11:59 Lyrics

Lyric discussion by mrkenny 

Cover art for 11:59 lyrics by Blondie

Debbie and Chris were very concerned about the arms race and nuclear poliferation at the time. It seemed like nuclear anniellation was inevitible. Thus this song and Atomic and Slow Motion and probably others that I can't think of. Sorry for mispellings but spell check doesn't work here.

I listened to this last night and am SO glad somebody else picked up on the non-proliferation theme.

My view is that the 11:59 line refers to the Nuclear Clock.

Even after all these years, the Cold War still messes with my head.

@mrkenny err..except this was written by Jimmy Destri and not Debbie & Chris.
