Re: Thin Lizzy

I took a line that leads you to the opium trail
Oriental eyes reveal the lies, deceit, betrayal
On this journey behold the one who travels far
You called him fool but now you are

The wizard wanders through the world we made from dreams
The splashing whirlpool drowns the frightened screams
Exotic dancers, flashing LANCES, this mysterious space
The fanfare advances, the warlord falls from grace

It clears your pain
But It's got you claimed again, my love
You feel the need but it lets you bleed
You must concede, my love

No one to blame, no shame
You crave again and again, my love
No used to plead from you
It feeds on your greed, my love

I took a line that comes from the golden states of Shan
The smugglers trail that leads you to the opium den
The Chinese connection refines to heroin
Depart the heart you crave again

It clears your pain
You soul is claimed again, my love
You feel the need, it lets you bleed
You must concede, my love

No one to blame, no shame
You crave again and again, my love
No use to plead
From you it feeds, my love

Re: Thin Lizzy

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
BATTLE 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
Right quite right

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

Re: Thin Lizzy

What do you guys think of the album "Renegade." I think it ROCKS about 75 % of the time. There's a few tracks on the second side that don't do much for me but I think it's mostly great. I need to hear "The Pressure Will Blow" a couple times a day. It's just got me by the throat. It's a good sounding album too.

"Thunder & Lightning" is painfull though. Not a good swan song for the band.

Re: Thin Lizzy

Been years literally since I played this album. Like discovering it all over again. Great album all the way through.

interesting.. Vic remember that Thin Lizzy was going METAL on T & L ( intersting the same initials as the band), and that pace of that album was much faster, Sykes and all..I happen to like it...The Sun ( son) goes down.. ws always a painful swan song..

Yeah I like the Thunder and Lightning album too, just a heavier direction probably moving with the market at the time. :grinthumb
