from Oannes *

Tο κλασικό, αντι-εξουσιαστικό anthem των Βρετανών UFO. Πρωτοκυκλοφόρησε στο ομώνυμο άλμπουμ τους του 1977.
Eδώ το ακούμε στην καθοριστική, live βερσιόν, δυο χρόνια αργότερα, από το Strangers In The Night.

A classic, anti-authoritarian anthem by the English band UFO. It was first released on the album by the same name in 1977.
Here is the definitive, live version of the song from Strangers In The Night, two years later.

❝ 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 back streets there’s a rumbling
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 till the end
Better now you know we’ll never
Wait till tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold ’em tight till the end
God knows when I’m coming on my run
Heaven help those who help themselves
That’s the way it goes
The frightening thoughts of what’s been taught
And now it shows
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold ’em tight till the end
Better now you know we’ll never
Wait till tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold ’em tight till the end
God knows when I’m coming on my run
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold ’em tight till the end
Better now you know we’ll never
Wait till tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold ’em tight till the end
God knows when I’m coming on my run
You keep coming, there’s no running
Tried a thousand times
Under your feet grass is growing
Time we said goodbye
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold ’em tight till the end
Better now you know we’ll never
Wait till tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold ’em tight till the end
God knows when I’m coming on my run
Lights out, lights out in London
Lights out, lights out in London ❞
