we wont get very far tonight
these aeroplanes they fly so very high
and no we wont get very far tomorrow
as i make my way back down to soho
it just goes so slow (x3)

we wont get very far tomorrow
as i make my way back home from heathrow
though we try our best to find a way
these aeroplanes flew you so far away
and it goes so slow (x3)

i know, i know, i know, i know...
it just goes so slow (x2)

but if we watch the aeroplanes at 3
could we watch the aeroplanes take off? (x3)
