Biografía:
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

LYRICS:
D A D F#
F# F#7 F# F#7
I believe we're crossing a great ravine
F# E
still yearning, half-way a stranger
F# F#7 F# F#7
I believe in our multiplicity
F# E
still part-blind, no reason for anger
A D G
so why don't you tell me
A D G
why don't you tell me
A F# E B F# F#m
why don't you tell me the truth about you
D A D F#
F# F#7 F# F#7
tyranny crushing the young bird's seed
F# E
hallowe'en's mate short fuse of the banker
F# F#7 F# F#7
I can see vaseline, you smeared it across every scene
F# E
the anchorman drowns in a sea of sensation
F#
I thought myself wise through all of these hopeless times
E
but I told myself, told myself, you've got to hold on
A D G
so why don't you tell me
A D G
why don't you tell me
A F# E B F# F#m
why don't you tell me the truth about you
A D G
why don't you tell me
A D G
why don't you tell me
A F# E B F# F#m
why don't you tell me the truth about you
D A D A
about you, about you
[D A until end]
