Blue Oyster Cult - See You In Black Lyrics






I'd like to see you in black
It'd make me feel like your husband's dead
I'd like to see you in black
We could make him suffer instead

I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black

You can't lie to me Ann
You can't pretend he isn't beating you up
I saw the marks on your hands
I saw the blood on your coffee cup

I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black

The wind plucks your black lace gown
You're standin' proudly beside his grave
I see you wearing black
Gently smiling and oh so brave

We'll run away to Greece
We'll walk the ruins of the Parthenon
We'll drink ouzo in our tub
Watch the dust billow 'til the night's gone

I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black I'd like to see you in black
I'd love to see you in black I'd love to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black
I'd like to see you in black
In black
In black

  6. D.... S....

    total song about beating up assholes

  7. m.... b....

    Certainly one of their best!

  8. J.... S....

    lyrics by ...me. The lyrics given for this (and the credits, which should be Don Roeser, Eric Bloom and John Shirley) are wrong...great track of course...there is a NEW BLUE OYSTER CULT album coming late this year or early next. I've heard one of the songs from it (my lyrics) and it's great.

    J.... S....

    John Shirley really? New BOC album in the works after all this time?

    J.... S....

    They signed to frontiers and are releasing new music and the two only released in uk releases plus more

  9. p.... l....

    この歌は自分にとって一番闘争心を煽る曲(攻撃的にさせる曲)でもあり、やる気を出させる曲です。ある意味,かっこよくて大好きな歌です!(もしかしたら、洋楽のヘビーメタルロックのなかで1〜2位をあらそうぐらい好きかも!?)

  10. T.... .....

    The ONLY song Blue oyster cult actually plays with aggression.

  11. B.... L....

    This has to be one of the worst comment sections on a song ever

  12. R.... G....

    this song rocks. Between it and DAMAGED!!!o.m.g. SO rocking

  13. K.... M....

    This is the riff from Master of puppets. Nicely done

  14. c.... w....

    Soft white underbelly rules underground metal BOC rules

    c.... w....

    Saw them play as soft white underbelly. They were huge then and wanted to do a smaller gig.
    incredible

  15. C.... S....

    This album and 2001's Curse Of The Hidden Mirror easily stand up to their 70's era and Fire Of Unknown Origin in my opinion.These albums kick ass!

  16. k.... R....

    bobby rondinelli on drums,...............

    k.... R....

    John Micelli is the drummer on See you in Black, BR only plays on one track on the album later on ...

    k.... R....

    @Steven Wilkinson No, it's Chuck Burgi on drums on this one.

  17. D.... S....

    I saw the blood on your coffee cup!

    D.... S....

    It make me feel like your husband was dead

  18. S.... ....

    Absolutely KICK ASS !!!

  19. G.... ....

    Epic masterpiece! A B.O.C. fan from Italy!

    G.... ....

    Chuck Burgi.

  20. r.... s....

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY X

  21. r.... s....

    I am just dying to meet you?

  22. a.... ....

    sounds like a rip off of rainbow's kill the king.

    a.... ....

    BOC and Rainbow were good friends. Toured together many times
    Both great bands...

  23. A.... A....

    That guitar is evil.

  24. M.... m....

    They finally did a full on metal album

  25. S.... D....

    Whoa! Drummer kicks it dead in the Ass!!! \m/

    S.... D....

    Chuck Burgi.

  26. S.... B....

  28. T.... B....

    Heavy metal

  30. e.... m....

    Under rated song by BOC but what else is new.

  31. D.... M....

    Absolutely hard rock

  32. B.... ....

    Ou la branlette a vie au choix !

  33. r.... J....

    Buck is absolutely scorching on this album

    r.... J....

    Buck is a rock god

  34. D.... H....

    To my Son in law for hurting my baby I will find you ,Jesus may forgive but a Daddy don't forget

    D.... H....

    D.... H....

    I don't have a feminine side, but I do have in inner momma bear.

  35. B.... ....

    Le pauvre il va mourir les c...... plaines !

  36. J.... S....

    Delícia de música

  37. M.... ....

    Possibly the heaviest song BOC ever made.

    M.... ....

    This is borderline Thrash Metal to my ears ... & guess what BOC can pull it off sublimely ....

    M.... ....

    oh it definitely is that.

    M.... ....

    lips in the hills, oh yeah!

    M.... ....

