Oldfield, Mike - Five Miles Out Lyrics






What do you do when your falling
You've got 30 degrees and you're stalling out?
And it's 24 miles to your beacon
There's a crack in the sky and the warning's out

Don't take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!

Five miles out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out
You're Number 1, anticipating you

Climbing out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out
You're Number 1, anticipating you

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!
Calling all stations!
This is Golf-Mike-Oscar-Victor-Juliet
IMC CU. NIMB... icing
In great difficulty, over

The traffic controller is calling
"Victor-Juliet, your identity
I have you lost in the violent storm!
Communicate or squawk 'Emergency'!"

Don't take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!

Lost in static, 18
And the storm is closing in now
Automatic, 18!
(Got to push through!)
Trapped in living hell!

Your a prisoner of the dark sky
The propeller blades are still!
And the evil eye of the hurricane's
Coming in now for the kill

Our hope's with you
Rider in the blue
Welcome's waiting, we're anticipating
You'll be celebrating, when you're down and braking

Climbing out
(Climbing, climbing)
Five miles out
(Climbing, climbing)

Five miles out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)

Five miles out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)

Climbing out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)

Five miles out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)

Climbing out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)

Climbing out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...

  1. m.... V....

    Vai di effetto tensione rilascio.... Vai vai....! 1:30.....ma sembra a me o kliccando sul numero attivo qualche volta viene in mente la colonna sonora di flasc gordon dei queen...? Eppure quella e antecedente.... :-)

  4. F.... ....

    My favorite Oldfield song! But Crisis is my favorite Album.

  5. A.... Q....

    I love this song. Firstly it has amazing musicality (thank you Mike) including a lovely heavy guitar riff, which being a bit of a metalhead I love, secondly it's unusual, being a bit of prog rock, and thirdly, because I by profession am an aerospace engineer and it's obvious in the lyrics he has some technical knowledge of aeroplanes. Plus Maggie Reilly's beautiful voice. What's not to love?

  6. H.... B....

    Aeroplanes! They are Aeroplanes you ignorant gits!

  7. m.... m....

    She is nice

  8. S.... G....

    This video is bad for carbon emissions

  11. D.... T....

    Simply cool^^Thanks for upload!

  12. S.... O....

    S.... O....

    Watch for @ Chris Tain ‘s response... Mike Oldfield created many things...dark metal and the guteral growl is no exception.. :

  13. P.... C....

    Thank you so much for the best video on Youtube ever👍

    Muy bueno, como se nota que en los ochentas aun no se fumigaba

  15. T.... S....

    Why isnt a Song like this in trends

  16. U.... D....

    Ich habe mit Leuten wie "Mike Oldfield, Alan Parsons, James Watt und David Gilmour" an einen Tisch gesessen. Jeder von denen hat seinen musikalischen Charakter, wie man auch hier wieder hört. Jeder kennt diesen Track. Typisch Oldfield, aber immer gut zu hören !

  17. U.... D....

    I sat down with people like "Mike Oldfield, Alan Parsons, James Watt, and David Gilmour." Each of them has its musical character, as we hear here again. Everyone knows this track. Typically Oldfield, but always good to hear!

  18. J.... P....

    Relaxing video! Thanks a lot!.

  19. t.... ....

    So good. Thanks for the video. I believe me dear old mum received this album on cassette from a "friendd" back in the 80s!

  20. T.... C....

    The airplanes and plane fighters are beautiful

  21. r.... s....

    I have readen all you comments, but no one has understood, what he meant!

    r.... s....

    As far as I know, the song is about a flight (where he himself was the pilot), where he had lost orientation due to fog.

  22. E.... P....

    When alls airplane companies around the world decide to flight on the same musicair, that sound like a song of humanity!

  23. P.... L....

    Masterpiece

  24. C.... T....

    1:53 Mike Oldfield invented the Death Metal Growl.

    C.... T....

    Yes, and there’s another video proving it.. I’m gonna try and post it soon...

  25. R.... L....

    W zeszłym roku leciałem samolotem do Maroka.Nuda.Pomyslalem,że szkoda,że nie można włączyć smartfona i tego video.Byloby trochę adrenalinie

  26. S.... G....

    1:14 I'm gonna miss the KC-135

  27. G.... o....

    One of the best albums ever made.

  28. D.... L....

    Love it

  29. x.... ....

    Fabulous vid to legendary music....

  30. T.... M....

    Ahhhmaggie riley...voice of an angel

  31. k.... p....

    Najpiękniejszy utwór świata ♥;-)

  32. I.... T....

    I love it

  33. L.... K....

    Perfect

  34. J.... P....

    Weird singing! Reminds me of another Oldfield song with that young boy singing!

    J.... P....

    You mean Picutures in the Dark, I suppose. Another of Mike Oldfields best songs.

  35. L.... K....

    Beautiful

  36. A.... L....

    From which system is that "climbing climbing" warning voice? TCAS is from the end of the 80s, but this song from '82. And the GPWS warning is "pull up", so i am curious.

    A.... L....

    Mike oldfield sings most of the lyrics though a vocoder in order to make it sound like a radio transmission

    A.... L....

    It doesn't matter, when it is just art...Sir.

  37. b.... ....

    As a naked listen, i can see why autotune took over the vocoder. Other than that, damn this is a fresh track.

    b.... ....

    beesland vocoder was only for an interesting effect for the song. Autotune is for idiots who cant sing.

    b.... ....

    The Mongoose The vocoder could’ve been used for that, too, considering Mike wasn’t the best singer

  38. J.... F....

    1:18 fat mouthy orange blob in transit

    J.... F....

    Jack F dumbass lefty asshole making political comments at 4months ago.

    J.... F....

    That's actually mainly meant for use by the Vice President, Secretary Of State, and the First Lady, not the president.

  39. T.... R....

    Brilliant video and music...

  40. J.... F....

    Alright!

  41. T.... M....

    What a great video!

  42. v.... n....

    0:34 RIP Air Berlin.

  43. L.... ....

    L.... ....

  44. R.... M....
