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!

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 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).

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...

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

This song playing over loud speaker at Bathurst while Peter Brock flew across the top of the mountain. Just beautiful

Although many people think the song is a reference to Peter Brock and the Bathurst 1000 held at Mount Panorama, drummer Rob Hirst confirmed the song is actually inspired by the footrace up Mount Cooroora and the surrounding natural beauty and unique history of the Noosa hinterland

As a kid I thought this was about Peter Brock. It'll always be Brocky's song for me.

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!
