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 »

Capricornia don't walk away
Show me to the back of your hand
Capricornia don't leave me here
Dying in the back of your land.

In the evening things all fall apart
They crawl away dying in the bushes alone
In the morning well I see myself
See myself as a Christ like figure walking.

In the evening things all fall apart
They crawl away
Drowning in the setting sun
In the morning well I see myself
I see myself as a father mother brother sister.

Capricornia don't walk away
Show me to the back of your hand
Capricornia don't fade away
Show me to the back of your hand
Capricornia it's a free ride
Capricornia.
