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
