International Jet Set The Specials

[Intro: Lynval Golding]
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 25,000 feet at an air speed of 600 miles per hour
Headphones will be provided by request for a varied program of in flight music
Have a good flight

[Verse 1: Terry Hall]
Safety belts and sickness bags, jet lag downer pills
Duty free, booze and fags make me feel ill
A vapour 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

[Verse 2: Terry Hall]
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
