UFO - Venus Lyrics






Tell me now and I'll understand
Does Venus hold you in the palm of her hand
Has her blackness touched your very heart
She'll smile sweetly as your world falls apart

[1]
And I just can't quit it babe
I just can't stand the pain
And I just can't quit it babe
I keep running back again

Little by little piece by piece
Your defenses have all slipped away
And real beauty's such an elusive thing
Somewhere down the line you'll have to pay

[Repeat (1)]

Oh no, its such a cold, cold feeling
Cuts your body to the bone
Oh no, its a strange, strange feeling
Loves been abandoned and I'm so alone

And everyday I see my flame growing dimmer
I've nothing left but this very life to save
And every night I feel that I'm a winner
She's taking me down to the grave

And everyday I see my flame growing dimmer
I can't seem to chase the ghosts away
And every night I get too high, I'm a winner
I've nothing left but to pray

And every night she makes me feel like a winner
And every night she makes me think I'm a winner

Venus smiles and encircles me
And wraps me in a soft princely gown
Waves of darkness rise like the sea
In her addiction I will drown

    My favourite track off an unbelievably strong album! After hearing this guitar outro for the first time I played it over and over again, cranked up to the point just before my eardrums started to bleed!!! Michael Schenker's playing on this album is truly legendary, and it is one of those times in Rock music history when it all just 'came together' to create something EPIC.

  30. �.... �....

    Просто обалденная вещь!!!!!!

  31. D.... W....

    just can't quit it, Michael, great guitar work here, a pleasure for my ears, awesome licks, catchy riff and the melodies are unbelievable...

  32. R.... W....

    ufo has some of the best riffs in hard rock. so uncommon in the genre

  33. j.... a....

    a kick ass cut~

  34. R.... K....

    One of Schenker's many stunning performances

  35. B.... v....

    Being a fan from day one and from Michael Schenker, this song and album I consider it as Obsession volume 2

  36. S.... ....

    most lead guitarists cant go on and on like Michael Schenker does without repeating something. this end solo is wailing but melodic f-ing incredible

  37. S.... ....

    Schenker is one fire at the end of this song. No one like him just amazing

  38. m.... m....

    Best reunion album of any band!

  39. A.... D....

    I cannot find this on Itunes :(

  40. T.... Y....

    played this tape till the wheels spun off

  41. F.... B....

    Venus impresionante tema

  42. s.... M....

    People can say what they want but Schenker and Mogg made UFO. Their best work comes when these two come together although I thought Chapman gave them a different enjoyable sound, the Schenker days were by far the best. Seen them twice lately and although he is a good player his style does not warm to the UFO sound. Michael plays with so much emotion and heart that you can't teach. He is a Genius !!!!!!!!!!!

    s.... M....

    what do you think of those 2 lame albums that followed?

    s.... M....

    Covenant and Sharks are very good albums also, not great like Lights Out, Force It, No Heavy Petting, Phenomenon, Obsession or Walk On Water , but still very good.

  43. H.... S....

    so damn good ......8 persons have no plan about good music !!!

  44. S.... L....

    This is why rock willl never die.

  45. A.... F....

    ~UFO~ We were able to see this tour when you played at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano . Getting to meet you ALL was great as well after the show .... did seem odd that everyone in the band stayed inside to sign autographs except Michael Schenker who we got to meet at his trailer .
    Long Live Rock and Roll ------------

  46. T.... P....

    PURE CLASS

  47. B.... H....

    the most unheralded album (and one of its very best) in UFO'S catalouge. Why they felt the need to put remakes of doctor-doctor and lights out is beyond me as this is a super strong album with ZERO filler trax and rocks hard from beginning to end. And michael schenker is on frickin' fire, as always byt you can tell he was really into doing this recording and his chops were ready to go. If you dont have WALK ON WATER, buy it now!! You will spin it a half dozen times in a row before you stop playing it.

    B.... H....

    "Why they felt the need to put remakes of doctor-doctor (...) is beyond me (...)". I read an interview on a Brazilian heavy metal magazine in the 90's. They explained that the cover that Iron Maiden (with Blaze Bayley) recorded in '94 was so fresh and heavy that it made them want to re-record it in that fashion. And Iron Maiden's version truly awesome :-)

    B.... H....

    Killer album start to finish

    B.... H....

    2 years before, in 1993, he released the first Thank You album, I just wonder which came first, I guess using the acoustic for chord progressions on that album helped him to comeout with the amazing melodies on this album... 2004 "You Are Here" album is pretty good melodically too, with Vinnie Moore

    B.... H....

    i agree. vinny is very good.

    B.... H....

    WALK ON WATER was way too short IMHO. Never needed the remakes and those solo project tracks.

