Lights Out Lyrics
Wind blows back to the batons charging
Winds all the way
Right to the butt of my gun
Maybe now your time has come
From the back streets there's a rumblin'
Smell of anarchy
No more nice time, black boy shoe shine
Pie in the sky dreams
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold on tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold on tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run
Heaven helps those who help themselves
That's the way it goes
Frightening thoughts of what's been taught
And now it shows
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold on tight 'til the end
Better now, you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold on tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run
(first lead solo)
Lights out, lights out London
Hold on tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold on 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 on tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold on tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run
Lights out, lights out in London (x3)
The song's about power cuts etc in London in the mid-70s, and the various economic problems and strikes in Britain at the time which were causing such problems. Excellent song, though- The whole band excels!
i always thought it was about the bombing in london during WWII
awsome song but the lyrics are wrong
Wind Blows back and the batons chargin Winds all the way right to the butt of my gun, mabey now your time has come
i love the bass in this song
Great song waaaaaaaaaaay underated band.
Michael Schenkers guitar solo is just so... epic
I saw them in 1982 at the Capitol Center in Maryland. The tiny town of Largo Maryland but it was known as Landover Maryland or DC. UFO sang Lights Out Largo! I suspect they asked the local promoter where they were playing and was told Largo Maryland. My 1st show ever. Gary Moore -> UFO > Ozzy.
UFO or die!!!! Lights out, speakers up, ears bleeding, toosh shaking from side to side, and air guitar off the hook. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
