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 and deliver or the devil he may take ya.
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 loved me, never would she leave me.
But the devil take that woman, yeah 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' money with me and I never knew the danger.
For about six or maybe seven, yeah in walks Captain Farrell.
I jumped up, fired 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' some men like the fowlin',
Some men like ta hear, ta hear the cannon ball a roarin'.
Me? I like sleepin' especially in my Molly's chamber.
But here I am in prison, here I am with 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 yeah.
Whiskey in the jar-o.
Musha ring dum a do dum a da,
Musha ring dum a do dum a da hey,
Musha ring dum a do dum a da,
Musha ring dum a do dum a da hey,

Out of sight, do it
The people rose and set off for the sun
At night they read their star signs
A people proud for they know their kingdom come
Their skin was tanned by moonshine
{Chorus}
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
I know now why they gone and it's all past
There come a European
His love was good but his lust, it lingered last
and stuck like a devil demon
{repeat chorus}
On lonely nights you can hear the distant call
and good hearts hear the rhythm
And now I know pride before a fall
on the road to freedom
{repeat chorus}
woh, woh, woh, woh, now
I'm an insider, baby [or "Human inside, baby"?]
So long, baby
Goodbye

She walked out of a shady motel
Into the arms of a sugar daddy
She'd been having a good time
Oh but she loved her daddy madly
She said daddy what can I do
I want to spend my time making love to you
But daddy had to run hit and run
Now he's gone
S&M;
This customer was shady he kept a rubber hose
He liked to beat the ladies
There's nothing wrong with that I suppose
";Yes there is,";
He made them want to shout, ";Ouch";
But this time you better watch out
He kicked her oh and he beat her
And he whipped her
S&M;
He beat her black and blueHe just liked the violence said it made him tough
He just liked the violence said she couldn't get enough
Couldn't get enough
Smack
S&M;
He beat her like a drum
This fetish could be foolish
It could lead to something dangerously wreckless
To hold your lover helpless
Could lead to something called a mess
Unless you like to be tacky
And kinky, sleasy and slinky
To make them wanna shout, ";Ouch";
Fight back and scratch out
S&M;
Do it again

If you want your freedom
There is nothing planned
If you really need him
I will understand
Please believe in love
I believe there is a God above for love
And He's coming, yes, He's coming
If you want to fly
Then fly away
All the cloudy skies
Belong to yesterday
Please believe in love
I believe there is a God above for love
And He's coming, yes, He's coming
In the shadows the swallow dies
No one knows the hobo hides
There is no need to apologize
This is the story of a downtown sundown
If you climb the mountain
Then you will see
There is no great distance
Between the Lord and me
Please believe in love
I believe there is a God above for love
And He's coming, yes, He's coming
And in the shadows the swallow dies
No one knows the hobo hides
There is no need to apologize

He's just a boy that his lost his way
He's a rebel that has fallen down
He's a fool been blown away
To you and me, he's a renegade
He's a clown that we put down
He's a man that doesn't fit
He's a king but not in this town
To you and me, he's a renegade
But he is a king when he's on his own
He's got a bike and that's his throne
And when he rides, he's like the wind
To you and me, he's a renegade
He's just a boy who has lost his sights
He's a stranger, prowls the night
He's a devil, that's right
To you and me, he's a renegade
Check it out, check his face
Look at his eyes, they're so sly
I wonder why he cries from the inside
I wonder why he's a renegade
Oh please, I'm on my begged bended knees
Oh please, please heed my call
He's just a boy that has lost his way

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

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

He made a big impression
When he walked across the room
And I must make my confession
I might have spoked too soon
He's a killer
Without a cause
The time is right
To settle scores
On the streets he lives again
Down the alley and round the bend
On the beat beneath the light
An angel comes to claim the light
From the streets
This rebel shall rise
His soul shall soar
Through the skies
The same old confrontation
At the bar in the saloon
But it's just another tricky situation
The underworld operation lies in ruins
He's a killer
Without a cause
The time is right
To settle scores

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
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 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 trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So woman 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
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

When they try to tell you knowledge is a dangerous thing
"It's such a dangerous thing"
The people that have it are the people that sin
And the people that need it are the people that can never win
"They can never win"
Let me get you out of here Little Broken Wing
There are people round here that are right
There are people round here that like to sleep at night
There are people round here that go slow
There are people round here that don't kindly to the killing of the buffalo
When they tear up all the treaties and break up all the plans
"They break up all the plans"
Did you do your duty and kill on command?
Did you know the redman used to roam this land?
"He used to roam this land"
Now the souls of lost warriors blow across the sands
People round here they get it right
People round here we like to sleep at night
There are people round here that go slow
People round here that don't take kindly to the killing of the buffalo, oh no
So listen to my story and listen to it well
"You better listen well"
Listen to the glory of the gory details of the tale I tell
Did you know the redman very well?
"I used to know him well"
Did you know the hunting ground before it became a hell?
There are people round here that are right
There are people round here that like to sleep at night
There are people round here I don't know
There are people round here that don't take kindly to the killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing
The killing of the
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing
The killing
So listen to my story of Genocide
How they were hunted and slaughtered till there was no place left to hide
Did you know the redman used to hold his head with pride?
Till every man, woman and child were destroyed
There are people round here that get it right
There are people round here that couldn't sleep at night
There are people round here I don't know
There are people round here that don't take kindly to the killing of the buffalo
There are people round here that understand
There are people round here that couldn't give a damn
There are people round here that go slow
There are people round here that don't take too kindly to the killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing
The killing of the
They're killing all the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing
They're killing all the
They're killing all the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing
The killing
The killing of the buffala-o

