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 banshee! I hear you calling me, I hear you calling me |

Dear heart
I wish you could see that Dear heart You mean the world to me Man with the broken heart filled with lead Suffered and he fought for what he believed The fighting is over now, the man is dead A martyr for the cause Man with the golden arm, his face gone pale Taken too much junk, he's gone over the rale Breathes out a sigh and his body wails He's gonna land in trouble, land in jail He'd give his life, give his everything To reach that goal and take that last and final fling But I guess it's just another story In the greatest story ever told Dear heart I wish that you could see that Dear heart You mean the world to me |

You don't believe in love
You don't believe in hatred Put your money in the bank It's the only way to save it You try to make a buck But you haven't made a penny You need a little luck But you know you won't get any You don't believe in God You don't believe in glory You've got a brother in the clinic Tells the same kind of story If he had another life He'd know what would be waiting If he had another soul He could sell it all to Satan You don't believe in war You don't believe in Jesus Got a sister in New York She knows how she pleases Walking the streets On the south side of the city Trying to make ends meet Isn't that a pity...for money |

I've been a wild wild rover
Sailed all over the sea But this thing that makes me wonder Has made a fool of me For it took me from my childhood Underneath the stars and skies And I still hear the wind Whistling through the wild wood, whispering goodbye It's home boys home She's home boys home No matter Where I roam If you see my mother Please give her all of my love For she has a heart of gold there As good as God above If you see my mother Tell her I'm keeping fine Tell her that I love her And I'll try and write sometime |

Saying, "I've got to get out of town It's been really nice knowing you I hope to see you around" Oh the boy he could boogie Oh the boy can kick a ball But the boy he got hung up Smooching in the stalls You've got to give a little love To those who love to live You've got to take a little hate From those who have to wait Up jumped John putting his trousers on Saying, "I've got to get out of here Hear your lover's footsteps They're coming too near for me, my dear" Oh the boy he could boogie Oh the boy can kick a ball But the boy he got hung up Making love against the wall You've got to give a little love To those who love to live You've got to take a little hate From those who have to wait Got to give a little bit of love |

Listen while I tell you the hard luck story
About a man named Jack McDuff He believed in the God and the glory But he just wasn't tough enough I believe in the freedom song Long live liberty I believe in the freedom song But I'll choose my own destiny Well, they took him and they beat him Underneath that old hanging tree Saying, Jack, you must die What will your last words be? Jack, he hung his head back Long live liberty I believe in the freedom song Doesn't matter what you do to me With a rope around his neck they left him hanging High on that old hanging tree On her knees his wife was screaming Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy I believe in the freedom song Long live-a the liberty I believe in that freedom song Doesn't matter what you do to me |

Won't you give a boy a break Juvenile on trial before committee Taken all he can take But the king shall have his vengeance Especially on the poor Some say preaching to converted Me, I'm not too sure Spring she comes and spring she teases Brings summer winds and summer breezes Blow through your hair till autumn leaves us When autumn leaves us, oh how winter freezes And the child is still breathing With the beating of a heart Some say we are equal Some a million miles apart Oh my god Oh my god But the king shall have his vengeance While the Queen she represents the innocent And the child so dependent But the seasons conquer all Spring she comes and spring she teases Brings summer winds and summer breezes Blow through your hair till autumn leaves us When autumn leaves, oh how winter freezes, oh how winter freezes But the king shall have his vengeance Especially on the poor Some say preaching to converted Me, I'm not so sure |

There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can say May the angels be watching over you When your spirit slips away When the darkness starts to fall You're on your own and your back's against the wall May the angels bring their flame to you When the darkness it starts to fall And when the music that makes you blue Unfolds its secrets, the mysteries are told to you May the angels sing rejoice to you That fateful day when your spirit slips away |

Peter Brent combed his hair And sent for the police Policeman came, took Peter's name God, may he rest in peace No one saw the note beside the body No one knew the problems But my God Suicide The body remains unidentified Forgotten in a file Like the letter that was blown aside Don't that make you want to smile? No one was really satisfied About number eighty-one The autopsy proved that Peter lied But they never could find the gun No one saw the note beside the body No one knew the problems But my God Suicide |

