Savage Earth Heart/satifaction Lyrics - Sinead Oconnor

(Waterboys/ Jagger-Richards) 

Live version recorded on 11 April 1986, Sinead was doing the backing 

vocals on this song which included a piece of satisfaction from 

the Rolling Stones. 

Ooh! 

...Let me see the savage 

I want to see the savage 

Coming crashing through your face 

I want to be there 

When the savage comes 

I want to be there 

When the savage comes 

When your savage earth heart 

Cuts through 

I wan be a witness 

Send you respect into your ear that I'll be back 

Trust in the shadows 

I want to be there 

When the savage comes 

I want to be there 

When the savage comes 

When your savage earth heart 

Cuts through! 

Will you lay all of your deepest wildest secrets bare? 

Will you let all of those rumbling old gods take rage? 

I want to be there 

When the savage comes 

I want to be there 

When the savage comes 

When your savage earth heart 

Cuts through! 

Then I was taken smoothly by the vulture of the soul 

That hideous strength 

That numbs my tongue 

And he led me like a born sinner 

Through the fields of hell 

To doubt my friends and to hate myself 

But when the savage earth heart 

...Cuts through 

When my savage earth heart 

...Cuts through 

Then my savage earth heart 

...Cuts through! 

And the culture of the soul laid waste. 

The hate, the hate, the hate, the hate, the hate 

I can't get any satisfaction 

I can't get any satisfaction 

When I'm driving in my car 

And a man comes on the radio 

He's telling me more and more 

About some useless information 

Supposed to drive my imagination 

But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke 

Six cigarettes, six cigarettes 

Six cigarettes, six cigarettes 

I can't get no 

I can't get any satisfaction 

I can't get any satisfaction 

When I'm driving around the world 

And I'm trying to please some girl 

Saying baby baby come back 

Maybe next week 

'Cause you see I'm on a losers street 

I can't get no 

I can't get any satisfaction 

No satisfaction 

No satisfaction 

No satisfaction
