Iron Savior - This Flight Tonight Lyrics






Look out the left, the captain said
The lights down there
That's where you'll land
Saw a falling star burnin'
High above the
Las Vegas sand

It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailer
Not the early one
That you wish upon
Not the northern one
That guides in the sailors

You've got that touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Can't talk to you babe
You know I get so weak
Sometimes I think that
Love is just mythical

Up there's a heaven - down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and
Little lights shine
Blackness, blackness dragging me down
Come on light a candle
In this heart of mine

Starbright, starbright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on
This flight tonight

I'm drinking sweet champange
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you - can't drum you
Out of my mind

They're singing
"Goodbye baby, baby bye bye
Uh, love is blind!"

Up go the flaps - down go the wheels
Hope you got your heat turned on baby
Hope they finally fixed your automobile
Hope it's better
When we meet again babe

Starbright, starbright...

  1. K.... F....

    A RAW rendition of a classic. Not bad. Not bad.
    Needs a bit more power IMO and then its' a winner.

  2. V.... C....

    A masterpiece! Great song!

  3. r.... ....

    Here for Kai Hansen!!!

  4. L.... W....

    Actually, the original is from Joni Mitchell. Nazareth's version is another cover

  5. S.... ....

    In order of best to least; Diamond Head, Iron Savior. The rest don't make the cut.

  6. K.... ....

    Actually is Joni Mitchell's song!!!
    Cool cover afterall

  7. J.... M....

    tremenda version..!!

  8. M.... H....

    Zimmers Hole do the best version of this song...

  9. L.... N....

    being a Dunfermline boy I have to say that the version by the mighty Nazareth is the best ;-)

    L.... N....

    Nothing comes close to the Original Neil.. Dan was the King .

    L.... N....

    @peter wildey But that wasn't the original.

  10. D.... X....

    Cool cover, but at 240p.....harsh!

  11. B.... D....

    to my Beloved Elmo. r.i.p. Love

  12. K.... W....

    Love this version, Doogie Whites, Nazareth in that order, just love this song

  13. J.... T....

    I love this song, it makes me remember a lot of special moments

  14. D.... ....

    Nope...the swarm of mosquitoes guitar tone just doesn't cut it for the chunk-chunka-chunk rhythm part.

    D.... ....

    Do whut now?

  15. T.... ....

    this is really really good!!
    beautiful sound of that snare!!

  16. d.... ....

    Man! This was the song that got me hooked on Iron Savior; now they are in my top-five bands of all-time!

    d.... ....

    Iron Savior hooked me with heavy metal! Mostly Power Metal.

  17. L.... D....

    IMHO even better than the original!

    L.... D....

    Nazareth improved this flight tonight, Joni Mitchels song.. she did them a great tribute but I like Iron Saviour cover more than Nazareth's or the cover by Heaven's Gate

    L.... D....

    His voice sucks big time!

  18. P.... R....

    How can anyone thumbs down this?? Your fucked lol

  19. D.... ....

    Funny, this was originally written by Joni Mitchell. Nazareth totally revamped it and made a great rock song of it. Heaven's Gate made the best hard rock version IMO but this one is different and great too. Enjoy the music, opinions are just that!

    D.... ....

    DeeJayMoondog I heard this first and was very surprised to hear it was originally a Joni Mitchell song.

  20. T.... G....

    I like the melody of Iron Savior, although they're all awesome!

  21. B.... S....

    This is good but I prefer Nazareth's version. This is very true to Nazareth's version tho.

  22. D.... S....

    Heaven's Gate cover is the best IMO

    D.... S....

    Meh, that version doesn't even rate.

  23. m.... ....

    heavy cover!

  24. C.... D....

    @pdva04 Nazareth version is great too but much better? Come on now.

  25. C.... D....

    Who cares how heavy it is or how fast. It's a killer song. The Nazareth one is killer as well. \m/

  26. p.... ....

    Excuse me ... Nazareh version is much better!!!... in my opinion of course...

  27. T.... ....

    Only 1 thing to say YNNNF facking awesome :)

  28. T.... ....

    @Primebot101
    Even though this is a cover of Nazareth, which is in itself a cover of a song by Joni Mitchell? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the power metal, but it's a cover. You wanna really get confused/disappointed/whatever, listen to Iron Savior's cover of Crazy, by Seal. Priceless.

  29. R.... K....

    really powerfull rif in this song

  30. A.... L....

    Love the cover... he's got a great voice.

    A.... L....

    Astral Landlord Piet Sielck is easily in my top 3 metal singers.
