Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Enola Gay Lyrics






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 going to end in more than tears some day
Ah-ha Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way

It's eight fifteen
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 eight fifteen
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

  14. Z.... ....

  16. m.... h....

    I hate how my parents grew up with good music like this and I’m here growing up with terrible music like Cardi B

    m.... h....

    mad hanger You have to dig outside radio friendly and top 40. Find yourself what you want to listen to; don’t let them decide or you. And this applies to all decades...

    m.... h....

    Although good songs are harder to find these days, it’s important to remember all periods in time had good and bad music. It’s just that mainly the good music from the past is remembered, thus making it seem like all music from the past was great.

  17. 2.... F....

    Who`s listening in 2020?

  18. t.... V....

    Istalense frefire y escuche al mismo tiempo la 🎶

  28. N.... H....

    This is the name of the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The plane was called the Enola Gay

    N.... H....

    Yep, it was named after the pilot's mother. "Little boy" was the codename of the bomb, and "8.15" was the time in Hiroshima when the bomb detonated.

  29. W.... C....

    Melodia muito boa,a letra melhor ainda!!

  30. D.... 5....

    OMG its OMD

    D.... 5....

    I see what you did there XD

  31. r.... ....

    Brilliant lyrics. "This kiss you give, is never ever going to fade away..." When we think of that kiss, which blinded, mutilated, burned and vaporised countless thousands of people, it still gives me goose bumps, nearly 40 years later.

  32. L.... ....

    Sin lugar a dudas, el nacimiento del Bajo 😩😩😬 jajaja

  33. C.... K....

    When we talk about the 80's this is The Song

  35. w.... ....

    Man...I just received a message from the eighties...the eighties say: "We wanna come back"...will we accept???

    w.... ....

    well, it certainly feels like the 80's again, the devastation of thatchers reign, extreme poverty, and a constant sense of dread that the world is gonna end, and the doomsday clock at 2 minutes to midnight
    I'm still waiting for the creatives to come and make great music and art though

    w.... ....

    Me in the eighties

    w.... ....

    But tell the shoulder pads to stay put. Lol

    I thought shoulder pads were happening again, back again these days? Haaahah ;-}

  36. �.... �....

  37. R.... R....

    Proof that synthetic instruments don't matter when the quality of the melody is there

    R.... R....

    Well that's a matter of opinion.

  38. I.... K....

    TYPICAL SONG FROM THE COLD WAR ERA

    1973 presente 2019 che tempi vera musica

  56. p.... m....

    "Enola Gay" est le nom du bombardier qui a largué la bombe atomique sur Hiroshima. Et "little boy" (dont il parle à la fin de la chanson) est le nom donné à la bombe. En fait la chanson dénonce l'utilisation de la bombe atomique.

    p.... m....

    C'est de la 3ème ça ._.

    p.... m....

    @Le Breton Je suis déjà tombée sur des personnes qui pensaient que la chanson racontait une histoire d'amour...

    p.... m....

    @pink mandalorian Ça s'appelle le New Waves

  57. v.... 7....

    The 80s had such a special music that reminds me the time I was at a young age at my friends birthday in a very big and colorful room and dancing to songs like this

  58. p.... w....

    Leonard Cheshire......was the navigator on board the enola gay......after he so the bomb dropped he went home & started.......The Leonard Cheshire homes......how do I know this I hear you ask.......I bumped into his good friend BRIGADIER JOHN REAGAN.....MANY YEARS AGO & HE TOLD ME THE STORY

    p.... w....

    My understanding is that he was on a plane called "Big Stink", as an observer to the bombing of Nagasaki, and that he wasn't on either of the bombers that dropped the bombs.

    p.... w....

    @Gary Bradley I could be wrong.....but I'm only repeating what I was told

    p.... w....

    @paul wignall I'm not having a go at you, you can check it out on Wikipedia.

  59. R.... ....

    Andy McCluskey a very nice guy. I met him in a hotel about 10 years ago.

  60. H.... H....

    This is the better of the two songs about nuking japan. Rush’ manhattan project not as good

  61. J.... N....

    chooooon

  62. �.... ....

    play the karaoke.

  63. B.... C....

    OMD are part of my upbringing.... They reflected a mad part of history that many of you won't ever realise... Superb....