You've been away too long, will you We need you home, we need you near Come back wild one will you How can we live without your love You know that could kill you How can we carry on When you are gone my wild one So you go your way wild one I'll try and follow And if you change your mind I will be waiting here for you tomorrow For I would beg for you I would steal and I would borrow I'd do anything, anything at all To end this sorrow Wild one The gypsies warned of the danger You can laugh and joke with friends But don't you ever talk to strangers Although their offers may be sweet And I'd bet and I would wager Away you'll stray and never come back To those who love and made you |

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 |

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 |

Somewhere in this town See me and the boys we don't like it So were getting up and going down Hiding low looking right to left If you see us coming I think it's best To move away do you hear what I say From under my breath Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in the town Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak So don't you be around Don't you be around Tonight there's gonna be trouble Some of us won't survive See the boys and me we mean business Bustin' out dead or alive I can hear the hound dogs on my trail All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail Like the game if you lose Go to jail 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 you stay with a friend You know it's safer Breakout! 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 I can see the 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 you stay with a friend |

There is a demon among us whose soul belongs in hell
Sent here to redeem us, she knows it all to well He comes and goes, he comes and goes, she knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down She tries her best to leave him, but she is still captured by his spell She knows now she must deceive him, he knows it all to well She comes and goes, she comes and goes, he knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down She comes and goes, she comes and goes, he knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down There is a demon within us The sun goes down She tries her best to deceive him The sun goes 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. |

Locked up in the classroom waiting for the fight
Down to the schoolyard knocking the gate Into the alley meet up with the boys Waiting for the weekend to make a little noise Thunder is strong, lightning is death Kicking the girls and it's starting to blast Sweeter than the heavens and the fate means stumble But it's Saturday night when heavy rock was born Chorus: Like thunder and lightning god damn, it's so exciting It hits you like a hammer god damn It was Saturday night I was ready for the dance My girl walked in holding another guys hand He stood six foot six he looked two miles wide I was taking it easy till he took her outside I was madder than hell and fit to burn This guy would break a leg before but now he's got to run Standing in the corner giving him a thrill You can keep your lover honey, but he's got to pay the bill Well the place started rocking it was Saturday night I was dressed to kill I was feeling alright Alright in the middle of the night I wasn't ready for a rumble but the mood was right When he got up to leave I stood in his way I said love that's the price you have to pay In the doorway up against the wall When they play a heavy record then I'm gonna have a ball We started to rumble and stumble It is we were rocking and rolling and rolling and tumbling I fumbled and started to win When the greater than wicked then I hit him again I hit him again and I couldn't hit him anymore My head was all black and blue and my jaw was sore Sweeter than the heavens and like a frightening stumble It was Saturday night when heavy rock was born |

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 didn't 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 Riding with this buffalo Here I go (Instrumental) Oh, won't you clap your hands with me Just rodeo And I'll move my fingers up and down Up and down It's ok amigos Just let me go We'll be riding here with 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 |

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 |

At a point below zero There's no place left to go Six hundred unknown heroes Were killed like sleeping buffalo Through the devil's canyon Across the battlefield Death has no companion The spirit is forced to yield There goes the bandolero Through the hole in the wall He's a coward but doesn't care though In fact, he doesn't care at all The general that's commanding He's defending what he fears While the troops they are depending On reinforcements from the rear If God is in the heavens How can this happen here? In His name, they used the weapons For the massacre There is a point below zero Where the sun can see the land Six hundred unknown heroes Lay dead in the sand |

Peter Brent combed his hair And sent for the police Policeman came, took Peter's name God, may he rest in peace No one saw the note beside the body No one knew the problems But my God Suicide The body remains unidentified Forgotten in a file Like the letter that was blown aside Don't that make you want to smile?

