The H-Bomb's Thunder

The H-Bomb's Thunder
[1959]
Lyrics by John Brunner
Testo di John Brunner

To the tune of "Miner's Lifeguard"
Sull'aria di "Miner's Lifeguard"

Una delle poche canzoni scritte da John Brunner, apprezzatissimo scrittore di fantascienza. Nel 1959, appena scritta, fu fatta circolare dapprima in volantini durante le manifestazioni per la pace. Anche in seguito continuò a circolare con il sistema dei "Broadsides" (fogli volanti).(Broadside #19)
In VV.AA. "Songs Against the Bomb", eseguita da The London Youth Choir, con Wendy Edwards & Ron Fielder al banjo e Leon Rosselson alla chitarra.

(The Lone Ranger)
Don't you hear the H-bombs' thunder
