Hoodoo Gurus - I Was A Kamikaze Pilot Lyrics






I was a, was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it
Taught how to take off, I don't know how to land
They say it doesn't matter and I just cannot understand
I was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it home

Left my happy homeland in a Zero
Got engine trouble so I couldn't be a hero
Do you think I care?
Now I'll keep my two feet on the ground
'Cause when you're in the clouds
Everybody tries to shoot you down
I was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it home
I couldn't fly it home

On an island there ain't too much to do
Look after number one because I think
I can see Lee Marvin chasin' after you

I was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it home
I couldn't fly it home
I couldn't fly it home

Cherry blossoms falling down
Cherry blossoms falling down
Cherry blossoms falling down
Cherry blossoms falling down

    They did an intro back in the 80s for MTV for "I Want You Back". All the band members looked like serious drug users, and Faulkner looked like a burnout waiting to happen...

    So Dave and one of the others gets on the screen and they say:
    (member): "We're the Hoodoo Gurus!"
    (Dave): "On MTV!"
    (member): "Who Are You?"
    (Dave): "And what are you on?"

    ROTFLMAO.
