I can't believe the perfect family on my colour TV. If I don't make it to the top it'll never bother me.' Ah, but make it to the top they did, and with grace and integrity. This is vintage Oils, with the unforgettable title track dominating the show. Don't Wanna Be the One (from which the above lyrics were taken) is a stomper, while Lucky Country tells it like it is.
"Place Without A Postcard" is the third studio album by the renowned Australian rock band Midnight Oil, released in 1981. This CD edition, produced by Sony, captures the band's raw energy and politically charged lyrics that have become their trademark. The album features standout tracks such as "Armistice Day," "If Ned Kelly Was King," and "Don't Wanna Be the One," showcasing a blend of post-punk vigor and melodic hooks. Midnight Oil's music often addresses social justice issues, environmental concerns, and Australian identity, making them one of the most influential bands from Down Under.
Midnight Oil formed in Sydney in 1976 and quickly rose to prominence with their intense live performances and commitment to activism. Their breakthrough came with albums like "Diesel and Dust" (featuring the global hit "Beds Are Burning") and they are celebrated for their passionate advocacy on behalf of Indigenous Australians and environmental causes. Over decades, they've earned ARIA Awards, international acclaim, and a loyal fanbase worldwide.
