Long time ago when we was the band on the run 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 we ever get out of here) Back when income tax was all we had But it's all over now baby blue Long time ago when we was the band on the run Long time ago when we was the band on the run Band on the run! Long time ago when we was the band on the run (Take you away Take you away) 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) Back when income tax was all we had And you've really got a hold on me Long time ago when we was the band on the run Long time ago when we was the band on the run Band on the run! Long time ago when we was the band on the run
