Midnight Oil era una banda de rock australiana reconocida por su característico sonido hard-rock, intensas presentaciones en vivo y su abierto activismo político. "Burning the midnight oil" significa trabajar tarde en la noche, aludiendo a una lámpara de aceite. "Smells of the midnight oil" caracteriza poesía o prosa cargada con elaboradas alusiones literarias y vocabulario metafórico. The Oils, como los conocen sus seguidores, comenzaron como una banda de rock progresivo llamada Farm a comienzos de los 70s

Verse: EmGBmDEmGBmD Speed, and and this EmGBmDEmGBmD There's a feeling I get when I look to the sun EmGBmDEmGBmD Love, it's so tough EmGBmD Cause it raises your hopes and then it makes you run

No conversation as you go There's so much space the heat moves you Terracotta homes, backyard barbeque and eucalyptus smell It's fine on the clothes line It's fast food and slow life and red roof My silence, comic interruptions Surely there's some relief from atomic art
*These Chords are played (on a an acoustic in the album wersion) throughout Petes Rant:
AmFM9CG/B DmFm9DmG/B
And the fragile state of world events With clowns who love the kings and power and the mutant media babes Wanking on dreams and fashions and toilet paper flowers Don't talk to me in this backyard - it's clandestine, it's nuclear Smell of space and now forever I wanna go Straight down the exit eight mile attraction U-turn is up and the time clock sings lets go
DmFAmCDmFAmC Lucky!! Country!! DmFAmCDmFAmC Where the geckos are paid to live in the sun DmFAmCDmFAmC (ah on) Lucky!!(on, and on)Country!! DmFAmCDmFAmC There's a ribbon of road and a mile to spare
End: DmFAmCDmFAmC Luc-ky Coun-try Luc-ky Coun-try
DmFAmCDmFAmC Luc-ky Coun-try Luc-ky Coun-try
DmFAmCDmFAmC Luc-ky Coun-try
DmFAmCDmFAmC Luc-ky Coun-try
DmFAmCDmFAmC Luc-ky Coun-try Luc-ky Coun-try (repeat to fade)
