UFO – On With The Action from the album “No Heavy Petting”
Lyrics:
Something going on at the corner of the block
It’s the kids down there
They were startin’ to rock
Hot black fever runnin every place
When the Greek kid pulled a knife and pushed it in his face
Some girl makes it with a lover in the dark
As the ambulance pulls away, she cries out more
(1) And it’s all night long, all night long
On with the action
Lead the fastest loves alive
On with the action
If you can’t run you can’t survive
On with the action
Mama’s boy and teacher’s pet
On with the action
It’s down our street, is it in yours yet
All the kids stand laughin’
They never had such fun
Then someone cuts a brown man who just can’t run
And the queen that’s been standin’ behind the toilet door
His parents don’t like boyfriends, call him a whore
But the minister’s starin’ with his bible in his hand
Was this Gods children, he didn’t understand
(1) Repeat
(1) Repeat UFO – On With The Action

Great song! Great pictures! Thank you!
0:40 – Gorgeous !!!
Awesome version of one of the GREATEST UFO songs !!
the solo is slow and melodic in this moody tune about a tough neighborhood .then suddenly takes off to a blistering beautiful solo with the intensity and speed only michael schenker can provide. its down our street is it in yours yet awesome lyrice phill moog
@dynaco25 Yes! His solo on I'm a Loser kills me. It's a damn shame all the obstacles he has faced in his personal life. Easily in my top 10 guitarist list.
saw michael the other ight,great show…
this sounds different from my lp …dope
6666
Mine too…what the heck? Where is this from?
@ Colorado 50th , FeverShaking92, On the Rub Since Birth. .. I researched this cuz I love it and it KICKS.. It sounds to be a live version from "The Chrysalis Years" Box Set.
need the fastest legs alive
Why did they do this? They took the edge off the greatest UFO song ever.
One person hit wrong button
It's not a studio version 🙂 What is that? 🙂
Wow! I'm 55,I've heard it thousands of times…this is my favourite song of all time…thanks for posting!…an old Canadian guy.
Lead at it's best
we are far away from that shit of u2
Michael Schenker – Guitar Genius!
Not the version on my album. Where did this come from?
@Mark Riva this is the version on my Japanese remaster
This is the B side of the Doctor Doctor 7" from Strangers in the Night. I've loved this version since it came out in 79.
Amazing… Ahead of his time with the lyrics – addressing homosexuality in heavy rock in the mid seventies. Right on, Phil. I'm a fifty year old American man from/living here in Seattle (heterosexual). But I think it's cool for people to be allowed to be whom they want to be.
yeah ufo metals secret
My Favorite Band, see them every tour since I'm here.
That lead solo tho……
Brilliant, so good that Kirk Hamett stole a good bit of it for 'Fade to Black'
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present you Mr. Phillip John Mogg, the Poet!

it's killing me is it killing you too ♫ computer is dump… does not know if a can of tuna weighs the same as a banana…..ha ha
I remember getting wasted and jamming the hell out of this song man we had fun back in the day 😎
Santana is way over-rated compared to this guy. Santana does junk licks compared to the precision of Michael Schenker.
this is not the same version as on the original recording.
Amazing Michael 👍
