Not flying today

Too high too quick
It just feels wrong
Too fast too slick
Catapulted along

We’re packed so tight
And sharing no air
But everyone flies don’t they?
To everywhere

Chorus
Oh, great, do you see
It’s not just me
Have you heard the new album
By Kate Rusby?

Trapped and belted
I can’t feel me
Where have I gone to
Where can I be?

Am I stashed in the locker
Or under the seat
Am I in with the sickbags
All folded and neat?

Chorus

I quiver and sweat
And you don’t know why
You think I’m strange
Being scared to fly

But look at the ground there
That’s where I’d be
Give me the bus back
A boat on the sea

Chorus

Keep all your jets
And your pre-packed meals
I have my own wings
I have my own wheels

I’ll fly without airlines
I’ll give speed a miss
I’ll fly when I’ve landed
If I just survive this

Chorus to fade
