When I was in Year 6(12 years old) Our class studied the lyrics of this song for English! and sung it in a group of three and sing in frount of the hole class and my teacher filmed us and sent it to midnight oil!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh oooo noooo!!!!!!!!!!!! nooooooo how embarasing !!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care want anyone says, Jim Mogine was the brains of this band, after all he wrote most of the songs with Hurst! seen them all over Australia, best aussie band ever ffs
@leimanaang. I'm sorry to have to tell you this but Peter Garrett has recently decided not to intervene as Minister for School Education and stop the use of corporal punishment in non-state schools in Australia.In particular the states of Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland. His music will live on but while he has the "power" to change the status quo in Australian non-state schools he doesn't have the "passion" anymore to put his principles of social justice into practise.
@sorb1000 I tried to find out what exactly you are talking about.. Couldn't find any news about this. I don't live in Australia and searched the internet for any news about corporal punishment and Peter Garrett but couldn't find anything. Got a web site I could check out? Would be interested to find out whats up =).
Can't believe people are saying how much Peter Garrett has changed.... He is helping to educate the next gen by being the Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth... He is still out there making a difference!
@leimanaang I am so glad to hear that since I keep reading negative comments. I will always love Midnight Oil, my political environmentalists! Peter Garrett will always be A+++++ for me:)
Beautifully crafted music - no rush for lyrics. Even if you don not agree with the heavy left wing polical message this is just a great song. Like most of Midnight Oil's songs. Take the message away and we a left with such precious much.
this is how you know a band is good. a randomly organized concert in the middle of new york and people and people arent just walking by but stopping to watch/listen. and i reckon most us people wouldnt know who midnight oil was, especially back then. more aussie bands should try this sort off stuff
It's to me one of the best impromptu live performances I know. They arrived outside the Exxon Building on a flat-top truck with all their gear and just did it.. Permit or not, the NY cops dug it too.
One of the best live performaces for me. The fact that they rolled-up there on a Flat-top truck and did it all with the mixers is a credit to the band. And look at the New Yorkers. They know talent when they see it!

Great song, great band, pertinent message...saw them live at the Surfair in Mudjimba circa 1982...nothings changed in 2 decades...Exxon, chevron, marathon BP, Shell, Halliburton...the list of the profit mongers goes on and on and on and on......
Is there such thing as a political band anymore. This lead singer is now a patsy for mainstream aussie politics,. short memory must have a short memory. btw he is suprisingly very religious and what americans would call pro life. great songs though. sellout
Eu realmente gostaria de achar para comprar este show em DVD, mas infelizmente as gravadoras dão para trás em lançar um show com cunho tão político ... gravadoras RIP ... vosso poder está acabando ... um dia irei comprar este show e rever este concerto tocado em plena rua ... parabéns Midnight Oil !
Is there anymore of this concert online? I'm always amazed not only how damn great this band was live but how, not the Clash, not U2, not Bruce, stood out in front of an entity like Exxon and played their stuff. I've seen the entire show once and this is the first time since. What powerful songwriting, great musicianship, and singing.
I am about to riot every day now, and I am a fan of this band since I have heard them first. You might also like their song called tone poem. The best live show I have ever seen.
@cabronte AMEN!!!So revelant now!! Have the greatest respect for Midnight Oil and this concert!!Let another band do what they did for a lot of causes!!
@cabronte Hey, They have a DVD called '20 Thousand Watt RSL. it has all their good stuff on there. You might pick it up a Amazon or someting like that. Get it and play it LOUD!!! Peace.
@cabronte There is a Midnight Oil DVD called '20,000 Watt RSL' containing this and all their gems. I'm sure you'll find it somewhere in here (the web)! ...to me this is one of the best live performances ever. After the Exxon Valdez disaster, they just arrived on a flat-top truck and made the statement t! Pure magic. Never tire of it! I think the NY cops dug it to!
You cannot change things by yelling from the sidelines. Prime Minister of Australia, Peter Garrett, will be a reality one day. The Labor Party of Australia is a tough gig, but Peter Garrett will never give up. And he, and the Oils, will always be on song.
Kgv1. Great to see you aknowleadge the shit that goin on. i dig garrett heaps. I think its better to have someone like him in parliment than shit eating vote grabing turds, his hands are somewhat tied but he WILL make a difference!!!
I love the environment and sea. However think... we ratify Kyoto, introduce carbon credits, effectively destoy major Australian manufacturing, who commit to being as environmentally friendly as possible, where does substitiute product come from? Namely Steel and Aluminium. China and Indonesia of course, who not give a flying fuck about Kyoto or Carbon Emissions..We are not solving any problems, rather destroying our economy and shifting already out of control problem focus needs to change!
yo, with no economy, you wouldn't have a computer or youtube. Changing energy habits on a national scale is important, but will take time to do in a way that won't leave everyone penniless. In the interim, we should all be making efforts on the grassroots level, by recycling, consuming fewer low quality/disposable products, reducing our energy use, and voicing our support to Congress. It's much more difficult, but much more effective, than a one-line youtube post.
We are better off with people like him in parliment, Sure he wrote music, but his influence is underrated as a polly! Go green. Keep battling Pete! once green always green. Peace and love to all. What a beautiful earth we live on!! the glass HAS to be half full
One of my favorite bands. Excellent musicians who are terribly underrated. One of the best live acts as well. They remind me of The Who as far as the energy on stage. Would love to see them again damn it! I try to turn everyone I can on to them. Absolutely love them.
Just shows it is easier to be on the outside, being an "activist" rather than being on the inside trying to govern. I think President Obama is learning that the hard way along with Mr. Garrett.
i think garrett can achieve more being frontman in midnight oil, writing unmistaken lyrics than being forced to compromise and therefore losing all the credits he deserves
my exact thoughts "i think garrett can achieve more being frontman in midnight oil, writing unmistaken lyrics than being forced to compromise and therefore losing all the credits he deserves"
yeah...now...what's he doing about the 250 million tons of cude sitting on QLD beaches at the moment ??
I guess he better throw a concert huh? Garrett lost my respect a while ago. Great muso and activist...he sucks as a minister though. He's too conflicted now.
OZZ...don't go down the path the socialist Bush and the UBER-Marxist OBAMA have taken once free and strong America. Hey American sheep...you will never miss FREEDOM until it's gone. Obama '08
moxxx53, the poor grammer in your statement makes it hard to determine your stance on this issue, but i have to assume you're anti-socialist. we've had public healthcare down here since i was born, and aside from an occasional wait due to government red tape, it works just fine. a bit of socialism never hurt anyone. much better than your citizens getting crushed by unpayable doctor bills.

