Not UFO but damn good, nonetheless. Other than the studio version I couldn't find a live version with great sound.

I thought this song was kind of fitting.

"Lights Out"

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 rumblin'
Smell of anarchy
No more nice time, bright boy shoe shines
Pie in the sky dreams

[Chorus:]
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 help those who help themselves
That's the way it goes
The frightening thoughts of what's been taught
And now it shows

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Lights out, lights out in London
Lights out, lights out in London

At first I thought you mean J. Geils' Lights Out.

Ya...there's a hip hop and a soul version too.

Makes finding the lyrics a bit harder.

I was reintroduced to them by the only friend I made in prison...the biggest black guy in our dorm. He was a shred metal fan. We met while standing in line for packages, stuck up a conversation and found we had music in common. We've been friends for 17 years now.

I was thinking of ELO. Oops, don’t know UFO.

You'd probably be surprised at how many songs by UFO were popular in the day. Who they were by kinda got lost in the mix. They were pretty prolific.

Uriah Heep is another one of those bands. Lotsa stuff on the radio back in the day and years later people saying, "I didn't know that was Uriah Heep".

I like ELO, BTW. Jeff Lynn is a genius.

Uriah Heep I remember. ELO was just a favorite. Some music never gets old. James Taylor comes to mind.
