    -Maurice,

    I think you are refering to Lenny Kravitz's Fly Away! Good tune!

    I wish that I could fly
    Into the sky
    So very high
    Just like a dragonfly

    I'd fly above the trees
    Over the seas in all degrees
    To anywhere I please

    Oh I want to get away
    I want to fly away
    Yeah yeah yeah

    Oh I want to get away
    I want to fly away
    Yeah yeah yeah

    Let's go and see the stars
    The milky way or even Mars
    Where it could just be ours

    Let's fade into the sun
    Let your spirit fly
    Where we are one
    Just for a little fun
    Oh oh oh yeah !

    I want to get away
    I want to fly away
    Yeah yeah yeah

    I want to get away
    I want to fly away
    Yeah yeah yeah

    I got to get away
    Feel I got to get away
    Oh oh oh yeah

    I want to get away
    I want to fly away
    Yeah with you yeah yeah
    Oh Yeah !

    I want to get away
    I want to fly away
    Yeah with you yeah yeah
    I got to get away

    I want to get away X4
    Yeah
    I want to get away
    I want to fly away
    Yeah with you yeah yeah
    I got to get away

    I want to get away X4
    Yeah

    I want to get away
    I want to fly away
    Yeah with you
    Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

    Enjoy!

    -Pete

    Elevation by U2 (from 2000's All That You Can't Leave Behind)
    - Not an airplane song persay, but totally about flying (whichever way you take it!)

    High, higher than the sun
    You shoot me from a gun
    I need you to elevate me here

    A corner of your lips
    Is the orbit of your hips
    Eclipse
    You elevate my soul

    I've got no self control
    Been living like a mole now
    Going down, excavation
    Higher now, in the sky
    You make me feel like I can fly
    So high
    Elevation

    A star
    Lit up like a cigar
    Strung out like a guitar
    Maybe you can educate my mind

    Explain all these controls
    Can't sing but I've got soul
    The goal is elevation

    A mole
    Digging in a hole
    Digging up my soul now
    Going down, excavation

    Higher now
    In the sky
    You make me feel like I can fly
    So high
    Elevation

    Love
    Lift me out of these blues
    Won't you tell me something true
    I believe in you

    A mole
    Digging in a hole
    Digging up my soul now
    Going down, excavation

    Higher now
    In the sky
    You make me feel like I can fly
    So high
    Elevation

    Elevation
    Elevation
    Elevation
    Elevation

    -Pete

    Dash 7, by Wilco (From the 1995 album A.M.)



    Dash 7 in the air
    Dropped to the sun
    Alone

    Jets hum
    I wish that I was still there

    A prop's not a jet
    Alone
    Where the sun doesn't come down

    Because I've found the way those engines sound
    Will make you kiss the ground
    When you touch down

    Dash 7 pointed down
    The captain's announcement
    Doesn't make a sound

    Because I've found the way those engines sound
    Will make you kiss the ground
    I found the way those engines sound
    Will make you kiss the ground
    When you touch down

    Foo Fighters - A320

    There is a place I'd love to go
    Strangers takin' me there
    I dream about the day I learn to fly

    I'm afraid of aeroplanes
    Even though I act the way
    that it feels to be a person in the sky

    It's alright
    and it's good
    this time

    I look out and on the ground
    really don't believe it
    gravity can pull me from this height

    One day we'll come crashing down
    What will I do
    Never had a chance to say goodbye

    Close my eyes and hope that it's
    a real smooth flight
    this time
    Close my eyes and hope that it's
    a real smooth flight

    And it's good
    this time

    I look down and on the ground
    I look down and on the ground
    I look down and on the ground
    I look out, we're going down


    Okay, so it's about a plane crash. But I really like it, it's a beautiful song. Dave Grohl has written a number of songs about flying. This song was on the Godzilla soundtrack, from memory.

    This is a great idea for a thread - I've been trying to think of songs about flying that I could put on a tape for my Dad's birthday.