Coal Emmisions, Oil in the Ocean, The Byo-Systems Compromise only for Business-Thanks Many Thanks GREAT MIDTNIGHT OIL; For Your Great Defense At Human Rights!
6.8 BILLION Humans jammed on this Earth. God, I love Midnight Oil, but the Oils are from the last wide open space on Earth, with the frigid exception of Antartica and Siberia.
23 Million people on 3 million Sq. Miles of Continent. Peter, save Australia...the last hope for mankind. Protect that jewel. Watch your borders...watch your culture....channel your passion....and, please, let me in.
I am all for PG bashing if it were appropriate. He ran and succeeded in government with real power to change and in less than a year we have had more change in than we have had in decades.
Look at the new environmental policy under PG, a world leading initiative. You have to have jobs and paper, I don't like the pulp mill particularly, but I do use paper and under the new legislation they will be charged for CO2 emissions AND for every tree they cut down to make it.
Hot sexy Dirty ;) young brazilian girl with beautiful round curves. A hot tight ass and wet pussy. I can be very naughty! I love to show of my hot body for you, playing with my dildo, analsex, I get very horny when people are whatching me playing with myself. And ooh yeah, I love it when a guy cums on my face mmmmmmm And I love to show all I got. I can give you the horniest show ever bb. jOIN me at Play-Cam (.COM) my user-id there is Madison-plqo chat soon on cam :) fkmclnoaeyx
Why is the pulp mill bad, it is being built just across the river from me, and I hope to get a job there, just because you are already wealthy, dont have to find a job, doesnt mean you should stuff it up for us younger ones. Do you want all the young people from Tassie to leave for the mainland because there are no high paying jobs in the state?
I always liked them for their sound, their melodies, through all of their career. This song especially for the intro, amazing guitar, scratchy, edgy, rough....one of the reason I decided to play guitar many years ago. brings back to this time of bright melodic guitars like in the Bunnymen, Smiths...Peter was a crazy showman/singer. RATM before RATM lyrically speaking.
This video never fails to give me chills. The first time i saw it I wept. I remember the Exon Valdez and the tragedy that one incompetent, drunken captain on a single-hulled ship caused.
There will never be another band like Midnight Oil.
I love the political point made here in front of Exxon offices!
Peter Garret is now Environment Minister of Australia. Unfortunately he is allowing the dredging of Melbourne's bay, and the permission for a new Pulp Mill in Tasmania!
J'ai découvert Midnigt oil lorsque j'avais 15 ans et passé mes soirée à traduire leurs textes, j'en suis toujours accros aujourd'hui... Et en accord parfait...
I vividly remember when I saw Midnight Oil in concert here in the Alps in Switzerland (Leysin Rock Festival), the gig was so powerful. This song is one of my favorite of MO, the first time I've heard it, I thought to myself... "this IS the band" ! I admire Peter Garrett as a man and whish him the best in his political duties.
Thank you Peter Garrett, youve just confirmed in my mind that you have become a horses arse puppet, after loving your music for as long as I can remember, you now go and allow Port Philip Bay to be dredged.
Cheers-brother
p.s. what have the rest of the band have to say about this?

