International Jet Set |
| Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking |
| Welcome aboard DC-10 flight number 1313 |
| We will be cruising at a height of 25,000 feet at an air speed of 600 miles per |
| hour |
| Headphones will be provided by request for a varied program of in flight music |
| Have a good flight |
| Safety belts and sickness bags, jet lag downer pills |
| Duty free, booze and fags make me feel ill |
| A vapour trail from A to B, away from normal sanity |
| It all seems so absurd to me |
| I’ve seen the carpets on the walls |
| Of hotels rooms around the world |
| I never want to hear the screams |
| Of the teenage girls in other peoples dreams |
| Spread the disease from the south China Sea to the beach hotel Malibu |
| Phone my girlfriend to ask her: 'How's her weekend ?' |
| I say: 'Hi, Terry here' - and she says: 'Terry, who (the hell are you ?)' |
| The businessmen are having fun |
| Are they on a different plane to me? |
| I’ve lost touch with reality |
| They all seem so absurd to me |
| Like well dressed chimpanzees |
| Spend and spend and spend and spend |
| Will the muzak never end? |
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking |
| Due to expected engine failures we will be forced to attempt an emergency |
| landing |
| Please remain seated, extinguish all cigarettes and fasten safety belts |
| Follow the emergency procedures laid out in the pamphlet located in front of |
| your seats |
| For normal breathing, oxygen masks will be released from the compartment above |
| your head |
| Please, remain calm and follow the instructions of your stewardess at all times |
| This is a recording … |
