The Fall - Jetplane Lyrics

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!
