Lyrics

[00:39.50] There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
[00:43.50] Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
[00:47.50] Out for the scramble we've got to get airborn
[00:51.50] Got to get up for the coming attack.
[00:54.50] Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
[00:58.50] Remove all the wheelblocks theres no time to waste
[01:02.50] Gathering speed as we head down the runway
[01:05.50] Gotta get airborne before it's too late.
[01:16.50][01:09.50] Running, scrambling, flying
[01:13.50] Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
[01:20.50] Rolling, turning, diving
[01:24.50] Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
[01:36.50] Won't You?
[01:38.50] Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high.
[02:50.50] Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
[02:53.50] Let of a sharp burst and then turn away
[02:57.50] Roll over, spin round to come in behind them
[03:00.50] Move to their blindsides and firing again.
[03:04.50] Bandits at 8 O'clock move in behind us
[03:07.50] Ten ME-109's out of the sun
[03:11.50] Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them
[03:14.50] Heading straight for them I press down my guns.
[03:18.50] Rolling, turning, diving
[03:22.50] Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
[03:25.50] Rolling, turning, diving
[03:32.50] Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
[03:45.50] Won't You?
[03:53.50][03:47.50] Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high.
