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 »

All the screens are filled with heroes and losers
But the sky's still filled with stars
This junky palace might be on fire
Til the winners lose desire
Let it go  let it go

So tell me what you see
Tell me what you hear
If it's the same as me it's the golden age

Big brother tries to stitch and bend
But channel surfers find new friends
See freedom's silhouette increase
Its time to claim that sweet release
Let it go, let it go

I can see a purple patch of jacaranda
Framed in eucalyptus from this wooden floored verandah
Heading past the watermark
Heading for the hills
Heading for the edge of time
Heading for the thrills of the golden age

Now tell me what you see
And tell me what you hear
If it's the same as me it's the golden age

Now everybody's talking about the golden age
