Enola Gay

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

Enola Gay

You should have stayed at home yesterday

Ah-ha, words can't describe

The feeling and the way you lied

These games you play

They're gonna end in more than tears some day

Ah-ha, Enola Gay

It shouldn't ever have to end this way

It's 8:15

And that's the time that it's always been

We got your message on the radio

Conditions normal and you're coming home

Enola Gay

Is mother proud of little boy today?

Ah-ha, this kiss you give

It's never ever going to fade away

Enola Gay

It shouldn't ever have to end this way

Ah-ha, Enola Gay

It shouldn't fade in our dreams away

It's 8:15

And that's the time that it's always been

We got your message on the radio

Conditions normal and you're coming home

Enola Gay

Is mother proud of little boy today?

Ah-ha, this kiss you give

It's never ever going to fade away

Enola Gay, aeronave americana, lançou a bomba atómica sobre a cidade de Hiroshima, no Japão, a 6 de agosto de 1945. Foi assim nomeada em homenagem a Enola Gay Tibbets, mãe do piloto, Paul Tibbets. A bomba chamada "little boy", explodiu a aproximadamente 600 metros do solo, causando uma onda de calor de mais de 4.000 ºC num raio de cerca de 4,5 km.
