Hoodoo Gurus - I Was A Kamikaze Pilot Lyrics
I was a, was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it
Taught how to take off, I don't know how to land
They say it doesn't matter and I just cannot understand
I was a kamikaze pilot
Left my happy homeland in a Zero
Got engine trouble so I couldn't be a hero
Do you think I care?
Now I'll keep my two feet on the ground
'Cause when you're in the clouds
Everybody tries to shoot you down
I was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it home
I couldn't fly it home
On an island there ain't too much to do
Look after number one because I think
I can see Lee Marvin chasin' after you
I was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it home
I couldn't fly it home
I couldn't fly it home
Cherry blossoms falling down
Cherry blossoms falling down
Cherry blossoms falling down
Cherry blossoms falling down

This song will be the legacy of Hoodoo Gurus in 100 years time.
Maybe not the legacy, but by fuck it is a great tune. Can't believe I never heard it before.

Late show Manzill Room Kings Cross from Fortune of War in The Rocks then upstairs Barrons. a Sydney Friday night
movie title? thanks
"For Those We Love"
Still love this 25 years after I first heard the song.
Excellent job man!
They did an intro back in the 80s for MTV for "I Want You Back". All the band members looked like serious drug users, and Faulkner looked like a burnout waiting to happen...
So Dave and one of the others gets on the screen and they say:
(member): "We're the Hoodoo Gurus!"
(Dave): "On MTV!"
(member): "Who Are You?"
(Dave): "And what are you on?"
ROTFLMAO.
Foo Bar+ Rick Grossman who joined in '87/'88 was a junkie even before he joined Divinyls in '82.
Epic!!!!!
Great job!
"For Those We Love"
Perfect video to match...but where's the video from?