  38. S.... P....

    OMG!!! What a track!! This music really kicks ass!! THANKS for posting

  39. A.... M....

    tremendo guiño a metalica

  40. D.... S....

    No came out ywenty years before it! 

    D.... S....

    Im confused? Curse of the hidden mirror was out 20 yrs before this album?? Do you mean the Mirrors album?

    D.... S....

    @MAGNUM II you know i did man

    D.... S....

    @MAGNUM II Mirrors album!

  41. J.... ....

    sounds like late '90s Metallica, but a lot heavier and ballsier

    J.... ....

    +JoeTyler85 This is what late 90s metallica should have been like.

    J.... ....

    My wife thought it WAS METALLICA for about 3 years!! I introduce this to all my friends since it came out.should have been at least 5 minutes long!!

  42. D.... G....

    I'd Like To " SEE YOU IN BLACK"

  43. A.... P....

    Possibly as GREAT as ANY BOC album....
    Best album of the late 90's by ANY group....

    A.... P....

    This is a great cd

    A.... P....

    @GTAfan421
     I totally agree !!

    A.... P....

    @elf man
     Absolutely...I enjoyed BOC on stage here in Copenhagen a few months ago!!

    A.... P....

    A storming return Adam ... Eric says he was proud of this record (in Popoff's BOC book) ...... he has every right to be .. a better album all round than Revolution By Night & Club Ninja for starters imo.

    A.... P....

    Awesome track! Best modern since 1985 BOC track in my humble opinion! Love it!

  44. R.... D....

    Magnum II, check out Curse of the Hidden Mirror, it came out a few years after this.

    R.... D....

    Yeah got it rob. I have everything they have ever done. Fave band ever. I have the hidden mirror cd autographed by some of the band too, great album it really is. Just wish they'd bang out some newer stuff....

  45. s.... ....

    BOC are sublime

  46. M.... ....

    Marvellous underated album. Shows boc still had it back then. Would love to hear some new stuff....

    M.... ....

    +Pat Gawne It was better back then..haha

    M.... ....

    yeah. this was their first album after like 10 years out of the studio. if you count Imaginos. i didn't think is was as good as this one i'll have to stick it in and re evaluate. i doubt they make anymore tho.

    M.... ....

    @Samuel Bull
    They're making one last studio album, scheduled for 2020. Also, this was technically after a 4 year hiatus.

    M.... ....

    @ZXKW oh yeah? f ing GREAT! Looking forward to that coming out, just wondering how to make my first download purchase....

  47. P.... M....

    I'd like to see in black as in id like to kill your abusive husband and see you wearing black clothes to his funeral

    P.... M....

    Hey pink thanks for explaining the lyrics for us

  48. K.... ....

    I think he's asking where the name came from

  49. N.... P....

    When I first heard this track I was going, "They picked up a trick from Metallica."

    N.... P....

    Other way round bonehead......Metallica openly admit to being influenced by BoC, and proved it by doing a great cover of their "Astronomy"

    N.... P....

    52kevoc I think they influenced each other.
    Because this song came out arount the reload era and sounds alot like 90s Metallica.

    Boc never sounded like this in they're earlier records.

  50. N.... P....

    This is their entry into thrash metal.

    N.... P....

    Flotsam !

  51. L.... C....

    Their heaviest material...heaven forbidd

  52. J.... S....

    Uma das minhas preferidas de B.Ö.C. Amo essa música!

  53. A.... ....

    For that important and eager try to pass the survivelkit in form of Straight KICKASS music - Not to mix up with sadness of Metallica, black, church, speed .. Metal? Dont ride on that name, give it back you silly growlers.

    So fatgreen, We send you a "After Kicked"- pillow so you can sit proper. ;)

  54. C.... L....

    Good seen from the movie (The Roadie)!

  55. f.... ....

    at least something came out of the movie 'Roadie'

  56. c.... ....

    alrighty then

  57. R.... R....

    Actually it is on ITunes now. Just bought it yesterday! Listened to it three times alaready.

  58. i.... ....

    Ugh I know right!? Have you found it anywhere since you've posted this comment?

  59. X.... ....

    Check out my comment I made 4 comments ago. And leave me alone.

  60. C.... W....

    guess what i'm an athiest does that piss u. off. hell its a lot better being part of some damn sensless organization honoring something that doesn't even serve an important purpose

  61. b.... ....

    This song and Eye Of The Hurricane are my two favorites from the newer BOC.Love it that they showed their heavy side!

  62. a.... ....

