Blue Oyster Cult Lyrics


FORMED: 1967, Long Island, NY

"This ain't the summer of love," snarled Blue Oyster Cult
singer Eric Bloom, resplendent in studs and black leather,
back in 1976 on the band's platinum-plus best seller,
Agents of Fortune, and the sentiment is perhaps even more
revealing today.

Blue Oyster Cult's new album, "Cult Classic" on Herald
Records, distributed by Caroline, includes state-of-the-art
digital re-recordings of the band's greatest hits,
featuring the version on "Don't Fear The Reaper" heard in
Stephen King's TV mini-series, "The More...

Review about Blue Oyster Cult songs
Great song! | Reviewer: Pete
    ------ About the song BURNIN' FOR YOU performed by Blue Oyster Cult

It's nice to pick up a line from someone who knows the lyrics. When I see "Time to play besides" instead of "Time to play B-sides", it's obvious the writer doesn't know the lyrics and misses the whole point of the line.

    ------ About the song VENGEANCE (THE PACT) performed by Blue Oyster Cult

This song, along with 'Veteran of the Pyschic Wars' appeared on the soundtrack to the original Heavy Metal (animated) movie.

Lyrics correspond to storyline in film; timing may have been necessary to sync to video...

Great song! Imaginos is still the best thing out there. | Reviewer: Don
    ------ About the song MAGNA OF ILLUSION performed by Blue Oyster Cult

Great song! How did this album (Imaginos) sneak by with out much recognition? This is the best collection of music and lyrics that I have ever encountered!!!!!!! when listening you must read the lyrics!

One more for the vampire theorists... | Reviewer: David Hornsby
    ------ About the song I LOVE THE NIGHT performed by Blue Oyster Cult

I'm with the vampire theorists on this one, and if I'm right, BOC were a bit ahead of their time! Although Derek's right (loved the review by the way) about vampires not exactly being morning or afternoon people, there's a vampire character in BBC TV's 'Being Human' who copes pretty well with a day job, and the vampire union's been doing a bit of rethink in recent years on the whole 'up after dusk' thing...

The most important thing is it's a great song which I've loved for about 30 years: my 7 year-old daughter now loves it too.

Vampire Theory | Reviewer: Derek Hunter
    ------ About the song I LOVE THE NIGHT performed by Blue Oyster Cult

I can see how people would interpret this as about vampires, and it's not like I wouldn't like to agree, but how does one explain the following line:

"The day is ok, and the sun can be fun."

Regardless of what the rules are governing vampires nowadays, the sun was NOT fun in 99% of vampire lore. SPF 3,000,000 sunblock wouldn't have spared a vampire from having a really bad day if exposed.

The line, "One look in the mirror told me so," although supportive of a vampire theory is hardly conclusive. BOC seems to write songs such that it's never conclusive what exactly they're writing about. Part of the mystery, I suppose.

    ------ About the song WHITE FLAGS performed by Blue Oyster Cult

One of the all time great songs BUT it's NOT a BOC song! It's a cover of a song by Leggat, from their 1982 album Illuminations. As good as the BOC version is, it's just a note for note copy of Leggat, and loses some of the impact of Hugh Leggat's original vocal performance.

    ------ About the song THE RED AND THE BLACK performed by Blue Oyster Cult

LAST TIME I talked to Carl;[SAGAN,that is]we slammed doors on th'BEEMER and headed out th'L.I.E. in N,Y,-and he fumbled w/the case and slipped in the disc..."whattcha got there?"I asked the great man....he said..."BOCK"...BOCK ROCKS!!!!" and he lit that bomber and GASSED on that bitch-----and with BUCK and the boys,we LEFT the city...HELL,we "LEFT" the car at 3 digits...whatta trip......

Quintessential BOC | Reviewer: Mark Biggus
    ------ About the song THE GREAT SUN JESTER performed by Blue Oyster Cult

One of the finest BOC songs ever created on their most underrated album, Mirrors. The Great Sun Jester (written with Michael Moorcock) fully brings to life the flavor that is BOC. SiFi with a touch of wry humor that exists in so many of their songs. This album and especially this song is essential not only to the BOC fan but to all rock'n'rollers everywhere!

The Darkness... | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song CITIES ON FLAME performed by Blue Oyster Cult

This is the quintessential song from the band's debut album. It's a theme song for all hard rock/heavy metal musicians. Along with refence to losing body parts and death, it's one of the darkest rock and roll themes ever.
