When I passed you in the doorway
Well, you took me with a glance I should have 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 say's I'm living in a trance But I'm dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight It's all right, all right 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 have 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 But I'm dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight It's all right, all right Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night And I'm walking home The last bus is long gone But I'm dancing in the moonlight But I'm dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight It's all right, all right Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night But I'm dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night But I'm dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight It's all right, all right Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night But I'm dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight It's all right, all right Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night |

Outside the window the neon flashes
In the morning light Down on the sidewalk there's a woman with a problem But she don't know how to fight She's destitute and broken down She softly whispers is there no one around And no one hears the sound Her knees give way and hit the ground This is the toughest street in town This is the toughest street in town This is the toughest street in town This is the toughest Like a rat in a pack it attacks From the back Through a crack in a track And you take a smack This Jack has had a hard day No one told him it would be like this He's had to score the hard way Working on twenty hour shifts This is the toughest street in town This is the toughest It's tough stuff This is the toughest street around This is the toughest Don't you do down No how It's just another black spot Where far too many people have died It's just another grave yard And there's not too many people left alive This is the toughest Are you tough enough This is the toughest Are you rough enough This is the toughest Can you bluff enough Just a minor misery did me no harm But it's there to warn outside the window The neon is still flashing in the morning light Down on the sidewalk that woman was blown away Out of sight All across the city no one gives a damn All across the city no one seems to understand This is the toughest This is the toughest street in town This is the toughest street around This is the toughest Are you rough enough This is the toughest If I were you I wouldn't come around here-ac |

It's a tedious existence laying your love on the line
Resistance is useless she can leave at any time I must confess that in my quest I felt depressed and restless But this Casanova's roving days are over more or less With love She broke my heart and made me sad You foolish boy you lost what you had My Mademoiselle I must make my farewell You see Senor I know she don't want me no more I'd like to make that Fraulein mine, mein Fraulein So I'll depart sweetheart and leave you with this line With love She says she won't be back no more With love She says she's leaving for sure My Mademoiselle I'll say farewell No matter where you are, Au Revoir 'Til we meet again, Auf Wiedersehn She wrote it on a letter But it didn't make him feel any better With love She says goodbye, adios, farewell There are those who will spend a lifetime of leisure 'Til the leisure finally takes control And they'll spend their life in search of pleasure Never knowing the treasure that they own There are those who will spend a lifetime in hard labour 'Til the labour breaks both body and soul And they will learn to love their neighbor And be assured of what they own |

Tell me the legends of long ago
When the kings and queens would dance in the realm of the Black Rose Play me the melodies I want to know So I can teach my children, oh Pray tell me the story of young Cuchulainn How his eyes were dark his expression sullen And how he'd fight and always won And how they cried when he was fallen Oh tell me the story of the Queen of this land And how her sons died at her own hand And how fools obey commands Oh tell me the legends of long ago Where the mountains of Mourne come down to the sea Will she no come back to me Will she no come back to me Oh Shenandoah I hear you calling Far away you rolling river Roll down the mountain side On down on down go lassie go Oh Tell me the legends of long ago When the kings and queens would dance in the realms of the Black Rose Play me the melodies so I might know So I can tell my children, oh My Roisin Dubh is my one and only true love It was a joy that Joyce brought to me While William Butler waits And Oscar, he's going Wilde Ah sure, Brendan where have you Behan? Looking for a girl with green eyes My dark Rosaleen is my only colleen That Georgie knows Best But Van is the man Starvation once again Drinking whiskey in the jar-o Synge's Playboy of the Western World As Shaw, Sean I was born and reared there Where the Mountains of Mourne come down to the sea Is such a long, long way from Tipperary |

