Orchestra Manoeuvre In The Dark - Enola Gay (1980)

Sur un air dansant, la chanson parle d’un sujet grave puisque l'Enola Gay était le nom du bombardier B-29 qui a laissé tomber la première bombe atomique "Little Boy" sur la ville japonaise d'Hiroshima à 8h15 le 06 août 1945. Le pilote avait baptisé l'avion ainsi en hommage à sa mère qui porte le même nom.

Paroles :

Enola Gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday

Oho it can't describe the feeling and the way you lied

These games you play, they're gonna end it all in tears someday

Oho Enola Gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way

It's 8:15, that's the time that it's always been

We got your message on the radio, condition's normal and you're coming home

Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today

Oho, this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away

Enola Gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way

Oho Enola Gay, it should've faded our dreams away

It's 8:15, oh that's the time that it's always been

We got your message on the radio, condition's normal and you're coming home

Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today

Oho, this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away
