Nik Kershaw
I Wont Let The Sun Go Down
Nik Kershaw I Wont Let The Sun Go Down is a song first released on his hit debut album Human Racing. The song was written during the latter part of the Cold War period when nuclear war between the two superpowers of the USSR and USA was still a very real concern, and the lyrics reflect a satirical view of politics and the threat of war with lines such as: "old men in stripey trousers, rule the world with plastic smiles", and: "forefinger on the button, is he blue or is he red?""I Won't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" only reached number 47 in the UK charts when first released. However, the follow up single from the same album, Wouldn't It Be Good, reached the top five and on the back of that success "I Won't ..." was re-released and soared to number two. It was also subsequently a major hit in several other countries and was responsible for bringing him to greater public attention.
Nik Kershaw I Wont Let The Sun Go Down Lyrics
Forty winks in the lobby
make mine a G&T
then to my favourite hobby
searching for an enemy
here in your paper houses
stretching for miles and miles
old men in stripey trousers
rule the world with plastic smiles
good or bad, like it or not
it's the only one we've got
i won't let the sun go down on me
i won't let the sun go down
mother nature isn't in it
three hundred million years
goodbye in just a minute
gone forever, no more tears
pinball man, power glutton
vacuum inside his head
forefinger on the button
is he blue or is he red?
break your silence if you would
before the sun goes down for good
i won't let the sun go down on me
i won't let the sun go down
Leave Nik Kershaw I Wont Let The Sun Go Down Lyrics
and return to 80s Music K-R
