Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy in his last TV interview, three weeks before his death. It's not complete though.
Phil Lynott grew up in Dublin in the 1960s and fronted several bands as a lead vocalist such as Skid Row alongside Gary Moore, before learning the bass guitar and forming Thin Lizzy in 1969. After initial success with "Whiskey in the Jar", the band found strong commercial success in the mid-1970s with hits such as "The Boys Are Back in Town", "Jailbreak" and "Waiting for an Alibi", and became a popular live attraction due to the combination of Lynott's vocal and songwriting skills and the use of dual lead guitars. Towards the end of the 1970s, Lynott also embarked upon a solo career, published two books of poetry, and after Thin Lizzy disbanded, he assembled and fronted the band Grand Slam, of which he was the leader until it folded in 1985.

Oh, won't you send a letter home?
To say I'm living on my own, girls
I need someone to love
I need someone, girls
It's true
I've been telling you all these lies
And I can't understand it
Why I've been telling thee all these lies?
If you know it's a fact
Then you know I want you back, girls
I need someone it's true, I need you, girls
It's true for me there's you, girls
Got class, I need her fast, girls
She's been telling me all these lies
And I can't understand it
She's been telling me all these lies
That girl don't love me no more, oh girl
I had to write this letter
To tell you how I came to meet him
He was sweet and I loved him
Now each time we meet
I can't seem to forget him
I feel so depressed
Lost love of romeo
Casanova has finally lost out on love
I'm jealous of his past
Oh, won't you send a letter home
To say I'm living on my own, girls?
I need someone to love
I need someone, girls
With class, that's fast
Don't move slow, girls
Oh no, not alone, oh no, girls
For me
I've been telling you all these lies
And I can't understand it
I've been telling you all these lies
I must have been crazy, girl, oh girl
My dream any sadness, sorrow or gloom
Your laugh that fills the air
With the scent of the sweetest perfume
You feel so good, you just don't care
I lay awake night crying
Because my dream may not come true
You see I love you
Please this is my one and only dream
Girls, girls
Who's fast, she's got class, she loves last
Girls, she's not slow, she won't go
She won't leave you, alone