    Being a traditional Catholic, yes swearing is a sin. But the music rocks! :)

  63. D.... M....

    Metaladick ruined this song.

  64. X.... ....

    Another one of you idiots fuck with me every year. Look at the original comment, look at the comment you just replied to. Now think HOW MUCH someone can change in 2-3 years. And who said swearing was a sin kid? I'm thinking of deleting my original comment made when I was fucking 13 but I vote of keeping because I never seen one of my comments this old. XD my grammar sucked ass.

  65. S.... S....

    Being Catholic, I wouldn't say swearing that much is very Christian of you.

  66. N.... ....

    Roadie also brought me here....

  67. R.... R....

    P.S. Also heard it for the first time in the movie Roadie.

  68. R.... R....

    I wish I could buy this song. It is not on ITunes.

  69. M.... ....

    stunning song from underated LP...

  70. h.... ....

    This song was featured in the movie ROADIE. Best scene in the movie....

  71. m.... ....

    Buck = Most Underated Guitar God of All time!

  72. S.... W....

    Fuckin Awesome modern BOC track! One of their heaviest ever!

  73. d.... S....

    @jdubcbr600 I know man, just saw the movie "Roadie" today and it had this song in it. I was like wth? this is BOC?

  74. J.... ....

    I never knew the Cult even made music like this until today, this song fuk'n rocks!

  75. B.... ....

    Light Up!

  76. M.... ....

    @Thepinkfloydmaster Yes it is mate, really underated...

  77. C.... W....

    this album is so underunderated

  78. j.... c....

    B.O.C. Rocks!! This is a great album!!!

  79. D.... ....

    This song and album focuses on vengeance and elements of violence way more than any of their other albums. I think this is partly due to the fact John Shirley was writing most of the lyrics on it. This is a heavy album and it is still rockin and amazingly done.

  80. M.... K....

    This is the first time I've ever heard this song and I've been a big BOC fan for 35 years. It is NOT in the normal motif of BOC songs. This is about the only song they've ever done that has the chugga-chugga-chugga rhythm that other lesser heavy metal bands are known for. That said, this is a great song that is as sinister and evil as any they've ever written.

  81. T.... ....

    This album is incredible. To me it's their 4th best album -- right behind the first 3.

  82. n.... ....

    @narutospearman I'm not a satanist at all. Long story short, you're an idiot.

  83. X.... ....

    @midnightmare16 I shall rip your guts out of your impalled body with my penis. come to chicago 28051 south king dr. my adress and i shall show you how i can use a wooden chair. or if you fancy a iron chair i shall utilize that as well. Hollest thou mortem!

  84. J.... D....

    People think this band was satanic??!?!?
    Dumbasses!!! this band was either political or party oriented...

  85. m.... ....

    Love the song. Love the album cover. Love the lyrics, we'll drink ouzo in our cup! Love how these guys somehow got heavier in their advancing age.

  86. n.... ....

    @narutospearman People like you are why christianity sucks. Who wants to be apart of a brainless organization serving an impotent god ?

  87. T.... ....

    @ drizzlerman: what a fucking brilliant description!

  88. c.... ....

    Thanks for the postings Wizard. "Heaven Forbid" was worth the wait when it was released.

  89. t.... ....

    GREAT band ! Love to find these vids here ;-) Many thanks !!!

  90. M.... S....

    Great Band !!

  91. A.... ....

    There's a digital bootleg of a 1994 show out there called "The Symbol Remains," which has an uber-early live version of "See You In Black." They also played it at the 1998 Sweden Rock Festival, and there's a bootleg of that.

  92. M.... ....

    How bout a live version of this??? Saw this album tour and this was the opener.....Bobby Rondelli was killer!!!!

  93. b.... ....

    "i spoke the word of god. DIE DIE DIE "

  94. X.... ....

    no comment, what ever i'll say would be flaged down because i'm a christian. go to hell, wait you want to go there -.-????!!!!

    werido, all of you, no one even reconizes satanist as a main religion. it's JEWS, CATHOLICS BUDDIST, SHINTOIST CONFUCIMS, VUDDO AND MUSLIMS the others aren't even RECONIZES YOU. what a shame, all of you. i hope NONE of you guys have children,proboly burn babies. idc if you flag it down give me a thumbs down, I WANT YOU TO it meens i spoke the word of god. DIE DIE DIE

  95. b.... ....

    Yep. Making way for the antichrist.

  96. X.... ....
