King of the Mountain - Lyrics
Walking through the high dry grass
Pushing my way through slow
Yellow belly black snake
Sleeping on a red rock
Waiting for the stranger to go
Sugar train stops at the crossing
Cane cockies cursing below
Bad storm coming
Better run to the top of the mountain
Mountain in the shadow of light
(Rain in the valley below)
Mountain in the shadow of light
(Rain in the valley...)
Well, you can say you're Peter
Say you're Paul
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall
Call me, king of the mountain
Blacksmith fires up the bellows
Cane cutters burning the load
Workers of the world
Run to the top of the mountain
Mountain in the shadow of light
(Rain in the valley below)
Mountain in the shadow of light
(Rain in the valley...)
Well, you can say you're Peter
Say you're Paul
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall
Call me, king of the mountain
I can't take the hands from my face
There are some things we can't replace
Mountain in the shadow of light
(Rain in the valley below)
Mountain in the shadow of light
Well, you can say you're Peter
Say you're Paul
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall
Call me, king of the mountain
Over liquid tarmac wastelands of cactus and heat
Down cobblestone alleyways of washing day sheets
Up ghost prairie mountains of sunset and space
Down the road a familiar face
Across the wilderness
Out further than the bush
I will follow you, I will follow you
I will follow you

I saw Midnight Oil in Chicago when I was 15 years old (1987) at the Aragon Ballroom and it changed my life. It was a school night, and had no drivers license, but had a friend a year older who was willing to drive into the city. Aboriginal people were on stage playing instruments I have never heard before. Midnight Oil has influenced me dedicate my career to helping improve the environment and the safety of employees in the workplace. Thank you Midnight Oil!
I think they opened a hell of a lot of eyes
And they still are
I only got into them a month or two ago and I love ‘em
@@rohcool323 it's never too late 😊
God bless you sir from Australia
BY FAR their most underrated song.
Liar
And their best
Stars of Warburton.
agree
This American has loved Midnight Oil for almost 30 years now :-)
sorry unless you saw then play in pubs here......... in their hey day ......you really dont understand
I like Paul Kelly
You should listen to Leaps and Bounds
From your fellow American
@@lornastrachan9234 That's a wanky thing to say....
@@fargeeks Unless you clipped Paul Kelly's toenails, you wouldn't understand... Please ref earlier comment by someone saying unless you saw midnight oil live you could never understand them.
argwyth you got good taste in music. Good on ya 👍
arguably one of the best bands to come out of the 80s.....and Australia!!!!
I remember coming across the oils in the late 80s and they changed my life. Listening to the lyrics puts you in Australia. I have just started to listen to their music again and the messages they portray are still relevant now.
Have a go at the 20,000watts RSL album brother it's brilliant
I so miss the 80's!
me too
@@dmariebella6309 Literally the best decade of my life!
R.I.P bones Hillman your in rock heaven now♥️
Right on my brother
Great bassist...great band....
Oh man.
Just found out today. Playing Oils in memory.
Have seen these fellas perform in concert 6 times. Drove from San Diego to Los Angeles once to see them, and saw them again next day in San Diego. Could not get enough. Hunters and collectors, another awesome Aussie band and to me one of best EVER rock groups, on the same bill. Pure heaven, that show... I recall just where I was in 1983, the first time I ever heard Oils coming out of my car speakers on 91X radio station in San Diego. Power and the passion. I was heading south on Kettner Bvd. It smacked me right in the face. I though holy shit! Who are these guys...? Tower records was close by. I drove right to there and bought that album. Had to hear more, and asap...
You have some great tastes. Always remember Doc Neeson from The Angels!! Holy shit
The change of format by 91X back in 1983 was literally a life saver for me. I had been in a deep funk for three YEARS at the time after two back to back break-ups and simply looking forward to listening to new sounds and bands from everywhere kept me distracted and interested. Midnight oil was one of them that provided interest. These bands had their own unique sounds and styles, and most of all they had what the late great Sam Cooke once said distinguished a good song from an unsuccessful one - HOOKS. In this one it's the "Raaaaaaaaaiiin in the valley below". Today's songs lack those hooks. I'll take the sounds from the '80s over those of the '70s and '90s. No contest.