  64. s.... ....

    Freaked out today. OMD coming to New Zealand Dec 2020. Got my tickets. Tears will be welling up for sure. Been a massive fanboy since I was 14 years old. Now I'm 46 and still massive fanboy. On my way of dying a happy man.

  65. H.... E....

    Came here because of Roland CompuRythm CR-78

  66. M.... W....

    Acually Enola Gay looks pretty GAY, strangge..

  67. M.... D....

    Ex-machina brought me here, nice tune.

  68. k.... ....

    Enola KappaPride

  69. I.... F....

    This song played in my head every time I had a fight in school and had to deal with all those judging looks.

  70. C.... 2....

    Learn this song in music ( y’a t’il des français )

    C.... 2....

    france gang on est laaaaa

  71. A.... S....

    OMD played LIVE at The Royal Antler Narrabeen on The Northern Beaches of Sydney in the mid 80's.
    It was disturbingly LOUD, too loud, unbearably loud, very uncomfortably loud.
    Their kind of music shouldn't be played loud, it's not Killing Joke who had people leaving The Glider Room, Dee Why Hotel because the Bass was pulverising us anatomically, it was sickeningly loud.
    Some Sound Engineers are very unprofessional in thinking that extreme volume is what the Punters want. It's not. It's an OH & S situation, a health risk.

  72. A.... S....

    I bought the 7" vinyl in 1981 after hearing it played on JJJ Radio Sydney, Australia.
    I wouldn't mind if Radio played this all the time, however, they don't, they play an OMD song that I'd rather not hear, ironic.

  73. A.... d....

    SYNTHWAVE

  74. J.... G....

    0% tax payable by Youtube, As is right. A private company bringing joy for free should pay nothing.

  75. Z.... L....

    This song makes me so happy. Then I remember what it's about.

    ...
    ...
    ...

    This song makes me so depressed.

  76. Y.... C....

    DONC ? JE VAIS VOIR UN PSY FONCTIONNAÎRE

    MIEUXY .

    avec les GARD , du coin ; j 'étais MALVENUE ?

  78. R.... J....

    This is a brilliant and sad song. It's like an anti-war hymn.

  79. G.... D....

    A third world war will happen at 1 point in the future,we never learn from past mistakes..

  80. A.... B....

    48/5000
    I was in concert 2 days ago. It was great.

  81. c.... b....

    They're Not GAY , They're just British. - plus the 80's kicked ass

  82. F.... D....

    clamoroso al cibali,l' hanno investito col discovery!

  83. M.... F....

    What about Empire State Human... HL choooon!

  84. R.... ....

    Mi tema preferido, la habré escuchado miles de veces. Fabulosa!

  85. J.... O....

    Jaro pedofil

  86. R.... B....

    Slim shady..an name to.

  87. T.... S....

    A beautiful video adorning a very well-produced utterly beautiful song about an indefinable occurrence. The bass is strung upside down?

  88. s.... a....

    He's a great frontman !

  89. P.... m....

    Americans have too live with this, an example could've been made in a remote area, i'm sure all the hard right of today are glad they dropped the bomb on thousands , if only they were all under it

    P.... m....

    I guess the Japanese have live with what they did attacking the Americans on Pearl Harbor. Thats what started the whole thing!!!!!

    P.... m....

    So i guess Japanese have live with fact they killed 2403 souls on Pearl Harbor in 1941. What cause America even get involved in WW2

  90. N.... B....

    Didn't know Neville Longbottom was an 80's Pop star.

  91. E.... B....

    hihi ENOLA 😂🤗

  92. M.... ....

    Il ressemble à Neville voilà bonne soirée.

    M.... ....

    Si tu le dis 🤷‍♂️😂😂

  93. S.... S....

    Woah! Neville Longbottom at 2:05.

  94. H.... 9....

    I will never gonna listen this song in the same way again 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

  95. J.... d....

    I might be making this up but from my memory I do believe that Ian Curtis was thinking of joining OMD. Just imagine how good this great song would have been? Their style is very similar to Joy Division as well; a sort of post-war homage to austerity.

    J.... d....

    You made that up

  96. Y.... ....

    Only crying

  97. D.... B....

    perché gli imperi ascoltano i criminali di guerra americani

  98. R.... M....
