Let's go! Yeah! Alright! Walking through the terminal I saw something beautiful You left, for your duty call Next I'm getting on the plane That's when I see you again I can't get you off my brain That uniform you're wearing So hot, I can't stop staring You're putting on an awesome show The cabin pressure's rising My coke has got no ice in now Air hostess, I like the way you dress You know I hate to fly but I feel much better Occupied my mind writing you a love letter I messed my pants when we flew over France Will I see you soon in my hotel room? For a holiday romance, air hostess Throwing peanuts down the aisle Stupid, but it made you smile You came over for a while Then you whispered in my ear The words that I longed to hear I want you to thrill me here You can't because you're working The paparazzi's lurking You didn't know I'm in a band In England people know me One photo's worth a hundred grand Air hostess, I like the way you dress You know I hate to fly but I feel much better Occupied my mind writing you a love letter I messed my pants when we flew over France Will I see you soon in my hotel room? For a holiday romance, air hostess That uniform you're wearing So hot, I can't stop staring You're putting on an awesome show The plane is almost landed So tell me where I'm standing now Air hostess, I like the way you dress You know I hate to fly but I feel much better Occupied my mind writing you a love letter I messed my pants when we flew over France Will I see you soon in my hotel room? For a holiday romance, air hostess 'Cause you're my air hostess I like the way you dress My air hostess My air hostess I like the way you dress My air hostess

The Prophet of Pain gave warning The punishment due Take heed of the early warning In time it was seen as true Four winds calling to Zamora Four winds of deceit For winds to the ghost of Yara For winds of defeat Bow down to the thief of all man The will to be tame Bow down to the thief of all men Only one time, only one to blame I lead the life unchosen Gave the lesson to the broken I heard the words unspoken Gave the lesson to the broken I lead the life unchosen Gave the lesson to the broken I heard the words unspoken Gave the lesson to the broken The beast in the skies had risen In time it would come The lands had begun their schism All bow to the fallen one Four winds calling to Zamora Four winds of deceit For winds to the ghost of Yara For winds of defeat Bow down to the thief of all man The will to be tame Bow down to the thief of all men Only one time, only one to blame I lead the life unchosen Gave the lesson to the broken I heard the words unspoken Gave the lesson to the broken I lead the life unchosen Gave the lesson to the broken I heard the words unspoken Gave the lesson to the broken I lead the life unchosen Gave the lesson to the broken I heard the words unspoken Gave the lesson to the broken I lead the life unchosen Gave the lesson to the broken I heard the words unspoken Gave the lesson to the broken

The warming sun returns again And melts away the snow The sea is freed from icy chains Winter is letting go Standing on the ocean side We can hear the waves Calling us out with tide To sail into our fate Odin! Guide our ships Our axes, spears and swords Guide us through storms that whip And in brutal war Our ships await us by the shore Time has come to leave Our country, family and homes For riches in the east Some of us won't return But that won't bring us down Our fate is written in the web Woven by the Norse A ram is sacrificed Across the long ship's bow And as we set our sails A strong breeze starts to blow It carries us out to sea With hope of fame and pride And glorious all will be That with sword in hand will die Odin! Guide our ships Our axes, spears and swords Guide us through storms that whip And in brutal war Odin! Guide our ships Our axes, spears and swords Guide us through storms that whip And in brutal war

Yeah Lies Look at me now just sitting here by myself And I think you found someone else Now I'm gonna have to find a way to put the bottle down And why can't you see that I'm drowning in a pool of misery I'm always afraid That you're gone away from me I'm always afraid that you're lost in somebody I'm always afraid That you're gone away from me I'm always afraid that you're lost So here I am, I don't wanna be by myself And I think you're fucking someone else Now I'm gonna have to find a way to take the knife out of my back And how could you leave me stranded in a closet full of bones I'm always afraid That you're gone away from me I'm always afraid that you're lost in somebody I'm always afraid That you're gone away from me I'm always afraid that you're lost Maybe you could let me stay Maybe just for one more day You could help me stay the same Maybe things won't ever change Maybe we could taste the rain You could all push me out the way Now I sit here by myself Think about somebody else How could you let them take you away from me There's somebody else, there's somebody else I'm always afraid That you're gone away from me I'm always afraid that you're lost in somebody I'm always afraid That you're gone away from me I"m always that you're gone I'm always afraid I'm always afraid I'm always afraid I'm always afraid I'm always afraid I'm always afraid Away from me

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify Can you help me occupy my brain? Oh yeah I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late It's too late It's too late

about

After Lovesick Soul, I wanted to do something new for recording. I had ideas in the past to do a cover album, but with so much that inspired me I had to choose carefully as I couldn't do everything I wanted. Nonetheless, it was about time I did some kind of tribute to musicians I've looked up to over the years, some even before I picked up a guitar almost a decade prior.

And so I was in the house of the Skinners once more throughout 2015 to record Air Strike For Cover, and released it during my 10th anniversary of playing guitar.

Important note: I do not own the copyright for any of the songs in this cover album. It is entirely free for download and not meant to make money off other artists' work.