One Aussie band I'd recommend you look into if you like these guys and Hunters and Collectors is Cold Chisel.
"Don't put me up on your bedroom wall" was always kinda funny to me because I had a Midnight Oil poster on the wall of my bedroom when I listened to this song every day.
+Marko Ramius Rebel.
It’s about what we believe in, our care for, and then our act upon that matters, that’s his point I feel. We may idolise our wise ones and they are only there to be before us, that where we can also be, in our ways~
Best memory of peter was Melbourne `1982ish, walking down the street outside, toward the parliament. My father refused to stop the car...May we may see more~ US
What a coincidence
Was it the Red Sails In The Sunset cover? Me too :-)
This song is about Mt. Cooroora, in the Noosa Hinterland In Queensland Australia in the town of Pomona. I have spoken to Robbie Hirst, Midnight Oil 's former drummer and he confirmed this. There is a foot race up Mt. Cooroora on the fourth Sunday of July every year called 'King of the Mountain’. Plus it’s part of a larger mountain range in the area and have spectacular views and large valleys where the mist rolls off the hills. The area surrounding Pomona contains many cane fields and the term ‘cane cockies’ refers to a farmer.
In Australia there are a number of cockies including cow cockies, cane cockies and wheat cockies. Cocky arose in the 1870s and is an abbreviation of cockatoo farmer. This was then a disparaging term for small-scale farmers, probably because of their habit of using a small area of land for a short time and then moving on, in the perceived manner of cockatoos feeding.
I saw these guys in Pittsburgh in '93. Still talk about it to this day with my brother. They made me dance, and I DO NOT dance lol
LOL...Yeah, they have that effect.
You Rock!
Did you dance like Peter Garret? Best dance ever.
Word up! Some need drugs to experience that
They had a go
Won't hear this from many Kiwis but this is one aussie band I would drink a steiny with. Cheers to the band for sticking up for the little people.
Love from Australia cuzzy
Bro I'm a kiwi and I'd love to sink a few steinys and have a good long yarn with them they are legends who used their platform to raise awareness on so many issues. Absolute champions
I think you'd hear this from an awful lot of Kiwis. First time for me was the DB Sandridge, Sydenham, Christchurch, NZ in 1981, I think. Most outstanding was the 10-to-1 show at the CHCH Town Hall in, maybe, 1983 or 4?? Also heard PG speak at Cant'y Uni in about '83; very impressive. I'd say that the correct attitude to strike is to consider Midnight Oil as being an 'antipodean band' rather than an Australian band (like, say, Cold Chisel - they can have them to themselves).
Ahh Cmon Bro your not still brewing because we took Dragon & Split Enz it was 40 years ago! You can have Rolf Harris back isn’t he a kiwi? Well he is now take him! lol
Greatest protest ever..... i was in grade 5 when our teacher showed us .. in class.. just right after the Exxon Valdez disaster oil spill... and i was in Papua New guinea..😎😎😎😎 Australian living treasures...
A band ahead of their time. saw them live four times....unbelievable energy and passion.
I'm Serbian,and i love them from the childhood.I have all albums of them.Unfortunately, in my country, very few people even know about them because they are not as frequent.
We certainly were bless to live in Australia during this time.
Check out other Aussie bands like Hunters and collectors.

Goanna .
As a fellow Serbian - Australian born, you have good taste, old school aussie bands are top ✌👌
I’m a fellow Serbian raised in Australia. When I was 20 I moved over there and introduced my whole extended family & friends to Midnight Oil and many other Australian bands! They fell in love with the music and felt a bit of Australian culture in them too. Pozdrav!
@@Sara-bv3nc yep old school Aussie bands are VRH! 🤘🏻💕
This American has loved Midnight Oil for almost 30 years now :-)
No 1 Australian rock band ever
Midnight Oil was my teens. I saw them live in Melbourne in 1982. It was my first concert and I was fifteen.
I saw them many times live, last time in Hobart, 2018. I was fifty one.
