Lyrics
Big Bombs Dropping © 1980 Joyce M Davis. All rights reserved. 1 Am Little boy lying - in a room Tiny eyes crying “will they stop it soon?” F Am Those bombs droppin’ - right outside his room 2 Am Old man dying - full of doom Shriveled eyes crying “will they kill me soon?” F Am Those bombs droppin’ – right outside his room Bridge G F Am Should I feel sorry for these, two? G F Am Should I feel guilty ‘bout their doom? 3 Am Push my button – drop that load Look what I’ve gotten - so I am told F Am Those bombs droppin’ - for democracy 4 Am Fly a few thousand – feet above Keep my plane rising not – thinking of F Am Those bombs droppin’ – on people too Am Hey you down there – listen to me I’m just takin’ orders – to keep us free F Am [ F Am F Am ] These bombs are dropping – please don’t blame me --- 5 Am Little boy crying – in his room Tiny eyes bleeding “will they – stop it soon?” F Am Those bombs droppin’ – right on his room 6 Am Huge bricks falling – on his head One more bomb boys – then he’s dead F Am [ Am F Am ] Those bombs dropping – kill the old one, too --- 7 Am Pilot dreaming – in his flight Nightmares screaming – in his sights F Am Those bombs droppin’ – but there’s no fight 8 Am Little boy lying – in his room --- [ F Am F AM... [Stop singing cold]

Dear Joyce, I love this song, I've heard it before when I visited your page but for some reason I didn't comment, probably got a pc freeze and never got back here. I want to say this is a chilling song, beautifully inspired to convey your compassionate thoughts and expression, and to share the need for peace, there's a yearning in your voice and you sing so wonderfully because your soul can be heard, this is what keeps us hooked on music, songs like this. The melody coming out of the guitar is haunting and your voice is very moving and special. I sometimes don't get a chance to sign in here for a while but when I hear music like this I'm so thankful to be a part of soundclick and to know you, a true artist and a dear friend that I wish I could meet in person. Love from Maria xx

You really know how to paint a picture with your words Joyce, this is a very sad picture, but a way too honest picture that more people need to visualize that don't get it. I see you wrote that back in 1980.....war is timeless, just like a good song, I can't even remember now from back then, what war was goin on, you know, there's just been TOO MANY! Haunting song, but really awesomely played on guitar and your voice is so fitting and wonderful as usual. Good production, thanks for sharing your songs here Joyce. I'm still hitting your original songs.... basement tapes when I come to your page, so now I'm off for another. Take care and be well Joyce ~strummergurl~

Hello Joyce. That's an awesome song. Very well produced, written and your vocals are great. Love the lyrics and your guitar playing. 5 stars all around. This song is fitting for any conflict. I can picture eveyone singing this back in the late 60's Peace Bill
