[Chorus]
Say you don't love him, my salamander
Why do you need him?
Oh no, don't answer, oh no
I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer to your heart

[Verse 1]
Keeping ahead of the rain on the road
Watching my windscreen wipers (wipers)
Radio, play me a danceable ode
Cattle beware of snipers (snipers)
Oh, oh

[Chorus 2]
When will you see me, my salamander?
Don't try to tell me
Oh no, don't answer, oh no
I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer to your heart

[Verse 2]
Hitting the chisel and making a joint
Gluing my fingers together (together)
Radio play me a song with a point
Sailor beware of weather (weather)
Oh, woah-oh

[Chorus 3]
I'm getting closer, my salamander
When will we be there?
Oh no, don't answer, oh no
I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer to your heart
I'm getting closer to your heart
I'm getting closer to your heart

[Outro]
Getting closer
Closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer, closer

Paul McCartney and Wings, also known simply as Wings, were an Anglo-American rock band formed in 1971 by former Beatle Paul McCartney with his wife Linda McCartney on keyboards, session drummer Denny Seiwell, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine. Wings were noted for frequent personnel changes as well as commercial success, going through three lead guitarists and four drummers. However, the core trio of the McCartneys and Laine remained intact throughout the group’s existence until 1981.
