The Sound Of A Gun
Chris de Burgh
Intro: I have seen the diamond stylus Cut a groove from north to south Heard them calling from the islands for a better day One by one they tell their story One by one it’s just the same "They’ve taken our leaders And all their believers are paralysed And now we can’t turn back somebody is watching you! Don’t turn round yesterday’s gone! And even the children are waking at midnight in tears Didn’t anyone hear? Mother mother mother..." Hush child go to sleep it’s only the sound of a gun Hush child go to sleep it’s only the sound of a gun Ooooh aaah ooooh aaah Looking out my bedroom window I remember early days When the shot that wounded millions took our breath away But now the shadow of a gunman With his balaclava eyes is making the news Calling out the warnings on the telephone "You’re in the line of fire wish there was another way! Line of fire anything goes" And who is the winner and what will the minister say At the end of the day? Never never never never! Hush child go to sleep it’s only the sound of a gun Hush child go to sleep it’s only the sound of a gun This is bella soma this is bella soma This is bella soma this is bella soma This is bella soma this is bella soma Mother mother mother... Hush child go to sleep it’s only the sound of a gun Hush child go to sleep it’s only the sound of a gun Hush child go to sleep it’s only the sound of a gun Hush child do not weep it’s only the sound of a world on the run You’re hearing the sound of a gun.
