Biografía:
Midnight Oil era una banda de rock australiana reconocida por su característico sonido hard-rock, intensas presentaciones en vivo y su abierto activismo político.
"Burning the midnight oil" significa trabajar tarde en la noche, aludiendo a una lámpara de aceite. "Smells of the midnight oil" caracteriza poesía o prosa cargada con elaboradas alusiones literarias y vocabulario metafórico.
The Oils, como los conocen sus seguidores, comenzaron como una banda de rock progresivo llamada Farm a comienzos de los 70s

[Verse 1]
A
I, I was
F#m Em A
I was shaken down in a toy town
A
He, he's out there
F#m Em A
You know it's Kennedy's shadow from White Cross to Michigan
A
ATMs in the air
F#m Em A
Oh yeah, machines, they are spinning out everywhere
D
The speaker is speaking, can you hear the sound?
The listener is listening as he hits the ground
F#m C#7
The medium or the message but there's no-one around
[Chorus]
F#m D F#m E F#m D F#m E
I couldn't believe
F#m A Esus4 E
I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton
F#m D E G
Were waiting for me
A A
[Verse 2]
A
We were dancing, we were dancing on the plain
F#m Em A
Were looking through the window, didn't see any buffalo there
A
We got our pipe dreams, they went up in smoke dreams
F#m Em A
Burn it clean in the climate control of your hypermart malls
A
Don't want to talk about Elvis Presley
Don't want to see his white shoes walkin'
F#m Em A
Around and around and around and around over here
D
The press baron's acting up the mainframes are down
The newspapers crawling around on the ground
F#m C#7
The medium or the message still there's no-one around
[Chorus]
F#m D F#m E F#m D F#m E
I couldn't believe
F#m A Esus4 E
I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton
F#m D E G
Were waiting for me
[Bridge]
C Am
Over the hills and mountains we go
G F C G
So far so far away
C Am
For the ring of the axe on the ironbark
G F C G
For the smell of the wallaby stew
A D A F#m
From the golden reefs to the sandstone cliffs
E G D E
Came the sheep pens of the mallee plain
A D A F#m
The wind blew the soil to the Orient
E G D
We'll be shouting to the skies again
[Chorus]
F#m D F#m E F#m D F#m E
I couldn't believe
F#m A Esus4 E
I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton
F#m D E G
Were waiting for me
F#m D F#m E F#m D F#m E
I couldn't believe
F#m A Esus4 E
I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton
F#m D E G
Were living in me, raining down on me
F#m D F#m E F#m D F#m E
I couldn't believe
F#m A Esus4 E
I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton
F#m D E G
Were washing down on me
