Hawkwind - Night of the Hawks (Live)

In all official circles
Across this big wide world
Between the radio stations
A coded message heard
No one knew the meaning
All our efforts seem to fail
But if they catch you listening
Then they'll lock you up in jail
So we found ourselves a place we did not know
Tension in the air and a strange earthly glow
Then amidst the noise of a thousand people's talk
There came a cry "It's The Night of The Hawk!"
The wind was raging, and the stars were black
We all knew there was no turning back
The gates of Hell stared in our face
Nowhere to hide in this wasted place
The curious folk who chanced to stray across this downland way
Heard the music blast apart
The games that politicians start
On English land the people dance
Like moths caught in a lamp
Where tribes of wanton peacocks strut
All waiting to encamp
So we found ourselves a place we did not know
Tension in the air and a strange earthly glow
Then amidst the noise of a thousand people's talk
There came a cry "It's The Night of The Hawk"

Some of the best chord progressions i have ever heard come from this band pure magic HAIL HAWKWIND

[@Michael.8228]

This is the greatest version ever.

[@Michael.8228]

Indeed it is...
Still my alltime favourite.

Check out the version on California Brainstorm, it similar but better.

Yep💪

This is the gentle folksy version. Live at the Gaumont Theatre Ipswich UK 1984 is the real hawkwind version. Full balls out. The band got right into it.

No when Huw lloyd Langton played lead was the best version ever period.

Christoph Waltz resembles Simon House quite a bit in this vid. Good version.
