Ejection Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Wyrm 

Cover art for Ejection lyrics by Hawkwind

What does it mean? Not much really. It was written by Robert Calvert for his 'Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters' theme album, but is used a lot by Hawkwind (who he was an occasional member of). It basically indicates the problems pilots had with the German version of the Lockheed Starfighter (The F104-G). You had to be on drugs to want to fly it, and all too often pilots had to eject to save themselves.
