Telex was an early version of a fax machine with a keyboard like a typewriter, which still in use in the early 80s when this song was originally written.

...Thanks for your suggested correction, Anonymous.<br /><br />I searched the word "gatwick" and learned that it's a major airport in London. <br /><br />However, if Barrington Levy is the singing "the airport I land at, said that was gatwick", is my transcription of the line after it "I reach ah jet star, I’ve a telex " correct? And if so, doesn't I reach a jet star" mean that he's just entering the airplane? If so, he wouldn't be "landing".<br /><br />??Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-30030085762174433042019-06-19T01:35:53.825-04:002019-06-19T01:35:53.825-04:00I think he says "the airport that I land at, ...I think he says "the airport that I land at, said that was gatwick"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-19114056507999223192016-01-02T17:59:35.643-05:002016-01-02T17:59:35.643-05:00Thanks for sharing that correction, Anonymous.
