Flying Aces High TOO much? Whenever I think I'm flying it too much I just grab a beer, turn on my amp and start playing my much-neglected guitar. Anyway, I decided to write a song about Aces High, so I called it "Aces High", and recorded it this weekend in my little home studio. Style is classic rock. Click here (http://artists.mp3s.com/artist_song/1756/1756038.html) to listen. For me, it's time to fly again, especially since Mindanao is back! :)

Bravo! Here are the lyrics- hope you don't mind- for those that don't download the MP3.
Lyrics
Crawling upon me like ants in a bad dream
they settle upon me and tear at my heart
Circling and zooming and everything booming
I can't take much more my Spit's coming apart
Grasping the throttle and workin it hard
There are idiots screaming and yelling with glee
Now I'm a smokin and throwin off pieces
Cause all the Fat Drunk Bastards are shooting at me
Into the furball with reckless abandon
When all of the instincts within me say run
Watching and waiting and turnin and burnin
I gotta remember that its all in good fun
Crawling upon me like ants in a bad dream
they settle upon me and tear at my plane
Circling and zooming and everything booming
I can't take much more cause I'm going insane
Aces High, Almighty God
They'll fly me to the ground
Aces High oh me oh my
Don't let them
Shoot me down
This correlation
Subjugation permutation
Explaining no part
Of this long interrogation
Put the nose down hard
And looked up to the sky
Put down thy red guitar and fly
Fly...
Hahaha
Put the nose down hard
And looked up to the sky
Put down thy red guitar and fly
Into the furball with reckless abandon
When all of the instincts within me say run
Watching and waiting and turnin and burnin
I gotta remember that its all in good fun
Grasping the throttle and workin it hard
There are idiots screaming and yelling with glee
Now I'm a smokin and throwin off pieces
Cause all the Fat Drunk Bastards are shooting at me
Aces High, Almighty God
They'll fly me to the ground
Aces High oh me oh my
Don't let them
Shoot me down
Leave now to climb the mountain
One way trip to the summit
Leave behind the workplace roadkill
The interpersonal strife
Fly on to the end run
Peace and calm without
I don't plan to bring necessities
I don't plan to bring the wife
Put down at Dobodura
Dig the nose right in
Sever the ropes that bind us
With my red Swiss Army knife
Definitely need to hear this one to appreciate it. :eek: :cool:
-
ROFL I liked it! Especailly the "Pink Floyd" ending hehe. The room started spinning and crazy flowers popped out of my computer. Crazy man :)

I loved it.....my dog crawled under the couch. :D

Well I'm glad most everyone (so far) likes the song! I didn't figure it would have a bad effect on animals, though. I should have been more careful...

Any metal fans out there? Iron Maiden has a song Titled Aces High,
Aces High
Steve Harris
There goes the siren that warns of 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 wheelblocks 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 our spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press down my guns
Rolling, turning, diving
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.

Not to woory Biggles... Studley's dog runs under the couch every time he turns the computer on.

I feel better now! Thanks for clearing that up, Hangtime.
Those Iron Maiden lyrics are great. I'm going to have to try to track that song down, I don't think I've heard it. I'll see if audiogalaxy has it.

Hmmmm... it also bears noting that it ain't much of a dog, or it's one heluva couch.

Now all you need is to have hblair make a video for the song. ;)

Thanks again to everyone who has listened. The song did pretty well for a day or so, getting to a high of #23 in Classic Rock, which is a highly competitive genre (lots of big names in the top 40, usually). It's now down to #50 but that's the nature of the beast on mp3.com. :cool: A video would be cool!
