borderline - thin lizzy - johhny the fox 03

Midnight in the big city
At the bar drinking all on my own
Just thinking about that girl and me
How something's going wrong
Mister, tell me, what's my saving grace?
The back room boys
Were all telling me
I'm a borderline case
Back on the borderline one more time
Seven beers and still sober
It's time to change to something stronger
I cannot take this scene no longer
She could have told me it's all over
Back in my home town
The old place is still the same
But time can cast a spell over something
You can't go back again
Back on the borderline one more time
Mister, fill me another
Till I go crazy and it turn my mind around
Just pass that bottle one more time
And slowly drink it down
Jeanie can I tell you?
The shame of my disgrace
It's just love or rejection
For this borderline case
Back on the borderline one more time
I'm on my bended knees crawling
I'm begging you darling

@sexpistolsdaz could not have said it better.....

[sexpistolsdaz]

The man with the plan Phil Lynott yet again strikes pure gold with this absolute belter of a tune. God most musicians today literally say nothing in their songs bunch of humourless overpaid drips the majority of the "rockers" nowadays. This is the real deal. And I am sure Philo is in heaven playing pool sipping beer and gently " caressing" waiteresses bodacious bum bums. A genius.

I've been a Lizzy fan for many years, favourite band ever, and after years of inner debate I've concluded this to be my favourite Lizzy song (close second is got to give it up). Phil could always paint such vivid pictures with his music and borderline is spot on. I listen to this song whenever I'm depressed, not to make myself feel better, but to make it feel like I have company...

[visionalert]

Such a moving piece. Brings an ocean of swirling feelings up in me.

[MetalStorm96]

How i wish Phil were still alive. One of the greatest men on Earth.

the lyrics are wrong should read : But time can cast its spell over somethings And you can't go back again ...... Just pass that bottle one more time I'm slowly sinking down, down ....... I'm on my hands and knees a crawling I'm begging you darling ...... Another Whiskey baby So please don't leave me just stay __________________ Phil knew how to write them !!!!!
