Artist/Band: Midnight Oil
Lyrics for Song: Too Much Sunshine
Lyrics for Album: Capricornia [2001]



Haven't had so much fun since my daddy took the V8 away

Light a spark in the dark, take a mark, it's resurrection day

It's a breeze, Timorese, APEC speak, wear batik, seen not heard

Well, we do the same things that we always do

Nothing changes but the color changes hue

I don't come to bury you

The trouble is with you

We got too much sunshine

We got too much sunshine

We got too much sunshine

Have you ever built your house in a town called Piss-it-away

You were dreaming of marinas with a crown, you were king for a day

Saw a man with a reason, any season, got a bird in his hand

Well, we do the same things that we always do

Nothing changes but the channel changes view

Well, the trouble with you has been

You can sleep, but you can't dream

We got too much sunshine

We got too much sunshine

We got too much sunshine

We got too much sunshine

Too much sunshine

Too much sunshine

We got too much sunshine

We got too much sunshine

We got too much sunshine

We got too much sunshine


Too Much Sunshine

Midnight Oil's 'Too Much Sunshine' stands as a defining anthem of the Australian anti-nuclear movement, released on the 2001 compilation 'Capricornia.' The track exemplifies the band's signature blend of hard rock and protest music, utilizing driving rhythms and Mick Harvey's distinctive vocals to deliver a message of environmental urgency. While the song gained international recognition for its political stance, it remains a cornerstone of the Australian punk and new wave scene, reflecting the group's commitment to social justice. The recording captures the high-energy sound typical of the early 2000s era, serving as a powerful reminder of the movement's impact on global consciousness.
