Close!!
The LP, it's taken from is 'Lexicon Of Love' (Lexicon, as in dictionary, as well as the vocabulary)
I had the vinyl LP, no idea where it is now
A great film, I have the vinyl LP, & the DVD

I'll admit I had thought of 'Rattlesnakes' by Lloyd Cole & The Commotions, due to the line about 'Eve Marie Saint in On The Waterfront', but on checking it was a screenplay, & not adapted from a novel
Cracking track either way

A somewhat tenuous one
John Hersey was a journalist for the New York Times, who after the surrender, went to Hiroshima, & wrote about what he saw
It was a sensation, being printed as an entire issue, not a serial & was subsequently sold around the World
Then turned into a book, I have a 1984 printing of it
Hence, the OMD hit, due to it being the B29 that dropped the bomb

This was written for the (1984) film, but I can't remember if it was used?

I know it's probably just 'artistic licence'
But Anduril, 'The Flame Of The West'

So, like Annie above, with 1984 &Julie, here's another great track, even if it's a tenuous link (1)

1. It could have prophesised Trump, at the US elections
A stranger came by traveling
He went to every door
He said he’d lost his people
He had come to look for more
And many did believe him
As he talked upon the square
The spell he wove upon us
Fills my body with despair
And in his eyes
Was the flame of the west
Until it burns
He never rests
He had the voice of an angel
And the face of a saint
And though they fell behind him
I knew what it was he meant
His eyes were full of demons
As he made the message clear
He strode the world like Caesar
With a trident held his fear
And in his eyes
Was the flame of the west
Until it burns
He never rests
It’s just how its always been
One man with a ruling dream
And everyone falls for him
Heroines in an ancient film
It’s just how its always been
One man with a ruling dream
And everyone falls for him
Heroines in an ancient film
Called the flame of the west
Look out for that stranger
If you pass him on your way
He never sees a danger,
In the darkening of the day
There will be dollars in his hand
He has all hell to pay
And he will pass them to you
If you promise you will stay
And in his eyes
Was the flame of the west
Until it burns
He never rests
But Anduril, 'The Flame Of The West'
