The Breakfast Creek Hotel is up for sale
The last square mile of terra firma gavelled in the mail
So farewell to the Norfolk Island pines
No amount of make believe can help this heart of mine

[Chorus]
End - your dreamworld is just about to end
Fall - your dreamworld is just about to fall
Your dreamworld will fall

So shut that buckle and turn that key again
Take me to a place they say the dreaming never ends
Open wide drive that mistery road
Walk through Eden's garden and then wander as you go

Chorus

Sign says honeymoon to rent
Cloudland into dreamland turns
The sun comes up and we all learn
Those wheels must turn

Went to their last farewell tour concert recently at the Hordern Pavillion in Sydney with my 16 year old daughter. They played for over 3 hours and went through their whole catalogue. Pete has still got the moves at 69.  It was beautiful symmetry as they were the first concert I ever went to at the same venue when I was the same age as my daughter.  One of the best live acts you could ever hope to see. The emoji is the closest approximation of Pete's dancing I could find



You lucky duck. I wish I could have been there too!  GREAT TUNE!!  Thanx RP!

A friend got tickets to see them for their 2017 reunion tour, did i want to go? Sure, I remember them, figured they must need money and would uninspired go through their greatest hits type thing... WRONG. They came out and opened with Redneck Wonderland and knocked my socks off for the next several hours, the energy, the guitars, boy did I learn a lot about this band that night!  Count me as a fan.



Saw them in Paris in 2019 and three times this summer (Utrecht, Berlin and Paris). Best summer of my life and the Oils are, even when reaching 70, the greatest live gig. Two hours of non-stop passion and energy.

I saw these guys on the Blue Sky Mining tour along with Hunters and Collectors.  I've seen lots of concerts and this one still goes down as the best one I've ever been to.  The sound was phenomenal and sounded better than a CD!  They had a full horn section that just made everything sound better.  I'll never forget the tremendous sound and energy that went on for hours!!  Thanks for the great memories!

I've always like them, but to me they are like Dr. Pepper,  the first sip is delicious but with each swallow it gets less palatable.  I like to mix them in with other artists in mixes but I've had a hard time digesting a full album.

This tune is 6.9

Blue Sky Mine was my first CD format album purchase. It took me a awhile to discover their earlier stuff, but I have always enjoyed Midnight Oil. Saw them at the Barrymore in Madison, WI a while back - lots of energy as a live show.

I can remember the first tape I owned (License to Ill  - we came late to the format) and I believe my first LP was Sesame Street Story Time (Ike and the Ilk!) Will future generations reflect on their first Spotify download?

Agree that the older stuff is better, while this album, albeit a little commercial, is very, very good. I saw them three times in the nineties, and they can put on a show like few others, thanks to Peter Garret as their front man. BTW, their self-titled debut is my favorite. It's raw, with some hardcore surf infused in it. Worth picking up for certain.

I cannot imagine associating "plodding" and "leaden" with Midnight Oil. Especially their live shows.  Spasmodic, yes.  Leaden, nope.

Humorless leftie lyrics and plodding, leaden rock is not an appealing combination - it's trying to be important and it's just boring. Peter Garrett is now a Federal Minister in Australia, already endorsing policies totally at odds with his stance in Midnight Oil.

The Fat Cats are hurting terribly.  After all, the top hedge fund manager made ONLY about $10,000,000,000 last year.  I don't know how he's going to afford that new gold back scratchier.

No way, dude — that's Henry Paulson, Mr. Treshury Secretary. Not to say that Peter Garrett is looking much better. . .but at least he looks a bit more rock star.

So, being behind the times a bit, I asked my Aussie friend if it was true that Peter Garrett was in politics now.  Her reply,  "Yes he is in politics now, and true to form, he has made a complete ass of himself on more than one occaision.  But if you can have Arnie, we can hav Midnight Oil."

priceless.

Saw these guys on the tour of the Cd after this one. Rumor about the concert was they were going to come out and play entirely acoustic and mellow the whole evening. Then these Midnight Oil tricksters came out and did the opposite-- it was all electric and very loud, heavy metallic. And great, an awesome concert.

when we (me and my Dad) went bush, he always brewed up the strongest black tea you've ever seen. Nothing special - it was a pretty common thing .. light a fire, get water in a billy (aluminum pot) from down the river, chuck in two generous handfuls of black tea and let it stew. Bloody revolting.

Incubus and that "A Crow Left of the Murder" crap) - make the music approcahable, then the people start listening to the lyrics, then the little light clicks on!
