Saxon - 747 (Strangers In The Night) Lyrics






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 Scandanavian 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 Sandanavian 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

  6. S.... W....

    Sazón fue influencia musical de pappo ,para la comoposicion en los temas de riff

  7. d.... ....

    does anyone know if there is any sort of backstory to this song or what this is about?
    was there an incident like this in real life or does it symbolize something else?

  8. j.... p....

    Continua foda.

  9. L.... C....

    FUCK YES// MUCH RESPECT TO ONE OF THE GREAT ( N.W.O.B.H.M) BANDS ( THE MIGHTY SAXON)**

  10. s.... ....

    Saxon, doesn't get any more British than that. Wheels of steel and 747 all belong hidden
    within the confines of these simplistic chords. The creators of so much are the Brits.

  11. K.... W....

    Still sound great in 2019

    K.... W....

    I am 54 and still rockin to the good times

  12. W.... T....

    Não tem o que comentar É so curti

  13. L.... C....

    DALLAS 1PM ALSO A HEAVYMETAL HISTORY LESSON*

  14. T.... J....

    Absolute class. As usual the UK rules!

  15. k.... r....

    When great band sings about the greatest aircraft of aviation history!

  16. d.... ....

    I loved Saxon in my youth ....leather and steerk

  17. R.... B....

    Saxon ist immer noch hörenswert! Auch nach 3 Dekaden! Metal for ever!

  18. �.... �....

    How I freakin' love this juicy and saturated sound, when you can actually hear guitars, not some desert-dry nonsense with a feeling of an eight-bit soundtrack that most of the people prefer and do nowadays. And it's not even about technology, it's about approach. I wasn't even born that times, but sometimes I wish I did. You can feel that solid vibe.

    �.... �....

    totally, people seem to be gradually waking up to it though, which is good

  19. G.... L....

    This is MAGA country music

  20. L.... C....

    SAXON ARE PART OF THE ROYAL METAL FAMILY*

  21. L.... C....

    SAXON RULE\,,,/

  22. G.... S....

    Metal and rock music really touches themes that other genres don't and this truly makes me happy. Seriously, not every bloody song has to be about "love" relationships or break ups. Like 80% of all songs cover those themes, it's so repetitive and annoying.

  23. T.... V....

    A bit inappropriate for inflight entertainment, especially on a 747.

  24. D.... N....

    some many years ago, I was browsing my local music store and found a heavy metal mixtape... a literal tape... cassette. This song was on side B of the second cassette. I was not liking heavy metal much till I reached this song. When I reached this song and heard it, metal got me hooked. I listened to the whole tape again as a new person and understood what was going on. What metal meant and how metal rejuvenates every molecule in the body. I got Saxon's "Denim and Leather" from my music store the next week. This happened some 15 years ago and I'm a proud metal fan because of them.
    I miss listening to the analog and blurry cassettes. My old walkman and that shitty excuse for an earphone were something of a luxury then. I still have all my old tapes and albums from almost 20 years past. But nothing to listen to them with.

  25. J.... M....

    Put Saxon in the history book's of united kingdom ....

  26. A.... ....

    Jet engine sounds too LOL

  27. J.... L....

    Tremendo este tema !!!

    On the main riff I can sing : LAAYYYYYLAAAAAA !!! Got me on my knees ! (Derek and the Dominos). Someone could produce a mushup ? :D

  94. A.... 2....

    I remember this period with deep gratification. Within the period of one year - 1980 we had a British invasion of heavy metal classics hit the stands - Judas Priest - British Steel, Iron Maiden's - Debut album, Saxon - Wheels of Steel, Motorhead - Ace of Spades, Def Leppard - On Through The Night, Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell. Great time for real metal.

    A.... 2....

    Though they're Germans, don't forget this, "Animal Magnetism" by Scorpions.