I've seen a fire start in Frisco The day that the earth quaked I've seen buildings a-blazing Throwing up in flames I heard men, women and children Crying out to their God for mercy But their God didn't listen So they were burned alive They went down, down, deep underground In the great disaster I was hanging out in Berlin In the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty nine I've seen Hitler's storm troopers March right across the Maginot Line I've seen two world wars I've seen men send rockets out into space I foresee a holocaust An angel of death descending to destroy the human race Down, down, deep undergound A great disaster In the sixteenth century there was a French philosopher By the name of Nostradamus Who prophesised that in the late twentieth century An angel of death shall waste this land A holocaust the likes of which This planet had never seen Now, I ask you Do you believe this to be true? I was standing by the bedside The night that my father died He was crying out in pain To his God he said, "Have mercy, mercy!" His body was riddled with a disease Unknown to man so he expected no cure But before he died that night He was lost, insane He went down, down, deep underground A great disaster You'll go down, down, deep underground A great disaster I think they've got now! Angel of Death (Lynott, Wharton) [Lorelei version] -------------- I was hanging round in Frisco In the year of one hundred and nineteen six When I heard about the earthquake The world trembled from within I saw the fire ragin Through all that time I heard people dying They went down, down, deep underground In the great disaster I was hanging out in Berline In the year one hundred nineteen and thirty nine I've seen Hitler's storm troopers March right across the Maginot line I've seen men run away crying "Gas!" Right in front of their throats I wouldn't think that I was squeezing They went down, down, deep underground a great disaster I was standing at the bedside That night my father died I could see him crying for mercy A disease had got his body I was afraid then As I am now The Lord did not hear him He went anyhow He went down, down, deep underground It was a disaster I will go down, down, underground To meet my master Down, down |

Guess who just got back today,
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away, Haven't changed, had much to say, But man, I still think them cats are crazy. They were askin' if you were around, How you was, where you could be found. Told them you were livin' downtown, Drivin' all the old men crazy. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. You know that chick that used to dance a lot, Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got. Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot. And that time over at Johnny's place, Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face, Man, we just fell about the place, If that chick don't wanna know, forget her. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. Friday night they'll be dressed to kill, Down at Deano's bar and grill The drink will flow, and blood will spill, And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em. That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song, The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long, Won't be long 'til summer comes, Now that the boys are here again. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. Transcribed by Rich Kulawiec, rsk@ecn.purdue.edu. |

And headed for the big race I felt a chill on my backbone As I hung up the telephone Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat Running down the back of my neck To lose means trouble, to win pays double And I got me a heavy bet Cold, cold sweat They say chances on the outside Are looking pretty slim I feel so lucky on the inside I feel I'm gonna to win Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat Running down the back of my neck Take a little money, there's nothing left to lose And I got me a heavy bet Cold, cold sweat I've got me a whole month's wages I haven't seen that much in ages I might spend it in stages And move out to Las Vegas Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat Running down the back of my neck To lose means trouble, to win pays double And I got me a heavy bet Cold, cold sweat I put my money in a suitcase They say chances on the outside I got a whole months wages Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat Stone cold crazy Place another bet |

Down from the glen came the marching men
With their shields and their swords To fight the fight they believed to be right Overthrow the overlords To the town where there was plenty They brought plunder, swords and flame When they left the town was empty Children would never play again From their graves I heard the fallen Above the battle cry By that bridge near the border There were many more to die Then onward over the mountain And outward towards the sea They had come to claim the Emerald Without it they could not leave |

Tell me the legends of long ago
When the kings and queens would dance in the realm of the Black Rose Play me the melodies I want to know So I can teach my children, oh Pray tell me the story of young Cuchulainn How his eyes were dark his expression sullen And how he'd fight and always won And how they cried when he was fallen Oh tell me the story of the Queen of this land And how her sons died at her own hand And how fools obey commands Oh tell me the legends of long ago Where the mountains of Mourne come down to the sea Will she no come back to me Will she no come back to me Oh Shenandoah I hear you calling Far away you rolling river Roll down the mountain side On down on down go lassie go Oh Tell me the legends of long ago When the kings and queens would dance in the realms of the Black Rose Play me the melodies so I might know So I can tell my children, oh My Roisin Dubh is my one and only true love It was a joy that Joyce brought to me While William Butler waits And Oscar, he's going Wilde Ah sure, Brendan where have you Behan? Looking for a girl with green eyes My dark Rosaleen is my only colleen That Georgie knows Best But Van is the man Starvation once again Drinking whiskey in the jar-o Synge's Playboy of the Western World As Shaw, Sean I was born and reared there Where the Mountains of Mourne come down to the sea Is such a long, long way from Tipperary |

