Aces High
There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble weve got to get airborn
Got to get up for the coming attack.
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheelblocks theres no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before its too late.
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Wont You?
Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high.
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let of a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin round to come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again.
Bandits at 8 Oclock move in behind us
Ten ME-109s out of the sun
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press down my guns.
Rolling, scrambling, diving
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning , diving
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Wont You?
Run! live to fly! fly to live! Aces high!
