I know that the song I am looking for does not really fit here, but I desparately need the lyrics of the song FLY EDDIE FLY. The song was sung by Eddie "the Eagle" Edwards, a British ski jumper who achieved quite some fame in the 1980-ies (actually because of his lack of success) |

Eddie 1 He was different from the rest; wasn't sleek, wasn't sure, But deep inside his spirit longed to fly He lined up to be counted. He waited with the best And when his turn came round he had a try. Chorus: Fly like an eagle. Show us what it means To follow your dreams no matter how high Take us with you as you go. Don't let your fear show. And fly like an eagle, Eddie, fly. 2 As he raced to needless death, the crowd all held its breath And when he took the jump into the sky No longer tied to earthly things this hero soared on shining wings. And the crowd all shouted, "Fly, Eddie, Fly." 3 Well we know he wouldn't win but we really didn't care, He was the man we all wanted to see We watched him leap up high and we wanted him to fly, For we knew, if he could do it, so could we. Eddie |

The chorus goes something like Fly Eddie Fly, Fly Eddie Fly The eagle won't be landing And at least I'll have a try .. and it is Eddie Edwards himself singing the song. |
