Trying to ID a song I heard on DC-101 on Sunday, maybe around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. I'm pretty sure it's an 80's tune, but I've never known the tune or the artist. The only line I remember goes something like,

"How can I be dancing when your (our?) beds are burning?"

I'd appreciate some help in naming this tune! Danke!

Jeff

The answer my friend, rather than blowing in the wind is this.

That song is, appropriately enough, "Beds Are Burning" from an Austrialian group called Midnight Oil. The song can be found on the 1988 record Diesel and Dust.

Diesel and Dust on Amazon

First: I can't believe you've never heard it before!
Second: POE Baby Jesus is a member of flare??? You didn't tell me, and he didn't either, in the field. As who?

And what's with the allcapps for an old tune from a one-hit band of the eighties??? :-)

Nim:

Yes, I've heard the song before. Just never known the artist.

No, (PoE)BabyJesus isn't a member of Flare. I just thought that would get people's attention.

Hm... I thought the "baby Jesus" thing was just a joke, and that you were saying that Poe is your god...

Is that the song that goes:

"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
We've got to give it back" ?

I think I've heard it.
It's supposed to be about Australian Aboriginal rights, innit?

(Either that or taxes...)

That's the song.

You know, funny, I burned a CD with the song, and was listening to it today, and thinking, "Jesus, why haven't the Republicans used this song to rally about tax cuts ...?"

When I listen to a song I think about love and death and beauty and great masses of rock whirling silently through the inky blackness of space.

Thinking about how a song could be used in a political campaign is the saddest thing in the world since Julius Caeser loaned Brutus his favorite dagger.

It was just an odd thought, triggered by remembering Reagan's attempt to use Springsteen's "Born in the USA" (I guess he never read those lyrics...) for the Republican Convention in ... '79, wasn't it?

Must've been '84. That song wasn't around in '79.

"Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It?s us. Only us."

I forgot which convention Reagan wanted it for. Silly me.
