Paul McCartney & Wings - Band On The Run

Band on the Run is the third studio album by the British–American rock band Paul McCartney and Wings, released on 30 November 1973. It was McCartney's fifth album after leaving the Beatles in April 1970 and his final album on Apple Records. Although sales were modest initially, its commercial performance was aided by two hit singles – "Jet" and "Band on the Run" – such that it became the top-selling studio album of 1974 in the United Kingdom and Australia, in addition to revitalising McCartney's critical standing. It remains McCartney's most successful album and the most celebrated of his post-Beatles works.

Lyrics:
[Part I]

[Verse]
Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever
Never seeing no one nice again
Like you
Mama, you
Mama, you

[Part II]

[Verse]
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

[Part III]

[Verse 1]
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"

[Pre-Chorus]
Band on the run
Band on the run
And the jailer man and Sailor Sam
Were searching everyone

[Chorus]
For the band on the run
Band on the run
For the band on the run
Band on the run

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Band on the run
Band on the run
And the jailer man and Sailor Sam
Were searching everyone

[Chorus]
For the band on the run
Band on the run
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Yeah, the band on the run
The band on the run
The band on the run (Yeah!)
Band on the run

[Verse 3]
Well, the night was falling as the desert world
Began to settle down
In the town, they're searching for us everywhere
'Cause we never will be found

[Pre-Chorus]
Band on the run
Band on the run
And the county judge, who held a grudge
Will search forevermore

[Chorus]
For the band on the run
The band on the run
The band on the run (Yeah! Yeah!)
