about

Dirk, a pilot, wages war on public park groundsman and local lothario, Adam. In a bid to woo Adam's wife, Evie, and intimidate the scoundrel gardener, Dirk performs low level fly pasts

lyrics

I can see you walking and I see your ants are crawling.
Adam I just love your stadium stripes.
You can see me flying and I know that youʼve been lying.
Evie can you share those lonely nights?
Evie can you share those lonely nights?

Adams wants it greener, canʼt camouflage heʼs seen her.
I have everything we need to get us high.
I am no canteen cowboy, like your fanny bowser playboy.
Evie can you see me flying by?
Evie can you see me flying by?

Dirk is not a bogey
Heʼs ace and wears white socks.
Dirk is never lonely.
Heʼll Spike at three oʼclock.
Heʼs not your Johnnie Johnson, Dirk is no poster boy, but
Dirk will always take it on.
This Tonka not a toy.

Itʼs a little ostentatious, canʼt park in public places.
Impractical for family holidays.
But Evie have you seen me?
If you have believe me.
Evie we can struggle to the stars.
Evie we can struggle to the stars.

Dirk is not a bogey
Heʼs ace and wears white socks.
Dirk is never lonely.
Heʼll Spike at three oʼclock.
Heʼs not your Johnnie Johnson, Dirk is no poster boy, but
Dirk will always take it on.
This Tonka not a toy.

The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco Essex, UK

In 1957, Harley Earl designed the most beautiful automobile the world would ever see.

By 1960 the tail-fin was all but extinct.

In 2013 Harley Earl appeared to Essex chancers David Myers and Malcolm Moore in a dream.

‘Create melody and meaning that will allow the human race to move freely and without drag...

Be aer-o-dy-NAS-mic.

Be The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco’. ... more
