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 wanna 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 wanna 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
