Bombs Away Lyrics


It was a day or so ago
I saw him run into the nightAnd on his face, more than a trace
Of wild fear in the eye
He was haunted by a tragic dream
Of people in death machines
And he did not know which side he was on
And he hated being in between ohChorus:
Bombs away, bombs away
Sign of the times -- watch where you're going
What will you do -- see you if I free you
Into the night -- feel the fear
Do you know your left from your right?He's tired of the lies
He's tired of the truth
They never give him what they say
He's tired of the fight
He's tired of the truce
The blackmail of judgement day
He believes in a magic wave

That rolls on the sea of time
That can touch every single human soul
If they could recognize it when it came -- too lateChorusYe hum oh ye hum we mame, bathini? ngingenzani?
(what do they say? what can I do? )Into the night -- feel the fear
It's so near -- look over your shoulder
Turn to the left -- turn to the right
At any time it can appear

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Johnny Clegg's second crossover band Savuka takes its name from the Zulu word for "We have risen". Savuka, like Clegg's first band Juluka before it, mixes African music with Celtic folk music and international rock sounds. They recorded four albums: Third World Child (1987), Shadow Man (1988), Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World (1989), Heat, Dust & Dreams (1993). The last album was nominated for a US Grammy Award for the best world music album in 1993.

In the United States songs performed by Johnny Clegg have appeared in three well-known feature films: "Scatterlings of Africa" in Rain Main, "Dela" in George of the Jungle, and "Life Is a Magic Thing" in the animated film Ferngully.