And scooping a bowl of beans Spreading them like stars Falling like justice on different scenes ";I'm damned"; ";Indeed, comrade"; ";I'm being bombed"; And all the people's faces turned strawberry blonde By the morning gate the friendly ranger waits For the sun making sure it's not late ";Just in time"; ";No need to fear"; ";Well, just in case"; And all the people are happy for another year And in the evening shade he climbs upon the sun Getting it's glow He goes on Singing this song To feel the goodness glowing inside To walk down a street with my arms about your hips, side by side To play with a sad eyed child till he smiles To look at a starry sky at night, realize the miles To see the sun set behind the steeple Clontarf Castle, no King, Queen or knightly people A coal fire and it's pouring rain To wave goodbye to a very good friend, never meet again Little thoughts bring little memories of you to me |

I could wait and watch you
See it all unwind I could wait and look at you See you change your mind Well, even though i'd enjoyed it The truth to tell Kid, I've got to leave Those scenes behind Here I go into a new day Here I go into a new way When you stood in that shady doorway You winked your wicked eye I looked at you in wide eyed wonder Smiled, and said "hi" Just like you did woman with That groovy guy that just passed by Well, even though I adored you the truth to tell Kid, I've got to leave those scenes behind Here I go into a new day Here I go into a new way I guess I could call you my woman But freedom I need So down that road I'll be walking Got to have time and space to breathe Even though I loved you The truth I've got to tell I enjoyed every moment But kid, you know darned well I've got to leave Here I go into a new day Here I go into a new way |

Late, sometime before midnight
He comes creeping up And before you get him sussed He's gone before dusk And when you arise Red ruby rings circle your eyes If it's later than you realized Check with the stars and the skies Old moon madness has struck again A howl in the dark light A flash of teeth bright white A scream and a bite Old moon madness has struck again tonight But there's no need to worry For the crimes that you've done Worse has been committed With no moon madness to blame it on Old moon madness has struck again In fact you could say you're lucky You and me Mother Earth has only one moon And not three |

There goes Moses carrying his bible book Never has a problem, just has a cup It's good clean alcohol and it fills you up And here I go laughing like a fool, yeah Things ain't working out down at the farm Got no bag or baggage or love to keep me warm And I ain't been in trouble since the day I was born Things ain't working out down at the farm I used to spend my sunny days supping aways Along came Gogarty and he put me away Down at the station was kept for strays And I went laughing, geez he like busting me, he liked busting me He caught me unawares and he made me strip naked Oh I was scared, oh I was scared, I was shaking And he said It's you and me And me and you And me and me And you and you And me and me And I just kept laughing like a fool, yeah Things ain't working out down at the farm |

This is another classic Thin Lizzy song and is of particular merit. A major proliferation of environmental songs began in the eighties and nineties by bands such as R.E.M. and the like. Thin Lizzy did this same thing almost twenty years earlier! Mama Nature said "It's murder what you've done" I sent you forth my brightest world Now it's nearly gone Birds and bees Been telling me You can't see The forest for the trees You cover up your lies With sympathies And I got no solutions To your persecution Mama Nature said "I can't believe it's true" I gave you life and food for thought Look what did you do You're killing my rivers Drowning my baby streams Day by day by day by day I hear them scream I'm so disillusioned I'm so disillusioned Mama Nature said "You're guilty of this crime" Now it's not just a matter of fact But just a matter of time Cruel will be the vengeance So savage is the deed that's done And I've got no solutions To your own pollutions |

