Blue Oyster Cult

Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll is the debut single by American hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult from their eponymous debut album Blue Öyster Cult released April 21, 1972. Despite not charting, it has become a staple in the band's live show. Its demo is credited with getting the band signed with Columbia Records. Lead vocals were performed by drummer Albert Bouchard. The lyrics describe the devastation of nuclear war with metaphors likening the destruction to rock and roll music. Lyrics: [Verse 1: Albert Bouchard] My heart is black and my lips are cold Cities on flame with rock and roll Three thousand guitars, they seem to cry My ears will melt and then my eyes [Chorus: Albert Bouchard] Let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll Cities on flame now with rock and roll [Verse 2: Albert Bouchard] Gardens of Nocturne, forbidden delight Reins of steel and it's alright Cities on flame with rock and roll Marshall will buoy, but Fender control [Chorus: Albert Bouchard] So let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll Cities on flame now with rock and roll [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3: Albert Bouchard] My heart is black and my lips are cold Cities on flame with rock and roll Three thousand guitars, they seem to cry My ears will melt and then my eyes [Chorus: Albert Bouchard] So let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll Cities on flame now with rock and roll [Instrumental Outro]

Don't Fear The Reaper is a song by American rock band Blue Öyster Cult from the 1976 album Agents of Fortune. The song, written and sung by lead guitarist Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser, deals with eternal love and the inevitability of death. Dharma wrote the song while picturing an early death for himself. Released as an edited single (omitting the slow building interlude in the original), the song is Blue Öyster Cult's highest chart success, reaching #7 in Cash Box and #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1976. Critical reception was positive and in December 2003 Don't Fear The Reaper was listed at number 405 on Rolling Stone's list of the top 500 songs of all time. Lyrics: [Verse 1: Buck Dharma] All our times have come Here, but now they're gone Seasons don't fear the Reaper Nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain [Chorus: Buck Dharma] (We can be like they are) Come on, baby (Don't fear the Reaper) Baby, take my hand (Don't fear the Reaper) We'll be able to fly (Don't fear the Reaper) Baby, I'm your man La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 2: Buck Dharma] Valentine is done Here, but now they're gone Romeo and Juliet Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet) 40,000 men and women everyday (Like Romeo and Juliet) 40,000 men and women everyday (Redefine happiness) Another 40,000 coming everyday [Chorus: Buck Dharma] (We can be like they are) Come on, baby (Don't fear the Reaper) Baby, take my hand (Don't fear the Reaper) We'll be able to fly (Don't fear the Reaper) Baby, I'm your man La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3: Buck Dharma] Love of two is one Here, but now they're gone Came the last night of sadness And it was clear she couldn't go on The door was open and the wind appeared The candles blew and then disappeared The curtains flew and then he appeared [Outro: Buck Dharma] (Saying, "don't be afraid") Come on, baby (And she had no fear) And she ran to him (Then they started to fly) They looked backward and said goodbye (She had become like they are) She had taken his hand (She had become like they are) Come on, baby (Don't fear the Reaper)
