Lyrics & Information

This is the 4th track taken from their 1975 album 'Fighting'. When this album came out John Peel raved about it. Little known gem in the overall picture of Thin Lizzy's career but nonetheless amazing. Personally I believe this song was written about Phil himself, realising he would never be the kind of average quiet guy, nor give up the lifestyle he led for anything. But made it out of sympathy for what others felt about him and his addictions. I put this up because the youtube videos of Wild One cut out the solo and for a higher quality play.
Enjoy!

Lyrics :-

Wild one wont you please come home
You've been away too long, will ya?
We need you home, we need you near
Come back wild one will ya?

How can we live without your love
You know that could kill ya
And how can we carry on
When you are gone my wild one.

Oh sure you're a wild one
Oh you are a wild one
Over and over and over and over.

So you go your way, and wild one
I'll try and follow
And if you change your mind
I will be waiting here for ya tomorrow.

For I would beg for ya,
I would steal and I would borrow
I'd do anything at all,anything at all
To end this sorrow

My wild one
Oh you're a wild one!
'Cause Johnny goes a 'rolling home

[Solo]
'Cause Johnny goes a 'rolling home
There was no hope!

Wild one,
The gypsies warned of the danger
You can laugh and joke with friends
But don't you ever talk to strangers

Although their offers may be sweet
And I'd bet and I would wager
Away you'll stray and never come back
To those who love and made you

'Cause Johnny goes a 'rolling home
Away you'll stray away you'll stray
Over and over and over and over
Now what a lonely wild one!

I'm in my mid 20's and was just recently exposed to Thin Lizzy's lesser known stuff. I can't believe how good this sounds. I had always heard of Thin Lizzy but figured, like most people my age, they were a two hit wonder as the retarded classic rock stations that play nothing but Stairway and Freebird would have people believe. It's amazing how underrated and under-appreciated this band is. It's also astounding how much of today's rock sound is clearly derived from these guys.

go out and buy all the land and thin lizzy albums you can, because Gods not making any more if it

[looknleap]

Meaningful, absorbing, fantastic classic rock lies within!

[entwistle4ever]

Who wants music that came out this week? eeeeeewwwwww :-(

[entwistle4ever]

Radio in the USA is indeed lame. If I had any balls, I would quit my job and tour the world educating everyone about Thin Lizzy.

I have a Lizzy tribute band ( we are all in our 40's and yes we kick ass! )....Nice to see younger people embracing older music. Just because it's not from THIS WEEK doesn't mean it's not awesome & relevant. We are working on this song now, challenging...tho it sounds simple... 

[jmoney31705]

@djw151 me too bro, 27 here, growing up in america all i knew of lizzy was boys are back in town, jailbreak, and bad reputation, about 2 years ago a co worker turned me on to the Johnny The Fox album, and i have been a FULL FLEDGED Lizzy fan ever since. PHIL LYNOTT FOREVER!!! i played the violin in grade school, now i rock the bass, mostly because of PHIL!!!!!

[Tiltrotor86]

Wild One, Roisin Dub and It's Getting Dangerous are my favorite of Thin Lizzy. Even if my best band is Metallica, I hold a big place in my heart for Lynott, Gary Moore and their friends !

[Tiltrotor86]

That's crazy how unknown is that band.. In my opinion WAY BETTER than most famous ROCKSTAR or band like Hendrix or The Door... that made more crappy stuff... that sound so sweet rock, heard that would make everyone in the same side, muslims, chistians, black, white, rednecks.... If only the wind could blow that sound to the whole earth at the same time..

@entwistle4ever I also like Pandora. Since I've started listening to it, I've created several stations and have opened myself up to thousands of bands that I like that I've never even heard of before listening to the lame-ass radio stations.

[jmoney31705]

@SupernalOne on their first tour in the states, bruce came up to phil and told him he had to meet him

[entwistle4ever]

I don't mean to be a broken record BUT do NOT under any circumstances see anything calling itself THIN LIZZY or any tribute bands!!!

THIN LIZZY died when Phil died. Nuff said. LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. Cheers.
