Hercules (Boston 1992) Songtext
von Midnight Oil

My life is a valuable thing
I want to keep it that way, I won′t cry
My life's such a valuable thing
And some things don′t fade away, but I don't mind

We give the best we can give
We won't forget, we can′t forgive
Keep us radioactive free
Strike a bell in Hiroshima park
You know that we can′t see in the dark
We try, and we try, and we try, and we try, and we try

Who waits for the planes to come
When everybody's got you on the run
South Pacific, carry on


It seems to me that what we′re saying, nobody really wants to talk about it
This is no time to be wondering why
I do the best I can do
The human jungle and the global zoo
I'll find my way, it′s a very special way

Why wait for the planes to come?
When everybody's got us on the run
South Pacific, carry on
Here come the Hercules
Here come the submarines
Sinking south pacific dreams

This is something I will remember
This is something I will remember
This is something I will remember
Remember
Remember

Why wait for the planes to come?
When everybody′s got us on the run
South Pacific, carry on
Here comes the Hercules
Here comes the submarines
Sinking south pacific dreams
