Midnight Oil by Chartreuse Lyrics
[Verse 1: Michael Wagstaff with Harriet Wilson]
For a neighbour, I could do it for free
Milk, sugar, bad company
Well, I'm a young man, I just wanna lend a hand
I could fix that
Coffee tastes better made by somebody you shared a bed with
Pour a little cup and I hope you know you could tell me anything
[Chorus: Michael Wagstaff & Harriet Wilson, Michael Wagstaff]
Burnin' the midnight oil
Burnin' the midnight oil
Burnin' the midnight oil
Burning, burning
[Verse 2: Michael Wagstaff with Harriet Wilson]
I think I buried myself today
In this dirty room thinking about you
Wishing I was there or reminded I'm here
My love is such a grievous thing
Oh, I won't sleep tonight, it seems
For a neighbour, could you do it for free?
Stop talking, just listen to me
Well, I'm a young man, I just don't understand
Am I the only one that feels like this?
Wishin' I was there or reminded I'm here
Or wishin' I was there or reminded I'm here
[Chorus: Michael Wagstaff & Harriet Wilson, Michael Wagstaff]
Burnin' the midnight oil
Burnin' the midnight oil
Burnin' the midnight oil
Burning, burning, ooh, ooh
For a neighbour, I could do it for free
Milk, sugar, bad company
Well, I'm a young man, I just wanna lend a hand
I could fix that
Coffee tastes better made by somebody you shared a bed with
Pour a little cup and I hope you know you could tell me anything
[Chorus: Michael Wagstaff & Harriet Wilson, Michael Wagstaff]
Burnin' the midnight oil
Burnin' the midnight oil
Burnin' the midnight oil
Burning, burning
[Verse 2: Michael Wagstaff with Harriet Wilson]
I think I buried myself today
In this dirty room thinking about you
Wishing I was there or reminded I'm here
My love is such a grievous thing
Oh, I won't sleep tonight, it seems
For a neighbour, could you do it for free?
Stop talking, just listen to me
Well, I'm a young man, I just don't understand
Am I the only one that feels like this?
Wishin' I was there or reminded I'm here
Or wishin' I was there or reminded I'm here
[Chorus: Michael Wagstaff & Harriet Wilson, Michael Wagstaff]
Burnin' the midnight oil
Burnin' the midnight oil
Burnin' the midnight oil
Burning, burning, ooh, ooh
