Fischer-Z - Cruise Missiles Live 2023

Описание: Due to popular demand John is heading out on tour again this May as Fischer-Z Solo with his ‘Celebrating Red Skies’ show.

He will be featuring songs from the Red Skies Over Paradise but he will also be playing all the hits you know and love as well as a few very special rarities and some audience requests.
There will be a live Fischer-Z Solo album for sale exclusively at the shows, preceded by digital singles, artwork and videos.

Cruise Missiles was written in 1980 when Cold War politics had a big effect on the European state of mind. Watts wrote the ‘Red Skies Over Paradise’ album describing the way people felt at that time. There was fear and there were threats. One of big issues was the stationing and targeting of Cruise missiles. As Europe moves into a new Cold War era, Cruise Missiles are a fact of life and the fear is back.

The energy and tension of the political situation is reflected in the new live recordings about to be released by Fischer-Z. The first is the live re-imaging of Cruise Missiles; as energetic and relevant today as the original version was in 1981.

Lyrics:
We share a common destination
Each person has their time to die
But men are speeding up their journey
By seeing what they can destroy with their

Cruise missiles - We're living near those
Cruise missiles - We're looking for those
Cruise missiles - They're not five years away

They're building shelters for the privileged
There won't be room for you and me
So read your pamphlets of precautions
They'll make you laugh until you see that those
Cruise missiles - We're living near those
Cruise missiles - We're sitting on these
Cruise missiles - They're not five years away

Cruise missiles - I'm living near those
Cruise missiles - I'm sitting on these
Cruise missiles - They're not five years away

They claim the ultimate solution
To all the problems that we face
It's pointing rockets at the Russians
And hope they don't end up in Greece

All those
Cruise missiles - We're looking for those
Cruise missiles - We're standing near those
Cruise missiles - They're not 5 miles away

They're not 5 years away
They're not 5 miles away
They're not 5 miles away
