jon bunting – amelia airhart كلمات اغاني
people always see, the brightest screen, in the hall
unless they learn to look past gimmicks
and party tricks
the first time she flew, was with halkes, 1920
he flew so cold and calculated
but hit the notes
the air had no hills, aviation was very new
she phone-sold weight loss pills, to save for flight school
amelia earhart thought she could work hard and
fly a plane
watching planes with wide eyes, she hoped she could fly and she would, she would, she would, she would, she would
she -ssumed all she had to do, was fly her best, like at school
but if you want to live in a strange field you got
to sell yourself
to her, a barnstormer was just a gimmick, fuel inefficient
some guy with dollar signs in his eyes
noticed her
“how’d you like to be the first girl to
fly the pond?
only as a static p-ssenger, but we won’t tell”
she reluctantly agreed, sat and watched
four men fly
she felt like of a “sack of potatoes”
in the back
they landed in the england sun, to cheering crowds
the pilots played along, and kissed the ground
amelia earhart had to lie about her art
to get exposed
she didn’t want to be a barnstormer, but
she would, she would, she would, she would, she would
a businessman who claimed to soar named
george putham told her
“i could make you and me so much money
follow my lead”
he booked gigs in the sky, giving film stars plane rides
the 6th time he proposed, amelia sighed
and said “sure”
money came in missiles, george would bomb, her second fiddles
he wanted her to be the only female pilot
we’d remember
amelia now lost turned to a old aviatrix
she asked for some advice, some desperate help
to focus herself
“amelia i know you know
it’s alright this is for show
we are making money
we are spreading hope
we believe in the future, where anyone can fly
get the kids excited with tricks in the sky
it’s not the altimeter that turns the heads of youth
it’s the fun ways to put it to use
ruth elder, elsie mackay, mabel boll, louis thaden
flew but didn’t have their george
to be the best is not enough, you have to bring the interest to you
so that’s exactly what amelia went on to do
