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. |

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 |

There is a demon among us Who soul belongs in hell Sent here to redeem us She knows it all too 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 capture 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 There is a demon within us The sun goes down She tries her best to deceive him The sun goes down |

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 |

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!

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 |

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 |

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?

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 |

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 |

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. |

The paper called it suicide A bullet from a forty-five Nobody cared and nobody cried Don't that make you feel sad? 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 |

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'm a rocker! I'm a roller too, baby I'm a rocker! 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 |

There are people that will investigate you They'll insinuate, intimidate and complicate you Don't ever wait or hesitate to state the fate that awaits those who Try to shake or take you Don't let them break you You can do anything you want to do It's not wrong what I sing it's true You can do anything you want to do Do what you want to People that despise you will analyse then criticise you They'll scandalise and tell lies until they realize You are someone they should have apologised to Don't let these people compromise you Be wise too You can do anything you want to do It's not wrong what I sing it's true You can do anything you want to do Do what you want to Hey you you're not their puppet on a string You can do everything It's true if you really want to You can do anything you want Just like I do You can do anything you want to do It's not wrong when I sing it's true You can do anything you want to do Do what you want Hey you No can do Hey you Yes you Elvis is dead The king of Rock'n Roll is dead Elvis is dead |

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 |

Valentino's got a booky shop and what he takes He gives for what he's got And what he's got he says he has not Stolen from anyone It's not that he don't tell the truth Or even that he misspent his youth It's just that he holds the proof But you feel there's something's wrong Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Valentino's in a cold sweat, placed all his money on that last bet Against the odds he smokes another cigarette Says that it helps him to forgetThat he's a nervous wreck It's not that he misses much Or even that he's lost his lucky touch It's just that he gambles so much And you know that it's wrong Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Waiting just to catch your eye Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Try to say i told you i told you Waiting for an alibi Waiting just to get you Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi To say i told you Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi |

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 |
