Nightlife Lyrics & Tracklist by Thin Lizzy

Who's got the funk When you're feeling low down Who's going to love you When there's no one else around Who's going to help you Especially when you're sick Loving Mary I need you quick She knows and she gives her everything She knows and she can do her thing She knows and she tries her best She knows, oh, you know she knows Who's got the junk When you're feeling low down Who's going to give When there's none to go around Who's going to help you When you feel you've had enough Mother Mary This child, this rose But loving Mary Do you feel the pain? I'm falling down And I can't get up again Do ya, do ya, do ya Do ya, do ya, do ya Just a striped guitar reaction Who's going to help you Especially when you're ill Loving Mary I hope you will But loving Mary Do you feel the pain? I'm falling down And I can't get up again Do ya, do ya, do ya Do ya, do ya, do ya Mother Mary, is there nothing you can do?

They say that the night life They say it ain't no good life But it's my life I've been a gambler I've been a thief And most of my good friends They don't hold with my belief They say that the night life They say it ain't no good life Oh but buy you know that it's my life And if you've had troubles If you've felt them woes I don't have to tell you How this whole world is so low Hey now baby It can drive you crazy Oh but baby Baby, the night life's for me Just one more time I'll hit the road And I want to thank you I want to thank the Lord For that old night life Some say it ain't no good life But baby, baby There ain't nothing like this night life

You don't believe in love You don't believe in hatred Put your money in the bank It's the only way to save it You try to make a buck But you haven't made a penny You need a little luck But you know you won't get any You don't believe in God You don't believe in glory You've got a brother in the clinic Tells the same kind of story If he had another life He'd know what would be waiting If he had another soul He could sell it all to Satan You don't believe in war You don't believe in Jesus Got a sister in New York She knows how she pleases Walking the streets On the south side of the city Trying to make ends meet Isn't that a pity...for money

Think I'll just fall to pieces If I don't find something else to do This sadness never ceases I'm still in love with you My head, it keeps on reeling It's got me in a crazy spin Darling, darling, darling Is this the end? Still in love with you They say time has a way of healing Dries all the tears from your eyes But darling it's this empty feeling My heart can't disguise After all that we've been through I try my best but it's no use I guess I'll keep on loving you Is this the end? Now that it's all over, woman There's something I think you should know Baby, baby, think it over Just one more time before you go Call on me baby If there's anything I can do for you Call on me baby Help me see it through I'm still in love with you

Frankie Carroll He got drunk last night I tried my best to help him But he wound up in a fight And his missy got him She said "Frankie, it's alright" "Frankie won't do you wrong" Frankie Carroll He beat his kids last night "I don't like you kids shouting" "Shut up now, don't care who's wrong or right" And his missy got him She said "Frankie, I'll keep the kids quiet" Frankie, Frankie, what's wrong? Frankie Carroll He fell to bed last night And his head hung off the pillow And his eyes were closed shut tight And his missy She got up and turned out the light Frankie, Frankie, what's wrong? Frankie Carroll was with a woman last night

Johnny Cool was the king The leader of the boot boys He'd never cause no trouble In a rumble make some noise He heard about some chick And the way she liked to rock He said "Come here honey" "Let me see you lift up your frock" There's gonna be a showdown Miss Lucy was a chick He knew she like to ball He said "Come on Lucy" "It doesn't matter to me at all" But Miss Lucy got a fella With a flick knife in his hand Johnny Cool pulls a shotgun The man is in command There's gonna be a showdown King Cool King Kong King King With all the kings King of hearts he's a lover King of spades he's a brother King of clubs makes a dollar King of diamonds the wedding ring There's gonna be a showdown

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

I've been a wild wild rover Sailed all over the sea But this thing that makes me wonder Has made a fool of me For it took me from my childhood Underneath the stars and skies And I still hear the wind Whistling through the wild wood, whispering goodbye It's home boys home She's home boys home No matter Where I roam If you see my mother Please give her all of my love For she has a heart of gold there As good as God above If you see my mother Tell her I'm keeping fine Tell her that I love her And I'll try and write sometime

Dear heart I wish you could see that Dear heart You mean the world to me Man with the broken heart filled with lead Suffered and he fought for what he believed The fighting is over now, the man is dead A martyr for the cause Man with the golden arm, his face gone pale Taken too much junk, he's gone over the rale Breathes out a sigh and his body wails He's gonna land in trouble, land in jail He'd give his life, give his everything To reach that goal and take that last and final fling But I guess it's just another story In the greatest story ever told Dear heart I wish that you could see that Dear heart You mean the world to me
