Pearl Harbour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama and I'm just about to blow my top
Fujiyama-yama Fujiyama
And when I start erupting ain't nobody gonna make me stop
I drink a quart of sakey smoke dynamite
I chase it with tobaccy and then shoot out the light
Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama and I'm just about to blow my top
Fujiyama-yama Fujiyama
Well you can talk about me say that I'm mean
I'll blow your head off baby with nitroglycerine
Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama and I'm just about to blow my top
Fujiyama-yama Fujiyama
And when I start erupting ain't nobody gonna make me stop
Well you can say I'm crazy stone deaf and dumb
But I can cause destruction just like the atom bomb
Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama and I'm just about to blow my top
Fujiyama-yama Fujiyama
And when I start erupting ain't nobody gonna make me stop
I drink a quart of sakey smoke dynamite
I chase it with tobaccy and then shoot out the light
Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama and I'm just about to blow my top
Fujiyama-yama Fujiyama
And when I start erupting ain't nobody gonna make me stop
The song "Fujiyama Mama" by Pearl Harbor portrays a strong and powerful woman who is not afraid to take control and fight back against those who wrong her. She proudly declares that she has been to Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and boasts that she can do the same to anyone who crosses her. She compares herself to a volcano, ready to erupt at any moment, with nothing able to stop her from unleashing her fury.
Throughout the song, she talks about her dangerous habits, including drinking a quart of sake and smoking dynamite, and how she is capable of causing destruction just like an atom bomb. She is unapologetic about her behavior, fully embracing her identity as a "Fujiyama Mama." Even though others may try to label her as crazy or mean, she will not back down and will always fiercely protect herself.

Beautiful song and great performance! I remember she joyned The Clash during a concert at the Theatre Mogador in Paris, at the end of september 1981 and they played Hit The Road Jack.
From September 1981 until Febraury 1982 they played their best concerts of their entire career.
