Midnight Oil - Profiteers

Tekst :

Look up on the ledge, there s a bomber diving on the golden street
Down below the crowd is falling, bullets under feet

Don t tell me, don t tell me, hey don t tell me
We re under the beat of a brand-new marching order
Ears to be ground there s a party planned for the new recruits
Hurricane lamps are burning, teargas fills the route, yeah

Midnight Oil - Blot

Tekst :

Welcome stranger listen in
The presumption of innocence was buried again
Carve up-selloff
Triumphalism gotta be a curse or even worse
It s inherited it s recurring, oh God

I have walked I have swum I ve hitchhiked and
I ve run do you know what I mean
I have sat with my beer in the EH drive in do you
know what I ve seen

The triumphalist and narcissist are joined ear
and hip and phone
They re worshipping their chrome
Carve up-selloff
Some people speak with chainsaw tongue,
some just golden arches smile
Some relish others suffering, some just run and hide

I have dreamed I have schemed I have made
myself clean do you know what I mean
I have sat I have strayed got caught up
and I prayed do you know what I ve seen

The story s just the same but the ending it can change
He wants to build a monument it s everlasting in cement
It s cellular recombinant he is not lite he will not die
Carve up-selloff
Gonna pick up all the pieces they re available from species

With all the goat and all the sheep and all the
human bits and pieces but he ll make you
sign the dna releases ... welcome ...
In the year of the reign of the real citizen kane,
wilkommen, the squeeze is on, it s a falling down on thou & I ...


Midnight Oil - Someone else to blame

Tekst :

Watch me sweat, watch me crawl
Stretch me on the table up against the wall

You can see for yourself
But you better not say
You re working four more hours every other day

See me suffer see me pain
Must be somone else to blame
See me suffer see me pain

There s more trouble at the dockyard
Parties shouting at the union
Short fuses on their anger
Workers in confusion

Then there s the vandals of the right
They stalk the streets at night
Got someone else to fight
got someone else to blame

You can speak for yourself
Before the moment is lost
But I don t wanna shout cos I m counting the cost
I m counting the cost

Inne utwory

Losowe utwory

Invisible ink

There comes a time when you swim or sink
So I jumped in the drink
Cause I couldn t make myself clear
Maybe I wrote in invisible ink
Oh I ve tried to think
how I could ve made it appear

But another illustration
is wasted cuz there...

Fear of the marketplace

SÜßWASSER MUSCHELDUFT
KOMM SCHON, BLEIBE
TREIB ES AN DIE LUFT
FARBEN WIE DEINE
HAB ICH NOCH NIE GESEHEN
BLEIB IN MEINER SUCHT
OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH
BLEIB NICHT STEHN
OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH
KANNST DU SEHN?

HIER IST DER HIMMEL
HIER IST DER GARTEN
HIER...

How am i different

I can t do it
I can t conceive
you re everything you re trying to make me believe
cause this show is
too well designed
too well to be held with only me in mind

And how am I different?
How am I different?
How am I...

Sentimental

I wanna be your baby
I wanna be more than I can
Could even be your lady
if you were born a man

Chorus:
Sentimental
Don t wanna say goodbye
Sentimental
I never can deny

With every moment bound to be a
magic
to satisfy my every need
Oh, what...

Satellite

Let s assume you were right
and play the game of charm and strange
and satellite
and when we ve all had our fun
deflate the stars
and put away the sun
and so we can call it a day

Cause I ll never prove that my motives were...
