about

A great song written by Micky Jupp. Actually I quite like flying, but never let the facts get in the way of a good lyric!

lyrics

I'd rather work in the city - in a pinstriped suit and bowler hat
If you break my arm I'll join the union, you know how I feel about that
Put me in a uniform - if it comes to blows
But you'll never get me up
Never get me up
No you’ll ever get me up in one of those things

I'd rather spend time in the Foreign Legion
Or risk my neck travelling on the Southern Region
Put me in a uniform if it comes to blows
But you'll never get me up
Never gonna get me up
No you’ll ever get me up in one of those things

I can stay – way down here and get high
I don’t need no uniform to fly
If the good Lord had meant us to get up in one of those things
He'd have given us the tickets as well as the pair of wings

So if you don't mind I'll take my chances crossing the street
'Cause I need to the ground beneath my feet
Put me in a uniform if it comes to blows
But you'll never get me up
Never get me up
Never gonna get me up in one of those things
