UFO가 굴지의 레이블 CHRYSALIS와의 계약이후 발매한 두번째 앨범 [FORCE IT] 재발매반. 깁슨 기타의 명인 마이클 쉥커를 영입하여 발매한 EMI에서의 첫번째 앨범 [PHENOMENON]으로 마이클 쉥커는 전세계 하드록 팬들이 ‘주목해야 할 기타리스트’ 1순위로 점찍으며 이후 화려한 프로 뮤지션의 길을 걷게 된다. 1975년 발매된 본작 [FORCE IT]은 마이클 쉥커의 기량이 극도에 달했음을 느낄 수 있게 해 주는 킬링 트랙 ‘LET IT ROLL’, ‘LOVE LOST LOVE’, ‘SHOOT SHOOT’ 등을 수록하고 있으며 이 넘버들은 이후 UFO의 단골 라이브 레퍼토리가 된다. 보컬리스트 필 모그와 마이클 쉥커 간의 창조적인 파트너쉽은 1970년대 중반 하드록의 발전에 큰 영향을 끼쳤음은 자명한 사실이다. 알빈 리가 이끄는 그룹 TEN YEARS AFTER의 베이스 연주자 리오 라이언스의 프로듀스, 당시로선 파격적이고 논란의 대상이 되었던 아트 디자인 그룹 HIPGNOSIS의 동성애를 묘사한 커버로 유명하며 본작은 훗날 파생된 여러 TOP BAND들과 IRON MAIDEN의 스티브 해리스, MOTLEY CRUE의 니키 식스를 포함한 수많은 뮤지션들의 영감이 된 작품이다. .... ....
* Cold run "Speed Highway" was the place where we'd all go When our nerves were razor sharp, and we'd all let it roll Let it roll Let it roll, let it roll Let it roll
** Our machine's geared up, and we're really layin' it down Layin' it out, let it roll
When these wheels get rollin' Let 'em roll right over you 'Cause I'm well greased down, and I'll always win it through Let it roll, let it roll Let it roll ** Repeat * Repeat ** Repeat
Was a fast tough woman loved to play the clown You won't do nothin' about it Break a good boy's resistance down Know she's got a pistol Laid it down on me She said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy You gotta shoot it for me Convinced me that she was worth it Never knew I was her kill And two 45's would do the trick and pay the bills
*Know she's got a pistol Laid it down on me And she said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy You gotta shoot it for me
** I've really got to get a fast ride out of here Gotta get a fast ride out of here Gotta get a fast ride out of here Gotta get a fast ride out of here now
solo
Holding out in my hotel room police they finally come Had her as the prosecution, and my prints upon the gun
High flyers, wailing birds I'm so far out to sea Ships are passing every night Oh, all my boyish dreams And your every melody With the sea tides tossin' free Never, never holdin' back Rock and rollers drift by (instrumental) Turn to summer, goes so fast Seems I'll never see you One weekend and a photograph Oh, all my boyish dreams
Saturday night, we're all on the lookout for some thrills Try to catch the band's last song Backstage pass really showin' out Feel that's where I belong
Sittin' down with all the big stars at the bar I really have a rock vocation From monopedemania to schizophrenia Rise to any situation
* of old lost love, where will you go When the show is over Nobody wants to know
** We need to feel Something that's real 'cause you're losin' from the start So be careful with your heart
** Repeat
Partners in the next bed and they're dancing cheek to cheek Can't understand their highbrow conversation Yes, you're pretty, who needs a pretty face With a hot lips reputation
* Lady love to hang on Played it like a real intellectual Sweet sister your still shaking And your tragedy is never ending Silver shoes you're wearing Every window there you've ever stared in Over my head, over my head
Sidewalks of the city Every theater there you've ever played Your comic book impersonations Louise Fazenda and Buster Keaton [+++] Over my head, so it's all
** Out in the street for just one more matinee Yes, your vaudeville carries on So put a smile in front your man can see Yes, your vaudeville carries on

* Try to make some changes really on the line Given your religion, never ever time All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor Don't misunderstand it, baby needs some more
Lovin' up some ransom, weapon and a gun Just your education, hard to understand Will the teenage lesion make a mark on you Make a big tome status, then we run them through
** Mother Mary could you ever really feel the same And would you try to understand a wild colonial boy
I really tried my hardest just to make you understand (what) it feels like to a boy, when he don't feel like a man But you gave me so much money And you would not understand I realize I hurt you, so I stay just as I am
* But the whole world keeps on turnin' Yes, the whole world keeps on turnin' But the whole world keeps on turnin' I just roll along
There's been one too many mornings And one too many years One of life's delinquents Who just can't take the pace
We found out the hard way I hope you understand That my life is just my habit And I had an overdose
* Repeat
I used to try, I used to try Used to cry, oh I used to cry
* In a dance band competition fox-trotting with my girl Dance, dance, dance all night Dance your life away High geared razzle dazzle, recession is the trouble Dance, dance, dance all night Dance your life away
Thirty hours on the floor and twenty partners left Dance, dance, dance all night Dance your life away Feel so tired it must be a week Nearly on my knees Dance, dance, dance all night Dance your life away
** California, you always seem to have the sun But I never really got near to it And you try your hand at anything you know Just to try and earn a dollar
* Try to make some changes really on the line Given your religion, never ever time All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor Don't misunderstand it, baby needs some more
Lovin' up some ransom, weapon and a gun Just your education, hard to understand Will the teenage lesion make a mark on you Make a big tome status, then we run them through

Kids gettin' tired, hangin' around So fuck sure thinkin' aloud Can't get it in, can't get it out Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
Can't stop a train with just a smile Stop me at the start only for a while Hole in my pocket, hole in my arm Al that's left when life's lost its charm
This could be for us just any other day Come on girl, we've really got to get away It's the only chance you'll ever heve to change
Kids gettin' tired, hangin' around So fuck sure thinkin' aloud Can't get it in, can't get it out Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
Can't win or lose when there's little left to choose Now 'til next year it'll always be the same The black back streets and people Who don't kniow your name Go with the wind, it'll only carry us away
