A Night In The Life Of A Blues Singer (Lynott)

In the old days
I could sing the blues
I had nothin' to live for
And nothin' to lose
And all the time
I was paying my dues
Like an old blues singer

And I had no troubles then
But I had lots of friends
Friends they come and go
And sometimes friendship ends
All the time, I've had a friend on whom I depend
So blues singer
Oh...

Oh mama, mama, mama, this is your boy
Oh mama, mama, mama, mama, my soul's been destroyed
Oh mama, mama, your pride and joy
Is a blues singer
An old blues singer

And the party's over now
Everybody's goin' home
The band is packin' up
And I'm on my own
Oh, but I miss you now you're gone
Mama, your boy's a blues singer
Such an old blues singer

Nothin, oh but nothin's changed
Oh sometimes you win sometimes you lose
I lost ya mama
I lost ya mama

In the old days
I could sing the blues
Had nothin' to live for
And nothin' to lose
But all the time
You must chose
I'm an old blues singer
Oh...

Angel From The Coast (Lynott, Robertson)

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

ANGEL OFDEATH (Lynott, Wharton)

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!

Bad Habits (Gorham, Lynott)

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
I got bad habits

Roisin Dubh (Black Rose) : A Rock Legend (Lynott)

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 Cu 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

Borderline (Lynott, Robertson)

Midnight in the big city
At the bar drinking all on my own
Just thinking about that girl and me
How something's going wrong

Mister, tell me, what's my saving grace?
The back room boys
Were all telling me
I'm a borderline case

Back on the borderline one more time

Seven beers and still sober
It's time to change to something stronger
I cannot take this scene no longer
She could have told me it's all over

Back in my home town
The old place is still the same
But time can cast a spell over something
You can't go back again

Back on the borderline one more time

Mister, fill me another
Till I go crazy and it turn my mind around
Just pass that bottle one more time
And slowly drink it down

Jeanie can I tell you?
The shame of my disgrace
It's just love or rejection
For this borderline case

Back on the borderline one more time

I'm on my bended knees crawling
I'm begging you darling

The Boys Are Back In Town (Lynott)

Guess who just got back today?
Those wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think those cats are great

They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
I told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy

The boys are back in town

You know the chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming

That night over at Johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
It won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

The boys are back in town

Cowboy Song (Lynott, Downey)

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

Dedication

This is dedicated to the woman I love
Wherever she stands - my dedication
This is dedicated to the millions
That are starving from hunger - in dedication

Dedication
Dedication
I dedicate it, dedicate it
Dedication

This is dedicated to the front lines that are dying
For dedication
This is dedicated to my child of mine wherever she stands
I give her dedication

Dedication
Dedication
I dedicate it, dedicate it
Dedication

This is dedicated for the children
That are starving, at your hands
I dedicate this to the millions
I dedicate it to you

Oh yeah
A dedication
Oh yeah
Oh ye---ah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Dedicated

This is dedicated to the woman I love
(I dedicate this song, to the woman I love)
Wherever she stands, I give her dedication
(Wherever she stands)
This is dedicated, to the millions, that are starving - in dedication
(There are millions, they are starving from hunger, oh...)

Dedication (I dedicate it)
Dedication (this song is for you)
I dedicate it (dedicate it), dedicate it (dedicate it)
Dedication (dedication)

Dedication (to the woman I love)
Dedication (to the child I knew)
I dedicate it (dedicate it), dedicate it (dedicate it)
Dedication (dedication)

Dedication (I dedicate it)

Didn't I (Lynott)

Well I thought I could make you cry
Oh didn't I?
I didn't think that I would miss you
Ah did you, did you true?
And I told you before
When you walked out that door
That I wouldn't love you any more
I cannot cope any more

Well I thought you'd never lie
Why didn't I?
I didn't think that you'd be untrue
Well did you, did you too?
And I've told you before
When you'd walk out that door
That I would no cope any more
I do not have you any more

I thought I could make you cry
And I tried now didn't I?
I didn't think that I would miss you
But it wasn't true, I do
And I told you before
A million times or more
That when you'd walk out that door
I would no love you any more
I do not love you any more

I lied now didn't I?
Oh didn't I?

There are people in this town
That say I don't give a damn
But the people in this town
They never could understand
Oh they never could understand

I thought I could make you cry
And I tried, now didn't I? Didn't I try, didn't I?
I didn't think that I would miss you
But it wasn't true, I do, I do
And I told you before
That you'd open up my sores
And you'd leave me here with scars
I cannot take it any more
Oh don't hurt me no more

I cried and I cried, now didn't I?
Why didn't I try? Why didn't I?

Don't Believe A Word (Lynott)

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

Get Out of Here (Lynott, Midge Ure)

Pack up, I've had enough, that's it, I quit
Give up, you win, I lose, you win
You choose, you stay
I'll go, you stay, I lose

I used to be a dreamer
But I realize that it's not my style at all
In fact it becomes clearer that a dreamer
Doesn't stand a chance at all

Get out of here
Get out of here
Get out
Do I make myself clear

No way, I must go, can't stay, must run
No chance, I can't give a second chance
No hope, there's no hope for you now
No romance, no more romance

No how, no how could we stay together
No need, I have no need for you now
No fear, no fear of you no more

Get out of here
Get out of here
Do I make myself clear

Pack up, give in, go home, get out

I used to be a dreamer
But I realized that it's not my style at all
In fact it becomes clearer that a dreamer
Doesn't stand a chance at all

And I've become bitter
For I believe that this is better
No matter, whatever, whenever
We can never ever stay together

