International Jet Set Lyrics - More Specials - Specials

Good evening ladies and gentlemen 

This is your captain speaking 

Welcome aboard DC-10 flight number 1313 

We will be cruising at a height of twenty five thousand feet at an air speed of sixty hundred miles per hour 

Headphones will be provided by request for a varied program of in flight music 

Have a good flight 

Safety belts and sickness bags, jet lag downer pills 

Duty free booze and fags make me feel ill 

A vapor trail from A to B, away from normal sanity 

It all seems so absurd to me 

I've seen the carpets on the walls of hotels rooms around the world 

I never want to hear the screams of the teenage girls in other peoples dreams 

Spread the disease, from the south China sea 

To the beach hotel Malibu 

Phone my girlfriend to ask her "How's her weekend?" 

I say "Hi, Terry here", and she says "Terry who, the hell are you?" 

The businessmen are having fun are they on a different plane to me 

I've lost touch with reality, they all seem so absurd to me 

Like well dressed chimpanzees 

Spend and spend and spend and spend 

Will the muzak never end? 

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking 

Due to expected engine failures we will be forced to attempt an emergency landing 

Please remain seated, extinguish all cigarettes, and fasten safety belts 

Follow the emergency procedures laid out in the pamphlet located in front of your seats 

For normal breathing, oxygen masks will be released from the compartment above your head 

Please remain calm and follow the instructions of your stewardess at all times 

This is a recording
