Blue Oyster Cult - Morning Final Lyrics

One of the best songs I’ve ever heard

There will be a new Blue Oyster Cult studio album from Frontier Records in early 2020. For details go to BOC official website and scroll down for the press release.

That Guitar at 1:55 is amazing

What's my drug of choice? The answer is- what have you got?

Albert Bouchard is the man.

Yes ... but this one is Joe's baby ...

@Steven Wilkinson The Bouchard Bros are the men!

God is it Friday yet? I feel like a parent schooling children can I go Play? 🏺🔥⚱️💋

Just heard the very tail end over earphones for the first time ever. Wow.

This song is foooking awesome. Lol.

I came in my rugby shorts.

At the very end: I think that's that Eric Bloom guy right? "...Papa, Papa, Blah-blah-blah..."

its... paper, paper.. read all about it.. not papa

@24/7 Live AZ Skies No, no, no...I was mocking his PRONOUNCIATION: "papa, papa,..."as in Newspaper...get your newspaper..."

I do think it is Eric. When I saw them do this live in 2016, Eric did this part.

I think Buck Dharma is a better guitar player than Jeff Beck seems more versatile can play more varieties of music.

FINALLY I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR SO LONG.

This was dark music. At the tender young age, I appreciated this. I was primed for this. Later came hardcore and the ultimate n extreme, black metal.

the 80's brought so many amazing artists and I wasnt even alive back then yet ... I feel so unhappy

BOC were in their (untouchable) pomp from 1972-81) ...

Thats the really Sound mtf

Goddamn I love that guitar tone, the perfect amount of reverb on those soulful solos!

Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!

This is one of my fave songs on Agents. Just love that signature BÖC sound. It's a real shame though the Sabbath and Cult Black and Blue tour never turned out properly. They're both my favourite bands, I wish they could have been nice to each other.

One of the all-time greats! Takes me back to a simpler time...

Death, The queen, the king, the sun... only an aficionado of AoF knows what I'm talking about. If you do, like.

The tarot cards held on the cover that match to songs on the album ofc ....(Reaper, ETI & ?) ....

What a song! What an album!

Agents of fortune one of the best albums ever, have had the vinyl, 4 cassettes and 2 cds worn-out all of them!

He cast a grim shadow
Through the busy street
Said he was a junkie
And he punctuated his walk with a gun

Motiveless murder
The papers scream
The cops all said
The crowd was iced by the sight

Oh baby don't it make you feel so bad
Dark clouds are over the street
After what I read, I can hardly feel my heart...
My heart beat

Down the subway stairs
After him they leapt
An echo snap and scream of fire
The hot pursuit was done

For the last time he felt the light
And gave up his last fight

Oh baby don't it make you feel so bad
Dark clouds are over the street
After what I read, I can hardly feel my heart...
My heart beat

THANK YOU For these Lyrics! Finally...I can follow the narrative ...Whew!!

the Bouchard bros great players

Still listening on the first day of summer 2018. 42 years after this song came out. How does that make me feel? Frigging EXCELLENT !

lmao listening to this on the first day of summer in 2019

Insert the 8 Track....In my Craig Power Play... In my 69 'camaro ...With Jeannie By My Side ...Grabbin' Gears ... And Jammin To B.O. C..........Great Album....What a Youth We Had ... Listenin To These Cats!!!!!!

Morning Final! Sounds so extreme! Oh wait? Grin1

Sad, no comments for over a year? Sure, not their best song, but grows on you!

Arguing over the best BOC song?
right...you've have 114 kids from 77 genetically perfect supermodels...
who's your favorite kid?

The one that makes the most money ?? .... (good analogy ... BOC must have almost 114 good/great songs ..)

Such a great album & the art really captures the mood.

This is a good song for when you're walking through a rainy city at night.

This is the theme song for the best Bond film that was never made.

this band is just full of songs that make you go like: "Holy shit, i wish i had known this sooner!"

my pants are underrated. Stop wearing out the word associated with great band!

One of my favorite songs from this record. Also included Tattoo Vampire, E.T.I and Don't Fear The Reaper.

Boc forever misunderstood underrated and for whatever reason not in the RR Hof? Upside down with a cross. I guess record sales didn't count back then! But they sure do nowadays.?!

Great great song if you lived NY back in 70s you get it my favorite band and not just NYC kiss ain't a pimple on BOCs ass and there in the RARHOF what a fucking joke kiss is a two bit no talent hack of a band no talent just makeup songs no depth of feeling lyrics sucked and they were not very good musicians BUT their in the rockN roll hall of shame and look how long it took yes and the moody blues to get there these bands have been around since the fucking mid 60s

Awesome .

NYC AND HUDSON VALLEY VENUES

Going 2 c them 4 the 51ST time in June on the ISLAND

What you talkin bout willy's?

Throw a bunnch of glitter on my astranoids and see if I care*

COW BELLS DON"T HELP ME WORTH A FUCKING SHIT*

The entire Agents of Fortune album just rocks!

Emerson EMGEM , yeah its one of the greatest rock albums ever..

Yeah but I kinda resent the slow tracks and the bonus tracks suck.

