"Tell Me the Truth" comes from Earth and Sun and Moon, the album Midnight Oil released in 1993, and it was written by Peter Garrett and Jim Moginie. The band produced it with Nick Launay, who also mixed it and recorded it alongside Brent Clark, and the result is lean and direct, no gloss where muscle will do. One station's listeners kept pulling it back onto their countdowns well into the next decade.