Awesome band.
Love those Americans in the crowd who pretty quickly realised they were hearing some excellent stuff and started rockin out! ✌✊
By far ome of the most underrated bands of the 80s!
The rhythmic flow of the lyrics in this song is just perfect. The choppy phrasing in the verses. The drawn out "raaaaaiiiiiiin in the valley" pre-chorus. "Say you're Peter / Say you're Paul". It's so catchy. I loved this as a little kid even when I had no idea what it was about. Lesson to all political bands: wrap your message in gorgeous pop hooks - that's how you get it out there.
Both the video and the song are so contagious: you're leaving your job after another boring job day and then you run into Midnight Oil playing FOR FREE!
As a kid I thought this was about Peter Brock. It'll always be Brocky's song for me.
and more than 20 years later oil is still king of the mountain
Goodbye Bones! RIP. Play on Midnight Oil!
We need your message & music now more than ever!
Martin Rotsey is one of the most criminally underrated guitarists ever.
God, every time I hear this song, I shiver with joy. It may be after years, it doesnt matter. This is one of the songs that will come together forever, until the end.
I love the fact they rock up out the front of Exxon-Mobil @ the WTC in New York City and tell them how it is in the form of some of the best songs ever written. 😎🤘✊
influenced my band ...thats for sure ....see if you can spot it ruclips.net/video/VjxLtraxGTU/видео.html
im american i do get it .i have seen the oil live twice and have been a fan since 1981.have all midnight oils albums
I only discovered this band recently, and i cannot get enough of them. Being a teenager in todays modern generation, I wish more bands would be more like this. Sing about the troubles of our world, to try and sway opinion to fix these troubles. But everything is about money anymore
unfortunately that ship has sailed, thanks to the devalue-ing of music in today's short-attention spanned internet culture. Anything of substance is passed over for someone shaking their ass or whatever pop-country teen idol is the flavor of the day
Don't feel bad. I remember 'Beds Are Burning' from when I was a wee little tyke, and decades later giving them a good listen. Now I'm hooked like a crackhead on payday. To me, this is who U2 wishes they were!
Shaun Hamilton so true shaun it was never about the money it was about getting the message through
You don't look hard enough. You aren't edgy and cool if you scratch the surface and then tell everyone else about how hard your "struggles" are.
Dont get to excited. Peter got into politics and ruined his reputation royaly
There's only 1 king of the mountain,Peter Brock!
I'm a Ford fan,Go dick Johnson
The Green Machine
This song playing over loud speaker at Bathurst while Peter Brock flew across the top of the mountain. Just beautiful
Rob Hurst has to be one of the best Aussie drummer... ever!!!! Love Midnight Oil.
I started listening to the Oils as a kid, I'm 32 now! still jamming to them. glad to be going to their last ever tour
3:12 That section, to when it ends on "out further than the bush, I will follow you"...is just phenomenal genius vocal phrasing by Garrett!
this song makes cry every time I hear it.
OILs forever
Thank god there are people like the 'Oils' that care about the serious issues affecting people and raise awareness by producing songs like this.
I was lucky enough to discover them on my trip to Austrailia in the 80's and then being able to see them in concert and meet up with them over the years.On their last world tour I was able to have my son meet them twice as they came through Seattle. These were show's we will never forget.
Randy...check my aussie band too ...you might dig it as we were very influenced by them ruclips.net/video/VjxLtraxGTU/видео.html
Mate we get to see them into days to.e I can t wait it's been a long ti.e since I seen them ply
God bless from Australia
Songs by the Oils make me DAMN proud to be australia....I really wish the message was spread further. Good to see folks from an international audience viewing their videos though.
Few 80's bands really stand up to time. Midnight Oil is one that does, magnificently.. In some ways they are as fresh, and as urgent, as they were 40 years ago.
I was there....great concert, great times, back in the day....... the Oils were a group born of their time, along with all those amazing Aussie bands we use to go to the pub to listen to on a sunday arvo....
This video is from their Midnight Oil - Black Rain Falls taken on May 30, 1990. I had to dig up my Laser Disc to check. Peter Garrett had all proceeds from the sales of this album donated to Greenpeace.