If you will adore me
Bow before me and praise my name
If you place no god before me
Then all I have is yours to claim
And if God is in the heavens
Why did God let children die
If you don't ask these questions
There is no reasons why
We are chosen
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
All the visions shown before you
All the kingdoms and the thrones
All are yours if you bow before me and adore me
All this you can own
There are those that will go to Heaven
There are those that will never win
No one knows what will happen
There are those that turn to sin
We are chosen
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
(Solo)
We are chosen
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
We are chosen
The devil is in hell with the demons
This is the Holy War
They lead us to our temptation
Lead us, take our souls
There is no evil in salvation
There is evil in us all
Just as Satan tempted Jesus
And Jesus slips and falls
He is a station on The Cross now
He is dying to save us all
We are chosen
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
We are chosen
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
We are chosen
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
We are chosen
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
If God is in Heaven, won't You save me now
Oh Lord forgive them for what they've done
Lost children of Babylon
Oh Allah oh no oh no (?)
This is the Holy War

Up jumped Jack on the railroad track
Said ";I've got to get out of town";
";It's been really nice knowing you";
";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 waitUp jumped John putting his trousers on
Saying ";I've got to get out of here";
";Hear your lover's footsteps";
";They're coming to 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

I am a 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
Just 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 heals the scar
See my heart is ruled by Venus

Well my father is a farmer
A damn good one at his trade
And he's always loved my mama
Though we laid her in the grave
I've been down, I've been down
A hustler and a cheat
I'll always love my father
His kind heart can't be beat
Oh...
I'd spit in your face if you laughed at me
Don't you know, don't you know
I might be a dipper, but I ain't a thief
Don't you know, don't you know
Oh yeah...
Come on...
Well my father is a farmer
Used to smack me on the ass
Used to dress me up in my Sunday best
Get down, get down to Sunday mass
And I've been down, so down
Don't you know, don't you know
I'll always love my father
I love him so

I could tell you the story of a vagabond
A playboy of the western world
One day by chance he came upon
A fair young maid, a country girl
He told her that he loved her
And he took all of her silver
He told her that he needed her too
He said "Hey baby, you got eyes of blue"
But he was a vagabond
Blue eyes, oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
The kind of eyes that say "I do" eyes
Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
He roamed around the cities
Searching for his fortune and fame
No lady ever got to know his name
Shame, but that was his game
Gave a girl a baby boy
He said "This child is my pride and joy"
"I'm busy running wild and free"
"Make sure he grows up like me"
And I'm a vagabond
Blue eyes, oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
The kind of eyes that say "I do" eyes
Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
Oh baby blue, oh blue eyes
Oh I could tell you a story of a vagabond
He was a playboy of the western world
He wore an earring in his left ear
You see his father he was a gypsy
You just might meet him upon the highway
Pretty fine dancer too
But he's leave you blue, he'd leave
He'd leave you woman

There is a demon among us
Whose soul belongs in hell
Sent here to redeem us
And he knows it all too well
He comes and goes, he comes and goes
And he knows it all too well
But when all is said and done
The sun goes down, the sun goes down
The sun goes down, the sun goes down
And she tries her best to leave him
But she is still captured by his spell
And she knows now she must deceive him
And he knows it all too well
She comes and goes, she comes and goes
And he knows it all too well
But when all is said and done
The sun goes down, the sun goes down
The sun goes down, the sun goes down
He comes and goes, he comes and goes
And he knows it all too well
Oh when all is said and done
The sun goes down, the sun goes down
The sun goes down
There is a demon within us
Whose soul belongs in hell
Won't someone save us [Incomprehensible]
And I know him too well
And I know him too well
I know him too well

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

Father and I waved goodbye
As we went to look
Uncle Peter was writing a book
And his mama was starting to cook and she's ageing
We had come in search of one
Who evades us all
Never heeds the call
If only someone could stall this ageing
So I'll go and hope and know
That my time is near
Laughing through the years
Having only fears of ageing

Now I'm not the type to worry
Especially if it's concerning my health
Oh no, I'd never worry
I'd much rather do something else
I'm changing my point of view
Ever since I caught me the sugar blues
Oh that sugar
It adds a little sweetness in your life
Oh sugar
Won't you add a little sweetness to my life
You see I'm changing my point of view
Ever since I caught me the sugar bluesSee I'm changing my point of view
Ever since I caught me the sugar blues
Yes, I'm changing my point of view
Ever since I got me the sugar blues
You see I'm changing my point of view
Ever since I caught me,
Ever since I caught me the sugar blues
Oh yes
I need me a sugar beet
I'm not the type that would complain
Just give me sugar cane
Give me
Gimme
Gimme
Gimme
Sugar

Think I'll just fall to pieces
If I don't find something else to do
This sadness never ceases
I'm still in love with you
My head, it keeps on reeling
It's got me in a crazy spin
Darling, darling, darling
Is this the end?
Still in love with you
They say time has a way of healing
Dries all the tears from your eyes
But darling it's this empty feeling
My heart can't disguise
After all that we've been through
I try my best but it's no use
I guess I'll keep on loving you
Is this the end?
Now that it's all over, woman
There's something I think you should know
Baby, baby, think it over
Just one more time before you go
Call on me baby
If there's anything I can do for you
Call on me baby
Help me see it through
I'm still in love with you

(Lynott)
Lonesome gambler
That woman will lead to heartbreaks
Take the word of one
Who played and lost in love
I played it cool
I dealt the heartaches
I broke rules
But that woman she cut me up
That woman's gonna break your heart
That woman's gonna tear your soul apart
That woman's gonna wreck your head
That woman's gonna leave you sad, so sad
If your life depends
On what you are losing
You're still refusing
To believe in fate or chance
You don't know now
But it's the wrong card you're using
That deck you're using
Is stacked against romance
That woman's gonna break your heart
That woman's gonna tear your soul apart
That woman's gonna wreck your head
That woman's gonna leave you sad, so sad

