Midnight oil - Sometimes. Diesel and dust.1986."I know that the sunset empire shudders and shakes
I know there's a floodgate and a raging river
I say the silence of the ribbons of iron and steel
I say hear the punch drunk huddle drive hammer and steel
Sometimes you're beaten to the call
Sometimes you're taken to the wall
But you don't give in
I know that the cannibals wear smart suits and ties
I know they arm wrestle on the altar
I say don't leave your heart in a hard place
Sometimes you're shaken to the core
Sometimes the face is gonna fall
But you don't give in"
Their music incorporates a feeling of punk, pop, post punk, alternative, but ends up a style all it's own. Great music.

This song was incredible Live at Sound Relief 80.000 at the G.
Will take the memory to my grave-thanks Oils.
It's not cool to like the oils anymore-Fuck that, these guys rock so deep.

Good to know i'm not the only one that thinks that. I always think of Gunbarrel Highway as a bonus track, not part of the album on a whole.
That said, Gunbarrel Highway is still a good song in its own right

They restored "Gunbarrel Highway" to the end of Diesel & Dust with the remastered Legacy edition in 2008 ... but I always thought this was a PERFECT song to end the album with ...