You know, I've always liked this song as part of listening to Agents of Fortune, but this track really stands out on its own merit. Really under-rated indeed. The BÖC were firing on all 7-screaming cylinders on Secret Treaties, AoF, Spectres, Mirrors, and Cultösaurus Erectus -- although every album has elements of their extreme creativity and musicianship. It pleases me to see young men an women at their shows these days sharing the performances and fandom with these legendary artists -- be it a BÖC or a Blue Coupe (Albert & Joe Bouchard with Denny Dunaway.) These shows are still impressive in many ways and bring back memories of some of the best R&R shows ever seen in small clubs or the largest arenas around the globe. Treasure. Simply treasure!

After what I read, I can hardly feel my heart...

Moody, Meaningful & Majestic ...

Such a spectral song. BOC took this piece to another dimension!

"paper mister?"

11 dislikes?? I despair sometimes.

I was just thinking the same .. what do some people want from a song ??? This is & always has been stunning ...

Oh baby don't it make you feel so bad?

One of my Top 3 favorite Blue Oyster Cult Songs!  1.(Don't Fear) the Reaper  2.Vengeance (The Pact)  3.Morning Final

Nice to see Vengeance & Morning Final in a Top 3 .. both beautifully written, innovative & perfectly executed songs but then this is BOC .. they make my Top 12 (I think, it's tough !!).

This album is flawless. Mic drop.

The most underrated song on one of the '70's most underrated records.  BOC - the heavy metal band with a sense of humor.  Most lyrics from most hard rock bands are just fluff that enables the shredder to throw down licks.  Not BOC!

Yes this powerful song is based on a real life event close to the band .. & it shows .. real meaning, power & atmosphere in the lyrics, vocal & music ... BOC were unique.

BOC is a message and a feeling.

A gift to the enlightened .........

The meaning of this song is explained by Joe Bouchard in an interview, so no more guessing regarding what it's about. Look up "The College Crowd Digs Me: Interview -- Joe Bouchard" Scroll about half way down and you will see where the interviewer, Casey Chambers, mentions Morning Final as a buried treasure on side two of Agents of Fortune. Joe then explains why he wrote it.

RENO NEVADA

fuck them all

Bravo BOC

Bra I boc

Bra I boc

I just saw them in concert last week in Albuquerque New Mexico! Makes about 8 times seeing them. Awesome band!!

greatest tune; great "sing along" !

I'm a massive BOC fan. If I had to pick just one song, this would be it. So perfect in every way. Joe on vocals. Albert riding the cymbal. Alan banging the keys. Buck ripping the strings. Sorry Eric, no offense.

Does Eric play on this?

Rhythm guitar.

Eric sang Astronomy ... he has plenty of credit in the bank )

Eric also does the paperboy voice at the end...

real music! Anything after BOC is just noise!

anyone think about the chase scene in the movie Seven with B. Pitt when listening to this?Great song.

horned swoop bungo pony

At Altamont, at the hands of the Rolling Stones and the Hell's Angels, the Summer of Love died. Blue Oyster Cult picked up the pieces and showed us what rock and roll was really about. We all need more cowbell in our lives.

ALL HAIL GODZILLA-ah-aaah-uh?...I mean, BLUE OYSTER CULT!

"So clear the road, my bully boys and let some thunder pass. We're pain, we're steel, a plot of knives, we're Transmaniacon MC" ~ Yep... this ain't the summer of love...!!!

First song on BÖC's first album was about an MC leaving behind shattered dreams of the 60s at Altamont.

i still see trails when i listen to this album.........................

Amazing and very underrated song

It's unfortunate that its time only comes on days like this

Their best song...and that's saying a lot. musical geniuses. This is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the all of the crap that is currently out. LIGHT YEARS. the atmosphere of this song...the piano...ride cymbal. man

Yeah...when intelligence mattered! this whole album is genius...

anaximander24 yeah that ride cymbal heck yeah! Discovered this track in 1979. I was immediately hooked. You can feel everything they sing I mean you can feel the amazing atmosphere I'm transported every time!

anaximander24 good song for driving in the rain in a big car from the seventies fastish to an eastern city in October

Haha so true! I’m 21 and the music my generation is listening to is just awful, people don’t need play instruments anymore.

I recently purchased their Columbia box set,what an amazing array of songs,the Cult are so underrated!

Literally dozens of great songs .. the box set just proves it.

EVERY ONE MUST LISTEN 2 EVERY ALBUM THEY MADE AND LISTEN 2 THERE RISE IN TALENT,✌

The whole album is ridiculously outrageous. They had a SOUND!

@RoeserFan1 .. The entire run of BOC albums from the first album to Fire of Unknown Origin is the most magnificent listening experiences I have ever heard.

@RoeserFan1 .. BOC have announced a new studio album!

I am with you there my man!

Graham, thanks for that excellent news!

Yup they have announced it on the BOC website.. This current BOC line-up is too good not to have an album.. I cannot wait for this album. Its going to be Epic!

