Enola Gay (Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark cover) 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 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 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

this song is most likely just a straightforward song about the plane enola gay and the bombing of hiroshima. i like both versions of the song, but i prefer OMD's version.
