Ah I said this week I will go back to my roots again and talk to you about a great Irish band in the seventies called Thin Lizzy who influenced all the greats such as Guns N Roses and AC/DC. Liking Rory Gallagher and Thin Lizzy came hand in hand and they were a great band. One of my favourite live albums is their Allum "Live and Dangerous" which is full steam ahead for an hour. Worth a listen if you ever wanna rock out. I told my aul friend @captainquack22 to listen to it the other day. Quackman you should do a couple of these TTT posts as well by the way.

But frequently I have been liking a few of Thin Lizzys and Phil Lynott's slower tracks. I think I'm getting old and noise is becoming a problem for me so I'm resorting to the easy listening tracks.
So my first track on the list this week is:
I just love this tune. Really easy listening. Good guitar all the way through. Nice lyrics. The classical Phil Lynott voice.
I just loved him.

I'm a fool now that it's over
Can you guess my name?
I make my money singing songs about you
It's my claim to fame
When they say it's over
It's not all over, there's still the pain
I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again
Oh I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again
If I said I was sorry
Would you still leave me?
I never thought you'd go 'till you did
Believe me
When they say it's over
It's not all over completely
'Cause I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again
Yes I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again
I miss that girl
The show is over
And we must all go home
Just leave me by myself
I'll be alright here on my own
If it's all over, it's all over
And I'm all alone
And I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again
Don't you know I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again

Probably one of my favourite songs of all time this one. It's just perfect. The guitar solo is perfect. It's just a great song.
When I passed you in the doorway
Well, you took me with a glance
I should've took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance
Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
And my father, he's going crazy
He says I'm livin' in a trance
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
(It's alright, alright)
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long, hot summer night
It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should've been in by ten
Now I won't get out until Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
Oh, but it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
(It's alright, alright)
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long, hot summer night
And I'm walking home
The last bus has long gone
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
(It's alright, alright)
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long, hot summer night
Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight)
It's caught me in its spotlight (it's caught me in in it's spotlight)
Dancing in the moonlight (dancing in the moonlight)
On this long, hot summer night (it's got me hot)
Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight)
It's caught me in its spotlight (it's caught me alright) (it's alright, alright)
Dancing in the moonlight (alright, alright, alright, alright)
On this long, hot summer night (got so goddamn hot)
Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing)
It's caught me in its spotlight (I'm still dancing)
Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight)
On this long, hot summer night
Phil Lynott
I love the seventy songs. 3 minutes. Bing Bang Bosh. Like the brass at the end of this one and the video is hilarious. Phil just walking around London looking all cheesy. Phil has a statue just off Grafton Street in Dublin and I used to pass him by heading home from Coppers (world famous nightclub in Dublin) every night and gave him a Japanese like bow. Phil was a great bassist in his own right by the way and the bass is beside him on the statue.
Lyrics
The old covent garden
I remember only too well
The girl's a fool
She broke the rule
She hurt him hard
This time you will break down
She's lost his trust
And so she must
All is lost
The System has broke down
Romance has broke down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broke down
She plays it hard
She plays it tough
But that's enough
The love is over
She's broke his heart and that is rough
But in the end you'll soon recover
The romance is over
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broke down
I've been spending my money
In the old town
It's not the same honey
When you're not around
I've been spending my time
In the old town
I sure miss you honey
Now you're not around
Now you're not around
This old town
Ola
Ola
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broke down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broke down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broke down
