Bockscar, sometimes called Bock’s Car or Bocks Car, is the name of the United States Army Air Forces B-29 bomber that dropped the “Fat Man” nuclear weapon over Nagasaki on 9 August 1945, the second atomic weapon used against Japan.
The name painted on the aircraft after the mission is a pun on “boxcar” after the name of its aircraft commander, Captain Frederick C. Bock.
Pixies - Here comes your man
outside there’s a box car waiting
outside the family stew
out by the fire breathing
outside we wait ‘til face turns blue
i know the nervous walking
i know the dirty beard hangs
out by the box car waiting
take me away to nowhere plains
there is a wait so long
here comes your man
big shake on the box car moving
big shake to the land that’s falling down
is a wind makes a palm stop blowing
a big, big stone fall and break my crown
there is a wait so long
you’ll never wait so long
here comes your man
there is a wait so long
you’ll never wait so long
here comes your man
