FAITHLESS - Bombs

I just saw an advance play of the new Faithless video for Bombs on Channel 4. Bombs is the new single from the "To All New Arrivals" album due to be released during November.

I don't want to rave but ... but I have to rave. This video is, is, is f******g magnificent. The worst part is that I can't find a link to it anywhere on-line although I've been searching for an hour.

There are some instrumental demos of the album and you can hear the FULL single as a Real Player stream here and I'll put the lyrics in this post.

The video shows warfare taking place in the same streets we live, while we wash our cars, while we eat our meals, it shows what happens when armed soldiers blow a hole through the side of a school, it shows nuclear warfare. Achh my words are useless.

SEE THIS VIDEO

It is simply the most accurate portrayal of the world I live in today. The single is good, but the video IS A MUST WATCH

BOMBS - lyrics:

We think we are heroes
We think we are kings
We plan all kinds of fabulous things
Oh look how great we have become

Key in the door
The moment I've longed for
Before my bag hit the floor
My adorable children rush up
Screaming for a kiss and a story
They've a gift to this world
My only claim to glory
I never knew sweeter days
Blows my mind like munitions
I'm amazed

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much bought, so much sold
One man's loss, another man's gold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

We're just children, we're just dust
We are small, we are lost
And we're nothing
Nothing at all

One bomb
Whole block gone
Cant find my children
And dust covers the sun
Everywhere is noise, panic
And confusion
But to some another fun day in Babylon
I'm going to bury my wife
And dig up my gun
My life is done
So now I'm going to kill someone...

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much bought, so much sold
One man's loss, another man's gold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
