wheels ain't comin down
We were leavin' LA airport, me and Midlands Misery (Jimmy Lea) On an early mornin' plane flight out to some Radio XYZ Was a 1950's prop job that had seen much better days When we came on into the last approach, saw the runway thru the haze And the wheels ain't comin' down. All of my nine lives passed before my eyes. And the wheels ain't comin' down. And you realise you wanna stay alive - you wanna stay alive Women weepin' children playin' as we roared into a climb. Men was playin', we were drinkin' lots and it never cost a dime. Alter course for San Francisco, standin' by on red alert. Gonna chance a landin' on the sea, hopin' nobody gets hurt. And the wheels ain't comin' down. All of my nine lives passed before my eyes. And the wheels ain't comin' down. And you realise you wanna stay alive - you wanna stay alive Wanna stay alive Stay alive We applauded Chuck the Captain, when our feet had touched the ground. And I won't forget the moment he said, 'It's OK folks, the wheels are comin' down.' And the wheels they're comin' down And you realise it's good to be alive And the wheels they're comin' down And you realise you're gonna still survive It's good to be alive S'good to be alive They're comin' down They're comin'on down They're comin'on down They're comin'on down
