something apt
Feb. 25th, 2003 04:26 pmThis song was written at the height of the tensions between America and the USSR, along with Two Tribes and several other anti-nuclear protest songs, it captured the spirit of the moment, and now with the way the world is, it seems apt again.
Screaming Jets
by Johnny Warman feat Peter Gabriel
Last night as I was dreaming
I saw the sky was bleeding
I heard the screaming Jets
dum dum dum de dum
Last night the world was crying
I heard the children dying
chorus
I heard the screaming jets
dum dum dum de dum
midnight
No more no more
again
No more no more
dum dum dum de dum
change
Last night as I was crying
I heard the world was dying
Theres a ring around the sun
and it looks as if we're going back
to where it all begun
chorus
I heard the screaming Jets
light
No more no more
again
no more no more
dum dum dum de dum
chorus
I heard the screaming Jets
again
I heard the screaming Jets
again
I heard the screaming Jets
dum dum dum de dum
we die
we fight
we die
to fight
to fight
huh
armageddon
armageddon huh
armageddon
armageddon huh
(repeat 5 )
