go
Leave me
Lying here
Cause I dont wanna go
Leave me
Lying here
Cause I dont wanna go
Tell me, tell me what you really want from me
You gotta let me know
Im falling off and I need you terribly
One down, and one to go
Volcano girls we really cant be beat
Warm us up and watch us blow
Now and then we fail and we admit defeat
Were falling off
We are watered down and fully grown
Leave me
Lying here
Cause I dont wanna go
Leave me
Lying here
Cause I dont wanna go
A million miles of running
And I hit the wall
I bounce back and I run some more
This is it, Im giving up
Im calling quits
So get down and meet me on the floor
Way to go, way to flip off everyone
I steal your thunder then I try to bolt
But I could stand a little pity now and then
Im falling off, I am watered down and fully grown
Go, I dont wanna go
I dont wanna go
I dont wanna go
I dont wanna go
I told you about the seether before
You know, the one thats neither or nor
Well heres another clue if you please
The seethers louise

Leave me
Lying here
Cause I dont wanna go
Leave me
Lying here
Cause I dont wanna go
Leave me
Lying here
Cause I dont wanna go
Leave me, leave me, leave me
Go, I dont wanna go

Nobody Sees Me Like You Do
I see your face looking into the space,
All tired and worried.
Why does it have to be like this, you and i,
I wanted us to be happy.
No one can see me like you do.
No one can se you like I do.
I see your face with a trace of life,
Being a wife and a woman.
If I ever hurt you, please, remember,
I wanted you to be happy.
Is there anything I want more,
More than your trust and understanding?
No one can see me like you do.
No one can se you like I do.
I wanna quit moving,
I wanna quit running,
I wanna relax and be tender.
I wanna see us together again,
Rocking away in our walnut chairs.
Even with your warmth and closeness,
The feeling of loneliness hangs over like a curse.
No one can see me like you do.
No one can se you like I do.
Even with our dreams and yearnings,
The feeling of loneliness hangs over like a thirst.
No one can see me like you do.
No one can se you like I do.
No one can see me like you do.
No one can se you like I do.

Dont wanna move or get out of bed
That rock n rolls going straight through my head
They say Im stupid, I really dont care
Whatever they say, well I say thats fair
All I wanna do is rock n roll
All I wanna do is rock and rock some more
Wanna rock, wanna rock
Wanna rock, wanna rock
Dont waste my money driving round in a car
Save my money for electric guitars
Disco musics just a social disease
If it dont rock me, then it aint gonna please me
All I wanna do is rock n roll
All I wanna do is rock and rock some more
Wanna rock, wanna rock
Wanna rock, wanna rock, wanna rock
Turn up the music, lets have a good time
Dont pull no punches, lay it right on the line
New wave, old wave, third wave will do
It dont matter when Im dancing with you
All I wanna do is rock n roll
All I wanna do is rock and rock some more
Wanna rock, wanna rock

Hippy
I don't wanna be what you wanna be
I just wanna be what's right for me
I don't wanna see who you wanna see
Because your friends are no good for me
You say that love's an open door
I see you walking out but I hear you taking more
Now you wanna kick it cause you dropped on the floor
I don't wanna go where you wanna go
Cause when you go you move too slow
I just wanna see what I wanna be
And now it seems that I wanna be free
I'm hearing what you're saying
But I don't know what you're doing
And I need some things explaining
Cause you're evil and you're using
This giving and mistaking
This reality that you're faking
Can't you justify the feeling
And the pain that you're making

All I Need
Drop the beat
Too much gone of the day
Yeah you were on your way
Said there was nothing I could say
And I got the drop on you
I see what you do
Just wanna see you run me through
And I dont wanna let you leave
Dont wanna believe that you lied and tried to deceive
Not gonna be alright
Without you
You are all I need!
If youre leaving, take me with you
I dont wanna start something new
Lifes a maze and Im lost without you
I dont wanna take another drink
I dont wanna think
I just wanna watch you sleep with me
Tell me are you free now that you got yourself far away from me
And I feel like Im ? ? ?
Youre pulling me down when you ? ? ?
And I cant touch the ground
Im not gonna be alright
Without you
You are all I need!
If youre leaving, take me with you
I dont wanna start something new
Lifes a maze and Im lost without you
I never saw the day
Take a look back and one day you will see
You are the one that was meant for me
And all the bad seems to fade with time, well its all in your mind
Why dont you lay your face down on the floor
I wont be around anymore
I wont do that I wont do that
You watch out
You are all I need!
If youre leaving, take me with you
I dont wanna start something new
Lifes a maze and Im lost without you

Sending it all right back
Waiting for heart attacks
Watching the days collide
Changing with the weather
Trying to keep it clear
Slither on broken tears
Searching for ways to cure
Who can make it better?

You could never keep me down
I wanna lift myself up to the sky
Serenade the stars as I pass by
I wanna leave it all, just for a while

I wanna lift myself above the clouds
Cut the ropes around me, you'll see me shine
Shine like the sun

Inside Out (feat. Don Henley)
The biggest lie you ever told
Your deepest fear about growing old
The loneliest night you ever spent
The angriest letter you never sent
The girl you swore you'd never leave
The one you kissed on New Year's Eve
The sweetest dream you had last night
Your darkest hour, your hardest fight
I wanna know you, like I know myself
I'm waiting for you, there ain't no one else
I wanna know you, inside out
Chorus:
I wanna dig down deep, I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know you're mine
You know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out
The saddest song you ever heard
The most you said with just one word
The longest prayer you ever prayed
The truest vow you ever made
What makes you laugh, what makes you cry
What makes you mad, what gets you by
Your highest high, your lowest low
There are the things I wanna know
Chorus:
I wanna dig down deep, I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know you're mind
You know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna know your soul, I wanna lose control
Come on and let it out
I wanna know you inside out
Chorus:
I wanna dig down deep, I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know you're mine
You know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out

Swim
could not believe
came here today
helmet was on
you blew me away
house is on fire
we're naked again
maybe all we need
is water and friends
shackles and chains
won't keep me away
temple is you
and my brow is insane
I wanna be just like you
I wanna feel right through you
I wanna see just with you
I wanna live
I wanna die you
thinning ice
14 hairdryers
swimming to you
flame on earth desire
poor on the rise
rich on the fall
this cripple's with you
fame is a whore
I wanna fit inside you
I wanna room inside you
if money talks I wanna buy you
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna live you
I'm not scared of you
gave up on drugs
if I make it through
the jaws of love
jaws of love
you give
