Biography

Rock band formed in Sydney, Australia, in 1972. The Midnight Oil lineup remained quite stable over the band's long career: Peter Garrett as lead singer (and, early on, synthesizer), Jim (James) Moginie on guitar and keyboards, Martin Rotsey on guitar, and Rob (Robert) Hirst on drums. Andrew "Bear" James, the first bass player, left in 1979, replaced by Peter Gifford, who left in 1987 to be replaced by New Zealander Bones Hillman (born Wayne Stevens), ex-[a=The Swingers], who remained with the group until its dissolution in 2002. [a=Gary Morris (2)] was the band's manager and effective sixth member (often credited with the simple title "Business" on albums) throughout. Hillman succumbed to cancer in November 2020.

LYRICS

Wherever the wind blows
When it blows over the sea
The moon's sitting high
Waves will rise
Water shapes
Waves will take you, take you there

Surf's up tonight

Summers on hold
It will go running away
You've gotta move now
Get inside
Take that dive
Get inside today

Surf's up tonight
Now I was lonely
And you were too
I met you down at the waterline

Now there's something we can do
Now there's something left to do
Oh yeah

Surf's up tonight

Wherever you are
When you're coming over land
There's a place where you can throw it away
There's a place you can forget
You get wet, it's free
You get high, you're alive

Surf's up tonight
Come on up tonight
Surf's up tonight
