Robert Calvert - Catch A Falling Starfighter lyrics

Catch a falling starfighter
Put it in the pocket of your jeans
You can use it as a cigarette lighter
Or as an opener for a can of beans
Catch a falling starfighter
Shine it up and wear it on a chain
You will find that it will be much brighter
If you empty out it's cockpit down the drain
If you empty out it's cockpit down the drain

I focused the magnifying glass
That brought the downfall of Icarus
Balloons were easy; a simple pin;
Or a knife in the case of the zeppelin
That blade was the cause of many a prang
In the early days of stick and string
I am the gremlin
I was there
Making mischief in the air
And always will be wherever man
Flies in the face of Creation's plan