Lonesome gambler
That woman will lead to heartbreaks

That woman's gonna tear your soul apart

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

A soldier of fortune came home from war
And wondered what he was fighting for
This sad-eyed soldier, he broke down and cried
Oh he was so broke up inside
When will it end? When will it end?
The bells toll for those about to die
The battle?s over, the war is won
But this soldier of fortune, he will carry on
He will carry on when all hope is gone
He will carry on
He?s trained to kill and kill he will
As we march along
Singing just another soldier song
Just another soldier song
I am a soldier of fortune
Destined to keep on marching
I can hear the pipers calling
I am a soldier of fortune
Destined to keep on marching

Captain's hair
shone softly in the sun
Rode on his best mare
to Sarah
Schoolboy eyes
would stare in innocent fun
Never told no lies,
he loved Sarah
{Chorus}
Whispered by a bramble,
carried by a brook
to every fishers hook,
";Sarah";Fragrant fields
Playing croquet in the sun
Nothing appeals
like Sarah
{repeat chorus}

A strange kind of magic
Call it voodoo
You want the woman
Yes you do
Believe me baby
I know it's true
Come on sugar

Hey honey

They say that the night life
They say, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
I've been a gambler
I've been a thief
And most of my good friends
They don't hold with my belief
They say that the night life
They say it ain't no good life
Oh, but buy
You know that it's my life
And if you've had troubles
If you've felt them woes
I don't have to tell you
How this whole world is so low
Hey now baby
It can drive you crazy
Oh, but baby
Baby, the night life's for me
Just one more time
I'll hit the road
And I want to thank you
I want to thank the Lord
For that old night life
Some say, it ain't no good life
But baby, baby

One, two
One, two, three, four

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 behindHere 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

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 C£ Chulainn
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

Cocky Rocky, the rock and roll star
He's got the talent to take him far
Started out playing hotel bars
Cocky Rocky, the rock and roll star
Spent his time just looking for kicks
Whipping out them [Incomprehensible] guitar licks
He knows all the tricks to pull the chicks
Just have a chance, everyway he rips
Come on Rocky take me into the night
The neon streets are shining bright
To all them queens you bring the light
That Cocky Rocky, his belt is so tight
Hits the stage, the show begins
Dressed in black to make him thin
The speed they flash and when he grins
Sail away Rocky and [Incomprehensible]
Come on Rocky and throw the dice
You threw it once, now throw it twice
Heavy boys, they want a slice
They paid their money, they want a choice
Cocky Rocky, he's the rock and roll star
He's got the talent to take him far
And all he needs is that old guitar

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

There's a girl I'll remember
Oh for such a long, long time
This girl I'll remember
She was an old flame of mine
Beneath the stars just sipping wine
Young lovers then in summertime
I'll always remember
That old flame of mine
Love, she comes and gove
True love, she hides then shows
My love, may I propose
That love she comes and goesTwo hearts together two hearts alight
To keep us warm on winter nights
With each dying ember
I remember that old flame of mine
Once this flame it did brightly blaze
Among the ashes there still remains
A glowing spark in my heart
For that old flame of mine

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

Down and out in the city
Won't you give a boy a break?
Juvenile on trial before committee
Taken all he can take
(Taken all he can take)
But the king shall have his vengeance
Especially on the poor
Some say, "Preaching to convert him"
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 the heart
(With the beating of the 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 convert him"

Let me tell you the hard luck story
About a man named Jack McDuff
He believed in God and glory
But he just wasn't tough enough
I believe in the freedom song
Long live liberty!
I believe in the freedom song
I'll choose my own destiny
Well they took him and they beat him
Underneath the 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 liberty!
I believe in the freedom song
Doesn't matter what you do to me

I'm tough, rough, ready and able
To pick myself up from under this table
Don't stick no sign on me, I got no label
I'm a little sick, unsure, unsound and unstable
But I'm fighting my way back
I'm busting out and I'm going in
I'm kicking up about the state I'm in
Looking to my future, not my past
I want to be a good boy but how long can it lastFighting my way back
This kid is going to wreck and ruin
I'm not quite sure of what I'm doing
You see it happened all a little too soon
But it's all there in this here tune
Fighting my way back

You're living in a small town
The people there are cold
Just living in a small town
Just doing as you're told
You move up to the jungle
You find that it's a hell
When you slip, you fall, you stumble
They lock you in a cell
Hey you, you've got it made
Hey you, you've got it made
Hey you, you've got it made
Hey you, all your friends told you in your small town
Hey you, you've got it made
Just living in your home town
Sometimes it's kinda cruel
Living in your home town
Where they treat you like a fool
You move up to the city
You find that it's tough
And it doesn't seem very pretty
Now you're sleeping in the rough
Hey you, you've got it made
Hey you, you've got it made
Hey you
You've got it made
Hey you
You're heading for the big time
Hey you, you've got it made
You're headed for a life of crimeLiving in this jungle
It's like living in a hell
When you slip, you fall, you stumble
They lock you in a cell
You move out to the country
For something you have done
You're living in the country
Why don't you go back to where you come from?
Hey you, you've got it made
Hey you, you've got it made
Hey you, you've got it made
Hey you, you've got it made
Hey you, you've got it made
Forget all these backslappers
You don't stand a chance
Why don't you go home?
Go right back to where you come from
Don't get involved in this masquerade
This big city is going to eat you up
All the backslapping
Hey you, you've got it made

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

In the land of Eireann
Where sat the high king
Faced with the problems
The dreaded vikings
Gather all the men folk
Speaking the Celtic tongue
The land is Eireann
The land is young
Stands Red O'Donnell
Fighting the Saxon foe
With Hugh O'Neil
All along the north land
They fight bitterly
The land is eireann

