Lyrics

Flash - ah - Saviour of the universe
Flash - ah - He'll save ev'ry one of us
- Seemingly there is no reason for these
- Extraordinary intergalactical upsets
- What's happening Flash ?
- Only Doctor Hans Zarkov formerly at NASA
- Has provided any explanation
Flash - ah - he's a miracle
- This morning's unprecedented solar eclipse
- Is no cause for alarm
Flash - ah - king of the impossible
He's for ev'ry one of us
Stand for ev'ry one of us
He'll save with a mighty hand
Ev'ry man ev'ry woman ev'ry child
With a mighty flash
- General Kala, Flash Gordon approaching
- What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching?
- Open fire - all weapons
- Despatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body

Flash - ah
- Gordon's alive!
Flash - ah - he'll save ev'ry one of us
Just a man with a man's courage
He knows nothing but a man
But he can never fail
No one but the pure in heart
May find the golden grail
Oh oh - oh oh
- Flash Flash I love you
- but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth

"When I look back on all that black nail varnish and stuff, I think 'God, what did I do?' I used to feel a need for all that on stage. It made me feel more secure. But now I don't... I've grown up a bit."