The hero he rode a white horse
Across the desert to where his woman was He'd been riding for four days When he saw the tower where she was locked In the moonlight he left his old steed Near the drawbridge that he crossed And by way of a rope ladder He tip-toed to where his woman was If I recall you're the actor Who followed the stars Searching for The lost city of Mars Hoping time would heal the scars Knowing fate held no bars Are you the one That I think you are? Are you the hero or are you the madman? The madman climbed The steeple spire |

These words I wrote, play and sing to you
Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you For this is a song for while I'm away To say all the things I'd love to say You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say Now I'm headed for the border You see this song it ends right at the start I swore when I was younger No one would win my heart And far away hills look greener still But soon they'll all slip away It's then I'll be returning And I'll be coming home to stay You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say |

The song, "Bandshee", as it appeared on the Night Life release, is an
instrumental. The lyrics printed below are from one of the poetry books of Philip Lynott and is entitled, "Banshee". I was your lover You were my queen You broke my heart I gave up everything I was your friend But you were my foe I told you that I could not let you go At night I hear the wind calling "Oh come back my darling" Oh banshee! Oh banshee! It keeps on calling me, keeps on calling me We dance the night away Oh we dance the night away I won your heart You took my soul I love you then But you left me cold I was your lover You were my queen You broke my heart I gave up everything At night I can hear you calling "Oh come back my darling" Oh banshee!

Oh my god
There's millions of them! I've seen a fire start in Frisco The day that the earth quaked I've seen buildings a-blazing Throwing up in flames I heard men, women and children Crying out to their God for mercy But their God didn't listen So they were burned alive They went down, down, deep underground In the great disaster I was hanging out in Berlin In the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty nine I've seen Hitler's storm troopers March right across the Maginot Line I've seen two world wars I've seen men send rockets out into space I foresee a holocaust An angel of death descending to destroy the human race Down, down, deep undergound A great disaster In the sixteenth century there was a French philosopher By the name of Nostradamus Who prophesised that in the late twentieth century An angel of death shall waste this land A holocaust the likes of which This planet had never seen Now, I ask you Do you believe this to be true? I was standing by the bedside The night that my father died He was crying out in pain To his God he said, "Have mercy, mercy!" His body was riddled with a disease Unknown to man so he expected no cure But before he died that night He was lost, insane He went down, down, deep underground A great disaster You'll go down, down, deep underground A great disaster I think they've got now! Angel of Death (Lynott, Wharton) [Lorelei version] -------------- I was hanging round in Frisco In the year of one hundred and nineteen six When I heard about the earthquake The world trembled from within I saw the fire ragin Through all that time I heard people dying They went down, down, deep underground In the great disaster I was hanging out in Berline In the year one hundred nineteen and thirty nine I've seen Hitler's storm troopers March right across the Maginot line I've seen men run away crying "Gas!" Right in front of their throats I wouldn't think that I was squeezing They went down, down, deep underground a great disaster I was standing at the bedside That night my father died I could see him crying for mercy A disease had got his body I was afraid then As I am now The Lord did not hear him He went anyhow He went down, down, deep underground It was a disaster I will go down, down, underground To meet my master Down, down |

He hasn't got a friend 'cos no one told him You didn't want to see him again He's all washed up and washed out Without you baby Every place he goes He's thrown out He's turned vicious He's malicious Just goes to show how much he misses You know what He wouldn't tell me You didn't want to see him again You didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again I couldn't tell him You didn't want to see him again I didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again |

The man finds himself alone for the first time in his life
He's always got a problem, he's got to work it out wrong or right He's got to work it out, he's so lonely in the night He's got to work it all alone Now who in the world would believe that he's got another trick up his sleeve And who in the world wants to know which way should he go Which way should he turn? which way should he learn? Which day should he stop? which way to the top? I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then I still can recall when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all This living on his own has turned his heart to stone and it's all pain He sits out on his own and eats his heart out alone in the pouring rain Now who in the world would have know That just a few years ago his love could have grown and grown Through the rain, the sleet and snow But the rain, the sleet and snow chills the heart and kills the soul So the let the cold winds blow What he doesn't see he doesn't know I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all I remember it still, i always will when we were friends way back thenI recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all He said, "watch out for the danger" He said, "watch out" The man is a winner for the first time in his life He looks a little thinner but he says "hey that doesn't matter" But if you look closely You'll see a cold smug self-satisfactory smile behind And now that he has won it doesn't matter how or which way it was done Now that he's in control, revenge is |