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

Don't believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Don't believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you
Don't believe me if I tell you
That I wrote this song for you
There might be some other silly pretty girl
I'm singing it to
Don't believe a word
For words are only spoken
Your heart is like a promise
Made to be broken
Don't believe a word
Words can tell lies
And lies are no comfort
When there's tear in your eyes
Don't believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Don't believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you
Don't believe a word

When I passed you in the doorway
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
My father he's going crazy
Say's I'm living 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 the 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
But it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end

I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
A starry night, a campfire light
The coyote call, the howling winds wail
So I 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
Running free with the buffalo
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
Riding in the rodeo
Roll me over and set me free
The cowboy's life is the life for me

Pack up your bags
Leave family society
Oh come with me
Where they treat you well
At the door
Old Lou the Jew
Will welcome you
In the corner lies the hotel
At this refuge of mercy
Head of the table
King of laughter
Percy
And if you speak too much
In company
You'll soon be heard
By that Mynah bird and whiskey
At the top
You'll find another brother
Go ask my Mother

Living and dying in Chinatown
Yes they're living and dying down in old Chinatown
In Chinatown, you better look around
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Laughing and crying you know it's a fact
They're not laughing, they are crying 'cause they won't be back
Oh no you don't come back, not from Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Chinatown, it's a different scene
There are people there, well they are so obscene
If you see what I mean then they've sold you the dream
Down in Chinatown what goes up it must come down
Living and dying, there is no release
Living and dying, there is no relief
There is no beliefs not in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown

Betty was worried about the lover that she has married
And she didn't know what to do
He'd been hit by a hammer on the head and he lay dead
An' all her worst fears came true
Call the police

Johnny was a joker and a very heavy smoker
And he never ever broke the law

And sometimes very dizzy, we knew what for

And take 'em all away
Lock 'em up

Doin' all his dippin' from the door
He knew a shady dealer who had done a dirty DJ
The sooner he could settle the score

Call the police
And lock 'em up
Help ya, have a birthday, 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 banshee!
I hear you calling me, I hear you calling me

I've been mixed up, cut up
So sit down and shut up
'Cause I'm a hard man
I was hung up, strung out
But I can't take no more junk
Even if you can
It will beat ya, cheat ya
Deceit ya, defeat ya
No rocker, bopper
Show stealin' teeny bopper
Gonna get a thing from him
No fat, black
Back scratchin' pussy cat
Gonna get her claws on him
Well, they got a scheme to sell you kids
The silver screens and glossy magazines
And I'm a hard man
Better hold back, good times
Strung out, hung up
Strong out, picked on
Ripped off, kicked out
Spit on, set up, ripped off
Locked up, sent down
Maybe you're as hard as I am
No rocker, bopper
Show stealin' teeny bopper
Gonna get a thing from me
No fat, black
Back scratchin' pussy cat
Gonna get her claws on me

You got a bad reputation
That's the word out on the town
It gives a certain fascination
But it can only bring you down
You better turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down
Turn yourself around
You had bad breaks well that's tough luck
You play too hard too much rough stuff
You're too sly so cold
That bad reputation has made you old
Turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down

You got a bad reputation
That's the word out on the town
It gives a certain fascination
But it can only bring you down
You better turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down
Turn yourself around
You had bad breaks well that's tough luck
You play too hard too much rough stuff
You're too sly so cold
That bad reputation has made you old
Turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down
Turn yourself around

Oh no no
He tells her there is foolish there is wise
The young ones hold their heart up to the skies
And dance the night away
There is foolish, there is wise
There is anger in his tone
There is truth behind the lies
His heart has turned to stone
Wherever you may be, he loves her
Wherever you may stand
He loves her in this land
Baby please don't go
Don't hurt me so
Don't leave me now
Baby please don't go

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 to 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

The hero 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 tippie-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
Those that knew ya always said you'd go far
Are you the one who I think you are?
Oh, are you the hero?
Oh, are you the madman?
Oh, are you the hero?
Oh, are you the madman?
The madman climbed the steeple spire
"Go higher, go higher", said the crowd from down below
"But the world's on fire", said the madman from the steeple spire
"You're a liar, you're a liar", said the crowd from down below
So the madman climbed the steeple spire
And let a crystal ball tear fall on the crowd down below
If I recall, you're the actor who took to the stage
Set the world ablaze with your anger and your rage
And with every new leaf, you turned and wrote a new page
Cleverly concealing your real age
Those that knew you were always quite amazed
Are you the one that can take this praise?
Oh, are you the hero?
Oh, are you the madman?
Oh, are you the hero?
Oh, are you the madman?
"You're the only one that can save us", cried the wizard

The Boys Are Back in Town
by Thin Lizzy
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).
I said 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 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.
I mean she was steamin'.
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.
I said 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 boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
Spread the word around guess who's back in town
You spread the word around
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill,
Down at Dino'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 boys are back in town, (the boys are back in town).
Spread the word around
The boys are back in town, (the boys are back in town).
The boys are back, the boys are back.
The boys are back in town again
They're hangin' down at Dino's

