I've been mixed up, cut up so sit down and shut up
'Cause I'm a hard man
I was hung up, strung out but I can't take no more junk
Even if you can
It will beat ya cheat ya
Deceit ya, defeat ya
No rocker, bopper, show stealin' teeny bopper
Gonna get a thing from me
No fat, black, back scratchin' pussy cat
Gonna get her claws on me
Well they got a scheme to sell you kids
The silver screens and glossy magazines
Better hold back, good times, strung out, hung up
Strong out, picked on, ripped off, kicked out
Spit on, set up, ripped off, locked up, sent down
Maybe you're as hard as I am
Just blow me away

Thin Lizzy è un gruppo hard rock irlandese formatosi a Dublino nel 1969. I membri fondatori furono il chitarrista Eric Bell, l'organista Eric Wrixon, il cantante e bassista Philip Lynott e il batterista Brian Downey. Il gruppo ha raggiunto la fama internazionale negli anni '70 con un sound caratterizzato da riff di chitarra potente, melodie orecchiabili e testi spesso ispirati alla mitologia irlandese. Tra i brani più famosi ci sono "The Boys Are Back in Town", "Jailbreak" e "Whiskey in the Jar". Lynott è considerato una figura iconica del rock, noto per il suo carisma e la sua voce potente. Thin Lizzy ha pubblicato numerosi album di successo, tra cui "Fighting" (1974), "Nightlife" (1974) e "Bad Reputation" (1977). Il gruppo si è sciolto nel 1983 dopo la morte di Lynott, ma ha continuato ad avere un seguito fedele negli anni successivi.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