His band drove up in front of Exxon Oil Headquarters at noon time in midtown Manhattan on a Flat Bed that day for a special Guerilla Action of which would be a live recording. Their banner reading "Midnight Oil Makes You Dance, Exxon Oil Makes Us Sick."
This song is fantastic and the backing vocals really make it great. The musical hooks in this song well it speaks for itself. Miss the good Aussie bands we had so many once upon a time. Midnight oil, Hunter and collectors, AC/DC, INXS, The saints, Neil fin, Nick Cave, the list really goes on. I'm sure there is some great bands around now they get drowned out by garbage all over youtube and other areas unfortunately.
....don't know about the rest but pretty sure Neil Finn is a New Zealander
You would like aTb
This song brings me back to the golden era of the Walk About -Shepherds Bush -London 😁
I grew up in the 70s and 80s, the best times and music, trust me!! Now 53 I would go back lol
just discovered this. born in 93
I am in love.
I'm starting to love this band
I was a fan waaaay back when they broke in the states- and I still love em- they were way ahead of anything back then and their music translates quite nicely in 2010. You guys ROCK.
What a ripper. Pure energy captured in 4 minutes.
Seeing these guys in just a few days for their final ever Aussie tour. Can't wait!
Goodbye Holden and RIP Peter Brock, King of the Mountain.
I always thought it funny how this song has nothing to do with Brockie or the mountain, but the lyrics just fit so well lol
Dam stright,,only one King of the Mountain. ...Brockie
I'm starting to love this band
Never to late to start loving Midnight oil!
I've seen you on 2 of their videos now XD
I've told you so, they're great
wow! it's about time!!! looolll!
the time has come
Agree -- I seen hundreds of bands but seeing Midnight Oil Live still has stuck with me all these years later -- Ive seen U2, Stones, AC/DC,GNR, and all the other great bands...

Midnight Oil are truly something special ❤️ we need more bands like them that sing about the big issues. Loved them my whole life - my dad played their stuff when he drove me around as a kid
"King of the Mountain was inspired by the footrace up Mt Cooroora in SE Qld, and the incredible natural beauty and unique history of the Noosa hinterland; it is not a reference to motor racing at Mt. Panorama in Bathurst. Best wishes.” - Rob Hirst (drummer for Midnight Oil)
the Aussies really caught magic in a bottle in the 80s with Midnight Oil and INXS. FAB.
ACDC too!
They really put on a good show - and powerful lyrics to boot!
Aye...they did ....so do we! ruclips.net/video/VjxLtraxGTU/видео.html
Great stuff from the best Aussie band! They did an Outback tour in mid-80s= down under video! Thanks, Peter. We miss you songsters!.
I was raised on this music, still awesome today in 2018, and the message is not lost it's probably more relevant than ever tbh
Onde estão as bandas que cantam por uma razão verdadeira e inteligente? Midnight Oil eternamente em meu coração.
Como dizia minha avó... hoje em dia não se faz música como antigamente.
Asi sera algun dia mi querido amigo👍👍👍

Melhor banda do mundo!!!!!
Sao amados no Brasil !!!!
Onde assino?
São adorados com certeza
Sensacional!
Peter arrasa! 👍✌
first time i listened to diesel and dust i was blown away, and i've been a fan ever since. i wore out the blue sky mining cassette when i was deployed in desert storm. too bad the world wasn't ready for them.
Another GREAT Band from the 80's.
Back in 1997 when i was 15 my Grandmother died of a heart attack suddenly. I was due to compete against the year 12's in the school athletics carnival i wasn't going to compete but after listening to this song i was so motivated i wasn't only going to compete, i was going to win. I won and Australia's leading racecaller Matty Hill who was a colleague called me a courageous boy then even better my Dad was in tears when i won. Peter Garrett is a true Australian icon and even better vocalist.
Yeah and then you woke up. Nice dream,
@@Louis-kp7pz Ok
He has climbed the most difficult mountain of all and is trying not to sell his soul and I have to admire him..