If I was to stand in a General Election
Would you tell me about your close inspection
And how I never stood for detection
Or would you take another man?
If I told you I had the solution to starvation
All the nations could be their own salvation
And those that lead us, lead us not into temptation
Or they pick another man?
(Sweetheart)
It's affecting
(Sweetheart)
It's so effective
(Sweetheart)
Do you detect in me?
(Sweetheart)
Sacred sweetheart
If I told you about my plan would you believe me?
This is my body, my blood, would you receive me?
Or would you be the first to deceive me
And take another man?
If I told you that I'm not the man to worry
Would you believe me when I said I was really sorry?
Or would you rush off in a hurry
To take another man?
(Sweetheart)
Disconnect from me
(Sweetheart)
You've got no respect for me
(Sweetheart)
It's affecting me
(Sweetheart)
My sacred sweetheart
And when you're troubled and when you're ill
You know I'll help, I always will
And when you're troubled and really down
You know I'll always be around
And when you're troubled and really broke
There's hope, there's hope, there's hope
(Sweetheart)
It's affecting me
(Sweetheart)
You've got no respect for me
(Sweetheart)
It's so effective
(Sweetheart)
My sacred sweetheart
(Sweetheart)
Disconnect
(Sweetheart)
It's so effective
(Sweetheart)
It's affecting me
(Sweetheart)

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
Nobody knew the problem but my God
Suicide
Yeah Mama
The body remains unidentified
Forgotten in a file
Like the letter that was blown aside
Don't that make you wanna smile?
Ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya
Awhile
Smile a little while
For the suicide
Comin' up
No one was really satisfied
About number eighty one
The autopsy proved that Peter lied
But they never found the gun
No one saw the note beside the body
Nobody knew the problem but my God
Suicide
The paper called it suicide
A bullet from a forty-five
Nobody cared and nobody cried
Don't that make you wanna pucker?
{I'm Jones the one when you drive there
This is his solo miya

I should've known you couldn't take it
You had to make it with another man
You know that's true, baby
And I can play that game if you can
It's been a long time since I've come here
To give you what you need
My roots are in Chicago
But I know where I wanna plant my seed
I, I bet a silver dollar, you, you'd love another
And you know that silver dollar, it would make me rich
Girl like you, easy pitch
But I miss you now you're gone
I'm coming home, girl, just to show you
What this man's been living for
A tip for you, don't be surprised, baby
When I come busting through that door
It's been a long time since I've been here
To give you what you need
My roots are in Chicago
But I know where I wanna plant my seed
I, I bet a silver dollar, you, you'd love another
And even though that silver dollar would make me rich
I wanna tell you that there is a hitch
Miss you know you're gone
And all I got left is my old guitar
I, I bet a silver dollar, you, you'd love another
Even though that silver dollar would make me rich
I wanna tell you that there is a hitch

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
And play me the melodies so that I might know
And 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 wild
Ah sure, Brendan where have you been?
Looking for a girl with green eyes
My dark Rosaleen is my colleen
That Georgie knows best
But Van is the man
Starvation once again
Drinking whiskey in the jar, oh
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

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 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
And underneath the Latin moonlight
They danced and seen a falling star in flight
With the strum of guitars, she held him tight
She wants her Randolph back again
Meanwhile it's worthwhile for Randolph to wait
'Til 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 senoritas heart is in love
She's 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 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
Senorita dance cheek to cheek

In the dismal darkness
I have sat and gazed, amazed
At the blazing factories
Like a lonely man
Who stands on the seashore
And I am afraid
As weary as I be
I try, I seem
I see to looks, okay
Run, well run in your skin
Look what the wind just blew in
Many lovely ladies
I have felt, touched
And I was not afraid
I took them out dancing
Fool out romancing
And I was not afraid
Then somewhere from the North
This gale I knew just flew in
And I am afraid
Run, run, well run in your skin
Look what the wind just blew in
Run, well run in your skin
Look what the wind just blew in
Run, you got to run in your skin
Look what the wind just blew in
Look what the wind just blew in
You got to look what the wind just blew in
You got to look what the wind just blew in

At a point below zero
There is no place left to go
Six hundred unknown heroes
Killed like sleeping buffalo
Through the Devil's Canyon
Across a battlefield
Death has no companion
The spirits forced
There goes the Bandolero
Through the hole in the wall
He's a coward but he doesn't care though
He don't care at all
The General commanding
Defending what we feel
The troops, they are depending
On the reinforcements from the rear
If God is in Heaven
How can this happen here?
In God's name they use weapons
For the massacre
There's a point below zero
Where the sun can see the land
Six hundred unknown heroes

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 driftin' by
So sing your lullabying tune
And 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
Oh little girl in bloom
Little girl in bloom
She carries a secret
The child she carries in her womb
She feels something sacred
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

Little darling, gonna be a rock and roll star
Little darling, gonna play electric guitar
Little darling, I'd like to get to know you
Pleased to meet you, how do you do?
Little darling
Little darling
Little darling
Little darling
Little darling, gonna love you tonight
Little darling, gonna shake, shake, boogaloo
Little darling, can I rattle my bones and dance with you?
And later on there'll be some lovie dovin'
A little kissing
A little hugging
A little holding you
Little darling
Little darling
Little darling
Little darling
Little darling, gonna love you tonight
Little darling, what's your Mama Mama going to do?
Little darling, when she finds out I stayed out all night with you?
Little darling, I'm gonna miss kissing you
Little darling, I'm gonna miss missing you
Little darling
Little darling
Little darling
Little darling
Little darling
Little darling

He made a big impression
When he walked across the room
And I must make my confession
I might have spoked too soon
He's a killer
Without a cause
The time is right
To settle scores
On the streets he lives again
Down the alley and round the bend
On the beat beneath the light
An angel comes to claim the light
From the streets
This rebel shall rise
And his soul shall soar
Through the skies
The same old confrontation
At the bar in the saloon
But it's just another tricky situation
The underworld operation lies in ruins
He's a killer
Without a cause
The time is right
To settle scores
On the streets he lives again
Down the alley and round the bend
On the beat beneath the light
An angel comes to claim the light
From the streets
Of this rebel shall rise
And his soul shall soar

