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