One of my favourite Oil songs, what a trailblazer.
I've seen them 10 times .. we need them now!
Even if you're pushed to the wall, for the things you believe in, you don't give in. Nicely said, Peter!! I like that. I love Midnight Oil. Such a totally awesome band!! "KEEP ROCKING, AUSTRALIA!!"

One of my favorites by the Oils; especially the crisp drumming and Rickenbacker “jingle jangle”
🌊🏄aloha.. issaaaaa !! Esses caras são d mais.. q som e esse mano.. m lembra 1989 eu querendo aula pra ir surfa.. Issa aloha.. viva lá vida.. nossa.. como eu gosto deles.. quem concorda da um Issa aí !!🌊🏄
oh my what a great band
In the middle of the continent USA where everyone's out to sea, lovin that people put the Oils on the Tube! Love em.
"Yellow Belly red Snake sleep'n on a red rock, wait'n for the stranger to go.........BRILLIANT
Make that yellow belly black snake sleeping on a red rock....
So let me get this straight. The band against oil company's played a concert outside of the exxon oil HQ? I have a newfound respect for midnight oil.
Why newfound? That's what they were ALWAYS about!!!
Im 50 followed them all my life they dont hide from anything now in 2018 i hope more people are starting to understand ho phrofetic they are. Thr barrier reef is dying, the world is cooking, there is a maniac in charge of the bombs. Holy crap baldy was right.
I wonder if Rex Tillerson was listening.
You can't see it clearly in this video, but there's a banner above the truck stage that says "MIDNIGHT OIL MAKES YOU DANCE / EXXON OIL MAKES US SICK"
They played the concert after and in response to the Exxon Valdez spill
When were kids,we used imitate Peter's crazy manic dance when the their song's would come on TV .....pretending to be like him.LOL : /
Hah! Us too. w'ed do shows at school in religion class,tape recorder,lipsynch & all the peter garrett moves
ha ha ha cheers
same lol geez im 50 now lol
He kind of danced like Ian Curtis a lil bit, no?
Didn't we all

The best Aussie band ever, if you saw them live, you know what I mean
+Henry Hammer hell yeah, never ever give in. Quitters never win, winners never quit.
Seen them live. Great but INXS better live. Hutchence was the best on stage performer, as good as anyone ever.
Henry Hammer
the Day Michael Hutchence passed away Australia lost a true Star
+Simon Clements yep, Oils are awesome - seen many times over the years - but just gotta say - INXS at the Sydney Entcent in October 1988, first concert back in Oz after the global KICK tour......................,,..,,,,,,spine tingling - Michael and the boys were ON FIRE💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🐝
hands down, i agree from south Am
This man is a true shaman in the postmodern world.
Thank you Midnight Oil. Legends.
RIP brocky this 1"s for you bro
Now you can call me, king of dodgy insulation.
See you in Dublin, June 2019. Can't wait.
Fab Band ! Great Song ! Merci Beacoup Sweet Jane ! X ♥
I was just listening to this the other day. RIP Bones. You were a funny and talented man.
Me encanta este grupo musical australiano.
Sus letras son comprometidas y el sonido de su música es puro.

I am in love.
you're in the correct way
If you like the oil look my video oils
Born in '70 here. Music is ageless now.
@MrKayaker69 go one album back - the album before they changed their name from Flowers to Icehouse. If KOM is rockin' Jordin's sox off, they'll probably get a blast out of songs like "Walls", "Skin" and (if they can find it) the original Aussie LP version of "Can't Help Myself".
You are never too old or young to enjoy the Oils.
Whoever directed this video = genius. This was way ahead of its time. How it was shot, edited. I remember it came out in 1989 after the Exxon Valdez spill....32 years ago when MTV still played music videos.
The year was 1990, i had my first job in Auckland, New Zealand at a place that made refigerator doors. This song and about 3 others from the same album were played on the works radio daily. When i hear them now it takes me back to those days. I was 16 then, now im 45 and living in England. Time goes quick.
Peter Brock The King!
One of the greatest bands to come out of oz
just flat-out "WOW"....miss ya boys- and the time x