Somewhere on the waterfront
Johnny's hiding with a gun
Swears he'll kill any man that tells his story
He's not sorry for what he's done
He broke into a drugstore
Just to cure his daily need
Didn't mean to shoot the guard
But he was blinded by the greed
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
You see that nun, she's his sister
She doesn't know that he's gone bad
When they told it to his father
It drove the old man mad
Just like his mother warned him
From her dying bed
It's alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Now the cops have got him surrounded
And he doesn't stand a hope
He wonders how he could be in so much trouble
Over just a little dope
Five to one he gets away
That's the odds I'm going to give
Five to four they blast him away
Three to one he's going to live
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny, you better run
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Back in the alley where he was slain
Thought I heard something move
Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain
The picture had been removed
Just another [Incomprehensible]
Looking for a bed
It's alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny

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

I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up that stuff
I've got to give it up
I've got to give it up that stuff
Tell my mama and tell my pa
That their fine young son didn't get far
He made it to the end of a bottle
Sitting in a sleazy bar
He tried hard but his spirit broke
He tried until he nearly choked
In the end he lost his bottle
Drinking alcohol
Got to give it up
I got to give it up that stuff
Got to give it up
I got to give it up that stuff
Tell my brother, I tried to write and
Put pen to paper but I was frightened
I couldn't seem to get the words out right
Right, quite right
Tell my sister, I'm sinking slow
Now and then I powder my nose
In the end I lost my bottle
It smashed in a casbah
Got to give it up
I got to give it up that stuff
Got to give it up
I got to give it up that stuff
Got to give it up
I got to give it up that stuff
Got to give it up
I got to give it up that stuff
I've been messing with the heavy stuff
For a time I couldn't get enough
But I'm waking up and it's wearing off
Junk don't get you far
Tell my mama I'm coming home
In my youth I'm getting older
And I think it's lost control
Mama, I'm coming home
Got to give it up
Give it up
Got to give it up that stuff
Got to give it up
You know what I am talking about
Got to give it up that stuff
Got to give it up
Got to give it up that stuff
Got to give it up
Give it up

Dear Lord, this is a prayer, just let me know if you're really there
Dear Lord, come gain control, oh Lord, come save my soul
Give me dignity, restore my sanity, oh Lord, come rescue me
Dear Lord, my vanity, oh Lord, it's killin' me, it's killin' me
If you give your soul to Heaven and your soul begins to bleed
Remember all the sevens, don't turn up when you need
If you do believe in glory then please believe a fact
Give your soul to Heaven, you won't get it back
I'm down deep and I need your help
There's no one to turn to and I can't help myself
Dear Lord, hear this call, oh Lord, save my fall
I'm scared, I doubt, dear Lord help me out
I despair, my Lord, settle here
Dear Lord, take the time, I believed your story now you believe mine
Oh Lord, I'm on my knees, oh Lord, please, please beware
My Lord, oh care my Lord, give me dignity
Restore my sanity, my vanity is killin' me
If you give your soul to Heaven and your soul begins to bleed
Remember all the sevens, don't turn up when you need
If you do believe in glory then please believe a fact

Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo
Buffalo gal
You've had your fun
Your button's undone
And the time's right for slaughter
Buffalo gal
You're thirsty and there's no more water
Like the lamb on the altar
And it's sad to see you lookin' down and feelin' blue
Try your best to get on up and see it through
In a while you might smile and see the sun
The day has begun
And buffalo gal
They're closin' down the old dance hall
Hmm, buffalo gal
What we gonna do now?
Buffalo gal
Due to these circumstances
There's no more dances
Buffalo gal
All your chances of further romances
Will have to be nil
'til I can get it sung
Is a shame, your only claim to fame is Jessie James
You know his middle name that's very strange
Stranger, you knew a friend called the friendly ranger
Oh, you shared the danger
And buffalo gal
They're closin' down the old dance hall
Hmm, buffalo gal
What we gonna do now?
Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo
Buffalo gal
You gotta try a big step
You've gotta big jump ahead
Buffalo gal
The show left town
Spreading sunshine all around
And it's bad to see ya, ooh, lookin' blue
Dry your eyes and I'll apologies for all the lies
Try a smile and in a while, just in a while
You'll be smilin' through
Ooh, buffalo gal
They're closin' down the old dance hall
(Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo)
And buffalo gal
(Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo)
Oh, you look so good somehow
(Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo)
Oh buffalo gal
(Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo)
Oh, that's such a pretty dress
(Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo)
Buffalo gal
(Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo)
The show left town
(Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo)
Buffalo gal
(Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo)
Take a picture
(Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo)
Of buffalo gal

Have you ever had your dreams broken?
It really messes up your heart
You want to stop right there
And go right back to the start
You got to leave the town you're living in
Oh I'm leaving, I'm leaving on the next train, mm
My dreams have been broken
I don't think I'll ever be the same
It's a bad, bad feeling when all the things
That you've worked for just don't seem to turn out right
Well this happened to me last night
I woke up this morning and said, "I must be going"
You see my dreams have been broken
I don't think I have the strength to carry on
So I'll catch the next train
Southbound
I don't want no pity
Not from you or anyone
Oh, I don't want no pity
Not from you or anyone
It's just my dreams
Been broken
And I got to tell someone
Before I go crazy
I'll be leaving
I'll be leaving
On that next train going southbound
Yes, I'll be leaving on that next train
You see my dreams been broken
And I just can't
Take the pain
I've got to move on
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah
You see my dreams been broken
I ain't got no strength

I said, "baby, baby, baby"
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby

Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
B-b-baby
B-b-baby
Baby

Baby
Still in the crowd well you drive me crazy
Baby drive me crazy
Baby drive me crazy
Crazy about you baby
Baby drives me crazy
We're a little bit crazy
Aren't we baby?
Sugar with the sweet night
Sugar with the midnight
Sweet on you sugar
Love a little true love
Sweet on you honey
Take a look, hey!
I said, "baby, baby, baby"
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, b-b-baby

