Gabriel, Peter - The Boy In The Bubble Lyrics






It was a slow day
And the sun was beating
On the soldiers by the side of the road
There was a bright light
A shattering of shop windows
The bomb in the baby carriage
Was wired to the radio, and

These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long-distance call
The way the camera follows us in slow-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry

It was a dry wind
And it swept across the desert
And it curled into the circle of birth
And the dead sand
Falling on the children
The mothers and the fathers
And the automatic earth

These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long-distance call
The way the camera follows us in slow-mo
The way we look to us all, oh, yeah
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry

It's a turn-around jump shot
It's everybody jump start
It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts
Medicine is magical and magical is art
Think of the boy in the bubble
And the baby with the baboon heart

And I believe
These are days of lasers in the jungle
Lasers in the jungle somewhere
Staccato signals of constant information
A loose affiliation of millionaires
And billionaires, and, baby

These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long-distance call
The way the camera follows us in slow-mo
The way we look to us all, oh, yeah
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

    Céline m'a offert l'album à sa sortie. J'avais 36 ans, le 12 février 2010... 3:06...

    Pourquoi ai-je entendu hier : ma sœur donne souvent son sang, elle est donneuse universelle... POURQUOI ?

  4. I.... G....

    Paul simon's original is exciting,this is boring and beyond,pretencious,I'm sorry ,no polemics

    I.... G....

    For a 04:24 long song it is boring, THO, I didn't really feel it touched me

    I.... G....

    Just b/c you don't appreciate it... or can't... doesn't make it pretentious. This is an entirely unique and heart-breaking interpretation... Gabriel made it his own.

    I.... G....

    You obviously don't understand Peter Gabriel then. He doesn't do things for excitement and pop factor. He does things for imagery, passion, art, and feeling. Its why he's in the rock n roll hall of fame.

  5. I.... G....

    i like Gabriel's music,but this is a huge blunder!this is not a drama...but i must say ;thumbs down go!

    I.... G....

    you mean "thumbs down go!" ... for this comment: DONE!

    I.... G....

    Thumbs down this comment?
    Okay
    Done

  6. V.... J....

    It's poetry

    V.... J....

    glad someone else felt the same way

    V.... J....

    yep..these are the daze of impatience .
