  • Little River Band - The night owls 1981
    There's a bar right across the street
    He's got a need he just can't beat
    Out on the floor, he shuffles his feet away
    He'll get the girl 'cause he looks so fine
    He's gonna win her every time
    He knows he will, he's dressed to kill
    He's a night owl
    Move on
    there's a heart of a night owl callin'
    To belong
    she's cryin' in the night
    Be strong
    and find the heart of the night owl fallin'
    Stay up till dawn
    until the night is gone
    What will become of the restless kind
    Where do they go when they've done their time
    Wearin' their hearts out on the line
    for all to see
    Must be the gypsy in their soul
    They have a need to rock and roll
    They know they will
    they're out there still
    They're the night owls
    Move on
    there's a heart of a night owl callin'
    To belong
    she's cryin' in the night
    Be strong
    and find the heart of the night owl fallin'
    Stay up till dawn
    until the night is gone
    There's a bar right across the street
    He's got a need he just can't beat
    Out on the floor he shuffles his feet away, yeah yeah
    He'll get the girl 'cause he looks so fine
    He's gonna win her every time
    He knows he will, he's out there still
    He's a night owl
    So move on
    there's a heart of a night owl callin'
    To belong

    I'm in my teenage years and I just found out about them months ago because my neighbor's dad played this song- "The Night Owls" while i was eating. Upon hearing the song, I immediately stood up and took my phone to ask google song recognition "what song is currently playing right now". I really loved this song on the first listen and that's why I decided to dig up on their albums and releases... This band is definitely GOAT!🤘 They have awakened my Musician self!!! Thanks to him I get to listen to a lot of masterpieces. It only shows how much I am missing from this band. Pure Gold!!!!!🤘

      @@folkard84 Yes. Just saw them on Cape Cod. Should have done my research. Afterward, my wife said she feels like we crossed through a picket line. A guy named Housden who joined them in the early 80's retained the rights to the band's namesake after the last of the original members quit. Housden left in 2006, but he continues to essentially direct the current "band." They played the hits which was good, but they now have two lead guitarists, so the original more mellow guitar licks are now on steroids.

      No. Bassist Wayne Nelson is American and not an original member. This is the only LRB song that he originally sang lead vocal. Glenn Shorrock to Nelson's left is the lead singer, and is from Australia

      Nelson also shared the lead vocal on the song "Take It Easy On Me".

    This is filmed on the set of the TV show MUSIK LADEN in Germany. So you would have to ask the producers of that TV show why they had the Confederate Flag as part of their set on that night. :-)

    Ooh! Roger (bass/vocals) and Mal (keyboards) - playing in a band earlier than the sensational (Geoff Achison and the Souldiggers).

      Mal is a good mate of mine. Now lives in the Sunshine Coast hinterland but doesn't play much any more . I think his last gig was a Sunday arvo session with Kevin Borich at a pub up there. Cheers.

    I prefer the more laid back live version on their "One Night in Mississippi" recording. Check it out if you haven't heard it.
