Phil Lynott - Partner In Crime (1985 Unreleased Solo Track)

This track is another one of those sought after and ultra-rare 1985 unreleased tracks that haven't seen the light of day...until now. This is the "dance-mix" version, but it is likely that other versions also exist (I don't know how many though).

This is also my 299/300th video. I'm sharing the title with the Dumfries '69 Sabbath recording. Fans of both should check that out as well. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Partner In Crime
My partner in crime (partner in crime)
Partner in crime (partner in crime)
A Partner of mine

Partner in blue
You're a crazy fool
She says "I'm lost and alone"
And Sometimes I pray
And I wished you come home
Sometimes I pray
But sometimes I don't
Sometimes I get what I want
But sometimes I won't

And I don't want it to stop
I don't want it to stop
I don't want it to stop

Partner in gray
Ever since that day
She says, "I'm lost and alone (She says)
Your life is a mess (She says)
I wished you'd come home (she says)
Sometimes it gets to me
And sometimes it don't
Sometimes I will...
But sometimes I won't

And I don't want it to stop
I don't want it to stop
I don't want it to stop, no
Partner in crime (My partner in crime)
Partner in crime (Your a partner of mine)
Partner in blue (My partner in blue)
What should I do? (Oh, what should I do)

Partner in crime
He's a friend of mine
Crazy fool
Lost his head
From breaking the rules
Everything's so crazy
Sometimes it's tough
Making me sad
Just ain't good enough

And I don't want it to stop, ohh
I don't want it to stop, ohh
I don't want it to stop, no

Partner in blue...
We're crazy fools...

If anyone can figure out the rest or improve what I have, don't hesitate to let me know. This is just what I thought I heard, and isn't 100% accurate.

It sounds like "Sometimes it gets to me"

[blacksabfan]

I agree. Good ear. Thanks.

[81unnaed81abc]

"Sometimes it's tough

______ it's sad (?)" i think here is "making me sad" ... :-?? but not shure and here: "But sometimes I don't

Sometimes I ______ I want(?)" could be: "sometimes i get all i want" :-??

[blacksabfan]

I think you're pretty close if not exact. The first one is spot on and I think the second one is definitely "sometimes I get what I want". Good ear.

Do you understand the part in the second verse?

[81unnaed81abc]

anyone understands all the lyrics to this song?

[blacksabfan]

I attempted them and posted them in the info. Still needs a little work, but at least it's a start.

ryan youre a hero bro, fuck those RL guys when you post stuff like this it makes me so angry to think theyre holding back so much more amazing music that i'm sure Phil would have released on the third solo record in '86. iv got the passion atm to go over to Ireland at one of the next vibes and tell Philomena about what a bunch of arseholes these people really are. Keep up the good work anyway bro, you know you got our full support!

[ole9872]

[DetroitSquirreL]
