Lyrics:
The Boy In The Bubble
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
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-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
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 slo-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
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
The Boy in the Bubble
And the baby with the baboon heart
And I believe
These are the 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 slo-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

Sadly, Angelo Bruschini, who played guitar on Beatsongs and six other Blue Aeroplanes' albums, as well as producing numerous tracks, passed away from lung cancer on 23 October 2023 at the age of 62. RIP.

Fabulous 🎸

I think that this was done as part of radio one's 50th birthday, a series of gigs around London with a showcase or bands playing number ones from the charts. Blur did wake up maggie and the Lemonheads did Mrs. Robinson. I saw the back at what was then Town & Country in Kentish townn

How's the message board.

My mistake. Message board is a garbage fan group. Thinking about it the Paul Anderson that runs it would have been too young for blue aeroplanes

@@simonmealy6791 No you're right, I did the album art for Beatsongs and the single for Boy in the Bubble

Brilliant stuff great cover better than the original sorry Paul

[@111doomer]

It's good but the original is better. Graceland best album of the 80's but Beatsongs was a great album as well. I still have both on cassette.
