Without Wheels

from Major 3rd by Chris Swinney

/

lyrics

Well it seems we’ll have to land
Not quite the way we planned
There’ll be a lot of friction I would say
The passengers I’ve learned
Are not overly concerned
But I’ll say this with conviction anyway
Manoeuvres of this kind
I must have practiced a thousand times

The press have all come down
To watch us touch the ground
The whole world holds its breath and says a prayer
Though I have got the feel
For landing without wheels
The sparks will soon be flying under there
We’ll bring this back to base
With fire engines out just in case

This has been an endless flight
I hope we’ll make it home tonight
Coming round for one last time
It’s now or never baby hold on tight

As level as we could
We made the landing good
The passengers they hardly felt a thing
A pressman in his wit
He made some light of it
Said next time you could do it without wings
This fame I have to say
Could have come in a better way

This has been an endless flight
I think we’ll make it home tonight
Coming down in our own time
Until tomorrow baby hold on tight
