Thin Lizzy - A Night In The Life Of A Blues Singer

Thin Lizzy - Having A Good Time
 
Me and my buddies we're going to get drunk
We're going to go out on the town
We'll be checking it out, slipping it in
And stepping out of line
You know everybody likes to get a little crazy
In their own particular way
But my buddies and I we go over the top
And we're going over again today

We'll be having a good time
Passing the by-line
Having a good time
You know it's a rock and roll pastime

It might be typical, topical or maybe tropical
That doesn't mean anything
If you're political, practical
Then it's improbable, that you do anything
But me and my buddies we like to go crazy
We like to go over the hill
Hey, woman will you be there, because my buddies and I will

Having a good time
Passing the by-line
We'll be having a good time
It's a rock and roll pastime

"Hey, Snowy...play a bit for me
That was Snowy White
And he likes err...it in the night
The next to play
I must say, is Scott Gorham
 
We'll be having a good time
Passing the by-line
Having a good time
It's a rock and roll pastime

Let's play that one more time
Hit me with that drum Brian
Hit me as hard as you can
Oh yes, that's they way I like it
Do it again, do it again, let's do it again

Having a good time
Oh yes I like this
Having a good time
Typical, topical, who cares?
Having a good time
Political, practical, impossible
Having a good time

Don't ask me why Jack?
Having a good time
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Having a good time
Having a wild time
Having a good time
I'm slipping on the inside
Having a good time
That's fine having a good time
Having a good time
Drinking Beaujolais
No that doesn't rhyme
Having a good time
I'm talking from the top of my head
Having a good time
To the bottom of your soul
 
Thin Lizzy - Heart Attack
 
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
 
Thin Lizzy - Here I Go Again
 
So we packed our bags and headed for the North sea
There was Eric, Brian, Freaky Pete, Charlie, Frankie Lee and me
I was feeling homesick but I was in good company
We went sailing

We came ashore long before the fighting broke
Saw the sign and headed for the big smoke
We met an old woman of the roads, she said "This life is but a joke"
But we kept on trucking

I'm always thinking, I'm thinking
I'm thinking how much I think about it all
While you're just dreaming, just dreaming, just dreaming
 
Had you dreamt it all

But I'm the one who's fallen
The one you hear
Here calling across your floor
Here I go again feeling low down

I'll never know, but then I came from the wrong side of town
We were like the lonesome outlaws
We would go which way the wind did blow
Down the open trail that nobody knows

Sometimes it gets lonesome
But there you go feeling low down
 
Thin Lizzy - Hey You
 
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 *** it made
Hey you, you've *** it made
Hey you, you've *** it made
Hey you, all your friends told you in your small town
Hey you, you've *** 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 *** it made
Hey you, you've *** it made
Hey you
You've *** it made
 
Hey you
You're heading for the big time
Hey you, you've *** it made
You're headed for a life of crime

Living 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 *** it made
Hey you, you've *** it made
Hey you, you've *** it made
Hey you, you've *** it made
Hey you, you've *** 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 *** it made
 
Thin Lizzy - Hollywood
 
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 *** 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 luck

People 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 *** 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 *** 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 ***ta make a dollar holler
When you're down on your luck
 
Thin Lizzy - Holy War
 
And if you will adore me
And if you will take this throne
And if you bow before me
All I have is yours to own
 
There are those that look 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
 
All the visions seen before you
All the kingdoms and the thrones
All are yours if you bow before me
Please adore me
All this you'll own
