--- Quote from: Storm Rider ---WHACK FOR MY DADDY-OOOOOO
THERE'S WHISKEY IN THE JAR-O
It's a shame nobody really pays attention to Thin Lizzy aside from The Boys are Back in Town.
--- End quote ---
The best Thin Lizzy song is clearly Emerald.
"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!"

I prefer "Flower" on the same album:
Flower, flower, flower
Power, power, power
I come over
I take over
Kudzu, kudzu, kudzu
Moods, moods, moods
lprkn:
who's seen jezebel?
she was born to be the woman i would know
and hold like the breeze
half as tight as both our eyes closed
who's seen jezebel?
she went walking where the cedars line the road
her blouse on the ground
where the dogs were hungry, roaming
saying, "wait, we swear
we'll love you more and wholly
jezebel, it's we, we that you are for
only"
who's seen jezebel?
she was born to be the woman we could blame
make me a beast half as brave
i'd be the same
who's seen jezebel?
she was gone before i ever got to say
"lay here my love
you're the only shape i'll pray to, jezebel"
who's seen jezebel?
will the mountain last as long as i can wait
wait like the dawn
how it aches to meet the day
who's seen jezebel?
she was certainly the spark for all i've done
the window was wide
she could see the dogs come running
saying, "wait, we swear
we'll love you more and wholly
jezebel, it's we, we that you are for
only"

KharBevNor:
You know, for a forum that is supposed to slaver over the tired canon of indie rock, I'm mightily surprised no-one in this thread mentioned...
"What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me
And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me
What a curious life we have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees
Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all"
