Album Info:
(DSC09812) Q: What does 'on a wing and a prayer' mean? A: It means that you’re in a desperate situation and you’re relying on hope to see you through. “On a wing and a prayer” is a verbal expression that comes from a famous American World War Two patriotic song, with words by Harold Adamson and music by Jimmy McHugh. It tells the tale of a plane struggling home after a bombing raid: "Comin’ in on a wing and a prayer / What a show, what a fight / Boys, we really hit our target for tonight / How we sing as we limp through the air / Look below, there’s our field over there / Though there’s one motor gone / We can still carry on / Comin’ in on a wing and a prayer." The song came out at the end of 1942 and instantly became a huge hit on both sides of the Atlantic, so much so that the phrase almost immediately entered the language.
