Slade - Wheels Ain't Coming Down lyrics

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 pa**ed 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 pa**ed 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
