Band on the Run
ポール・マッカートニー & Wings Lyrics

Stuck inside these four walls
Feeling trapped and unable to leave a confined space

Sent inside forever
Believing that there is no way out and that this is a permanent situation

Never seeing no one
Being isolated and alone

Nice again like you
Longing for the comfort and companionship of the person they are addressing

Mama you, mama you
Referring to the person they are addressing as a mother figure, someone they can turn to for help and support

If I ever get out of her,
Hoping for a way out of the current situation to escape confinement and isolation

Thought of giving it all away
Considering the possibility of relinquishing all possessions and worldly belongings

To a registered charity.
Donating to a worthy cause in order to give back to the community and make a difference

All I need is a pint a day
Expressing a desire for simplicity and contentment, needing only a basic necessity to survive

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
Describing a sudden and intense storm that comes out of nowhere

As we fell into the sun
Suggesting a sudden and unexpected journey, taking a leap of faith into the unknown

And the first one said to the second one there
Referencing a conversation between two people on this journey

I hope you're having fun
Posing a rhetorical question to express doubts and fears about the journey ahead

Band on the run, band on the run
Repeating the phrase as a chorus to emphasize the theme of the song

And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Describing the people who are chasing and pursuing the band mentioned earlier in the song

Were searching every one
Showing the desperation of the people who are searching, as they leave no stone unturned in their pursuit

For the band on the run
Highlighting the central theme of the song, the idea of escape and the pursuit of freedom

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Describing the sense of hopelessness and despair that is present in this world

Seeing no one else had come
Realizing that there is no one who can help or provide assistance

And a bell was ringing in the village square
Portraying a sense of urgency and impending danger, signaling that time is running out

For the rabbits on the run
Linking the theme of escape and pursuit to the animal world, showing that the struggle for freedom is universal and ongoing

Yeah the band on the run
Reinforcing the central theme of escape, showing that the band is still evading capture and pursuing freedom

Well, the night was falling as the desert world
Setting the scene for the final act of the song, as darkness descends and the intensity of the chase increases

Began to settle down.
Signaling the end of the chase and the beginning of a new era

In the town they're searching for us everywhere
Showing the relentlessness of the pursuit and the overwhelming odds against the band

But we never will be found
Expressing a sense of defiance and resilience, refusing to be caught and refusing to give up

And the county judge who held a grudge
Introducing a new character, someone who has a personal vendetta against the band

Will search for evermore
Suggesting that the pursuit will never end, that the band will always be looking over their shoulders

For the band on the run
Reiterating the central theme of escape and freedom, showing that despite the adversity and challenges, the band remains free and always on the run

Band on the run
A final refrain to emphasize the central theme and overall message of the song

Band on the run
A final refrain to emphasize the central theme and overall message of the song

Band on the run
A final refrain to emphasize the central theme and overall message of the song

Band on the run
A final refrain to emphasize the central theme and overall message of the song
