He's gonna fly
Reg was sat below the cliff having a sneaky smoke and he couldn’t believe what he was witnessing ……I recorded the acoustic with the mic then added bass then a bit of piano and string then the tele then I decided what the subject would be and I decided to go dark……
He's gonna fly
He gonna fly
He gonna go high
Right through to the sky
He gonna to fly
He gonna fly
He gonna fly
He gonna fly
Touch the sky
Tonights the night
It do or die
He gonna fly
He’s gonna kiss that sk
He’s said his good byes
Now he must fly
goodbye
goodbye
He must fly
I can see him
He’s up there
Hes going dancing with the stars
Hes going far
He’s gonna touch the moon
He’ll get there soon
If he’s gonna fly
While I get high
I’ll watch him fly
While I get high
He’s gonna fly
Yesterday he was a dreameing
Now he’sperched high on the cliff
now its do or die
He lets go a battle cry
Drops down into the sky
The wings they give him lift
He starts to get high
I watch him fly
I watch him fly while I get high
While I get high
The reporter takes his photograph
The viewer takers a toke
The audience takes a breath
As they see his wings are broke
He starts to fall
He’s crashing down
He spins in theair
like a fly
He’s swatted down
He’s gonna die
While I get high
While I get high
While I get high
Hes said his good byes
He said he was going to fly
He said he was going to fly
High
Goodbye
Goodbye
He must fly
One of your best compositions. It’s a strangely compelling story with the protagonist worthy of a Darwin Award.
There is a brutality to this that is uncannily beautiful. It finished playing minutes ago but is still spinning in my head in more ways than one.
