Helicopter Lyrics
Oh heli Oh heli
I'm crouching here with a telescope in hand
Looking out across our lego land
I really think it's about time that she came down
She a laughing giggly whirlybird
She got to be obscene to be obheard
I really think its about time that she came down
And I object to all the air male that she pick up
the air male that she pick up
the air male that she pick up
When she's up there twirling round
Just like a helicopter - copter
She's landing on the town
It's about time that I stopped her - stopped her
When she's up there twirling round
Just like a helicopter - copter
Oh heli - Oh heli
Now she's away from convent she's gone wild
Grown from a nice young lady to a child
I really think its about time that she came down
She a laughing giggly whirlybird
She got to be obscene to be obheard
I really think it's about time that she came down
I'm crouching here with a telescope in hand
Looking out across our lego land
I really think it's about time that she came down
She a laughing giggly whirlybird
She got to be obscene to be obheard
I really think its about time that she came down
the air male that she pick up
the air male that she pick up
Just like a helicopter - copter
She's landing on the town
It's about time that I stopped her - stopped her
When she's up there twirling round
Just like a helicopter - copter
Oh heli - Oh heli
Grown from a nice young lady to a child
I really think its about time that she came down
She a laughing giggly whirlybird
She got to be obscene to be obheard
I really think it's about time that she came down

Parents being appalled by their daughter's deportment on visiting them from boarding school. She seemed to forget the rules of manners and behavior she learned at her Catholic boarding school and is acting wild, laughing, dancing, going out with just about every Tom, Dick, and Francisco regardless of whether Mum and Dad think the boy is a "suitable partner" for their girl or not
@CuteSparkina Andy used to introduce this song on stage as "Your girl's playing around, she's just a helicopter." Between that and the "landing on the town" lyric, you got it spot on.

The very 1st. song I ever heard by XTC--on UConn college radio circa 1979. A few of today's bands (i.e., Barenaked Ladies, Cake) may have a little of their sonic magic, but--IMO--there is only one XTC...Donde esta Andy Partridge these days??
pretty straightforward; a girl is let loose on the world after a sheltered upbringing.
