The Wreck of the Fairchild English Translation by Thomas Dolby Lyrics

[Whiskey Zulu]
"Whiskey Zulu to Tower, aircraft in difficulty, request immediate permission to land, over!"
"Whiskey Zulu to Tower, trying to level up, zero visibility, engine not responding, over!"
"Calling Base, repeat, 15 minutes of fuel remaining, emergency, emergency!"

[Tower]
"Base Control to Whiskey Zulu, permission denied, permission denied, over and out."

[Whiskey Zulu]
"Engine failure, Engine failure, engine one down, please..."

[Tower]
"Base Control to Whiskey Zulu, the military airport... permission denied"

[Whiskey Zulu]
"Undercarriage (not altitude?!) too low, I don't think we can make it, I don't think we can make it!!"

[Tower]
"Control to Whiskey Zulu, slow down, slow down"

[Whiskey Zulu]
"Whiskey Zulu to Tower...$&%/...gk&$/&ls... radar not working"
[Tower]
"I repeat., one, two, three... meg.. 123 FM MegaHertz, MegaHertz"

[Thomas Dolby]
Some fruit are sweet, and some are poison
In the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit...'
