Enola Gay (Version 1)

OMD - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the dark

Enola Gay (Version 1) (Original Version)

"On the 6th of august 1945,
the boeing b-29 super fortress
took off the Tinian islands in the Pacific,
carrying an awesome new weapon
weighing almost 10,000 lbs,
and containing 140 pounds of deadly uranian 235.''

''The bomb was code-named ''Little Boy''.

''The target for the mission... Hiroshima".

Enola Gay
You should have stayed at home yesterday
Oh oh it can't describe
The feeling and the way you lied

These games you play
They're gonna end it all in tears someday
Oh oh 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
Oh oh, this kiss you give
It's never ever gonna fade away

"The bombload was released over its target at 09:15 hours
at an altitude of 31,000 ft.
Little boy exploded 800 ft above the target
with the equivalent force of 20,000 tons of TNT.''

Pilot: "Now I`m become death, the destroyer of worlds."

Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way
Oh oh 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
Oh oh, this kiss you give
It's never ever gonna fade away
