ALL ALONG THE WATERFRONT
WAITING FOR A PLANE
A 1000 MILES AWAY FROM HOME
WE SHOULD BE PLUM INSANE
BUT OUR PLATES ARE NEVER EMPTY
LORD THEY’RE FEEDING US AGAIN
A THOUSAND MILES AWAY FROM HOME
AND WAITING FOR A PLANE

I PULLED UP TO A PICK-UP TRUCK
JUST TO MAKE A LINE OF TALK
THEY SAID NO NEED TO BE BORED MY FRIEND
WE’VE ORGANISED A WALK
WELL WE MAY BE HERE A WEEK OR TWO
BUT YOU’VE TAKEN AWAY THE PAIN
WE FEEL RIGHT AT HOME IN GAMBO
AND WE’RE WAITING FOR A PLANE

WE’RE SLEEPING IN A CHURCH HERE
LIKE WE’VE NEVER DONE BEFORE
WE’RE STRETCHED ON COTS AND BENCHES
SOME SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR
WE’RE HEADING FOR THE GUINNESS BOOK
FOR THE ALL-TIME LOUDEST SNORE
IT’S GREAT TERRAIN
WE’RE FULL AGAIN
BEEN A LITTLE RAIN
BUT WE’RE TAKING THE STRAIN
A LITTLE INSANE
BUT IN THE MAIN
WE CAN’T COMPLAIN…..
WE’RE JUST WAITING FOR A PLANE

Additional verse:

NOW WE’RE BACK IN OUR OWN WORLD
WE’VE LEFT THE TREES BEHIND
OLDER AND SOMEWHAT WISER PARTS
OF THIS MESS WE CALL MANKIND
NOW EVERYTHING LOOKS DIFFERENT
IN WAYS WE CAN’T EXPLAIN
WE’VE SEEN THE BEST THAT WE CAN BE
WHILE WE WERE WAITING FOR A PLANE
