And Vietnam Was Not War As We Knew It In The Conventional Sense..." On The Song Itself He Concluded "That's A Kind Of End-Of-The-World Song Really. It's Apocalypse The Whole Record's Like That." The Lyrics Of The Song Speak Of Seeking Shelter From A Coming Storm Painting A Picture Of Devastation And Social Apocalypse While Also Talking Of The Power Of Love “ Oh A Storm Is Threat'ning My Very Life Today If I Don't Get Some Shelter Oh Yeah I'm Gonna Fade Away ” “ War Children It's Just A Shot Away It's Just A Shot Away War Children It's Just A Shot Away It's Just A Shot Away" The Track Was Used To Great Effect In The Martin Scorses 1995 Classic 'Casino' Adding Period Atmosphere As Only Great Music Can.
