>or merely heard of.  Any additions or corrections would be appreciated....

>>To my knowledge, these song titles have been associated with the Oils at
>>some point or another, and are supposedly Midnight Oil Originals:
>>
>>1) Set Me Down Easy and/or Nothing is Easy - possibly the same song;
>>    supposedly predated RSITS (on a 1978 bootleg as Turn My Head Around?)
>>    and was jettisoned thereafter, unrecorded.
>>
>>2) Eye Contact - a Head-Injuries-era track that was never released, but
>>    was played live in 1980 and at the Narrabeen Sands gig in 1996.  That
>>    performance (no vocals) was released on The Real Thing single.  The
>>    early version with wordless vocals is available on bootlegs from 1980.
>>
>>3) Wedding Cake Island, WITH VOCALS - exists only in Hirst's collection
>>
>>4) I Want To Live Here - available on VERY RARE bootleg of stolen RSITS
>>    demo tape.  Thematically similar to Harrisburg, scrapped without
>>    release though the opening riff was recycled into Bullroarer.
>>
>>5) Stand Your Ground - 2001 song found on some live bootlegs.  Never
>>    recorded or released.
>>
>>6) Parking Station Blues - from RSITS demo tape, like IWTLH.  Scrapped.
>>
>>7) Birdman (aka Birdie?) - unreleased instrumental? Played live in 19??
>>
>>8) 40,000 Years Come Home - submitted along with TDH and BAB for the film
>>    "Uluru: An Anangu Story".  (TDH was used, it and BAB wound up on DAD)
>>
>>9) Ensemble - unreleased track from a 1978 bootleg, part of the music was
>>    re-used for Back On The Borderline.
>>
>>10/11/12) an unreleased song from the RSitS demos, and two unreleased
>>           songs from the PWaP demos, that I don't have titles for.
>>           Scrapped, but available on the bootlegged demo tapes (this also
>>           applies to 13, 14, & 15, listed below)
>>
>>13) Khartoum - an unreleased demo from PWaP.  Scrapped.
>>
>>14) Sad Dog Eyes - an unreleased demo from 1985.  Scrapped.
>>
>>15) Bakerman, WITH VOCALS - RSitS demo, scrapped.
>>
>>Then, there's the song titles associated with the Oils that are NOT
>>unreleased originals, many of which I've listed below to get them out
>>of the way for this discussion:
>>
>>1) Warm Babies, Haulaway, Free My Soul - renamed and released on the
>>    Redneck Wonderland album, as Safety Chain Blues, CPOTC, and Concrete
>>
>>2) Kids = informal name for No Time For Games, from Bird Noises
>>
>>3) Postcard = informal name for Brave Faces, from Place Without a Postcard
>>
>>4) various live covers, including What's so Funny (about peace, love and
>>    understanding)?, Know Your Product, We Gotta Get Out Of This Place,
>>    Instant Karma, And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda, & Sweet Georgia
>>    Brown (a jazz instrumental), Telstar, Advance Australia Fair, Echo
>>    Beach, Comfortably Numb, Riders on the Storm, The Good Son, Highway
>>    to Hell (opening part, anyway) Locomotive Breath, Wharf Rat, Atomic
>>    Electric, Crossroads, the occasional Beatles snippet, etc
>>
>>5) Emu - a didgeriidoo instrumental played by a guest-starring didg player
>>    (Charlie McMahon) on a tour date in 1984... not written by the Oils
>>
>>6) Dingle Without a Postcard - mis-naming of Brave Faces from the old
>>    double-lp bootleg "Wilderness"
>>
>>7) Runaway Bay - played on the Blackfella/Whitefella tour, resurfaced on
>>    the Grostwriters debut album
>>
>>8) O'Cannon - renamed World That I See, released on Capricornia
