Midnight Oil

Midnight Oil (also known informally as "The Oils" to fans), were an Australian alternative rock band from Sydney originally performing as Farm from 1972 with drummer Rob Hirst, bass guitarist Andrew James and keyboard player/lead guitarist Jim Moginie. While vocalist Peter Garrett was studying at Australian National University in Canberra, he answered an advertisement for a spot in Farm, and by 1975 the band was touring the east coast. By late 1976, Garrett moved to Sydney to complete his law degree, and Farm changed its name to Midnight Oil by drawing the name out of a hat. more »

Yeah, beauty, love, and compassion
Look around the world
'Cause nothing less will do
Yeah, I say beauty, love, and compassion
Spread it everywhere
'Cause nothing less will do

Still waters run so deep
Your kingdom wall falls so cheap
Nobody's child is coming home

When I came into this world now
Someone had to love me
'Cause nothing less would do
And I saw, as I got older
Beauty, truth, and compassion
Nothing less will do

Still waters run so deep
Your kingdom walls so steep
Nobody's child is coming home
Hey

You live your life in a fantasy
A secret life in a hideaway
And only you can tell what's wrong and right
A broken record you can't fix
A blind you draw to get some peace
And something from your childhood dark and deep

Beauty, love, and compassion, I say it one more time
Beauty, love, and compassion, one more time, I will say it
Beauty, truth, and compassion
Getting it every day
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I think someone said it out loud
I can tell you now
Alright, 'cause nothing less will do
