Band on the Run
Пол Маккартни & Wings Lyrics

Stuck inside these four walls
Feeling trapped and confined within a limited space

Sent inside forever
Believing that there is no way out of this unwanted situation

Never seeing no one
Being lonely and isolated without any human interaction

Nice again like you
Desiring the company of a specific person who is comforting and enjoyable to be around

Mama you, mama you
Expressing the desire for maternal comfort and support

If I ever get out of here
Hoping for a chance to escape the confinement and limitations of the current situation

Thought of giving it all away
Considering complete surrender and giving up all possessions or responsibilities

To a registered charity
Donating all possessions to a charitable organization

All I need is a pint a day
Suggesting a dependence on alcohol for coping with the stress and hardship of life

If we ever get out of here
Referring to a situation that involves more than just the singer, suggesting the presence of a group of people in a similar predicament

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
Describing a sudden and powerful downpour of rain

As we fell into the sun
Imagining a sudden escape and ascent into the sky towards the sun, suggesting freedom and relief

And the first one said to the second one there
Introducing a conversation between two people who are part of a group fleeing from confinement

I hope you're having fun
Sarcastically commenting on the situation and suggesting that there is little enjoyment to be had in their current predicament

Band on the run
Referring to the group escaping from confinement, perhaps with musical instruments in tow

And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Identifying those who are searching for the escaped group, emphasizing the danger and risk involved in the escape

Were searching every one
Looking closely and thoroughly for any sign of the escaped group

For the band on the run
Emphasizing the urgency and intensity of the search for the escapees

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Describing a sign of sadness at the thought that the escaped group will likely not survive for long

Seeing no one else had come
Realizing that no one else will be joining the escaped group in their flight to freedom

And a bell was ringing in the village square
Suggesting a warning or alarm at the escape of the group

For the rabbits on the run
Metaphorically associating the escaped group with rabbits who are hunted by predators and in danger of being caught

Yeah, the band on the run
Repeating the chorus to emphasize the continued flight and danger

Well, the night was falling as the desert world
Setting the scene in a vast, open desert at night, suggesting the danger and harshness of the environment

Began to settle down
Seeing a calm and stillness descend on the environment around the escapees

In the town they're searching for us everywhere
Emphasizing the reach and intensity of the search party

But we never will be found
Emphasizing the determination and willpower of the escapees to avoid recapture

And the county judge who held a grudge
Identifying the person who is leading or organizing the search for the escapees

Will search for evermore
Suggesting that the search could go on indefinitely, reflecting the determination of the authorities to catch the escapees

For the band on the run
Reiterating the central metaphor of the song and emphasizing the continued flight and danger
