Phil Lynott Album

Betty was a loser
And everyone that used her
Would let her take the blame
And if she dare refused
And if she dare resist
All suggestions that she made were quickly dismissed
'til in the end in despair
She threw her hands up in the air
She'd slit her wrists
Crying nobody cares
Believing that by dying she would not be missed

They found her on the stairs
She was shot down in flames
If you take no prisoners
If you take no names

Now just between you and me
I think that's very brave
That's really facing the reality
But it's not face that were trying to save

Johnny's turning viscous
If only someone could ease the strain
He says he going crazy
If only someone could ease the pain
The doctor says it serious
The doctor says you must insist
If this boy keeps going on like this
I'm sure he'll end up delirious
May I say it plain
This poor boy is going insane

To be continued on...

Now just between you and me
I think that's very brave
The law is reality

Now do you understand
That this was no ordinary man
And do we all agree
That we should use any means nessesary

Like standing in the line
Like pulling at the same time
(Can We)
Do you think there's hope for us
(Can We Save It)
Do you think all is lost
(Can We)
Can we save the world in time

The Man's a fool
The Man's a crazy, mixed up fool
The Man's a fool
The Man is crazy, mixed up

Now do we dare go on
Know'in that we've done something wrong
Do we dare turn back
Knowing what will happen
We could soon be strong
We could live as one
(Can We)
Do you think there's hope for us
(Can We Save It)
Do you think we can still trust
(Can We)
Can we save the world in time

The Man's a fool
The Man's a crazy, mixed up fool
The Man's a fool
The Man is crazy, mixed up

I say it with reluctance
(Can We)
I say it with repentence
(Can We Say It)
I say it so opus
(Can We)
Can we save the world in Time

The Man's a fool
The Man's a crazy, mixed up fool
The Man's a fool
The Man is crazy, mixed up

Would we get a chance
Or is it hopeless
Revenge and Reluctunce
Please reveal my sentence
Can we save the world in time
(Can we)
Can we save the world in time
(Can we Save It)
Is all lost
Is there such a hollocast
(Can we Save It)
Can we save the world in time
(Can we)
Can we save the world in time
(Can we Save It)
The Man's a fool
(Can we)
Can we save the world in time

The old covent garden

[No lyrics]

The little girl she comes running home from school
She's lost her first public fight
She's so upset as she wipes away her tears
She can't concentrate on her homework that night
And finally when she gets her homework right
Her daddy knows that somethings wrong
But decideds to leave the questions utill later on

And later on at the little girls request
that she go to bed early to rest
Like a weeping willow
Into her sleeping pillow she cries

The little girl is growing up
While her whole world it is falling down
I wish this hurting it could stop
but she's only learning

Her daddy gets up late for work
He's got a cigerett hanging from the corner of his mouth
He's late, he's missed that train again
Oh, total shock
And finally when he gets to work
All his fears deliverd with one blow
The boss says, with a smile
I'm sorry but you'll have to go

The little girl is growing up
While his whole world it is falling down
I wish this hurting it could stop
but she's only learning

The little girl is growing up
While her whole world it is falling down
I wish this hurting it could stop
but she's only learning

(sax solo.....)

The little girl she makes it to school
She meets up with a friend
They both pretend
they want to be the teachers pet again
And finally when she makes it home
She doesn't know what is wrong or right
Should she tell her mamma
Or should she keep quiet

The little girl is growing up
While her whole world it is falling down
I wish this hurting it could stop
but she's only learning

The little girl is growing up
While her whole world it is falling down
I wish this hurting it could stop
but she's only learning

The little girl is growing up
While her whole world it is falling down
I wish this hurting it could stop
but she's only learning
she's learning, learning
she's learning, learning
she's learning, learning
she's learning, learning
growning up
growing up
growning up

"We all must beware of the yellow pearl"

The Yellow Pearl control, attack, attack, attack, attack
Yellow Pearl
It is foolish to venture into strange enchanted places
If they aren't the places you want to be

Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
Is what we lack

We will arise
We will control
We will command
We will patrol

It is foolish under the guise of love and liberty
That we should capitalize and rob and fell
The poor for the socialistic tree

We will arise
We will control
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
Is what we lack
That's what you lack

We shall arise
They will arise
We shall control
They will control
We shall command
They will command
We shall patrol
They will patrol

We must fight back
We will arise
They will arise
We will control

We are now living in a situation
Where that self same situation depends on the Yellow Pearl
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
Is what we lack
We will arise
They will arise
We will control
They will control
We will command
They shall command
We will patrol
They will patrol
Arise
Yellow Pearl's upon us now
We must fight back

We will arise
They will arise
We will control
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack

Is what we lack
Is what we lack
Don't trust in Liberty
To save your soul
It is genocide to let liberty lose control
Control
We must decide
Control
We the Yellow Pearl we will control

Please please stop

If you see her
Please give her this message
Oh won't you tell her
How much I miss her
Even Better
Tell her I must meet her
Or tell her that I lover her
And nothings changed

You see together
We were stonger
Alas no longer
Are we together

And God forbid
If I should never ever see her
And God forbid
If I was to blame
I remember
Not so long ago
When I was hers and she was mine

Togehter
We were stonger
Alas no longer
Are we togehter

You see togehter
We were stonger
Alas no longer
Are we togehter

So if you see her
Please please give her this message

Oh how I love her
Oh how I love her
Oh yes I love her
Oh how I love her

You see togehter
We were stonger
Alas no longer
Are we togehter

You see togehter
We were so strong
Alas no longer
Are we togehter

(To fade....)

Just a little water
Changed my very soul
With just a little water
You have gained controll
It was just a little water
Changed my very life
Just a little water
You are my life

Just a little water
Changed my very way
Just a little water
Changed me that day

It was Just a little water
Changed my very soul
Just a little water
Now it's me you own

Just a little water
Just a little water
Just a little water
Just a little water
Just a little water
Just a little water

(Fade...)

the dream was not a vision or some premonition like we were told
it was no figment of the imagination to prove that we could be bought or sold
the doctor of the diamond run could be revealed to the intelligent
but this is what i resent who cares for the ignorant the intelligent
the cynics approach was mean who cares for anything in this whole wide world except me?
and this opinion must not confuse the issue my appearance my condition or state of delivery
i am stating the obvious
this is a protest
there must be a conclusion this is no shakespearean speech
this is a statement made by one who cannot practice what he preaches
the statue of liberty has engraved on its wall
give me your poor give me your needy give me them all
we need something like this
for this world to coexist
it would be so easy
to act so pretentious
to act as if it was hypocrisy
to act condescending
when in fact it's the world we're mending
and that's why i can't relax
'cause inside my coat it's a pistol that i pack
we must beware of a surprise nuclear attack
we must be ready to strike back
i'm not pretending
our defence needs clearly mending
we must leave those standing
forget the third world is ending
is starving
is crying
is desolate
is oh so late
i would dearly love to return
through a mirror in twenty years
and learn what the future has in store for us
and if i learned that we lost
and there was no hope
for those that fight
i would turn to drink
and drink is drugs
and drugs would help me sink
and like a boat i float
i sail out to the sky
to the universe and back
maybe to give it another try
i don't know why why jack
just to confirm our father
just to learn just to heal us

Alright are you ready for this one?

Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that

The ladies act
it attracts
the likes of me and Jack
but in fact
if you check it out
it lacks impact

She'll be hoppin and jumpin and leaving and lyin
and cryin then dyin it every single day
I wanna jump, I wanna scream
I wanna tell you 'bout my dreams
Gotta get away, gotta get away today 'ay

Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that

Little silly willy, he went a little silly
And willy he went out late last night
Now who should meet willy, out with lilly
but her boyfriend billy late last night
Then billy gotta little rough with lilly
so willy said hey billy I think that's enough

Then billy went silly, he beat little willy
and willy he went out last night

he said
Don't talk about my baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that

Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that

(solo...)

Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that

Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that

Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk about me like that
