Deacon Blue - He Looks Like Spencer Tracy Now Lyrics

There's a shadow on his photograph
On Tinian '45
Smiling like a college boy
Who's glad to be alive
But now he owns a factory
And a store in Los Alamos
A wife called Beverly
Sells second hand
Ford motors

He may have taken pictures
Been caught in Albuquerque
Flown in Great Artiste
On a mushroom cloud
Now he may be a Senator
A General or a Turn Key
But I know he looks like Spencer Tracy now

And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night

And he may have been with Oppenheimer
Shaken Einsteins hand
Said did we have to drop the bomb
You bet to save this land
He was only taking pictures
Around the critical mass
While the troops on Tinian island
Sang Follow the bouncing ball
White Christmas

He may have been a nationalist
A physicist or a pacifist
But he's just taking pictures
And he'll do it anyhow
Well I have seen that movie
Of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde
And I know he looks like Spencer Tracy Now

And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night

And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
And he cries all night
