I think the song One Country from Blue Sky Mining seals the deal by suggesting - what does the listener think about what is really going on?

It's a great song that. There's a song called
Renaissance Man on
Earth and Sun and Moon which is a lot like that. I just love how their lyrics really make you think about this sort of stuff, and the Oils have this way of making the music powerful enough to give it all some more substance - it's why Peter Garret's vocal style works so well.
Put Down That Weapon's a fantastic song, and a great example of what I'm on about. My favourite on the album at the moment's probably
Sell My Soul, but it goes without saying that that changes a lot.
