I only discovered this CD at its remastering One of the all time great "concept" albums. Every song has lyrics that comment and expand on lyrics from the other songs. And together they spell a tale of a great miasma of alienation, a global "chill" that overtakes generations when their dreams and hopes and revolutions go unfulfilled.

No-one can hide it anymore we know it's not imaginingEven the skeptics are unsure when they stop to thinkPeople are not worth their life now they are obsoleteWe're dying to be invaded and put the blame on something concreteCHORUSWaiting for the UFOs Waiting for the UFOsWe are waiting for the UFOs We know that they're thereWe're just a joke they sometimes crack, they'll get away with anythingThe government is holding back, they won't say a wordNow is that a light in sky or just a spark in my heart?Can I accept this as evidence or will that tear the whole act apart?CHORUSThis new obsession is turning us alien too tooMuch more resounding my heart just stopped pounding for youWaiting for the UFOs Waiting for the UFOsWe are waiting for the UFOs Waiting WaitingREPEAT CHORUS

the Marvel Comics writer who created the u-foes misheard this as "u-foes", and invented the u-foes as a result. Cool story. I remember from the "Bullpen Bulletin".

Thanks for all the comments. This was my first upload. "Waiting for the UFOs" is a great song, from a great album. I hope the Graham Parker documentary gets released sometime soon. Cheers!

@tvoh01 Yes we are an Alien/Human hybrid coming of age. They are waiting for us to grow out of our programmed fears & say "let's go".

In North America we always say "U. F. O." I misheard this as "Waiting for the U-boats" when this came out!

@tvoh01 thanks for the comment tvoh1. I agree, there is a little alien in all of us. He certainly ignites the sparks of imagination. We're all waiting...

very innovative aliens, perhaps theres a little alien in all of us, or does he just ignite the sparks, perhaps our antenna is sharpened as we gather, or is it....
