Wheels Ain't Coming 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 in to the last approach saw the runway through 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 was 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 hoping 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

It's good to be alive

They're comin' down

They're comin' on down

They're comin' on down

They're comin' on down
