Wings - Band On The Run Lyrics






Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever
Never seeing no one nice again,
Like you, mama
You, mama...
You...

If I ever get out of here
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity.
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here
(if we ever get out of here)

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to the second one there,
"I hope you're having fun."

Band on the run, band on the run
And the jailer man,
And sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the band on the run, band on the run.
For the band on the run, band on the run.

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And a bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbits on the run.

Band on the run, band on the run
And the jailer man,
And sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the band on the run, band on the run.

Yeah, the band on the run
The band on the run
Band on the run
Band on the run

Well, the night was falling
As the desert world began to settle down
In the town they're searching for us everywhere
But we never will be found

Band on the run, band on the run
And the county judge, who held a grudge
Will search for ever more.
For the band on the run
Band on the run
Band on the run
Band on the run

  15. S.... M....

    This one show is what ruined Paul's voice

  16. w.... ....

    I saw Wings in around 1977. I'm still hyper! I saw Paul rehearsing in London. Still hyper. I went on the Apple rooftop twice, 2003 and 2009. Still hyper. I visited Abbey road studios, studio 2. Still hyper. I visited Paul's Forthlin Rd childhood home twice. Still hyper. I had my photo taken outside his Sussex Icklesham recording studio. Still hyper. I visited the Casbah club in Hayman's Green, Liverpool and chatted to Rory Best. Still hyper. I visited The Cavern, Liverpool. Still hyper. I visited Trident studios London and heard the Master tapes of Hey Jude. Still hyper.

  17. G.... H....

    No One Told Me When To Run?

  18. d.... c....

  19. C.... o....

    Lennon mcarthney

  28. J.... J....

    That bass by Paul 😍

  29. m.... s....

    Band On The Run is a great Medley - Paul used side 2 of Abbey Road as a warm up to follow thru with the same technique.. What an incredible musician he is and has always been. His singing here is PRIME.

  30. R.... B....

    Wings are even cooler than the Beatles.

  31. A.... K....

    2:09 Robert De Niro ?

  32. E.... C....

    Padre eterno, cada nota en su lugar, un verdadero máster del bajo

  33. A.... o....

    This is when McCartney sang lead for Thunderclap Newman

  34. R.... G....

    Man, I'm sure I've seen this dude before. Was he by any chance a Beatle?

  35. S.... E....

    I prefer these & George to the beatle's to be honest ❤

  48. A.... F....

    Qué preciosidad de canción !!!😺😺😺

  49. o.... e....

    Quedo loco yo

  50. M.... ....

    It must have been so different for Paul to be in Wings and actually perform

    M.... ....

    Well we better thank kinda for encouraging Paul to make music and have another band

    M.... ....

    Paul likely wanted to giveup music at that time in 70s all that Beatles breakup thing could make him depressed

    M.... ....

    @John Brian Catedrilla Yeah I can't even imagine the stress of it all

  51. R.... A....

    I am expecting to hear John to sing backing vocals

    R.... A....

    Yep for me the album one sounds like lennonish though

  52. A.... S....

    Incredible bass sound, very heavy.

  53. V.... P....

    The best Beatles Line up since The Beatles broke up🤘

  54. A.... V....

    En el año 2003, la revista rolling stone ubico a banda en fuga en el puesto 418 de 500...nunca puede haber 417 albunes mejores q banda en fuga...jamas...en un ranking de 10 se unicaria 5to, solo por detras de 4. Q sabe la revista R.S..ni idea

  55. B.... ....

    i've got goosebumps as big as 🐘

  56. S.... M....

    *_"BAND ON THE RUN" WINGS_* 👍😎 🌎🌍🌏

  57. k.... I....

    Один из любимых концертов на DVD (откуда этот фрагмент) !!! Видео-ряд , звук и конечно исполнение просто супер !!! Классика !!!

  58. M.... b....

    Almost christmas December 2019
    Still listening

  59. G.... H....

    I'm so used to seeing videos of the 70+ year-old Paul playing this song (amazingly) - my first reaction to seeing this vid (which I've seen many time before) was "Hey - who does this kid think he is - playing Paul's song like it was his own?" and then "oops - oh yeah."

  60. s.... w....

    he kinda sounds like that one singer in the Beatles

  61. J.... S....

    I don't want to give back the Eagle family name until I am out of this stinking town of Crescent City Ca. Relay the message now.

  62. D.... R....

    Amazing! Loved the Beatles!
    This was a Fantastic Song ...
    Paul McCartney was Awesome but they were alllll UNBELIEVABLE!

  63. L.... Y....

    What bass is paul using??

  64. s.... ....

    That Paul guy reminds me of somebody from another band, odd.

  65. r.... b....

    i liked paul mcartney and the wings more than the beatles................

  66. J.... S....

    OBRA MAESTRA SIR PAUL

  67. c.... ....

    This guy uses Paul McCartney's name but he is not the original Paul. 'Faul' is nothing more than a celebrity imitator. The real Paul McCartney disappeared in late 1966, legally today he would be considered dead. ''':::>>/

  68. F.... D....

    Robert de Niro on guitars

  69. J.... ....

    Band on the Run is my favorite Wings album followed by Venus and Mars. Flowers in the Dirt is my favorite JPM solo album followed by RAM. Help! is my favorite early Beatles' album, although all early Beatles are great. Let It Be is my favorite later Beatles' album.

    J.... ....

    complete agreement

  70. S.... A....

    Hermosa canción magistralmente interpretada por el lincomfundible Paul Mccartney

  71. V.... R....

    Wait is that Wings? The ones that where part of The Beatles?

  72. �.... �....

    Jimmy is super !

  73. �.... ....

    Like to see Linda & Paul on the same stage.... This was the best part of Paul & Linda.... RIP Linda...🙏

  74. T.... C....

    2019
    YT music lovers, please list all the names who played
    the majority of instruments in making their album. Thank you!

  75. G.... ....

    What a masterpiece, RIP Linda and Jimmy (Guitarist next to Denny)

  76. J.... W....

    looking back those 2 neck guitars make the player look an arrogant prat!

  77. �.... �....

    paul the best

  78. G.... A....

    Great singing Billy Shepherd.

  79. T.... R....

    I always like the live versions of Band on the Run better than the studio version. Don't get me wrong the studio version is phenomenal, but the live versions have more of a hard rock vibe to them that I like

  80. m.... g....

    I wish I could be that Paul on that tour on that song on stage. Jesus.

  81. T.... ....

    So good song

  82. M.... B....

    The guitar intro Jimmy plays, does anyone know if he wrote that part or if Paul did?

  83. �.... �....

    Спасибо!!! 👍👍👍❤❤❤

  84. T.... C....

    2019
    Musicianship (multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire).
    Singer (superb).
    Songwriter (great but most of his lyrics are not poetic).
    Singer-bassist (awesome).
    Macca has no equal.
    When he goes to meet the man on
    a flaming pie and bid us goodbye,
    the world of music will implode!
    Macca's music lives forevermore!!!
    Peace! Love! Rock and Roll!

  85. A.... F....

    RIP Jimmy McCullough

  86. J.... T....

    big THANK YOU to the genius on the soundboard that mixed in the bass lines at this show. wow.

  87. I.... Q....

  94. J.... G....

    Good god those basslines will never cease to send me to another dimension

  95. g.... b....

    The 2 most popular Beatle's were John and Paul! Both had solo careers! Whowas more successful? Paul and Linda or John and Yoko? I'd say Paul won hands down!!!

  96. c.... e....

    The soundtrack of my life, Paul McCartney and Wings!

  97. M.... C....

    12 string more in tune than the lp version..!
