Cover art for King Of The Mountain lyrics by Midnight Oil

I'm with Ace 22. It's very unlike Midnight Oil to glorify some rev-heads (even if I am one and wish it were about a car race) and feel the story refers less to Peter Brock and more to Peter and Paul from the Bible (even though he's not religious at all, he was prone to references to Bible stuff) and the hero here is more the working man who isn't looking for recognition - unlike Brockie whom I love greatly but who could never pass down a chance to get his name bandied about.
