Music Monday: Wings and “Band On The Run”
Posted By RichC on June 24, 2024
After starting this Music Monday post, I realized the song “Band On The Run” has been mentioned a couple of times before. Once with Paul McCartney’s band Wings … and the other Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers.
Nevertheless, the song caught my ear when on SiriusXM’s station The Bridge, so I’ll include it again for the summer of 2024.

Lyrics …
Band On The Run (1973 but remastered in 2010)
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 outta here
If we ever get outta of hereWell, 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 every one
For the band on the run,
Band on the run
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…
