Band On The Run Lyrics
STUCK INSIDE THESE FOUR WALLS,
SENT INSIDE FOREVER,
NEVER SEEING NO ONE NICE AGAIN
LIKE YOU, MAMA,
YOU, MAMA,
YOU.
IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE,
THOUGHT OF GIVING IT ALL AWAY
TO A REGISTERED CHARITY,
ALL I NEED IS A PINT A DAY.
IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE,
IF WE EVER GET OUT OF HERE.
WELL, THE RAIN EXPLODED WITH A MIGHTY CRASH
AS WE FELL INTO THE SUN.
AND THE FIRST ONE SAID TO THE SECOND ONE THERE,
"I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING FUN!"
BAND ON THE RUN,
BAND ON THE RUN,
AND THE JAILER MAN AND SAILOR SAM,
WERE SEARCHING EV'RYONE,
FOR THE BAND ON THE RUN,
BAND ON THE RUN,
FOR THE BAND ON THE RUN,
BAND ON THE RUN.
WELL, THE UNDERTAKER DREW A HEAVY SIGH,
SEEING NO ONE ELSE HAD COME.
AND A BELL WAS RINGING IN THE VILLAGE SQUARE
FOR THE RABBITS ON THE RUN.
BAND ON THE RUN,
BAND ON THE RUN,
AND THE JAILER MAN AND SAILOR SAM,
WERE SEARCHING EV'RYONE,
FOR THE BAND ON THE RUN,
BAND ON THE RUN.
YEAH, THE BAND ON THE RUN,
THE BAND ON THE RUN,
THE BAND ON THE RUN,
BAND ON THE RUN.
WELL, THE NIGHT WAS FALLING AS THE DESERT WORLD
BEGAN TO SETTLE DOWN.
IN THE TOWN THEY'RE SEARCHING FOR US EV'RYWHERE
BUT WE NEVER WILL BE FOUND.
BAND ON THE RUN,
BAND ON THE RUN,
AND THE COUNTY JUDGE, WHO HELD A GRUDGE,
WILL SEARCH FOREVER MORE,
FOR THE BAND ON THE RUN,
FOR THE BAND ON THE RUN,
THE BAND ON THE RUN, YEAH,
THE BAND ON THE RUN, YEAH.
SENT INSIDE FOREVER,
NEVER SEEING NO ONE NICE AGAIN
LIKE YOU, MAMA,
YOU, MAMA,
YOU.
THOUGHT OF GIVING IT ALL AWAY
TO A REGISTERED CHARITY,
ALL I NEED IS A PINT A DAY.
IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE,
IF WE EVER GET OUT OF HERE.
AS WE FELL INTO THE SUN.

THEY ARNT YELLING THROUGH THE WHOLE SONG! ...lay off the caps locks.
No, but when being played you need to yell to hear each other. I spent many, ahhh, strange weekends listening to wings, great band, shame they didn't keep going.
ah HEE HEE (michael jackson yelling) i fucking live this song. i dare any band to top this
This song is great. I saw Paul McCartney a few nights ago in Atlanta and he did this song and believe me it was awesome. Wings was amazing and is a shame they didn't do more albums.
This song comments on how many bands of this time period shared a feeling that they were "on the run" because members of bands were frequently getting busted.
Oh the rain exploded with a mighty crash As we sailed into the sun And the first one said to the second one there I hope you’re having fun
Why don’t you leave those stinking paints alone? They stink the place out, poisoning the air! Just take them out! Where to? I don’t care where! I won’t have stinking paint here!
{From their plates] That’s right! Stinking paint breeds fever, growled his mates And a bell was ringing in the village square For the rabbits on the run Until the beauty took him by the throat And stood there silent, leaning on the boat As it grew dark, she caught the bloke with Till now, I’ve spared you! Damn you! Now, you hark! I expected pudding—not this rot! Still—come, we’ll have some fun with what we’ve got
In the town they’re searching for us everywhere But we never will be found Treading on naked tiptoe stealthily To grope for treasure at the longboat skid
[utter and complete cosmic nonsense for Paul, Linda and friends … I was never really in on the joke ...]
AND THE FIRST ONE SAID TO THE SECOND ONE THERE, "I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING FUN!"
Paul Mccartney said that to lenon one time when they were on tour I think im not sure of where i remember he meant that to Lenon
"All I need is a pint a day" Is that blood or paint? ????
@Mynameiscurlywhirly, in context and in British English, it's beer!

simply a great song, maybe a bit overplayed though.
oh I can't hear this one enough honestly, a local band here in PA, The Aardvarks, they do an AWESOME cover!