He cast a grim shadow, Through the busy street, Said he was a junkie, And he punctuated his walk with a gun. Motiveless murder, The papers scream, The cops all said, The crowd was iced by the sight. From 46 seconds until 1:17. This is one of rock music's best spot. The way his voice sounds as he speaks the words. And then around 1:55 to 2:14. Buck Dharma just does a fantastic guitar solo. They were masters of creating some of the best rock songs. Don't miss my other favorites songs by this band and others from my past.

Awesomeness

Lary Long... "From 46 seconds until 1:17. This is one of rock music's best spot. The way his voice sounds as he speaks the words. And then around 1:55 to 2:14. Buck Dharma just does a fantastic guitar solo. " Yup.... Genius..

After what I read I can hardly feel my heart --- my heart beat......

You know, it may be Buck who sang all the popular ones, but I think the Bouchards sang the best ones. They should really get more credit.

+Kellen Rist Your 100% correct. The Bouchards did sing the best ones. No doubt about it. B.O.C. were ahead of their time in most cases.

+Kellen Rist I couldn't agree more, all you have to do is look at the Imaginos album. Buck did help them keep employment thou, if Reaper hadn't been written we might not have gotten all these amazing albums that came after. All in all, B.O.C is one of the most prolific and talented bands to ever grace the earth.

@MrRyuHayabusaGaiden Amen to that! 

Hear hear! They are (rightfully) demigods in Japan.

Exactly what do you mean by Demigods?

My choice for the most underrated rock song of all time...

oh my friend if only. Every time i have recorded, bought or played this song repeatedly. I have literally met with Agents of MISfortune. This is no pun. DUI, car crash, illness, article 15, dishonorable discharge. It's cursed, and damn near every time I insisted on playing it disaster followed. Last time was 10 years ago, here goes nothing. Cant hardley feel my heart.

I'd have to agree.

Basil II Macedonia performed by the most underrated rock band of all time.

As could another 7 or 8, at least for them. BOC, best ever U.S. band. No one is even close, especially with the atmospheric aura the convey. Songs like this, like I Love the Night, followed by Nosferatu, just scratches the surface of their brilliance.

@Judy Hawkins .. And Death Valley Nights!

I smoke weed when i hear this music

I smoke it all the time

Did back then too. Love this album!

Another ( almost ) forgotten gem from one of the most underrated bands of all time.

Last Days of May "1975" Take the cake for Me.. Bucky's Guitar Solo's Whoooooooooooooooa....

Was lucky enough to see them on base, with less than a hundred close friends~!~!~! Buck was excellent, as usual~!~!

This song is genius.

U were a lot smarter than many of us. Some concerts by other bands I don't even remember. But I wasn't the driver...I wont drive drunk which is what I tell my young nephews.   Wish I had those old lyric sheets.Thanks buddy..

The album with the offer to get lyrics was Secret Treaties:

I found the first lyrics sheet in my BOC Album (1st album):
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1008927/BOC%20Lyrics%20-%201st%20album.pdf

So cool. Thanks bro. This is surreal seeing these lyrics...U rock.

"surreal" are you 12??

Yo Elf man... how been my friend?

they wrote songs as well as being a great rock band.

My fave BOC song.

Same here.

add teen archer from another album to the MSG here and then Last Days Of May and then Flaming Telepaths and that's almost what I am trying to tell you CS

Here is why I picked BOC agents of Furtune CS

One of my favorite Buck Dharma guitar solo's!

This song is enough to get me off my prescribed meds and back to my preferred ones

1 of my FAV songs

Then again it's my FAV band just seen my 50 show in Peekskill NY 👍

Where did you go at? i just left you for five seconds?

I slipped on a noodle?

I wear the hook and cross on my left arm

...  this album keeps on growing on me still after 35 years! in my little but most amazing collection of Vinyls.
they can make me freakout by pure asskick or get tears in my eyes by...whatever it may be

Love how the guy on the album cover is pointing to their symbol. Or when you open up the album it shows the band playing roulette on the surface of the moon

He looks like N Tesla, dont he?

@james liehr Sorta, yeah. Which album cover do you like the best?

it's buck

cultosauras erectus

+BOC4ALL -- I like the Club Ninja cover the best.

I've had the first six BOC albums in my car CD changer for two years now.  Just keep going round & round... never tiring...

Ever notice that Buck Dharma has never thrown away a solo in his life?
He's amazing.
Rock On.

one of my top 5 BOC tunes.. gets no better than this..

cant explain, this love for BOC

feel I have to hide it from others, what would they think

Amen on that.  Couldnt say it better, and im dead seriuos here..some kind of love it is.   

Chrysblue I get you!

He casts a grim shadow
Through the busy street
said he was a junkie
and punctuated his walk with a gun
Deep stuff man....

Most of their songs are deep. That's what makes'em good. Listen to Heavy Metal-The Black and Silver. Or In the Presence Of Another World, Don't Turn Your Back, Deadline

Their B sides are better than most bands HITS

LOVE IT! THANKS OFR LOADING!

I have no words, even in my polish language when i hear an agents of fortune album.... it is too hard to say... i will never forget it....

Same here but Swedish

Bardzo dobrze...

stunning!!!

I like that one too.

The Revenge of Vera Gemini?

E.T.I.?
