Anyone know the name of this song?

Hey Guys!

I found this song on a MP3 disc that my friend gave me...i've got some lyrics..anyone know it?

Chorus

How can we dance when i heard u turning
How can we sleep when the beds are burning
How can we dance when i heard u turning
How can we sleep when the beds are burning

The time has come to say fairs fair...the time has come!

I'm kinda guessing that its called The Time Has Come...anyone know the artist?

Anyhelp appreciated!

Cheers
Gryff

Unfortunately Peter Garret is a big spidery idiot


Also wow, french and scottish people have heard of midnight oil? I never realised they got far out of aus.

Its my gym exercise song...gets u all ready for action n'all!

lol...yes Midnight Oil is pretty big in these parts..especially that song!

Yep, Midnight Oil....Beds are Burning. It's about the plight of the Maori's in Austrailia/NZ if I remember right...something to that effect...

The lead singer is an exceptionally intelligent guy (saw an interview with him once)....

He is Peter Garret, and hes just good at pretending to be intelligent.

That video always bugged me. Free concert for Maoris!

They look like: huh?

Hehe....fair enough. The interview I saw was when the song was first out, hehe.....

*falls off his dinosaur and breaks his stone underwear*

Does anyone else think the lead singer (Peter Garrett) looked like this Hollywood bit actor Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes, The Crow, Weird Science, etc) ?

Peter Garrett

Michael Beryman


Sorry, this is one of my strange quirks...matching similar looking people...(O.C.D. strikes again ! )

Cool. I have an OCD tick too. Except I hear other songs being ripped off in new songs.

And looking for all "new" actors as walk ons in old episodes of Seinfeld and X-Files. Everyone was on one or both you know.

The gateway shows used to be Soap and Benson.

He never got in.

1984 Peter ran unsuccessfully as a Senate candidate for the Nuclear Disarmament Party in the Federal Election.

2. The indigenous population of New Zealand may have been the Moriori. Accoring to popular history they were supplanted by the Maori tribes.

There is no comparison between the appearance, histories or cultures of Aboriginals and Maoris, at all.

You can still find Moriori on the Chatham Islands, you know.. When I heard that I was like, damn, I thought the Maori ate them all... (j/k)

Like MA said, Maori have no affiliation with Abo's. They're Polynesian, not Micronesian, not Australian, Polynesian.

My idea of best Maori vocalist, Tiki Tanae of Kaikoura. Known for membership in the bands Supergroove, Salmonella Dub and Concorde Dawn. I love NZ music. It's so incredibly unique. Except for this new wave of polynesian "hip-hop" thats going on with the likes of Che Fu and King Kapisi. Come on guys, be original! Show the world dat kiwi ingenuity.

I know of the differences, just I wasn't sure which one he was advocating....Maoris or Aboriginals...

Sorry, this is one of my strange quirks...matching similar looking people...(O.C.D. strikes again ! )

I have a buddy who does this, but more for people who look like combinations of others....as in "that person looks like _______ and _______ had a love child", hehe...
