- “Sarah” – Black Rose: A Rock Legend (1979) When Phil Lynott became a father with his newborn daughter, he felt so inspired to write a song about her. “Sarah” is completely unrelated to Thin Lizzy’s older version of “Sarah,” which was inspired by Lynott’s grandmother.
- “Still In Love with You” – Nightlife (1974) “Still In Love with You” is Thin Lizzy’s most romantic ballad, a song that’s been a crowd favorite, and will always remain in the footnotes of history as the band’s greatest song.
- “With Love” – Black Rose: A Rock Legend (1979) “With love/ She says she won’t be back no more / With love / She says she’s leaving for sure.” Their remains one of Thin Lizzy’s heartbreaking songs.
- “That Woman’s Gonna Break Your Heart” – Bad Reputation (1977) Lynott’s intent to give a warning about a woman who has a reputation as a heartbreaker is clear.

Arguably Thin Lizzy’s first truly stellar song, the aptly titled “The Rocker” was the stand-out cut from their third album, 1973’s Vagabonds Of The Western World. One of the few early songs that remained in the band’s live set after their lead guitar duo of Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham replaced original six-string incumbent Eric Bell in 1974, “...
The most controversial song in Thin Lizzy’s canon, edgy rocker “Killer On The Loose” was released as a single in the middle of the lengthy manhunt for the notorious British serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, better known by his tabloid nickname, “The Yorkshire Ripper.” Sutcliffe wasn’t the inspiration for the song, but that didn’t prevent the press fro...
A classic folk song concerning a highwayman who is betrayed by his sweetheart after robbing a government official, “Whiskey In The Jar” was first popularized by traditional Irish folk outfit The Dubliners during the 60s. The romance’n’roguery-fueled lyric appealed to Phil Lynott, and while the song was hardly representative of Thin Lizzy’s overall ...
Released in 1981, Thin Lizzy’s penultimate album, Renegade, saw the group trying to find their feet among the era’s rapidly changing trends. They retained their songwriting chops, however; indeed, Renegade’s best moments, the driving “Hollywood (Down On Your Luck),” the Latin-flavored “Mexican Girl” and the record’s melancholic title track are capa...
Though it may have lacked some of the firepower of future classics such as Jailbreak, Thin Lizzy’s fourth album, 1974’s Nightlife, is something of an under-appreciated gem. The album’s consummate opening cut, “She Knows,” captures the group at their most poppy and accessible, but it’s also significant for being the first of many songs co-written by...
One of the many highlights of 1977’s Bad Reputation, the reflective “Southbound” found Phil Lynott vividly relaying the story of a traveling troubadour who – like Lizzy in their early days – endures countless one-night stands as he chases fame and fortune. Wistful and poetic (“So tonight after sundown, I’m gonna pack my case/Without a word, without...
Thin Lizzy’s final studio album, 1983’s Thunder And Lightning, was recorded with a new line-up, with Lynott, Gorham, and drummer Brian Downey joined by guitarist John Sykes and keyboard player Darren Wharton. Though generally more metal-inclined than their landmark work, it was still a fine record and, retrospectively, feels like the beginning of a...
As the July 1973 version of the song from the band’s At The BBC collection proves, “Suicide” was thoroughly road-tested during Thin Lizzy’s first phase, during which time it was a showcase for Eric Bell’s wailing, bluesy slide guitar. Lynott and his team toughened up the song’s arrangement up for 1975’s Fighting, wherein it afforded the band’s new ...
An insight into Thin Lizzy’s diverse personal listening tastes, Johnny The Fox’s atypically funky “Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed” was based on Phil Lynott’s love of Philly soul outfit The O’Jays’ “For The Love Of Money,” which influenced the song’s main riff. “At every soundcheck, he’d be playing that funky riff,” Scott Gorham later told Clas...
Their only album to feature guitarist Gary Moore, Lizzy’s ninth studio effort, Black Rose: A Rock Legend, was stuffed wall-to-wall with classics and it deservedly peaked at No.2 in the UK Top 40 in the early summer of 1979. Starting as it meant to go on, the record opened with “Do Anything You Want To”: a quintessential Lizzy anthem full of confide...
