Wheels Ain't Coming Down

(앨범: We'll Bring The House Down - 1981)

We were leaving LA airport, me and Midlands Misery (Jimmy Lea)
On an early morning plane flight out to some Radio XYZ
Was a 1950's prop job, that had seen much better days
When we came on in to the last approach saw the runway through the haze

And the wheels ain't coming down
All of my nine lives passed before my eyes
And the wheels ain't coming down
And you realise you wanna stay alive
you wanna stay alive

Women weeping, children playing, as we roared into a climb
Men was playing, we was drinking lots and it never cost a dime
Alter course for San Francisco, standing by on red alert
Gonna chance a landing on the sea hoping nobody gets hurt

And the wheels ain't coming down
All of my nine lives passed before my eyes
And the wheels ain't coming 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 coming down.'

And the wheels they're coming down
and you realise it's good to be alive
And the wheels they're coming down
and you realise you're gonna still survive
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
They're coming down
They're coming on down
They're coming on down
They're coming on down
