Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning
Beds Are Burning - Lyrics

Out where the river broke
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

Midnight Oil was a big advocate for the aboriginal natives of Australia. This song still rocks today and still retains it's meaning in today's times

[holliwouldifshecould]

This is a political song about giving native Australian lands back to the Pintupi, who were among the very last people to come in from the desert. These "last contact" people began moving from the Gibson Desert to settlements and missions in the 1930s. More were forcibly moved during the 1950s and 1960s to the Papunya settlement. In 1981 they left to return to their own country and established the Kintore community which is nestled in the picturesque Kintore Ranges, surrounded by Mulga and Spinifex country. It is now a thriving little community with a population of about 400.
In my own way, as a Cherokee, I can relate.
When it came out in '86 I was 16, so the meaning went right over my head and I wasn't big on the song for a while. As I got a little older, I learned the meaning and grew to like the song. 🙂

[bighousegroove]

The neatest thing about 80s music is how much of it actually meant something. It was socially conscious, much of it. Musicians actually thought they could impact the world in a positive way. Not sure if they actually did that much, but they sure as hell tried.

[ComaToast]

As an indigenous Australian I would give my life for Peter garret much respect brother you’re a true Australian

[kazz]

Midnight Oil formed in 1972 from what I’ve read, but I was too young to remember, . The lead singer is Peter Garrett who joined in 1973. He has a very eccentric dance style, and that really is his signature move. This song was released in 1987…. He became a politician after and a minister for education and then minister for the environment, and I believe he helped to place a World Heritage on the Ningaloo Reef off the coast of WA, my home State.

[Tammy-ve]

As a Native American I identify with this song. Midnight Oil was awesome 😎

[ironic]

Midnight Oil set up and played in the street in New York as a protest to the Exxon valdez oil spill in the 80s

[iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

This song has received extensive radio airplay.

[geetee]

It was #1 in many countries in the late 80s and even top 20 in the US. A more iconic (live) performance of this song was in the 2000 Sydney Olympics Closing Ceremony with about 120, 000 singing and dancing along. Midnight Oil are one of Australia's most iconic bands of the past 40 years and they have many more (mostly meaningful) songs.

[PaulEngineer]

This is a BIG song about Indigenous Land Rights, that has been covered by a few big names. Iconic.

[ryant]

I worked at a theater these guys played at, These guys were really cool and the stage at the theater is round and it slowly rotates. I thought the singer was gonna break it, the dude is a giant and when he starts dancing and stomping I swear the stage was bouncing as it tried to rotate.. but such a nice guy.

[susannewitt]

Great song, great message. My time to go out and have a lttle fun.

[Maizy]

This came out mid 80's and his dancing is tame here, you should see him live! Saw them in 84 in Adelaide and they're on fire.

[MikeInMD]

I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert back in the '90's. They actually sound better live than recorded. I was a sweaty mess by the end of the show. Love them!!

[kidztruthproductions]

This was Midnight Oil's biggest song, and had the most play overseas of any of their songs, and they also performed it at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, so there's every chance you heard it on the radio or saw it at those Olympics.

[bobschenkel]

The video footage is all Australian, but the sound effect of the squeaky windmill is from the beginning of the Sergio Leone film "Once Upon A time In The West", a really great film you should check out. Lead Singer Peter Garrett, all 6'6" of him, eventually wound up being a member of the Australian government, and was instrumental in trying to restore tribal lands and rights to the Aboriginal tribes of the Australian Outback. Always trying to do the right thing.

[Shabenn]

Mr Garret there is 6'8" tall, has alopecia, is extremely intelligent, ran for public office in Australia and was successful, I think.
I could be wrong about that last one, I can't remember.
Interesting man, very good and interesting band.
Good reaction guys.

[selmaroberson]

as a australian aboriginal this song tugs at my heart

[Teagirl]

I think you missed/misinterpreted the meaning of the song. It's about a few things but native land title is the main. Compensation. Aboriginal Australian communities back in the day were forcibly removed from their land in Western Australia to make way for mining.
"The time has come to say fairs fair, to pay the rent, to pay our share. The time has come a facts a fact...it belongs to them... we're gonna give it back".
You can see Indigenous Australians throughout the video clip too.
The lyric "45 degrees" is in celsius, so that's 113F for context 🔥☀️

[gregoriphilips]

I really don't how many people know, one of best band from Austrelia, specially this song Beds are burning. It's 2024 I still listen them
