Mordechai Vanunu - The Dream Academy

Mordechai Vanunu (Nick Laird-Clowes, Gilbert Gabriel)
The living word that Mordechai heard
That rang loud inside his head
Wasn't loud enough to stop the bomb
With repression ringing out again
From South Africa to the shores of this land
That wouldn't stop resistance holding on
Mordechai Vanunu
Said "Israel, don't drop the bomb"
Mordechai Israel
Mordechai Vanunu
Keep your resistance strong
Mordechai Israel
Nuclear research station underground
The written word that Mordechai found
All printed out in black and white
With enough Plutonium to build the bomb
And statements to the contrary not withdrawn
Mordechai took it to the world outside
Mordechai Vanunu
Had his picture printed by the press
And his story told outloud
Mordechai Vanunu
Was exiled in a world of emptiness
Because he told the truth outloud
In England streets of London town
Mordechai went underground
Over fear of threats upon his life
He met a girl called Cindy on the streets of Soho
Seemed so sympathetic, he broke down, let it go
Then he flew with her to Rome
Mordechai Mordechai
Wasn't alone when he discovered that
Cindy worked for the government
Mordechai Mordechai
Was chained up and attacked
By agents of his government
He woke up on a boat
All shot up with dope
Missing, presumed dead, living just inside his head
Until he turned up in Tel Aviv
On matters of state security
In the back of a police van
But he had a message written on the palm of his hand
And it said
Vanunu, Mordechai
Kidnapped from Italy 30-9-86
On flight A504
Mordechai Vanunu
Wore a special helmet when he next appeared in court
Just in case he tried to talk
The living word that Mordechai heard
The living word that Mordechai heard
That rang loud inside his head
Wasn't loud enough
He's in a cell three metres wide
TV cameras on all sides
24 hours of electric light
Nowhere left to hide
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Mordechai Vanunu
Said "Israel, don't drop the bomb"
Mordechai Israel
Mordechai Vanunu
Keep your resistance strong
Mordechai Israel

The Dream Academy, kannte ich gar nicht, woher kommen die? Sehr gut die band. Text is mir zu einseitig und politisch.

[lava0aval]

The Dream Academy war eine englische Band, in den 80er Jahren hatten sie ihren größten Erfolg mit "Life in a northern town", 1991 hat sich die Band aufgelöst.

"Mordechai Vanunu" ist ein Lied, das, soviel ich weiß, nur auf der B-Seite ihrer Single "Love" erschienen ist, es gibt sicher bessere Songs der Band!

@onlytheblues: texte mit politischem inhalt und sinn find ich persönlich zur abwechslung gut.

[dzisu]

was verstehst Du unter einseitig?What is your definition of one-sided?

Was ist das Thema von vielen bis meisten Liedern, das kann man wie man es auch dreht als dasselbe bezeichnen: das koennte man also als einseitig bezeichnen

What is the topic of many to most of the songs?you can turn it the way you want but it is about the same thing, so you might say this may be one-sided.
