Great Lines # 8 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

'Enola Gay. You should have stayed at home yesterday.'
 
Perhaps 'great' in inverted commas on this one. An example of the remarkable ability of the Pop Song to transform the utterly profound and devastating into sheer triviality and disposability in a way that almost nothing else can. Good song mind. About the plane that delivered the Hiroshima and Nagasaki H-Bombs of course.