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'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna gonna The writing on the wall showed the scandal Pointed out the victim of the vandal The lady was upset by the angle Scratch your back and hot to handle I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna gonna You're sly, you're slick, you're sleek, you're outstanding My legs are week, my heart, it beats, it's pounding Soon you're gonna weep in your sleepless surrounding `Cause I'm the one taking you down for grounding I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna creep up on you I'm gonna gonna Little lady let me take a little bit of your love |

Little girl in bloom With happy heart you wipe aside Any sadness, sorrow or gloom Tomorrow you'll be a blushing bride That loves her blushing groom Little girl in bloom You watch the men play cricket From the window in your room See the ball go from bat to wicket Pass away the afternoon Little girl in bloom Carries a secret The child she carries in her womb She feels something sacred She's gonna be a mammy soon When your daddy comes home Don't tell him till alone When your daddy comes back Go tell him the facts Just relax and see how he's gonna react Little girl in bloom All the clouds will go drifting by So sing your lullabying tune Every word is in your eyes As you sit and softly croon Little girl in bloom Your love it fills the air With the scent of the sweetest, sweet perfume You feel so good you just don't care You're gonna be a mammy soon When your daddy comes home Don't tell him till alone When your daddy comes back Go tell him the facts Just relax and see how he's gonna react |

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 senorita took off her bobby socks She said she's gonna wear a skirt that shocks She's pulling out all the stops To get her Randolph back again Meanwhile Randolph, he's back at the ranch He's getting ready for tonight's song and dance He's doesn't know he doesn't stand a chance His last affair will be his last romance The senorita will be there waiting Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me Underneath the Latin moonlight The danced and seen a falling star in flight To the strum of guitars she held him tight She wants her Randolph back again Meanwhile it's worthwhile for Randolph to wait 'Till he gets the nerve then he won't hesitate He doesn't know but he's just bit the bait He just asked if he could make a date The senorita will be there waiting Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me The senorita's heart is in love She wearing white tonight, looks as pure as a dove She's thanking God and all the heavenly stars above Randolph's romance is back again Meanwhile Randolph smiles and says he'll give her ten She doesn't come so he just counts again And he's been there since he does not know when He's thinks she's stood him up but in the end The senorita won't keep him waiting Don't go my Randolph slow tango with me ooh la-la... Senorita dance cheek to cheek ooh la-la... We will dance off into the sky |

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 |

I am your main man if you're looking for trouble I'll take no lip 'cause no ones tougher than me If I kicked your face you'd soon be seeing double Hey little girl, keep your hands off me 'cause I'm a rocker I love to rock and roll I get my records from the Rock On stall Sweet rock and roll Teddy boy, he's got them all Down at the juke joint me and the boys were stompin' Bippin' an a boppin', telling a dirty joke or two In walked this chick and I knew she was up to something I kissed her right there out of the blue I said "Hey baby, meet me I'm a tough guy" Got my cycle outside, you wanna try? She just looked at me and rolled them big eyes And said "Ooh I'd do anything for you 'cause you're a rocker" That's right I'm a rocker I love to rock and roll I get my records from the Rock On stall Sweet rock and roll Teddy boy, he's got them all |

As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains.
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'. I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier. I said stand o'er and deliver or the devil he may take ya. Musha ring dum a do dum a da. Whack for my daddy-o, Whack for my daddy-o. There's whiskey in the jar-o. I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny. I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly. She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me. But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy. Musha ring dum a do dum a da. Whack for my daddy-o, Whack for my daddy-o. There's whiskey in the jar-o. Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber. Takin' my money with me and I never knew the danger. For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell. I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels. Musha ring dum a do dum a da. Whack for my daddy-o, Whack for my daddy-o. There's whiskey in the jar-o. Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin', And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'. Me? I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber. But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah. Musha ring dum a do dum a da. Whack for my daddy-o, Whack for my daddy-o. There's whiskey in the jar-o. And I got drunk on whiskey-o And I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love my Molly-o. |

I put my money in a suitcase
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 |
