Two sticks in the Powderworks
Beat me to it DE. You posted one of their best, but there are many more. The Oils were notable for writing very political songs despite having a hard core audience of young working class & lower middle class men with little interest in such issues (especially aboriginal rights). How did they do it? Damned fine rock & roll & incendiary live performances!
One from their first album, and my favourite oils track. 'There's a shit storm a comin" is one of the best opening lines of any song.
inspired by the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior by the French government.
...unfortunately this song remains as true as ever
and a wonderful evocation of the struggle of Australian Aboriginies.
