The promo clip. One of their biggest hits, and certainly one of their more socially conscious records.

Are you Australian? If so, you should know better. If not, well I wonder where you got that info from.

Some of the crimes committed were for stealing bread, and being poor! Let it go. Aussy COOL!

dazzadidja’s comments are true an well said. Just listen to some of the lyrics people: `the time has come to say fairs fair’. `It belongs to them, let’s give it back’. This song was released before the `Mabo-1992; Native Title Act-1993′(Australia). To this day significant injustice occurs to Aboriginal people.

I agree with you 100%. That is what this song means. I just learned about it in my Travel and Tourism class yesterday.
I loved the song so much I watched in on here yesterday and downloaded in to my itunes.
When I seen the comment about the “Global warming” I got pissed off, and then I saw yours and I felt better.
Thanks.

Who the hell is THE AMERICAN SCHEME???

lol there was no such thing as global warming back then :P


dazzadidja on 23 September, 2007 at 7:14 am #

IT’S NOT ABOUT GLOBAL WARMIMG, it’s about injustice to australian aboriginals, and how the blood of aboriginal people still cries out for justice while people sleep and eat on top of that blood….in every city and town, aboriginal blood has been shed….

Song is about Global Warming I believe. Beds are burning meaning the earth’s tempature is hotter then ever!!!!

This band had essence. Lyrics. Music. Melody. I miss it. I’d like very much wake up one day and have been noticed that it come back to play around the world.

HAIL MIDNIGHT OIL!!!

um… what exactly is this song about? I didn`t know it really had an important meaning, but now I see it seems I was wrong…


Allies1945 on 28 September, 2007 at 3:15 am #

Yeah, but how hillarious would a Peter Garrett bobblehead be? :)


ForexFrenzy on 29 September, 2007 at 9:50 pm #

No matter how many years a song is made, if it is good, it is always good :)


aniemaniac523 on 2 October, 2007 at 2:16 am #

I agree Peter Garret scares the crap out of me! (No offence)
