Hits Of The Year Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

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