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

Wild one won't you please come home
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?
Oh, sure you are a wild one
Oh, you are a wild one
Over and over and over and over
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 at all, anything at all
To end this sorrow
My wild one
Oh, you are a wild one
Does Johnny go to [Incomprehensible]
Johnny go to [Incomprehensible]
There was no hope
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
Does Johnny go to [Incomprehensible]
Hey, you three [Incomprehensible]

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, listening 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, he was taken aback
Johnny the Fox, you old sly cat
Cleverly the Fox conceals his stash
Crisp dollar bills can 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, he won't use no muscle
That cat's so sly, slick and subtle
Johnny the Fox breaks out the bottle
Tuned into, listening to
The 'Voodoo Music Travels'
The beating drum for the lonely one

My baby don?t love me
My baby?s gone and made me sad
My baby don?t love me
My baby?s gone and made me sad
A hard hearted woman
A hard hearted woman true
My baby don?t love me
My baby don?t love me
Oh baby
Let the flags fly at half mast
Let this darkened hour drift past
Oh baby
You don?t know how much I?m missin' you
All my tears are falling
All my tears are falling
All slow blues is calling
Oh baby
You don?t know how much I?m missin' you
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby
Go tell this crazy world the true tale
Please let loose this lover?s ship to sail
Oh baby
You don?t know how much I?m missin' you
You don?t know how much I love you
Oh no no no no no no no
My baby don?t love me
My baby?s gone and made me sad
My baby don?t love me
My baby?s gone and made me sad
A hard hearted woman
A hard hearted woman true
My baby don?t love me

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
";Go higher"; said the crowd
From down below
";But...the world's on fire"; cried the madman
From the steeple spire
";You're a liar"; cried the crown
From down belowThe madman climbed the steeple spire
And let a crystal ball tear
Fall on the crown
From down below
If I recall you're the actor
Who took to the stage
Set the world ablaze
With your anger and your rage
With every new leaf
You turned and wrote a new page
Cleverly concealing
Your real age
Those that knew you
Were always quite amazed
Are you the one
Who can take this praise?
Are you the hero or are you the madman?
";You're the only one";
";who can save us";
Said the wizard
";Or all is lost";

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
Ooh, 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, by day, I hear their screams
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 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 pollution"
"Oh you're so filthy
Deep down you're dirty too

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
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

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

These words I wrote, play and sing for 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
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
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
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
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

Mama I'm dying of a heart attack, heart attack, heart attack
I love that girl but she don't love me back
My girl she tells me that we're breaking up, breaking up, breaking up
My heart can't handle the strain that's shaking it
She tried to tell me no so long ago
I would not listen but now I know
Papa I'm drinking for an overload, overload, overload
The gun in my pocket is all ready to explode
Papa I'm dying of an overdose, overdose, overdose
I tried to warn you don't come too close
I tried to tell you way back when we were young
I tried to warn you there was something wrong
Mama I'm dying
Oh Papa I'm dying, dying
Heart attack

Father and I waved goodbye
As we went to look
Uncle Peter was writing a book
And his mama was starting to cook
And she's aging
We had come in search of one
Who evades us all
Never heeds the call
If only someone could stall
This aging
So I'll go and hope and know
That my time is near
Laughing through the years
Having only fears

The friendly ranger paused
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 the 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 sunset 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

Well my father is a farmer
A damn good one at his trade
And he's always loved my mama
Though we laid her in the grave
I've been down, I've been down
A hustler and a cheat
I'll always love my father
His kind heart can't be beat
Oh...
I'd spit in your face if you laughed at me
Don't you know, don't you know
I might be a dipper, but I ain't a thief
Don't you know, don't you know
Oh yeah...
Come on...
Well my father is a farmer
Used to smack me on the ass
Used to dress me up in my Sunday best
Get down, get down to Sunday mass
And I've been down, so down
Don't you know, don't you know
I'll always love my father

I seen you walking down the street with another man
Girl you're really shocking
I seen you walking down the street with another hand
Held in your stockings
Boys will be boys and girls will be trouble
And I'm a man of bad habits
I seen you walking down the street with another man
Girl I had to have it
Bad habits
Bad habits
Bad habits
You and I we should meet
Yeah, you and I we should get together
Me and you and I should meet
In the rain and stormy weather
Bad habits
Bad habits
Bad habits
No messing around
Now's the time to start
Boys will be boys and girls will be trouble
And I'm a man of bad habits
I seen you walking down the street with another girl
Man I had to have it
I know it gets into your brain
Sometimes it dribbles and goes in your veins
I tell you this boys is the same
This boy's got bad habits
You and I should meet
You and I we should get together
You and I, you know we should meet
Hey babe, check it out the stormy weather
Bad habits
I got bad habits

Remember those golden days
We used to walk hand in hand
I was your friend, your fool, your lover
I was your man
I can see you then
Smiling, looking straight at me
You caught me unawares, I blushed
Let's sit beneath this tree
I can't get over the change in you
I can't get over the change in me
And I keep on remembering the old days
I keep on remembering the old ways
I can recall you running to a sweet shop
You stopped
Bought me something
And you handed it to me
You were my girlfriend then
The first that I ever had
The first that I ever kissed
And the first to make me sad
I can't get over the change in you
I can't get over the change in meI keep on remembering the old days
I keep on remembering the old ways
Oh yeah
I keep on remembering
I keep on remembering
Oh yeah
I keep on remembering the old days
I keep on remembering
Your pretty dress
With the zip up the back
I used to love you like that
I used to love you like that
Oh yeah
I keep on remembering
I keep on remembering all about you

