Verse set to music for high fliers? (8)
I believe the answer is:
airlines
'high fliers?' is the definition.
'airlines' can be an answer for 'fliers?' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'high' bit.
'verse set to music' is the wordplay.
'verse set' becomes 'lines' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'music' becomes 'air' (air is a kind of music).
'lines' after 'air' is 'AIRLINES'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for airlines that I've seen before include "Aer Lingus, Ryanair etc." , "Pressurised tubes" , "Rain isle (anag.)" , "They transport people around the world" , "Companies providing regular plane travel" .)
