He Looks Like Spencer Tracy Now Lyrics - Deacon Blue

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 

He may be a senator or 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 Einstein's hand 

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 

Tears falling down the streets 

And he cries all night 

And he cries all night 

And he cries all night 

And he cries all night 

Oh, he cries all night
