Midnight Oil Lyrics


Many bands would make a great noise about passing a
momentous milestone like their 20th Anniversary. There'd be
TV specials, special video compilations, 3 CD boxed sets,
brass plaques, tickertape parades, free concerts in the
park, that kind of thing. But Midnight Oil -- the band that
has made a career out of making noise about so many
important things and has so much to show for 20 incredible
years -- chose to let the occasion pass without particular
fanfare.

So, if Midnight Oil are the reluctant birthday boys, let us
now be the More...

Review about Midnight Oil songs
The real revolution is human kindness | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Beds are Burning performed by Midnight Oil

The people who took from the aborigines are the same types of people who take pleasure in calling others idiots, satan, unpatriotic, ignorant - whatever. The point of the song is that we all need to feel the consequences of our actions. This does not mean someone else out in the world needs you to tell them how bad or ignorant they are. It means I, you and everybody needs to look inside and see what actions and words we produce without thinking about how they affect others.

religious ignorance | Reviewer: b
    ------ About the song Beds are Burning performed by Midnight Oil

God would not think this song is awesome, as the "give it back" would apply at least as much to culture as land, which would mean give back the dreamtime, and that is anti god. The "satan" that did the stealing was christianity, restoration would be the removal of christianity.

    ------ About the song The Dead Heart performed by Midnight Oil

Here's a song that makes you excited and happy because of the arrangement and melody, and also nearly causes you to burst into tears because of the lyrics,at the same time!
This is a fine piece of work. I'd like to write a few of these.

Here we got a Concept Launcher. | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Beds are Burning performed by Midnight Oil

Couple the concept of this lyric up with that of Mr. Bruce Cockburn's "If I Had a Rocket Launcher" and it becomes globally universal. Time fr the excploiters to make right, make nice, pipe down and lay off. WE and OURS have been fed to THEIR BABIES for far too long already, I say.

Increase the Peace.
Reverse the Curse.
Reject ALL Terror.

Obviously The Temperature would be in Degrees Celsius. Why would an Australian band, who's writing about Australian history, use degrees Fahrenheit. Anyone who says that it is more then likely Celsius are idiots. It people like you and your stupid country who don't know anything

fire | Reviewer: Tony
    ------ About the song Beds are Burning performed by Midnight Oil

the song is about returning stolen lands in Australia to the aboriginies. 45 dgrees is indeed in celcius and is the temp of the desert at its peak. The line above "Fire will scare the cockatoos" is wrong however. The real lyrics is "Four wheels scares the cockatoos"

forty five degrees | Reviewer: Joe
    ------ About the song Beds are Burning performed by Midnight Oil

A note about the lyrics - where it mentions "forty five degrees", that's probably Celsius, which is the temperature scale used in Australia and most other countries outside the U.S. That works out to 113 degrees Fahrenheit.

A Protest Song too! | Reviewer: Allie (fellow rock lover)
    ------ About the song Beds are Burning performed by Midnight Oil

I love this song, and have always loved it from the time I first heard it, but I never knew it was a protest song until today and it really hits home now!g Giving native Australian lands back to the Pintupi Aborigines is totally a cause worth writing a song for!!!
Katie, I shun rap as well. It is NOT music nor can it be called singing! It disgraces the music industry. Remember: Country + Rap = CRAP. But rap makes up 3/4 of that!