  48. J.... L....

    rock at its finest!

  49. L.... A....

    simplemente un discazo de estos 5 genios no se puede pedir mas ......

  50. W.... ....

    The best comeback song with that typical UFO feeling - dark, melancholic, a catchy riff and a good potion of melody...Michael plays really on the top, my dear Eddie Van Halen...greetings from Hardrock Holmes

    W.... ....

    wingerrattdokken - damn, love me some ufo but your handle is my top 3!!!!!!!!

  51. M.... M....

    I cant stray away from one description I heard that also is deadly accurate. "Its a masterpiece!"

  52. J.... W....

    Michael Schenker's solos in this song sound very Gilmour-esque...

  53. r.... m....

    I do with my guitar.
    The chorus it's easy.

  54. A.... w....

    Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock is in full force with the album "Spirit On A Mission". There are videos for the songs "Vigilante Man" and "Live & Let Live". Meanwhile. UFO are out with their "A Conspiracy of Stars".

  55. D.... M....

    Have seen them at House of Blues 2 out of last four years. Luv Vinnie Moore but no comparison to the late 70's early eighties Schenker and then way under rated Paul Chapman. No replacing Michael. Ever with anyone!

  56. D.... M....

    Walk on Water 1998. Reunion album as such

  57. m.... r....

    This song was on Covenant album

    m.... r....

    This song is off the 95 release Walk On Water. The first album to feature the "Classic Line-up" of Schenker, Mogg, Way, Raymond and Parker since 1978's Obsession.

  58. S.... ....

    Just great guitars solos and an incredible song. I think one of the best UFO albums.

  59. t.... ....

    Must purchase this album. 

  60. J.... S....

    Phenomenal

  61. H.... ....

    When this album came out in 1993-95 (or there about), it was like they picked-up where "Obsession"  (1978)  left off......This album is great.

    H.... ....

    I know that there's no possible way that you can be saying that all that awesome Paul Chapman music between Obsession and Walk On Water didn't raise the hair on the back of your neck!  And especially the album that came out right before Walk On Water......................."HIGH STAKES AND DANGEROUS MEN!"  I hope your'e lucky enough and smart enough to find it. It's the Crowned Jewel of my UFO collection! It's an absolutely awesome disc with a guitar player by the name of Lawrence Archer! If you listen to this disc, and can actually spit the words out of your mouth that you don't like it, then I just can't bring myself to consider you a TRUE UFO fan!!!! YES!!!! I love schenker and all of the schenker stuff..........But he wasn't the band!!!!! UFO is Phill Mogg's band.......and the musicians that he feels comfortable with...........the musicians that "get off" on playing the music that he set out to play 40+ years ago!!!!!!!  DUHHHH!!!! It's about Phill Mogg's band, and the few musicians that are still with him today......................THE BAND KNOWN AS UFO!!!!!!!!!!!

    H.... ....

    No Mogg no UFO. No Schenker no UFO. No Place to Run and a few others are nice to listen to, but they don't compare with the Schenker stuff. Schenker and Mogg always will be UFO to me.

    H.... ....

    @3to5andglassy Absolutely.

    H.... ....

    +David Lake Laurence played awesome on "Back Door Man", now he plays at X-UFO/House of X

    H.... ....

    Not to deny that the schenker stuff is incredible and iconic because it is but man High Stakes is awesome AF she's the one, dont want to lose you, burnin fire, one of those nights to single out a few tracks and i like aint misbehavin and misdemeanor about as much. I know its crazy to some but those are my 3 favorites and ive heard em all but conspiracy of stars has some of their best songs since then the killing kind is wow.

  62. P.... S....

    There are times during the first two minutes that sound like an imminent breakout..., a taste of things to come, and then....

    Schenker manages to shame an entire generation of shredders in one song.

    P.... S....

    are you kidding me or anyone else.

    P.... S....

    Peter Schopf cant agree more! 🤘

    P.... S....

    Amen bro!

    P.... S....

    There was a period after walk on water during the unforgiven album days when michael was alternate picking like YJM, seriously. Listen to the solos in Unforgiven they're pretty damn awesome. So it's not like he can't classically shred, he just chooses not to . The point here is that when he's with UFO he writes incredibly catchy songs and if the base is good then his solos are just that much better over that base.

  63. A.... G....

    Excelente hard...Linha do Deff Lepard, Thin lizzy, Triunph, entre outros.
    Virtuosismo e criação típica dos anos 70.

  64. J.... B....

    The whole album kills from start to finish.

  65. p.... ....

    love this song thanks for the post

  66. m.... ....

    Here I am listening to this again. Nobody beats Michael.

