Shot Down in the Night is a 1979 song written by Steve Swindells, who was at that time keyboardist with the UK rock group Hawkwind. Swindells and Hawkwind released different versions of the song as a single on 27 June 1980. Hawkwind's version reached in the UK singles chart, being a slightly different version to the one on the album Live Seventy Nine. The song was written by Steve Swindells while rehearsing with Hawkwind (then working under the name "Hawklords") at Rockfield Studios in 1979

Live Seventy Nine is a 1980 live album by Hawkwind recorded on their Winter 1979 tour. It reached on the UK album chart. This is a reconstituted Hawkwind with Brock, Bainbridge and King emerging from the dissolved Hawklords, joined by lead guitarist Huw Lloyd-Langton who had played on the debut album Hawkwind and keyboardist Tim Blake who was a long-standing friend of the band and had played on Gong's Radio Gnome trilogy.

The secret's only for a few Superpower looks down on you Someone's watching every move You can break the lock and turn on the light You know your danger feelings are right Try to run or put up a fight You'll be shot down in the night Shot down like an animal. See them run like rats from the factory Push them out to the twilight zone Let them feed on their needs 'til they're overthrown Take them up to a place in the gallery Show them God with an angel face Curtain call for the fall Of the Human race

Shot down like an animal See them run like rats from the factory Push them out to the twilight zone Let them feed on their needs 'Til they're overthrown Take them up to a place in the gallery Show them God with an angel face Curtain call for the fall Of the Human race Play it straight and it seems like a. mystery Tell the truth and it sounds like lies Looking down at the ground With your angry eyes Play the game and you'll see there's a difference Join the ranks and you'll get your kicks See the world, and the girls, and the dirty tricks. Songwriters: SWINDELLS, STEVE.
