Band On The Run (Wings cover)
Stuck inside these four walls, sent inside forever,
Never seeing no one nice again like you,
Mama you, mama you
If I ever get out of here,
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity.
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here
Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun,
And the first one said to the second one there "I hope you're having fun"
Band on the run, band on the run
And the jailer man and sailor sam were searching every one
For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh seeing no one else had come
And a bell was ringing in the village square for the rabbits on the run
Band on the run, band on the run
And the jailer man and sailor sam, were searching every one
For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run
Well, the night was falling as the desert world began to settle down
In the town they're searching for us every where, but we never will be found
Band on the run, band on the run
And the county judge, who held a grudge
Will search for evermore
For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run
