Off to the airport to check in the bags 
Proud of my suntan and good times I've had 
Laying on beaches and writing out cards 
Back to the humdrum and bashing out cars 
Into the aircraft I look for my seat 
A nervous tension builds inside me 
Onto the runway I pretend I'm elsewhere 
In minutes we're flying through the hot evening air 
Down there toy town the twinkle of lights 
The long white beaches of holiday time 
Suddenly someone has pulled out a gun 
His shout for attention has everyone stunned 
Hands on our heads there's a new kind of fear 
We're over the barrel with the hits of the year 

Held up to ransom assured we'll be safe 
The yellow ribbon comes out again 
How many gods can there be in one sky 
All so important and all so involved 
Here on a trigger a disciple of fear 
As we wait without knowing if we're hits of the year
