This song is about someone I met once, maybe we all know her kind: Never satisfied with what she's got, always looking for something better.
I just started singing "Full Flight Julie" to some chords I was playing and I realized that those words fit perfectly to a girl I used to know. She was never satisfied, but always looking for better, bigger, more prestige, more wealth. I watched her playing her game and I was thinking whether she had any friends left, because she turned her back on everyone she had known, searching for whatever she thought would be better...
Nobody will catch you, it's a bit like trying to catch the wind.
Nobody can hold you, you don't even see, how you make their heads spin.
And its:
Full Flight Julie, Julie
Full Flight Julie, Julie
Full Flight, my sweet Julie
Full Flight Julie, Julie
Full Flight Julie, Julie
Full Flight Julie, always in full flight
Julie, hold your horses, find yourself some peace and try to settle down.
Home is where the heart is, but your heart never stays, it keeps jumping around.
And its:
Full Flight Julie, Julie....
Oh, you always wanted to be free.
Oh, but now you face reality.
You think you found your freedom , more or less
But what you really found was loneliness.
I hope my words will reach you, touch you passing by and leave a little scratch.
Enough to make you slow down and contemplate, that's all I ask, from you, my love.
And its:
Full Flight Julie, Julie.....
