Canciones para una vida - UFO - Lights Out

 

LIGHTS  OUT

Vistazo de nuevo a uno de los pioneros, la banda británica UFO que siempre se mantuvo en esa delgada línea que separa el hard rock del heavy metal y que comenzó su carrera en 1969 resultando una clara influencia para muchas bandas posteriores muchas de ellas de la NWOBHM. De sus muchas obras de estudio, (22 LP's) hoy quiero recuperar el sexto de ellos, "Lights Out", de 1977, en plena época de Michael Schenker, una obra para la que reclutan como productor a Ron Nevison, acostumbrado a trabajar con Led Zeppelin o Thin Lizzy entre otros. De dicha obra quiero dejar en el blog la canción que da nombre al disco de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Wind blows back and the batons charging
It winds all the way
Right to the butt of my gun
Maybe now your time has come

From the backstreets there's a rumblin'
Smell of anarchy
No more nice time, bright boy shoe shines
Pie in the sky dreams

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait until tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run

Heaven help those who help themselves
That's the way it goes
Frightening thoughts, what's been taught
And now it shows

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now, you know we'll never
Wait until tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait until tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run

You keep comin', there's no runnin'
I tried a thousand times
Under your feet, the grass is growin'
Time we said, goodbye

Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run

Lights out, lights out in London

Lights out, lights out in London
