Artist(Band):Paul Simon
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,
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
Don't cry,
(Pause)
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 o-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
(Pause)
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 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 o-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
oooooooooEmmmmmmmmmmm........

Review about The Boy in the Bubble
a little problem | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/23/09
<<Each time I watch the DVD of Graceland in Zimbabwe I can't help wondering why the most lasting musical contribution to the anti-apartheid cause was made by a white New Yorker, and a jewish one at that.>>
Most lasting for Americans maybe. I'm sure South Africans have plenty memories of their own. It's also worth noting that a HUGE number of the most prominant white South African anti-apartheid activists were jewish, like Joe Slovo.
How about true South Africans like Vusi Mahlasela? He truly changed the face of the movement with powerful songs and a voice that Paul Simon could only dream of. Don't speak of those peoples' battle against apartheid when you cannot possibly understand. The fact that you claim an American made the "most lasting musical contribution" illuminates the cause of much of the Anti-American sentiment abroad. This sense that everything revolves around us and our culture is pure ignorance. I understand you're probably just a big Paul Simon fan (as am I), but wouldn't you agree we need to be a little more careful about the things we say as to not belittle the contributions of other cultures?
powerful tune | Reviewer: Joe Gillman | 4/11/08
even more powerful today than in 1985 . . . as the miracle and wonders are ten fold . . as are the dangers (the bomb in the baby carriage) . . . as is the need for love . . .
god damn beautiful fucking song.

Thanks for these lyrics... I could never work out the line about "the baby with the baboon heart". Each time I watch the DVD of Graceland in Zimbabwe I can't help wondering why the most lasting musical contribution to the anti-apartheid cause was made by a white New Yorker, and a jewish one at that. Thank God for guys like him.
