Lyrics Jetplane - The Fall

Jetplane

Diane Worstock and Dr. Jeffery Henning
First came up with their innovative new idea
Whilst standing in an airline queue, of all places
(On the Milan to London flight on a cold Italian… their London flight had
been delayed by two hours)
Standing in the queue, who would’ve thought that this innovative new idea
would’ve occured to them
(All their vacation Italian vouchers…)
Ticket number was obliterated
It occured to them, standing in an airline queue
For the Milan to London flight on a cold Italian Saturday afternoon
(Viennese summer)
The Italians certainly like their Sundays
And to make matters worse
Some sort of Rock group was holding up things also
They were bringing elbows and euros into Heathrow
(When you hear planes whoooosh…)
The world’s small now
But along I schlep
No vistas at night
Followed him…
This was when the great idea was beginning to dawn on them
To the Italian extreme cold or heat
Anyway, Diane with the cooperation of Dr. Dave opened a bureau which not only
tattoed your return number to Heathrow on your arm
But also squeaks if you are carrying more euros into Heathrow
(Suddenly, certainly, sullenly…)
And people who had cash, bringing it back, would be persecuted to the fullest
extent!
