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

E-Beat by Midnight Oil from the album "Breathe" (tune down one fret to match the album)
DAmG There is a place we're going to
DAmG It is not green, it is not blue
BmCD I hope that you understand
Am Devil was a-dancin' on the old foreshore
Am Hittin' up on bright lights and the liquor stores
DCDCDCDC Save me, please save me
DAmG We've got to prick that bubble in the shopping arcade
DAmG Gonna make amends for the things we've said
BmCD I do hope that you understand
Am Dirty washing on the line, footsteps in the sand
Am Who's going to lead us on to some promised land
DCDC Save me
Am Devil was a-dancin' on the old foreshore
Am Hittin' up on bright lights and the liquor stores
DCDCDCDC Ya, tell me, please save me
EmCG The land lives longer if we listen to the Earthbeat
EmCG Our lives go forward if we listen to our heartspeak
