Agusta
Agusta was an Italian helicopter manufacturer. It was based in Samarate, Northern Italy. The company was founded by Count Giovanni Agusta in 1923, who flew his first airplane in 1907. The MV Agusta motorcycle manufacturer began as an offshoot of the Agusta aviation company at the end of the Second World War as a means to save the jobs of employees of the Agusta firm.
In July 2000 Agusta merged with Westland Helicopters to form AgustaWestland S.p.A., a multinational helicopter design and manufacturing company, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Finmeccanica.
History
From 1952 the company got involved in helicopter manufacturing, first building Bell helicopters under licence, but later Sikorsky, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas products as well. The company also had ambitions to design and build its own helicopters. The Agusta A.101 and the Agusta A.106 can be considered the best of its earlier attempts. Others included the AB.102, A.103, A.104, and A.115. It also produced a small line of aero engines such as the GA.70 and GA.140.

But if the heavens ever come crashin' down
I will shoulder the way
Yeah...
And you can count on me to help you out when there's too much on your plate
Yeah...
Your crosses are bare
Don't worry, I'll be there
(Yes, I will be there...)
Yeah...

If there's not enough hours in a day, for you
Then I will stop time
And if all your dreams fall to pieces
I'll give you mine
At the drop of a dime
Yeah, you know I'll be there
(Yes, I will be there...)
So I need you to understand...
When push comes to shove
And you're best ain't enough
I'll be there...
I will be there
Oh...
And if it's right or it's die
I'll be right by your side
I'll be there...
I will be there...
Now God forbid
If you somehow lose your way
I'll help you start again...
And if someone breaks your spirit
I will lend you my heart, my friend
Right 'til the very end
Yeah, you know I'll be there
(Yes, I will be there...)
Oh! And God forbid
That the waters get too heavy
I will help you, safe to shore
Baby, with all you've got is givin'
I'll be here to give you more
Just knock on my door
I will be there...
(Yes, I will be there...)
Now all you need to understand (is)...
When push comes to shove
And you're best ain't enough
I'll be there...
I will be there...
Oh...
And if it's right or it's die
I'll be right by your side
I'll be there...
I will be there...
Now when the rain is fallin' in heaven
And the world is ragin' war
See, I've got your back
To always and back
And you're back (??)
Not more than my own
I will be there...
When push comes to shove
And you're best ain't enough
I'll be there...
I will be there
Oh...
And if it's ride or it's die
I'll be right by your side
I'll be there...
I will be there...
(Yes, I will be there...)
You know
You know
You know
I will be there...
I will be there...
And if it's right or it's die
I'll be right by your side
I'll be there...
I will be there...