Get out of here
Go

Do I make myself plain
I don't want to ever see you again
Get out of here

Pack up, give in, get out of here
Rev up, go away, get out of here
Give in, go home, right away, get to
Pack up, give in, give up, rev up
Go away ... out

Got To Give It Up (Gorham, Lynott)

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

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 brother I tried to write and
Put pen to paper but I was frightened
I couldn't seem to get the words out right
Write quite right

Tell my sister I'm sinking slow
Now and again I powder my nose
In the end I lost my bottle
It smashed in the Casbah

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

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 take 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

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

HOLY WAR (Lynott)

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

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

Jailbreak (Lynott)

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

No One Told Him (Lynott)

Hey listen closely
Listen while I tell you
Why he loves you
And what he misses mostly

It's pointless his pretending
He's got a broken heart
A broken heart
That needs mending

You didn't tell him
You didn't want to see him again

He's going crazy
He's reckless
Without you baby
He's helpless

It's deadly how you broke him
He's a fool
Without you baby
I'm not joking

You didn't tell him
You didn't want to see him again

Now when I'm down
My friends they come around
And when I'm upset
My friends they help me forget

But how can he forget?
He hasn't got a friend
'Cos no one told him
You didn't want to see him again

He's all washed up and washed out
Without you baby
Every place he goes
He's thrown out

He's turned vicious
He's malicious
Just goes to show how much he misses
You know what

He wouldn't tell me
You didn't want to see him again
You didn't tell him
You didn't want to see him again
I couldn't tell him
You didn't want to see him again
I didn't tell him
You didn't want to see him again

Old Town (Bain, Lynott)

Old Town
The girl's a fool
She broke the rule
She hurt him hard
This time you will break down
She's lost his trust
And so she must
Now all is lost
The system has broke down
Romance has broke down

This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down

She plays it hard
She plays it tough
But that's enough
The love is over
She's broke his heart and that is rough
But in the end you'll soon recover
The romance is over

This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down

I've been spending my money
In the old town
It's not the same honey
With you not around
I've been spending my time
In the old town
I sure miss you honey
Now you're not around
You're not around
This old town

This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down

OUT IN THE FIELDS (Gary Moore)

It doesn't matter
If you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference
If you're black or if you're white

All men are equal
Till the victory is won
No colour or religion
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun
Out in the fields

The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

It doesn't matter
If you're left or to the right
Don't try to hide behind the cause
They want to fight

There'll be no prisoners taken
When the day is done
No flag, no uniform
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun

Out in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

There's no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
They're falling on deaf ears again

Out in the fields
Out in the fields
They're falling one by one
Out in the fields
No flag has ever stopped
The bullet from a gun

Death is just a heartbeat away
Out in the fields
A heartbeat away
Out in the fields
Death is just a heartbeat away
Out in the fields
A heartbeat away
Out in the fields

In the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day

Out.

Romeo and The Lonely Girl (Lynott)

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-oo
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 (or... the lover might just burn)

Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own-ee-oo
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-oh
Oh poor Romeo

Running Back (Lynott)

I'm a fool now that it's over
can you guess my name
I make money singin' songs about you
it's my claim to fame
When they say it's over
it's not over, there's still the pain

And I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again
Oh I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again

If I said I was sorry
would you still leave me?
I never thought you would go
'till you did
believe me
When they say it's over
it's not over completely

'Cause I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again
Yes I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again

I miss that girl

The show is over, and we must all go home
Just leave me by myself
I'll be alright here on my own
If it's all over, it's all over
and I'm all alone

And I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again
Don't you know I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again
Oh my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my
Oh tra la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Oh na na na na na na na na na

Saga Of The Ageing Orphan

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

Sarah

One, two
One, two, three, four

When you came in my life you changed my world
My Sarah

My Sarah

You hold my heart so don't let go

You are all I want to know
Oh my Sarah
Don't let go oh no
My Sarah

You are all I want to know
You hold my heart so don't let go
You are all I need to live
My love to you I'll always give

You are all I want to know
You hold my heart so don't let go
You are all I want to know
Oh my Sarah

Yes you changed my style with your baby smile
Sarah
Childlike charms keep me warm hold you in my arms
Sarah

Change my world my baby girl
Sarah
All I want to know don't let go
No, no, no, no, no, no
Sarah
Sarah
Be mine

Still In Love With You (Lynott)

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

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING (Downey, Lynott)

Locked up in the classroom waiting for a break
Down to the studio 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 and every night is small

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 the door holding another guys hand
He look six foot six you know to my mind
I was taking baby little sugar and 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 bruise
You can keep your lover honey, but he's got to pay the bill

When I crazy started walking it was Saturday night
I was dressed to kill I was doing alright
Alright in the middle of the night
I wasn't ready for a rumble but the mood was right

You've got to believe absolutely this way
I said love that's the price you have to pay
Then the going gets tough up against the wall
When you bring your heavy racket then I'd rather have a ball

We started to rumble and stumble
It is we were rocking and rolling and rolling
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 every rock was stormed

Waiting For An Alibi (Philip Lynott)

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 forget
That 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

Warriors (Lynott, Gorham)

I am the warrior
I serve the death machine
Losers or conquerors
All flash past on my silver screen

Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds

It ain't pretty...

I am a messenger
The message here, you must know
I am the warrior
I deliver the fatal blow

So fate will have to wait
Till time can heal the scar
My heart is ruled by Venus
And my head by Mars

Whiskey In The Jar

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

Musha ring dum a doo 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 treat me easy

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

Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'
Me I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah

With Love (Lynott)

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 neighbour
And be assured of what they own
