Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning

Las camas arden...será el calor? será la siesta que me he echado? ...

Los temas estos días me vienen por asociación. Mientras escribo y a la vez veo el mar, recuerdo aquellas canciones y grupos que descubri aquí mismo hace ya bastantes años, y uno de ellos fue este. Un primo mío me paso una cassete, junto a otras y así como yo le presentaba grupos españoles, el me enseñaba cosas que yo en aquellos dias no conocía. Recuerdo una cinta de Kitaro, otra de Phil Collins (creo que Not Jacket requiered) y otra de Kate Bush. Esa asociación me trae hasta vosotros a estos australianos y su rock tan carcateristico. Ya los puse en otra ocasión con aquel otro éxito Blue Sky Mine. La de hoy, letra con alegato ecológico para pensar un poco.

Pues nada...a pasar el día...



"Out where the river broke
The bloodwood 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 Kintyre 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, ah
To pay our share
The time has come, ah
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 the 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."
