Thin Lizzy - Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed [HQ] '76

Lyrics & Information :-

Since SHAYMCN2's account is closed, will be uploading a couple of his vids for the benefit of us fans. This comes from Thin Lizzy's awesome album 'Johnny The Fox'.

Lyrics :-

Johnny the Fox!
He called to Jimmy the Weed
He said "Hey man, I know your name"
I seen you cruising with the low riders
Hanging out down on First street and Main

Tuned into and listenin' to,
The Voodoo Rhythm Devils
Around the Bay
They've got some crazy DJs
Send you right out to heaven

Jimmy the Weed for greed he was taken aback
Johnny the Fox you old sly cat!
Cleverly the Fox concealed his stash
Crisp dollar bills can leave no tracks

In the back of a black cadillac
The voodoo music travels
Down Skid Row only black men can go
A shady deal unravels

Johnny the Fox, had to hustle
Jimmy the Weed he won't use no muscle
That cat's so sly, slick and subtle
Johnny the Fox breaks out the bottle!

Tuned into and listening to
The Voodoo Rhythm Devils
The beating drum for the lonely one
Sends you right out to heaven
Right out to heaven
[Is that real cocaine or is it speed?]

This was THEE moment when Thin Lizzy had officially become the greatest band in the world. The brainwashed of the world had the stones and the eagles and every other "money first" group that was forced upon them by corporate radio. Thin Lizzy was on a plane that cut through the board room mandates, and for those with ears, only they could hear the sound of greatness.

@originalpotatojunkie You hit the nail on the head dead on. I'm in the same boat with the listening kick. Sometimes I feel myopic, then I say "Fuck it, one more time!"

@thamesclipper: I commend your impeccable taste in music! Borderline is my favorite song ever and RATLG isn't far behind. Long Live Phil Lynott.

@SuperMelita9

Dies with Phil. No one after have the talent to play and write something like this.

[Peterthe4th1]

Did anybody know that this song was about the Quality Street gang in Manchester

Lizzy on a run, summer 76 they bring out the album Jailbreak, nothing can touch this until November, same year, Johnny the Fox appears; stand out tracks for me: Romeo and the Lonely Girl from Jailbreak and Borderline from Johnny the Fox, I'd never thought of music as seasonal until these two outstanding albums