We are better off with people like him in parliment, Sure he wrote music, but his influence is underrated as a polly! Go green. Keep battling Pete! once green always green. Peace and love to all. What a beautiful earth we live on!! the glass HAS to be half full

One of my favorite bands. Excellent musicians who are terribly underrated. One of the best live acts as well. They remind me of The Who as far as the energy on stage. Would love to see them again damn it! I try to turn everyone I can on to them. Absolutely love them.

Just shows it is easier to be on the outside, being an "activist" rather than being on the inside trying to govern. I think President Obama is learning that the hard way along with Mr. Garrett.

i think garrett can achieve more being frontman in midnight oil, writing unmistaken lyrics than being forced to compromise and therefore losing all the credits he deserves

yeah...now...what's he doing about the 250 million tons of cude sitting on QLD beaches at the moment ??
I guess he better throw a concert huh? Garrett lost my respect a while ago. Great muso and activist...he sucks as a minister though. He's too conflicted now.

moxxx53, the poor grammer in your statement makes it hard to determine your stance on this issue, but i have to assume you're anti-socialist. we've had public healthcare down here since i was born, and aside from an occasional wait due to government red tape, it works just fine. a bit of socialism never hurt anyone. much better than your citizens getting crushed by unpayable doctor bills.

Il faut réactualiser le système, il parle surtout dela guerre économique et de la religion du marchandising qui détruit l'Humain dans son âme et la terre dans son corps.
La croissance économique est une course éperdue vers un but illusoire, la surconsommation détruit les ressources, et rend l'Homme vain.
Stop work ! This is dangerous for humanity and there's no matter to have ridiculous and vain luxe ! Remember the light on the hill and spell with good intentions.

I am all for PG bashing if it were appropriate. He ran and succeeded in government with real power to change and in less than a year we have had more change in than we have had in decades.
Look at the new environmental policy under PG, a world leading initiative. You have to have jobs and paper, I don't like the pulp mill particularly, but I do use paper and under the new legislation they will be charged for CO2 emissions AND for every tree they cut down to make it.
Not just great music!

Why is the pulp mill bad, it is being built just across the river from me, and I hope to get a job there, just because you are already wealthy, dont have to find a job, doesnt mean you should stuff it up for us younger ones. Do you want all the young people from Tassie to leave for the mainland because there are no high paying jobs in the state?

Peter always made me think of a guy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. With his stage show he could have come from a psycho hospital...!

I always liked them for their sound, their melodies, through all of their career. This song especially for the intro, amazing guitar, scratchy, edgy, rough....one of the reason I decided to play guitar many years ago. brings back to this time of bright melodic guitars like in the Bunnymen, Smiths...Peter was a crazy showman/singer. RATM before RATM lyrically speaking.

This video never fails to give me chills. The first time i saw it I wept. I remember the Exon Valdez and the tragedy that one incompetent, drunken captain on a single-hulled ship caused.
There will never be another band like Midnight Oil.

Yeah, great concert in front of Exxon - I'll always love Midnight Oil.
Peter seems to be compromising a bit as an Labour Minister, but still better he than anything the bLiberals have ever offered.

I love the political point made here in front of Exxon offices!
Peter Garret is now Environment Minister of Australia. Unfortunately he is allowing the dredging of Melbourne's bay, and the permission for a new Pulp Mill in Tasmania!
What about the environment, Peter?

I vividly remember when I saw Midnight Oil in concert here in the Alps in Switzerland (Leysin Rock Festival), the gig was so powerful. This song is one of my favorite of MO, the first time I've heard it, I thought to myself... "this IS the band" ! I admire Peter Garrett as a man and whish him the best in his political duties.
