Εκδόθηκε το 1974
Οι UFO υπήρξαν ένα απο τα σπουδαιότερα hard rock groups της δεκαετίας του 70.Αν και προυπήρχαν απο το 1969, έπρεπε να πάρουν ως κιθαρίστα τους τον σπουδαίο Michael Schenker για να κυκλοφορήσουν μαζί τα καλύτερα albums της καριέρας τους.Και το εν λόγω album είναι το πρώτο τους με το συγκεκριμένο line up.Δύσκολα μπορείς να βρεις δίσκο που να περιέχει τόσους πολλούς ύμνους του heavy rock.Το ''Doctor Doctor'' είναι πιθανότατα το κομμάτι που επηρρέασε πιο πολύ απο κάθε άλλο το New Wave Of British Heavy Metal κίνημα.Τα ''Oh My'', ''Rock Bottom'', ''Queen Of The Deep'' μαγεύουν με τον συνδυασμό δύναμης και μελωδίας να συναρπάζει και τα ''Crystal Light'' και ''Space Child'' είναι υπέροχες μπαλάντες που δεν έγιναν ποτέ επιτυχίες όπως το ''Belladonna''.Τέλος, στο άκουσμα του ''Lipstick Traces'', φαίνεται η μουσική παιδεία και η απίστευτη αίσθηση της μελωδίας που έχει ο σπουδαίος Γερμανός κιθαρίστας.Οι UFO με το Phenomenon έφτασαν το απόγειο της καριέρας τους καλλιτεχνικά, και το κατέστησαν βασικό και αγέρωχο album για κάθε στοιχειωδώς ενημερωμένη rock δισκοθήκη.

Λίστα τραγουδιών και στίχοι:
1. Oh My
Well, I'm struttin' up and down
Tryin' to get my face in town
Wonderin' the hang where
To turn each time around
Look in your mirror just to see my face
Two way time, baby, it's no disgrace
Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed
Ladies used to dancin' but I move for real
Lookin' for reaction, something you can feel
When ya dance,
I move and they look me in the eye
Two way time, baby, it's no lie
Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed
repeat
repeat
2. Crystal Light
Standin' by the roadside, future in my hands
Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mist along the coast
City lights closed down
Your empty station there
Freight line cuts the ground
Freight line cuts the ground
Crystal light shinin' bright
Shine on down for me
Moon is even passin' by, tryin' not to see
Like a fool I hit that road, did my time at sea
Life was only foolin' me
Oh despair, it bums my lungs,
Find' it hard to breath
The hospital shut their gates,
I can't get me no peace
Wicked people stand and scream,
Stumble the
Road
Close my eyes, turn out the lights
Haven't found a dream, haven't found a dream
repeat
repeat
3.Doctor Doctor
Doctor doctor, please
Don't you know I'm goin fast
Doctor doctor, please,
Don't you know I just can't last.
She walked up to me
And really stole my heart
And then she started
To take my body apart
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
So far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
So far away from you
Doctor doctor, please
Don't you know I just can't last
Doctor doctor, please
Don't you know I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment,
She's turnin' paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy
Doctor doctor, please
Don't you know I'm goin fast
Doctor doctor, please,
Don't you know I just can't last.But you look so angry
As I crawled across your floor
She's got the strain,
And I can't take any more.
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
So far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
So far away from you
4. Space Child
Goin' through pages
And lookin' down lines and lines
Space of your life is only passing you by
Space child ages as he turns and faces the lie
Then after laughter was caught in his throat as he died
Fly on homeward
Worlds spinnin' by brings clouds in your eye tonight
The space of your life is only passing you by
5. Rock Bottom
Seventeen a nature's queen, know what I mean
Twenty one, a long one,
And you can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful, lyin' there asleep
With the wings of God above you
Before the spirits meet
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Shadow work is closin' in above the lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin' down free to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by the, hands on your clock
Heaven don't open when you knock
repeat
With all darkness closin' in
Will the light reveal your soul
One sweet kiss on your clay cold lips
I'll know sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here
repeat
repeat
6. Too Young To Know
Well, I've stuck out in your street
And I'm lookin' for some kind of halo
When somebody says to me, boy
She's too young to know
Well, I didn't make your time
I never said you were mine
Don't you think you show
I guess I'll have to teach you how to roll
Met you outside school
When sure no one was lookin'
And your teacher looks at me,
All his envy growin'
repeat
I said, take it easy baby,
You sure know what's showin'
And I can't help myself
Without your friends all knowin'
repeat
repeat
You got a long, long way to go
7. Time On My Hands
Long, long year I've sat in this place
Baby, baby, what's good I've had
When you don't know where I wanna go
Find a reason love's left me cold
I've got it, time on my hands
Been drinkin' with the sailor boy
Been tryin' hard to understand
Lines here in my hand
Left me hopin' the wild thoughts I had
My lost feelin' made me so sad
Tried so hard, the smile on my face
Can't get it back a gain, back home with you
repeat
repeat
repeat
8. Built For Comfort
Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
I don't have no diamond, and I don't have no gold
But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know
That I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs
But if you want me, you got to take your time
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
But I got everything all the good girls need
I ... I love you baby
I ... I love you baby
But I got everything all of the good girls need
And I don't got no diamonds, don't have no gold
Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul
I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
9. Lipstick Traces
10. Queen Of The Deep
Heaven knows why I'm left here in this place
With the sun up in my eyes
Symbols of the morning comin' on
With the love that's got too strong to hold
If I'd been so much wiser then
I would have known which path to choose
Heaven help the lucky one
Heaven help you
Heard the news come on the radio
About the loves and the flame
I'd already heard before
Baby, two years ago
Say it's too hard to return
Now it seemed just like a dream
I saw and already seen it
On my tv screen
Now I could see all these conflicts goin' on
Don't you think you could show some thanks
I just might give you a standin' ovation
When I'm here and gone
