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, whatcha gonna do now, now that you started?
Whatcha gonna do now, now that it's done?
The words got out there, they float around and are coming right back down.
You gonna leave us lying here
Dealing with the consequences of a bad sound
Of a bad sound.

White skin black heart
White skin black heart

Whatcha gonna do now, that it's spoken?
These words of a habit, have not faded away.
.................... it clear, conscious gets opened like a wound.
If you can't concieve a better line and better times,
Then let silence bury you, in the end.
When you feel it, when you feel it
You're condemned.

You see, you've lost your strangle on the freedom road! You 
think ........................of something a long time ago!  You 
[spewed it out you were so] insecure!  It was like ............. on 
the toilet floor!  You're a [nine seat] drunk,  ...............  and 
you say you want something, ..........    you heard the rednecks 
roaring for blood and then they wanted more! Life was so small, you 
couldn't get enough.  You made a start.

White skin black heart
Dripping,
White skin black heart

White skin black heart
White skin black heart

White skin black heart
                         Drag your eyes from [aurora] black heart!
White skin black heart
                         Drag your leg, get outta here [my sight]!
White skin black heart
                         White skin black heart
White skin black heart
                         White skin black heart
You didn't have to start
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
