Putting Wings On Aeroplanes Lyrics

Putting Wings On Aeroplanes lyrics

We're waiting for the strike to end
Counting days
Counting hours
Hoping we don't lose our jobs
Ready to lift the hammers
Ready to
place the bolts -
We'll go back to work again
Putting wings on
aeroplanes
Once I went, for free, to Spain
I was proud to travel,
that day
In the plane I'd helped to build
Landing in a foreign
field
Something strange,though, had gone on
Our boss went instead to
Hong Kong
Booked into the best hotel
A hundred waiters waiting
And we went back to work again
Putting wings on aeroplanes
Then it
came, that awful moment
I was sad to travel, that day
In the plane
I'd helped to build
Landing in a foreign field
Run, with the
others
From the plane
Towards the hills of Southern Spain
The
aeroplane was now deployed
To destroy, or be destroyed
I'll never go
back to work again
Putting wings on aeroplanes
I'll never...
(ad
infinitum)
