Bob Lennon

(Sensei) Naoki Urasawa's song, he wrote that for 20th Century Boys. His character Kenji is playing the guitar and singing this song on the new year's eve and on other circumstances (read the manga, it's amazing:P). This song moved me when I read the lyrics in the manga alone, but it really stuck when I heard it from the mangaka's band. It seems like it has a special meaning to me and I know it by heart.
Some times it means more to me, depending on the occasion.




The sun goes down, and somewhere
I can smell curry cookin’
How long will we have to walk before we get home?
Will the croquettes from my favorite shop
Still taste the same? And waiting for me?
Night comes down upon the earth
And now, I’m hurryin’ home
They say the ogres will be laughing next year
And I say, let ‘em laugh all they like
I’ll keep talkin’ about 5 or 10 years in the future
And 50 years later, if I’m still with you
Night comes down upon the earth
And now, I’m hurryin’ home
Rain may fall, and storms may come
Spears may fall, so let’s all go home
They can’t stop us, nobody has the right to stop us
Night comes down upon the earth
And now, I’m hurryin’ home
Night comes down upon the entire world
And the entire world is hurryin’ home
And I pray that these days will
Continue forever and ever…
