Midnight Flyer - Kiki Dee

He’s off he’s gone a-running

'Cause someone’s started something

Nigel poor Nigel

Left quick out the back door

Ten onto one ain’t fair boys

Nigel poor Nigel

Yes it’s Saturday night boys

He don’t want to fight no-one.

Determined is Nigel

To get on and do well

He’ll laugh the longest

Won’t end up with nothing

'Cause surviving is something

He’s learned to do well

Reputation is so strong

He’ll never let you down.

He’s a Midnight Flyer

Straight down the line

He’ll look you in the eye

Anytime

He’s a Midnight Flyer

You all want to be

He’s better than the rest

More than you’ll ever be.

Nigel is running

Somewhere in the city

Always gets attention

What’s up — what’s the problem

Everybody knows him

Nigel he’s the business

Name the place and he’ll come to you

In a race in a class of his own.

He’s a Midnight Flyer

Straight down the line

He’ll look you in the eye

Anytime

He’s the Midnight Flyer

You all want to be

He’s better than the rest

More than you’ll ever be.

One day you see him

Next day you don’t

What a laugh Nigel

Ask him where he’s been to

And he’ll tell you where to go

Tight-lipped that’s Nigel

It’s no-one's place to ask questions

He believes everyone is free.

He’s a Midnight Flyer

Straight down the line

He’ll look you in the eye

Anytime

He’s a Midnight Flyer

You all want to be

He’s better than the rest

More than you’ll ever be.