Out of sight, do it
The people rose and set off for the sun
At night they read their star signs
A people proud for they know their kingdom come
Their skin was tanned by moonshine
{Chorus}
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
I know now why they gone and it's all past
There come a European
His love was good but his lust, it lingered last
and stuck like a devil demon
{repeat chorus}On lonely nights you can hear the distant call
and good hearts hear the rhythm
And now I know pride before a fall
on the road to freedom
{repeat chorus}
woh, woh, woh, woh, now
I'm an insider, baby [or ";Human inside, baby";?]
So long, baby
Goodbye

Up till now I used to pass my time
Drinking beer so slowly, sometimes wine
No God, air, water or sunshine
And honesty was my only excuse
I took your love and I used it
Up till now my youthful stage
Was a useless rage, a torn out page, a worn out gauge
A dirty shade, a big charade, a has been made
And honesty was my only excuse
I took your love and I used it
Up till now my love life
A few sweet kisses, a little missy, a fork and knife
A happy home, a hand to hold, a land to roam
And honesty was my only excuse
I used to take life by the hand and I abused it
Up till now I used to tap dance
Take a girl by the hand
Saying I need your, I need your romance
Oh, I had me some chances
And honesty was my only excuse
I used to take your love and I abused it
Up till now the path of life
Was fair enough
Enough was fair, all was right
But now I know, I see the light

I worked for the union and on my very first communion, you know,
It never ever, ever, ever worked out right
So I spent the night sleepin' on the railway
I worked for the foundry and man my mind it nearly drowned
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
It never, it could never work out right
So I said "so long, amigo. good night" and slept on the railway
The railway, there's no better way, ooh the railway
And it's nice to talk to you today
I worked for the miller, a very, very nice type of fell-a {fellow}
But I could see that it was never gonna work out right
So I split and spent the night sleeping on the railway
I worked in the subway arc, oh yeah, yeah
You know it never, no no never, no never no, ever no, worked out right
So I said "so long" and spent the night on the railway
The railway, give me a bottle of whiskey, ooh the railway
Ooh, there's nothin' like the railway
And I'd like to thank someone for mascara and good things that I done
And for the time ya spent and the friendship begun
And most of all starry nights on the railway
Ooh, I don't know no better way
Than just, ooh, lyin' back an' drifting away

They say people out in Hollywood
Live their life out in black and white
They're living out a technicolor dream
Next day they're a star overnight
Not like living in New York
Man, it's tougher
Not like in London town
Boy, you suffer
Nobody give a break
When you're down on your luck
Everybody's on the take
When you're down on your luck
You can't make a mistake
When you're down on your luck
People out in Hollywood
They got a lot of class
You see the boys strutting down the boulevard
Trying to make a pass
Not like in New York
It's high rise, it's concrete and complex
Not like in London town
It reigns down on its subjects
Nobody give a damn
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you're down on your luck
Lady Chance, she won't dance
When you're down on your luckPeople out in Hollywood
They can make it to the stars
They can reach the screen
Drive around in big expensive convertible cars
Not like in New York
All you've got is Broadway
Not like in the west end of London
You can't make it no way
Nobody give a damn
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you're down on your luck
You've got to strut your stuff
When you're down on your luck
You can't take it easy, it ain't good enough
When you're down on your luck
Everybody's on the make
When you're down on your luck
Nobody give a fair deal
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands my Uncle Sam
When you're down on your luck
I'm ready for the dance
When you're down on your luck
I gotta make a dollar holler
When you're down on your luck

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

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

Brothers here I stand
Spread my wings and take command
The sky he justly planned
The boy become a man
After all this time
I tell myself that I'm
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I'm not that way inclined
Brothers if you hear
Raise your flags and make it clear
There is more to fear
If we wait for another year
After all this time
I tell-a [repeat] myself that I'm
Just passing through time
After all this time
I tell myself that I'm
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I'm not that way inclined
Brothers fight or fall
It's man for man and one for all
No more can we crawl
Brothers, brothers hear the callAfter all this time
I tell myself that I'm
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I'm not that way inclined
Brother brother
Brother brother
Brother fight or fall
It's man for man and one for all
Brother brother
Brother brother
What you want?
We gotta fight for one another!

Pity the fool
It's hard but he broke a rule
And that isn't done
Somehow, someday, Brother will use a gun
Just walking the town
Just painting it sad
It's bringing me down
It's driving me mad
Woman is away from me
We will be strong, We will be strong
I know we have the strength to carry on
We have the strength
I know my rights from wrong
I know you've lost I've won
We will be stronger
We will be strong
And getting stronger every day
Believe me when I say it
There is no other way to convey it
No other way you clown
Your thoughtfulness has brought us down
And that isn't right
That we should walk alone on the streets at night
Just checking the time
Walking that very fine line
The humour is black
The plan is attack
Now woman is away from me
But we will be strong
We will be strong, We will be strong
I know we have the strength to carry on
We have the strength
I know my rights from wrong
I know you've lost I've won
We will be stronger
We will be strong
And getting stronger every day
Believe me when I say it
There is no other way to convey itDown on your luck
The shock it has struck
The weak ones will die
The questions are why? why?
Does anybody hear?
Does anybody understand?
Let me make it clear
Now's the time to take a stand
Now woman is away from me
But we will make it strong
We will be strong, We will be strong
I know we have the strength to carry on
We have the strength
I know my rights from wrong
I know you've lost I've won
We will be stronger
We will be strong
And getting stronger every day
Believe me when I say it
There is no other way to convey it
We will be strong
We will
We will be strong
We will be
We will be strong
We will
We will be strong
We
We will
We
We will be
We
We will
We will be strong
We will be strong
