Thin Lizzy - Half Caste (Peel Sessions '75)

Lyrics & Information

A great version of Half-Caste. Superb song with a controversial appeal yet Phil plays it out very well and with class. Get your reggae boots on! Played in session in 1975. Enjoy!

Lyrics :-

I got a girl in Brixton town
Her daddy don't like me hanging 'round
The boy ain't black the boy is brown
Don't he know it's a half-caste town

The big smoke
Big smoke
Big smoke
Big smoke

[Guitar solo interlude]

'Smoke
'Smoke
Big smoke
Big smoke

The boy is half caste
Half caste
(Half caste)

I got a girl up near Richmond way
Her daddy don't like me to lead the girl astray
The brown boy is born to serve he say
Don't he know it's a different day

In the big smoke
(I like it)
Big smoke
(No joke)
Big smoke
Big smoke

Mister I'm Half Caste
You see I'm Half Caste
Got no class

[Outro to fade and end]

[nottoberemembered]

This is amazing, so much of Phil I never heard before, I only just found a copy of Grandslam live and I've been smiling ever since "A night in the life of a blues singer" is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard

Thanks for the post
