  • We got a 747 coming down in the night
    There's no power, there's no runway lights
    Radio operator try to get a message through
    Tell the flight deck New York has no lights

    There's no power, what do we do
    A 747 coming down in the night
    Try to get a message through
    We were strangers in the night

    Both on separate flights
    Strangers in the night
    Going nowhere
    We were strangers in the night

    Both on separate flights
    Strangers in the night
    Going nowhere
    This is Scandinavian 101

    Flight from Hawaii coming out of the sun
    Kennedy, you should be in sight
    We can't see a thing here in the night
    Navigator says we're on the flight path

    There's no radio, no sign of life
    This is Sandinavian 101
    For Gods sake get the ground lights on
    'Cause we were strangers in the night

    Both on separate flights
    Strangers in the night
    Going nowhere
    We were strangers in the night

    Both on separate flights
    Strangers in the night
    Going nowhere
    There's a 747 goin' into the night

    There's no power they don't know why
    They've no fuel they gotta land soon
    They can't land by the light of the moon
    They're overshooting there's no guiding lights

    Set a course into the night
    Scandanavian 101
    For Gods sake get your ground lights on
    We were strangers in the night

    Lost on separate flights
    Strangers in the night
    Going nowhere
    We were strangers in the night

    Lost on separate flights
    Strangers in the night
    Going nowhere
    Strangers in the night

    We were strangers in the night
    Strangers in the night
    We were strangers in the night
    Strangers in the night

    Both on separate flights
    Strangers in the night
    Going nowhere
    We were strangers in the night

    Flight 101
    Strangers in the night going nowhere Writer/s: GRAHAM OLIVER, PAUL ANTHONY QUINN, PETER FRANCIS MICHAEL GILL, PETER RODNEY BYFORD, STEPHEN DAWSON
