Midnight Oil piosenki

I don't want to run I don't want to stay Cos everything that's near and dear is old and in decay Emergency has gone, apathy rolling on Time to take a stand Redneck wonderland Got you in my sights, spotlit by the fence If it's love you're faking it's just...

Hanging on like hell to the safety chain Lifebuoy crash lands in a vale of tears All the lovers are in retreat Out on the edge of the nervous street So deaf to the call of the wild Deaf to the first born's whispering plea Expanding frame the city is in...

Don't want to live in a prison cell Don't want to live in a smoking room, Independence just won't come to you In the brief of a diplomat. Say your prayers for the future Say your prayers for the past, It might be round the corner It might be all we hav...

Come to me now Be careful what you say Don't make a sound, there's noise enough in this Come with me know, let night move into day Let sheets keep secrets that no-one else could know I could kill for this one time and not be caught She said to me t...

(Bus to Bondi) Push start that car tomorrow I'll take it to the tip yard Well I'll leave it as a metal wreck For cats to sleep Then I'll catch the bus to Bondi Swim the beach and wonder Who can wear the fashion when The place is oh so hot I'm just p...

I was asleep with both eyes open Dream freeze sprinklers in the sun Beer soaked mansions block the sky, dingos howl and white flags fly The future's put on hold and you're still young But I know seeing is believing I can't believe what I'm seeing I wa...

Let's begin, I am ready, let's begin Sell my soul to him Shed my skin, I just wanna shed my skin I don't wanna sell my soul to him Mechanize, city bursts and farmers die They cry Sell my soul to him Sleep face down in a goods train heading south i...

Won't you come down the line Away from barren ground The harlot and the autocrat Are they driving you further down The season's rhymes, they anchor me Against the raging tide Take you to the last wild place Skin and the stars they embrace A caveman c...

Thought one day I'd make my fortune Like the ancient cavalcades From the shipyards of New Zealand Chasing history I left home Moving west into the sunset Became the sunset of our lives I was factory made and settled Safe from storm and broken earth T...

The Zulu and the Navaho The Belgians in the Congo Plantation in Virginia The Raj in British India The deadline in South Africa The story of El Salvador The silence of Hiroshima Destruction of Cambodia Short memory, must have a short memory...

On the fringes of torso and lips Straining to hear the voice of gospel choir Pummelled plains and beaten fields We’re never broken in spirit within But I feel like we’re coming around Yes, I feel like we’re coming around Tell me Cloud burst teeming, i...

So you got the blues The evening wore out your shoes To a shuffling beat It's a colourful crowd Spray can information Cover the lonely station Checkpoint for the state of the nation On the missionbeat beat The radio drug Wayward destinations Secondh...

Breaking me down - lunatic noises Breaking me down - desperate voices Breaking me down - phone is blistering Breaking me down - death by listening Somebody's out there, somebody's waiting Somebody's trying to tell me something Somebody's trying to...

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...

I know that the sunset empire shudders and shakes I know there's a floodgate and a raging river I say see the silence of the ribbons of iron and steel I say hear the punch drunk huddle drive hammer and wheel Sometimes you're beaten to the call Sometimes...

There's an SOS of real distress, baby tears at the best address Ambulance chasers won't confess, sun comes up and you're stuck The ones and the zeros are flushing your pores, You've been flamed in the dark and you're feeling sore The dripfeed rattle lures...
