I’m listening to an 80’s feed. It’s called club 977 on iTunes (and the rest of you non-mac folk can get to it at their site.<\/p>\n
So, I find myself slamming my head against a wall.. (Well as much as one can wall slam to Toto’s Africa.) See, they just played, “Silent Running (On dangerous Ground) by Mike and the Mechanics. The video and lyrics suggest that the song is off the soundtrack to a sci-fi movie. And a really good looking one from the appearance\/sound.<\/p>\n
So.. my quandry… I can’t find ANY information if said movie ever existed. It’s like finding DVD’s of “WOSAT” or Sountracks to “The Coca Cola Kid.”<\/p>\n
I put it to my journal. Does ANYONE know anything about this famed theoretical movie?!?!?!?<\/p>\n
We return you to your previously scheduled LJ<\/p>\n
Chorus: There’s a gun and ammunition (Chorus)<\/p>\n Swear allegiance to the flag (Chorus x 2)<\/i><\/lj><\/p>\n
\nSilent Running <\/b>(Rutherford\/Robertson)<\/u>
\nTake the children and yourself
\nAnd hide out in the cellar
\nBy now the fighting will be close at hand
\nDon’t believe the church and state
\nAnd everything they tell you
\nBelieve in me, I’m with the high command<\/p>\n
\nCan you hear me, can you hear me running?
\nCan you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
\nCan you hear me, can you hear me running?
\nCan you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?<\/p>\n
\nJust inside the doorway
\nUse it only in emergency
\nBetter you should pray to God
\nThe Father and the Spirit
\nWill guide you and protect from up here<\/p>\n
\nWhatever flag they offer
\nNever hint at what you really feel
\nTeach the children quietly
\nFor some day sons and daughters
\nWill rise up and fight while we stood still<\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
