Walker Brothers, The - Shutout Lyrics






Throw off those gimmicks to the boys
Let them send it all up in the air
There is crouching and wailing on stones down here
We must freeze off this atmosphere
Scraping out noise across night wires
Runs - for the distant cities
There is never a lock in the fall down here
As the big full pours away

In the shutout
In the shutout
How will we know the great doll?

Something attacked the earth last night
With a kick that man habit - eye
Cut the sleep tight boys who dreamed and dreamed
Of a city like the sky
There were faces bobbing in the heat
For some rising from her zone
Moving, hitting, holding on
For the promise to carry us home

In the shutout
In the shutout
Never a lock in the fall
In the shutout
In the shutout
How will we know the great doll?

Walker Brothers, The Shutout Comments
  1. b.... ....

    Scott Walker didn't do rock very often, but when he did... man, oh man!

  2. S.... P....

    Bellissima.

  3. S.... L....

    Scott's tracks are so beyond the other guys in the band.

  4. w.... j....

    RIP Scott 💔 Outstanding creator of sound ❤️ If only they knew then what we know now😢👏

  5. M.... ....

    I'd be surprised if Scott's songs on Nite Flights didn't influence Bowie's Lodger album. I'd also be surprised if Walker wasn't influenced in some way at least by Bowie's Low and Heroes.

  6. A.... B....

    sub me 12

  7. A.... A....

    So there is no confusion :-

    No puedo creer que se haya ido....

  9. M.... M....

    A very good musician

  10. M.... M....

    I can see influence

    M.... M....

  11. W.... J....

    RIP Scott!

  12. T.... ....

    What a rocker. RIP genius. The sun ain't gonna shine anymore.

  13. A.... L....

    That solo comes out of nowhere kicking serious ass

  14. g.... c....

    El papa de bowie

    g.... c....

    Bowie admiraba un montón a Scott.
    Larga vida al duque blanco.

    g.... c....

    Peter Hammill y Scott Walker lo fueron, pero más Peter por su estilo de canto y composición.

  15. b.... ....

    Intense! Anyone know what perfectly out of tune sounding chord that rhythm guitar is playing?

    b.... ....

    It's just B-flat minor.

  16. A.... d....

    1:04😵🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

  17. C.... F....

    One of my favorite songs of all time. Gonna attempt to cover it next Friday night at Basic Flowers in downtown Los Angeles. Get down.

  18. r.... ....

    This was 1977 and it still sounds like the future. And that's not taking the guitar solo into account.

    r.... ....

    Anything Walker touches sounds ageless. When I first listened to "Scott 3" I was amazed to learn that it was released in 1969. Nothing he does ever sounds old or dated.

    r.... ....

    Exactly, I've yet to hear anything he's done that does'nt sounds like tomorrow.

    r.... ....

    I was just thinking about how that solo seems to anticipate the EVH cameo on "Beat It"....

    r.... ....

    it's like future-goth disco. the harmonies are absolutely bizarre in a spellbinding way

  19. P.... H....

    Les Davidson plays the solo. Not Big JIm. I doubt that it was beyond bif Jims abilities. He was a master !

  20. T.... N....

    Who is playing the GUITAR?

  21. N.... M....

    Scott's four songs on Nite Flights rank as some of the best music i've ever heard.And to be fair,even though they are not in the same class,think the Gary Leeds songs have some merit.The other Walker Brother's songs on it(John Maus) get a bit campy though.Oh the lead guitar on this is wild!!!

  22. A.... D....

    According to the liner notes, the soloist is Les Davidson. The solo is often erroneously credited to Jim Sullivan, who played rhythm guitar on the track.

  23. j.... ....

    hasn't aged one single iota. The disco king. And pals. Mr love. Mr loneliness.

  24. E.... ....

    You're not wrong, the first four tracks of the album are written by Scott Walker alone, without the other "brothers"

  25. N.... ....

    "The guitar solo on this is nuts, who's playing here?"
    The super talented Big Jim Sullivan, who played rhythm guitar on the original James Bond theme, and lead guitar on Itchycoo Park, Je t'aime..moi non plus, Catch the wind, Gilbert O'Sullivan's Alone Again (Naturally) and Claire, Puppet on a string, Something in the air, The sun ain't gonna shine anymore and other Walker Brothers recordings plus hundreds of other songs and albums. Look for him on wikipedia and you'll see :)

    N.... ....

    Interesting. So Sullivan is to Scott Walker what Ronson+Fripp were to David Bowie, more or less?

    N.... ....

    @Renegade Soundsurfer No, he only played a written partiture on these tracks.
    Walker didn't need a Mick Ronson to organize his music :)

  26. P.... N....

    actually that's pretty darn good....

  27. J.... ....

    Big Jim Sullivan. A session guitarist who was quite prolific during the 70's.

  28. M.... B....

    The guitar solo on this is nuts, who's playing here?

    M.... B....

    Big Jim Sullivan, who played rhythm guitar on the original James Bond theme,
    and lead guitar on Itchycoo Park, Je t'aime..moi non plus, Catch the wind,
    Gilbert O'Sullivan's Alone Again (Naturally) and Clair, Puppet on a string, Something in the air,
    The sun ain't gonna shine anymore and other Walker Brothers recordings plus hundreds of other songs and
    albums. Look for him on wikipedia and you'll see :)

    Looking at the liner notes I found he's playing rhythm here too, while the soloist is Les Davidson

    M.... B....

    @Neurodisco77 - You keep saying this and it's wrong. Big Jim Sullivan didn't play the lead guitar break on this song, Les Davidson did. It says so on the album liner notes and on the Wikipedia page for this specific song. And just for the record, there is no lead guitar on Itchycoo Park, just Steve Marriott strumming an acoustic.

  29. a.... b....

    with a kick back man hammered eye

  30. b.... ....

    Insane , how have I lived 41 years , heard everyone come and go that was influenced by this man and still never come across this guys music. Walker brothers or not, this is Scott'sinfluence from what I can tell. Please help me out if I'm wrong.

  31. M.... W....

    This is a barely known Walker Brothers album but I love it (especially the Scott 1/2)

  32. T.... ....

    "there is
    crouching and wailing
    on stones
    down here
    we must freeze off
    this ratmosphere"
    what else can I say...

  33. R.... ....

    Unparalleled