    One of my favourite 'airplane'-related songs is "Takeoffs and Landings" by The Ataris:


    On this coldest of January nights
    We drive out past the runway and watch the planes go flying by
    The runway lights are the deepest blue like the colors of your eyes
    So close them tight and kiss me one last time

    If you could go anywhere right now
    Where would you go?
    And would you miss me when you get there?
    No place that I would rather be
    Please don't let me go falling from the sky
    The "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out
    If only you could be right here by my side
    Home wouldn't seem so far from here

    Passport, customs, carry on, remember
    To shut off all of your electronic devices
    Fell asleep on Tuesday woke up Monday afternoon
    I slept right through your International Date Line

    If you could go anywhere right now
    Where would you go?
    And would you miss me when you get there?
    No place that I would rather be
    Please don't let me go falling from the sky
    The "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out
    If only you could be right here by my side
    Home wouldn't seem so far from here

    Please don't let me go falling from the sky
    The "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out
    If only you could be right here by my side
    Home wouldn't seem so far from here


    The ATC that you can hear in the middle part of the song is awesome and adds a nice touch.

    Great song.

    The Replacements "Waitress In The Sky":

    She don't wear no pants and she don't wear no tie
    Always on the ball, she's always on strike
    Struttin' up the aisle, big deal, you get to fly
    You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky
    You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

    Paid my fare, don't wanna complain
    You get to me, you're always outta champagne
    Treat me like a bum, don't wear no tie
    'cause you ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky
    You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

    And the sign says, "Thank you very much for not smoking"
    My own sign says, "I'm sorry, I'm smokin'"
    Don't treat me special, don't kiss my ass
    Treat me like the way they treat 'em up in first class

    Sanitation expert and a maintenance engineer
    Garbage man, a janitor and you my dear
    A real union flight attendant, my oh my
    You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky
    You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky
    You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

    Here they are... The Tragically Hip "Silver Jet":

    "There's a still in the night
    a tuneless moonlight
    just the I-need-you-and-here's-whys of
    snoring Gords and Cheryls
    there's a heron outside
    in violet light
    there's an urge to go, a shadow
    a heightened air of peril
    your heart jumps to
    and my heart jumps too
    I think, to myself "I don't really know my heart"
    and as you whisper 'me too'
    a silver jet roars overhead
    rocks the nocturne all everglade
    and grey sheers
    silver jet, so far off already
    fought the hot spurs off all the way
    to Cape Spear

    it's quiet again
    when a car like Big Ben
    the radio dopplerin'
    '...'for all you Gregory Peck fans...
    -Let Us Now Praise Famous Men-
    to take some pressure off all the wonderous
    to fight' and
    your heart jumps to
    and my heart jumps too
    as if the Wolves of Northhumberland themselves
    were rumoured to be en route
    silver jet, way overhead
    you're an archipelago, a satellite,
    a green star
    silver jet, so far off already
    with your I-need-you-and-here's-why
    flying to the next part

    Your heart jumps to
    and my heart jumps too
    I'm thinking, to myself, 'packing,is a secret heart'
    and as you whisper, 'me too'
    siler jet roars overhead
    silver jet flying to the next part
    silver jet so far off already
    silver jet, a satellite, a green star
    silver jet way overhead
    silver jet evergladed grey sheers
    silver jet, so far off already
    silver jet Clayqout sound to Cape Spear."

    Yeah!

    Or this one (with similar title) from Mr. Tom Petty:

    "Well I started out down a dirty road
    Started out all alone
    And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
    And the town lit up, the world got still

    I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
    Coming down is the hardest thing

    Well the good ol' days may not return
    And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

    I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
    Coming down is the hardest thing

    Well some say life will beat you down
    Break your heart, steal your crown
    So I've started out, for God knows where
    I guess I'll know when I get there

    I'm learning to fly, around the clouds,
    But what goes up must come down

    I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
    Coming down is the hardest thing."
