Aces High (Live)

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid

Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak

Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne

Got to get up for the coming attack

Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines

Remove all the wheelblocks, there's no time to waste

Gathering speed as we head down the runway

Gotta get airborne before it's 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

Won't you run

Live to fly

Fly to live

Aces high

Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers

Let off a sharp burst and then turn away

Roll over, come round to spin in behind them

Move to their blindsides and firing again

Bandits at 8 o'clock 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, turning, diving

Rolling, scrambling, flying, going in again

Rolling, turning, diving

Rolling, scrambling

Run

Live to fly

Fly to live

Do or die

Won't you run

Live to fly

Fly to live

Aces high
