Lyrics - Thin Lizzy Lyrics
|  |
FORMED: 1970, Dublin, Ireland
DISBANDED: 1983
Thin Lizzy is among rock music's elite and a synonym for
classic rock. As one of the first bands to break out of
Ireland, Thin Lizzy's music was hard, yet melodic; their
lyrics romanticized stories of love, love-lost, and street
life as well as Irish folklore. Their signature double
guitar lead sound has influenced countless bands beyond the
rock genre. With thirteen albums to their credit, they have
had over fourteen top 20 hits in Europe while classic
tracks such as "The Boys Are Back In Town", "Jailbreak",
and "Cowboy Song" have become staples of American rock
radio.
Formed in 1969 by Dublin school chums Phil Lynott and Brian
Downey, Thin Lizzy scored their first top ten hit in 1972
with "Whiskey In The Jar" -- More...

Review about Thin Lizzy
Wrong lyrics | Reviewer: Jay
------ About the song Whiskey In The Jar performed by Thin Lizzy
Musha ring dum a do dum a da.
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
These are the Metallica Lyrics.. the Thin Lizzy Lyrics are actually "Work for my Daddy-o".... he had such a thick accent that it wasnt sung properly by Metallica.. listen to the thin lizzy version again and you'll see what i mean. it sounds like Werk for my daddy-o but i assure you it is work...
I tried my best, but its no use... | Reviewer: joe
------ About the song Still In Love With You performed by Thin Lizzy
I don't care what anyone says, this is the greatest breakup song in the world. Even if I wasn't with anyone and I'd hear this song, it would still have an emotional grip on me. Thats good song writing. Thin Lizzy was such a dynamic band, Philo's passing truly was a tragedy.

maybe it's something imaginary | Reviewer: spin
------ About the song Dancing In The Moonlight (It's Caught Me In Its Spotlight) performed by Thin Lizzy
I have the impression the song is not about a real love, but more about temporary madness of some sort. a very great song indeed, very bent on psychology.
to love someone who does not exist.. that's what it's about in my opinion.
This song is awesome! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The Boys Are Back In Town performed by Thin Lizzy
I've loved this song since I first heard it, and now, all my friends totally agree with me! Even though they repeat the same thing over and over again, it's still pretty cool!I've heard soo many rappers try to perform this song, but they sound so bad, I usually have to cover my ears!(ha ha!) I know that Thin Lizzy sounds sooo much better!
Phil Lynnot owns(owned) | Reviewer: HighOnMusic
------ About the song The Boys Are Back In Town performed by Thin Lizzy
This song is amazing, and I agree that it really makes you feel like you were there with them. Phil Lynnot was a genious. Even though this song is really great, I think my favourite Thin Lizzy song is Roisin dubh (Black Rose), that song is so poetic and beautiful.

------ About the song Whiskey In The Jar performed by Thin Lizzy
This is a great Irish traditional song. However Thin Lizzy's version is not correct. Way off actually. But all the same it is a fictitious story, and it doesn't hurt to adlib. I do like Thin Lizzy's version better.
really cool | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The Boys Are Back In Town performed by Thin Lizzy
"And that time 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"
dont it make you feel like you where there with them??? can t you just see it? it has an old school cool blues rock rhythm

What a band! What a song! | Reviewer: Alan Hayes
------ About the song Holy War performed by Thin Lizzy
I too listened to Thin Lizzy in my teenage years (I'm 45). I had Jailbreak on eigth track tape! I love this song, I've only heard it on the live "Life" album, which is an incredible album. Phil Lynott was such a great songwriter, he could write mesmerizing lyrics and music about so many deep topics. Long live Lizzy!!!

Song review | Reviewer: Brendan O casey.
------ About the song Still In Love With You performed by Thin Lizzy
Two live versions of this wonderful song exist plau a studio version, one is as good as the other. A lament for the broken heart or soon to be...
oh cool! | Reviewer: just me
------ About the song The Boys Are Back In Town performed by Thin Lizzy
do they still play this one after irish football games? then I shore will watch an irish game if I come to ireland sometimes! is there any other songs by thin lizzy (besides wiskey in the jar?) that still are played and remebered that way in ireland?
Hey nuts!!! | Reviewer: III
------ About the song The Boys Are Back In Town performed by Thin Lizzy
ok....
-let´s stop to piss off...
I agree that rap is great; I know rap and I do like some songs off good rappers; but thin lizzy is something special. It´s very great!
some friends ( many o´them live next door )got boared about the expression " boys ", trying to say it sounds bad, but
I dont agree, cuz I got my point of view: you got to know the context of the SONG joined together with the LYRICS...
it may sounds some autobiographic stuff, but truly,
he's just talking about a place. he´ve seen she on the floor shakin' what she got/she was cool, she was hot.. steamer.. and it runs like this...
help me please | Reviewer: Steve Cloutier
------ About the song Whiskey In The Jar (11/14/72) performed by Thin Lizzy
would like to know please which album to find this song on?
The Citadel | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The Boys Are Back In Town performed by Thin Lizzy
Folks: This song was written about "The Boys" in T Company at The Citadel in South Carolina. Dino's was a bar just down the road (now torn down so a Wendy's could be built) and Johnny's was a place cadets "climbed over the wall" to get to at night (AWOL).
What is it about? | Reviewer: Maria
------ About the song Dancing In The Moonlight (It's Caught Me In Its Spotlight) performed by Thin Lizzy
I love this song! It's such a great song when you feel like you need to go out and let your inhibitions out!
I think this song is about that exactly. Living life to the fullest, and not caring about tomorrow. As long as you are free, happy, and having a great time...that's all that matters.
