NO LIMIT (TO HOW FAR YOU CAN GO)
©Trev Teasdel Feb 1981 Middlesbrough
I met her on the Trans-Atlantic jet from New York
She was playing hostess to business diplomats.
She said “where do you come from?” I said “Mexico”
She said “There’s no limit, to how far you can go,
Absolutely no limit to how far you can go”
I pulled out my credit card, a smile hit her lips
She had a spare folder, the card it did fit.
The plane it took off, flying high in the sky.
She said “There’s no limit, to how high you can fly,
Absolutely no limit to how high you can fly”
BRIDGE (Spoken with an American accent)
And then she walked in, wearing only her body.
She led him down the corridor and into the cock-pit.
Then she opened her folder, his eyes they bulged
And as she slid his card inside, she discovered
His credit limit had been exceeded.
And after we landed, with ground ‘neath out feet
She followed me down the steps and into the street.
I said “Why do you follow?” She said “don’t you know?”
I said “There’s a limit, to how far we can go,
And this is the limit to how far we can go”
……….
Written when we needed some new songs in 1981.I opened the Observer Colour magazine and landed on an advert for American Express Card. There was a photo of a businessman handed his card to the airline hostess with the caption “There’s no limit to how far you can go with American Express”, so the song takes that a bit further and the protagonist gets his comeuppance in the bridge! Two versions here with Steve Gillgallon on guitar and bass.