Tonight there's gonna be a breakout Into the city zones Don't you dare to try and stop us No one could for long Searchlight on my trail Tonight's the night all systems fail Hey you good lookin' female Come here! Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in the town Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak So don't you be around Tonight there's gonna be trouble I'm gonna find myself in Tonight there's gonna be trouble So woman stay with a friend |

The sacred heart is bleeding Go tell the Holy Ghost That the junkie is still cheating To get the thing he needs the most Lady Luck has me covered Keeping her watchful eyes over me The lovers are discovered The charge is first degree Angel, she's a killer Just flown in from the coast Makes the hit, it's a winner Leaves you dead as the post Sally took to playing poker The joker is her favorite card The drunk he can't stay sober He says it's much too hard Meantime something seedy Was happening across the hall Somebody seemed to be groaning You could hear it through the wall The cops they came like lightning The bullets flew astray The noise it was frightening The crook he got away |

Romeo and the lonely girl They seemed to hit it off Till Romeo told the lonely girl "I must take my leave, my love" It was these few words I overheard And thought, "I should move in" But before I could The lonely girl had fallen in love again Oh poor Romeo Sitting out on his own-ee-o Oh poor Romeo Romeo he had it rough The guy you'd like to burn But everything that Romeo had You can bet it was well earned For all his good looks There were scars that he took And there is a lesson To be learned Never judge a lover By a good looking cover Because the story Might be spurned Oh poor Romeo Sitting out on his own-ee-o Oh poor Romeo Romeo he like to put it around He was everybody's friend But in the end even Romeo found On no one could he depend For all his charms In someone else's arms Lonely girl Safely lay When the train pulled in It had to leave again And Romeo Pulled away Oh poor Romeo Sitting all on his own-ee-o Oh poor Romeo |

I am the warrior I serve the death machine Losers or conquerors All flash past on my silver screen Death is no easy answer For those who wish to know Ask those who have been before you What fate the future holds It ain't pretty... I am a messenger The message here, you must know I am the warrior I deliver the fatal blow So fate will have to wait Till time can heal the scar My heart is ruled by Venus And my head by Mars |

I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail a STARRY night,the CAMPFIRE light The coyote call, and the howling winds wail So I'll ride out to the old sundown I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female The nights we spent together riding on the RANGE Looking back it seems so strange Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo I was took in Texas I did not know her name Lord, all these southern girls seem the same Down below the border in a town in Mexico I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Running free with the buffalo Here I go Roll me over and I'll turn around And I'll move my fingers up and down Up and down It's ok amigos Just let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till i hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and set me free The cowboy's life is the life for me |

Down from the glen came the marching men with their shields and their swords To fight the fight they believed to be right overthrow the overlords To the towns where there was plenty they brought plunder, swords and flame When they left the town was empty and children would never play again from their graves I heard them falling above the battle cry By the bridge near the border there were many born to die Then onward, over the mountain and outward towards the sea They come to claim the Emerald without it they could not leave |

Johnny the Fox he called to Jimmy the Weed
He said "Hey man, I know your name" I seen you cruising with the low riders Hanging out down on First street and Main Tuned into and listen to the voodoo Rhythm Devils Around the Bay They've got some crazy DJs Send you right out to heaven Jimmy the Weed for greed was taken aback Johnny the Fox you old sly cat Cleverly the Fox concealed his stash Crisp dollar bills leave no tracks In the back of a black cadillac The voodoo music travels Down Skid Row only black men can go The shady deal unravels Johnny the Fox, hot to hustle Jimmy the Weed won't use no muscle that cat's so sly, slick and subtle Johnny the Fox breaks out the bottle Tuned into and listening to The voodoo music travels The beating drum for the lonely one Sends you out to heaven |