  67. �.... �....

    PURE PERFECTION!

  68. k.... p....

    Cracking album. Back to riffage

  69. M.... C....

    Fantastic song, great lyrics and the leads are absolutely phenomenal .

  70. H.... ....

    UFO......THE "classic lineup".......Mogg, Way, Schenker, Parker and Raymond.....possibly the greatest rock bad to ever exist.

    H.... ....

    Love it! I agree! Amazing Brits!

    H.... ....

    Michael Schenker is from Germany. Although the band is from Britain.

    H.... ....

    He did live in England quite a lot, since joining UFO.... So, I guess its OK to call him Brit ...

    H.... ....

    Dmitriy Ryabin Schenker is from GERMANY, can you read?

    H.... ....

    but I love Danny Peyronel, too :-)

  71. a.... a....

    Wow , what an incredible song with such an awesome and tightly woven intensity of all these awesome and vocal instruments, by far one of the most brilliant guitar runs ever played and recorded , ... just WoW I hope all the upcoming rockers get a chance to hear and take this band to heart as i was lucky enough to do in my day, Rock on sisters and brothers.....

  72. T.... Y....

    I played that tape till wheels spun off::!

  73. T.... Y....

    Dude,ive been looking for this album for long, a friend of mine made me a tape without the title;I played guitar for years  but this song realy inspired me to get serious at a low point,,, thanks man

  74. m.... ....

    This song leaves me at a loss for words. Nearly perfect

  75. Z.... ....

    This song , if it had gotten any airplay, would've been the best anthem ever. yes and this album is so amazing. When Moog isn't fighting with Schenker magic happens but these two are destined to be at each other's throats and that tension makes for great music. *Sigh*. Schenkers playing is like having a beautiful woman that can go skanky when you need her to be that way and be an angel when you want her that way too. Oh and ofcourse she's unpredicable making you nutz and happy at the same time. At least that's how I feel when I hear him playing.

    Z.... ....

    ...very articulate, and deadly accurate...great post, Z!...

    Z.... ....

    yeah man!

    Z.... ....

    Well said!

  76. f.... w....

    UFO ON !!!!

  77. m.... d....

    Stopped by a bullet is a unbelievable, fucken song. one of the best solos he came up with. Listen closely and youll understand. axeflyer, UFO, MSG 4 EVER. axeflyer MD.

  78. A.... S....

    If you haven't already.. google "Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock" and look into what he does these days. Both tours and albums.. Don't think you'll regret it!

  79. d.... m....

    SAW THIS WHEN THEY CAME BACK---WALK ON WATER----KILLER ALBUM--

  80. E.... ....

    Great Song by a great band.

  81. D.... L....

    One of my all time favs.

  82. t.... b....

    as a maiden fan, I FUCKING LOVE THIS

  83. D.... B....

    Couldn't hold back, thanks for uploading this and any UFO tunes. The vocals and lyrics are are uplifting, then you add Schenker and his flying V licks, then it's oh so close to ecstasy and I not refering to sex, just listening pleasure.

  84. G.... ....

    A brilliant song, the ideal second track on "Side 1".

    I reckon the Venus in the lyric is cocaine rather than a woman.

  85. 3.... ....

    Love Schenker, going to see him again at M15, UFO is playing 2 weeks later, I'm stoked.

  86. d.... m....

    ufo fkn rocks

  87. v.... ....

    Beautifully put....take a bow, Spazzoboxer.

  88. L.... O....

    I love them sens I was a teenage. 40 years a go...oh shit, I am old. Sweden

  89. I.... ....

    I believe this band is every bit as good as Black Sabbath, jUdas Priest or any other 70s metal artist.

  90. F.... ....

    Holy fuck this is good.....

  91. s.... b....

    totally agree buddy fukin awesome

  92. c.... d....

    This whole album was a great surprise. These guys really stepped up to the plate on this one .U.F.O. is never the same without Schenker..

  93. r.... ....

    Actually, it's Amaj, not Am, the first time it's Em-G-D-A (D-A), the 2nd time it's Em-G-D-A (A-G)

  94. r.... ....

    Em - G - D - Am is the basic progression, w/ some embellishment at the end of each rep

  95. t.... ....

    If possible can anyone give me the guitar chords to the riff? I can't make out what they are and I need to learn this amazing piece.

  96. m.... h....

    america radio touched this piece,just to fell to let it go and never to be heard again.what a fing crime...

  97. L.... ....

    increibleeee!

  98. T.... ....

    Love it....

  99. g.... t....

    amazing guitar sound

  100. i.... w....

    this is one of them songs that carry you away ,roll your eyes and feel the brilliance of ufo on and on
