Fly By Night Lyrics

Cover art for Fly By Night lyrics by Rush

OMG if I hear one more comparison of Rush and Coheed and Cambria I think I may shoot someone! The two bands are nothing alike. Rush=one of the best bands in rock history...while Coheed and Cambria= posers...I mean they have a song called "2113" for gods sake...how originial rolls eyes I can't make fun of people who like Coheed and Cambria b/c we all have out different tastes in music...but to actually go and compare them to Rush...its like saying Pink Floyd sounds like Good Charlotte...or The Beatles compared to 50 Cent

Rush and Coheed Cambria don't deserve to be in the same state at the same time...they are two completely different bands...

I honestly think Rush has one of the greatest lyrics of all time...they are so deep and actually mean something...they are about life, society, literature, movies, and there are a few that cover love...and the instrumentals...Neil Peart is the best drummer ever...I don't see any contenders for Coheed and Cambria

Sorry....I know this is for Fly By Night...but it makes me really mad when people go and compare a classic band to a new band that will probably not make more then 4-5 hit songs...or even 1 or 2 hit albums...

Hey...I may be wrong...Coheed and Cambria could make it really big...and 20 years later people are still talking about how much they rock...but bottom line is they don't sound like Rush...their lyrics cant even compare to Rush....and they will never be Rush...

Anyways...For "Fly By Night" what a great Rush song...its one of my favorites...its about changing your life...starting over...perhaps erasing your past...I like the line "It's time I was king now not just one more pawn" I think we all feel like that...worthless...helpless...useless...like a Pawn...just like the common people or everyone else....everyone dreams to be recognized like a king

its a very catchy song...it always gets stuck in my head

Your Pink Floyd and Beatles comparisons made me laugh out loud, literally. I completely agree that you can't compare Rush with Coheed and Cambria. The only thing I disagree with you on is Neil Pert. I just think he's second best to John Bonham from Led Zeppelin who is severly underrated.

I believe you meant that you're in full agreement with him and that John Bonham is great, but severely overrated.

Coheed is great and so is Rush... Claudio Sanchez' (Coheed's lead singer) voice sounds nothing like Geddy's. Claudio can change his voice to fit any character (Coheed and Cambria's albums have stories to them) and Geddy's voice is completely unique. Claudio is a really good guitar player and Geddy is probably the best "Rock 'n' Roll" bassist to ever live. You go, Gary Lee Weinrib. Rock on, Claudio Sanchez.
