Bill Hosie şarkı sözleri

Bill Hosie built a plane, a survivor from the Schneider Trophy Reign. He seemed like a nice old guy, with his baseball cap and his sunlit eyes. He took the airframe, motor, and wings, and restored all the fabric, the floats, the struts and things And "The Shark on Banana Skis" was set to roar once more over Cornwall seas. In the "27" Schneider race, it was a Supermarine that took first place. The year Bill Hosie was born, there were still tall ships sailing 'round Cape Horn, But the S5 Supermarine was the fastest seaplane the world had ever seen, Nearly 300 miles an hour with a Napier Lion engine to give her power. And her daughters flew in World War Two, their pilots were known as the first of the few. When the Battle of Britain raged, the Spitfire blazed across a history page, But Bill Hosie had a dream to haunt the skys with the ghost of a Supermarine And she rose on the steppe again with the spirit of a Schneider Trophy-winning seaplane. She took to the cool spring air with Bill Hosie sitting in the pilot's chair. She banked along the Cornwall shore, but her tail broke away and she flew no more. She flew from her flight of grace the year they revived the Schneider Trophy Race And the Supermarine S5 was the plane that Bill Hosie made feel alive.
