Thin Lizzy - Cold Sweat (1982 Demo)

A demo from the T&L sessions in late 1982. Some significant differences and a really interesting listen. Enjoy!

Lyrics for this version, which slightly differ:
I put my money in a suitcase
And I headed for the big race
Youre gonna see my body sweat
Before I place a heavy bet
They say chances on the outside
Are looking pretty slim
I feel so lucky on the inside
I feel Im gonna win
Stone cold sweat

Ive got a whole months wages
I havent seen that much in ages
Im gonna spend it in stages
Or move out to Las Vegas
They say chances on the outside
Are looking pretty slim
I feel so lucky on the inside
I feel Im gonna win
Stone cold sweat

I put my money in a suitcase
And headed for the rat race
Youre gonna see my body sweat
Before I place a heavy bet
Chances on the outside
Are looking pretty dim
I feel so lucky on the inside
I feel Im gonna win
Stone cold sweat

I put my money in a suitcase
Im headed for the big race
Youre gonna see my body sweat
Now Im in a cold sweat
Im gonna spend it in stages
Im gonna go toIm gonna goIm gonna go to
Cold Sweat!

You commentators or should I call u color guys are out in the woods smoking Tshernobyl pot.

Metallica easily took spices from this.

And many other bands.

@kpytoi1

So do the hipster doofuses always spell Chernobyl "Tshernobyl"?

Anyway, no one is disagreeing that Metallica was influenced by Lizzy, but the argument that Lizzy stole "Jump In the Fire" (or vice versa) is idiotic, which is I deleted all the dialogue from it prior to your comment.

I also have to take umbrage with this condescension about 'commentators' and 'color guys'. You sound like a fucking snob, and you commenting on it makes you no better than anyone else.

@blacksabfan Tshernobyl is Ukrainian for Chernobyl.

@Marshallsatten

But he wasn't speaking Ukrainian. He was speaking English.

I'm just here to listen to the music. Music is a developing thing, and it's difficult to have millions of songs without some sounding similar. I'm definitely not here to say who is heavier than whom, I just want to hear more music. There are many songs i have yet to hear.

[Marshallsatten]

Sykes tears up the guitar again. This must be right after he left Tygers of Pan Tang.
