He has a strong interest in the welfare of people caught up in international conflicts and cares about what is going on." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic ChrisC Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 "Hello Christine. What would you like me to sing while I fly you to safety?". "Well, Mr. Dickinson, how about Aces High?" "OK, hang on tight, love, and don't spill that beer". "There goes the siren that warns off the air raid Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne Got to get up for the coming attack. Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines Remove all the wheel blocks there's no time to waste Gathering speed as we head down the runway Gotta get airborne before it's too late Running, scrambling, flying Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers Let off a sharp burst and then turn away Roll over, spin round and come in behind them Move to their blindsides and firing again Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us Ten ME-109's out of the sun Ascending and turning out spitfires to face them Heading straight for them I press my guns. Rolling, turning, diving Rolling, turning, diving, goin' again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high."

balogna pogna Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) I'm assuming that the Queen will have to make him a Knight him for this one. Maybe they can do a live show at the Palace and release "Maiden Buckingham" as a live DVD/CD. I bet Ozzy's pissed.
