In 1973 the band recruited an 18 year old Michael Schenker from the band Scorpions. This marked a departure from their space rock sound to a more hard edged rock sound. They released a string of critically acclaimed rock albums in the 70s that gained them a following in America and made them stars in the UK. Around the time of the 1978 release of Obsession, tensions between Schenker and Mogg were mounting. UFO arguably reached their peak at this time. In 1978 they toured extensively and recorded material for the double live album Strangers in the Night which was released in 1979. This album is considered by many fans and critics to be one of the best live rock albums ever produced. Immediately after the Strangers in the Night tour Michael Schenker left the band.
After this period UFO's popularity began to decline as they continue to release material. In 1988 they disbanded due to lackluster sales, decline in popularity, and their inability to (or perhaps refusal to) capitalize on the popularity of the glam rock movement. But the hiatus was short lived.
In 1992 Mogg and Way put together another UFO lineup that met with some new interest from fans. In 1993 the original UFO got back together (with Schenker) and the result was 1995's Walk on Water, which some consider to be one of the best comeback rock albums ever.
Schenker re-joined and quit UFO many times in the early 2000s. Due to Schenker's instability as a band member (and erratic tour behavior) Mogg eventually gained full control of the UFO band brand and Schenker is now forever from the picture (most likely).
UFO has released 20 studio albums, and many live/compilation albums. Though the lineup has changed many times over the years the core members of the band were usually involved along the way: Phil Mogg (vocals), Pete Way (bass), Andy Parker (drums), and Paul Raymond (guitar).
UFO's influence was strongly felt in the '80s metal scene and they have been cited as a primary influence of Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, and Iron Maiden who gives thanks to UFO in the liner note of The Number of the Beast.

UFO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Came up and spoke
She touched her toes
And we shared a joke
Taxi's, limos,
Power boat glides
Jet skies, mensa,
Babes without a ride
You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of Gods good days
Can you hear me,
Someone's gonna have to pay
Moonshot, rockets
Nineteen sixties cool
Sonny Boy Williamson,
Pope John Paul
The Congo to Vietnam
The Beatles to the Stones
Is nobody left
Who's gonna shake those bones?
You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of Gods good days
Can you hear me,
Someone's gonna have to pay
Pay all the time
Solo
All of the misfits
All of the scars
All of life's promises
Bottled in jars
There's a hum and a howl.
Lovers on the run
Tell me what's on offer
From the government scum
Solo
Rats will get richer
And the dirt beg for more
Crumbs on the table
For the world of the poor
News of self worship
Fresh from Hollywood
The pygmies of poison,
Don't know bad from good
You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of Gods good days
Can you hear me,
Someone's gonna have to pay
Oh that's pay all the time
Someones got to pay
you ain't walkin'
You ain't talkin'
You got to pay
while I'm looking over your shoulder
You got to pay
The song "Someone's gonna have to pay" by UFO is a reflection on the current state of society, where individualism and consumerism reign supreme. The opening lines, "American beauty/Came up and spoke/She touched her toes/And we shared a joke/Taxi's, limos/Power boat glides/Jet skies, mensa/Babes without a ride," describe a materialistic world where everything has a price and people are valued based on their possessions. The singer acknowledges that the revolutionary spirit that once existed is gone, replaced by a culture of self-indulgence and instant gratification.
The lyrics also reference various cultural touchstones from the 1960s, such as Moonshot and rockets, Sonny Boy Williamson, Pope John Paul, the Congo to Vietnam, the Beatles to the Stones. These references highlight the contrast between the idealism of the 60s and the cynicism of the present. The "misfits" and "scars" represent those who are left behind in this new world order, while the "government scum" represent those who hold power and exploit it for their own gain.
Ultimately, the song is a call to action. The singer warns that "someone's gonna have to pay," and that those who benefit from the current system must be held accountable. The repeated refrain, "you got to pay," is a reminder that there are consequences for our actions, and that change is possible if we're willing to fight for it.
