Beds Are Burning: Midnight Oil, Diesel & Dust
It’s no secret that Midnight Oil had a lot of political things to say in their lyrics-Australian as they might have been, they still have messages that would apply to people in any country. They had a lot of things to say about the environment as well, and the many different things that we are doing to screw over our environment. This song kind of deals with both sides.
I love this song- political or not. It has such a fun beat to go with it, and few songs in my list have a brass section in them! I wish these guys had put out more music in their time- there’s still hope after all!
*** Artist Notes ***
As cool as it would have been to light the bed on fire- I happen to like my bed!
Lyrics:
The blood wood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now
To pay our share
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
We're gonna give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

With fair weather forecast (not that I'm just a fair weather rider lol) I decided to take the bike for a run down to the South Coast. I didn't really have an itinerary in mind and while I was heading down the M23 I decided to divert off route to visit the Royal Botanical Gardens at Wakehurst Place before heading in to Brighton.
