Fylingdale Flyer

Through clear skies tracking lightly from far down the line
No fanfare, just a blip on the screen
No quick conclusions now - everything will be fine
Short circuit glitsch and not what it seems
Fylingdale Flyer - you're only half way there
Green screen liar - for a second or so we were running scared.

On late shift, feeling drowsy - eyes glued to display
Dead cert alert, lit match to the straw
One last quick game of bowls - we can still win the day
Fail - safe: forget the thing that you saw.

They checked the systems through and read A - O.K.
Same tiny fuse has probably blown
Sit back: relax and soon it will just go away
Keep your hands off that red telephone.
