| Midnight Oil – U.S. Forces Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I remember when this song first came out as one of the Oils earliest mainstream hits. The press got a hold of a sensationalist story that Pete's tall frame and bald noggin exhibited in the US Forces"video was scaring young children, He was definately öne out of the box (an original) let's hope he still is. Patience "put urself on par", maybe Pete is the great sleeper, paying his Labour Party dues while waiting to move up the ladder towards becoming PM, politics is a slow moving machiavellian game. He's definitely one of the best public speakers I've ever heard and his track record for being a true humanitarian before become a poly was exceptional. |

This song used to be a big favourite of mine, it makes you open your mind and search within. I have long pondered the central question of this song "what sort of person (Australian) do you want to be?" I completely agree with the line "So don't call me the tune or I will walk away" Essentially, don't tell me what to do or I'll tell you to fuck off. I especially love Rob Hirst's one-country-one harmony towards the end. |
