UFO - Profession Of Violence Lyrics






Hey babe what we gonna do
No look behind me glances
Straight time this time
We'll take our chances
Darling it's been so long
Every lonely hour
What the sinner pulls the trigger
And the world turns sour

[1] Whisper in the wind
Locked in silence
Profession of violence
Whisper on the wind
Locked in silence
Profession of violence

Try to pick up the pieces
Maybe move away
But the laughter
Was only yesterday
Down the halls of justice
The echoes never fade
Notches on my gun
Another debt is paid

[1 Repeat]

[INSTRUMENTAL]

    What an amazing song & the best solo Paul Chapman has ever played.

  2. S.... ....

    what a sweet solo man <3

  3. S.... J....

    Songs I listened to when I was a teenager in Taiwan. now I am 50 and have lived in Australia nearly 30 years...............and still love them

  4. u.... s....

    Great album from a massively underrated band.

  5. G.... M....

    Hammer-Song - so many emotions.... love it - more than i can say!!!!!!

  6. T.... A....

    Such an evocative powerful song, stands up all these years later. Even the great M Schenker himself could not have played that solo any better imo.

  7. K.... L....

    Um dos solos mais bonitos e perfeitos do mundo

  8. A.... R....

    que bello tema

  9. c.... ....

    Paul chapman

  11. B.... B....

    Jesus, how have i lived so long without this song ?

  12. m.... k....

    How can any rocker not like this song? And what are those 15 Donny Osmond fans doing here?

  13. d.... s....

    TOTUWORLD. You hit the nail on the head. It is a true masterpiece. As for the 13 morons I think they are the kind of people who go around pretendlng they like rock music because it looks cool. Then they return to their Boy Band Collection when the sun goes down and know one is looking.

  14. R.... C....

    Beautiful melody!!!!
    And just to hear Phil's voice.........chilling!!!!

  15. I.... P....

    14 people don't know how much feel Chapman had in this solo or are just plain deaf. this slide show was flawless! great vid

    I.... P....

    Ignister Prominence, The Blasting Dracoslayer hard to understand isn't it? So much feel in this song

  16. w.... ....

    Chapman's melodic solo is epic. So much feeling.

    w.... ....

    I know, right? Yet, go say UFO, everyone will go "Wut?"...underrated band is underrated...

  17. W.... J....

    ,,,,,, more then top stuff !

  18. M.... ....

    118000 + views, 637 likes and 13 morons. I bet I know some of those morons, so go take a good run and fuck to yourselves, you are dead to me !!!

  25. E.... A....

    Saw them a few times in the 70's. Always had a kick ass show.

  26. E.... ....

    Schenker had tons and tons of great solo that nothing compares to such as Born to Lose, Let it Roll, On with the Action, Try me etc etc...

    E.... ....

    +EUguitarRULE Yes , Born To Lose is without doubt Exceptional, as are the others.

  54. M.... ....

    ok ok...haven't listen to it for about one year now (WHY??) so last night came on my mind, on my utube, on my FB wall and tataaaaa...welcome to the "Stuck on ur Brain for a month" land!!!
    PERFECTION...GREAT UFO!!!!!!!!!! The solo takes my breath away !!!!

  55. B.... S....

    thanks Maria , it`s been a pleasure being apart of your life even if its across the water

  56. J.... F....

    I agree that this is a great solo. Take this and listen to Try Me off of Lights Out, which was Schenker's best solo ever, and you have the 2 best solos from UFO's 2 best guitarists. All apologies to Vinnie Moore. Schenker and Chapman RULE!

  57. q.... ....

    Saw UFO at the Marquis in London in the early 70's.. Great show. Brilliant

    I had Profession of violence solo off note for note. Great song.

  58. M.... H....

    Although they are not mentioned by name in this song, which is rather short lyrically, "Profession Of Violence" was inspired by the Kray Twins, who were notorious East End Gangsters in the 1960s

  59. m.... ....

    great job man!!

  60. i.... ....

    Hauntingly beautiful!!!

  61. W.... ....

    Absolutely one of the best ever!!

  62. G.... ....

    He seems a really nice bloke. I haven't met him, but sent him a message (re. guitar-playing) on his old website, and he sent a very nice reply. Did you get him to play this number?

  63. T.... ....

    Paul is phenomenal, took lessons from him each week for 8 years. This solo is easily top 10 in my book. But I'm quite biased, if you are located in Central Florida then look him up.

  64. c.... d....

    Thanks for sharing. Great song.

  65. M.... ....

    Thank you to everyone who has viewed , I did not expect so many views !!

    Hermosa canción. Gracias por subirla.

  68. m.... ....

    Thanks for the upload and making of the nice video clip.
    This is my favourite track from Chapman-era of the UFO. Chapman's guitar solo here is brilliant. Let's not forget Paul Raymond's cool piano here. I think he also contributed to creating this amazing song, alongside with Phil Mogg's lyrics and vocals.

  69. H.... O....

    Great song, great band!

  70. W.... ....

    amazing song by one of the best bands of all time!
