SongFacts: Written by group leader Phil Lynott, "The Boys Are Back In Town" reflects Thin Lizzy's rough-and-tumble composure and working-class roots. The song was a way of connecting with their fans, who had similar sensibilities. Thin Lizzy would often stir up trouble and end up in fights - their roadies were chosen based in part on their pugilistic skills. The group also drank heavily and had a blast. The song became their calling card. This lifestyle took a tragic toll on Lynott, who died in 1986 at 36 after his body broke down from years of drug and alcohol abuse. Folks in Manchester, England, will tell you "The Boys Are Back In Town" is about the Quality Street Gang, a criminal enterprise not unlike the Mafia. Phil Lynott spent much of his youth in Manchester, where his mom ran a club called the Showbiz. The QSG would often hang out there, always "dressed to kill" (they were so named because of their fashion sense).

A key member of the gang was Jimmy "The Weed" Donnelly, the subject of a song on Thin Lizzy's next album called "Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed." The Dino's Bar And Grill mentioned in the song is probably a real place, but which one is up for debate. Deno's was a Manchester nightclub the Quality Street Gang would frequent; Dino's Lodge was a Hollywood cabaret with a Dean Martin theme (Martin was a business partner). It shows up in the opening credits of the TV series 77 Sunset Strip. Drink would flow at both establishments, but if you're looking for a place where blood would spill, it was definitely Deno's.

I just visited Phils grave a few weeks back. Good to see fresh flowers on there and notes, drawings from fans. He's still missed.

Between "The Boys Are back In Town" "The Cowboy Song" and "Jailbreak" Thin Lizzy had a string of hits and had a large dedicated following for many years. Many fans still, great live band.

BJ flashes that smirk when “ if the boys wanna fight you better let ‘em” line pops off. 😂. Every real dudes favorite line

[dawggirl]

My older brother and his friends would play this song driving back home from college, Athens Ga to Atlanta. So I always associate this song with him. Perfect road trip song!

[BrandonTharphorrortownusa]

easily one of the greatest bands of all time.

[xJRx]

Phil Lynott was unlike any artist we've seen. Singer, songwriter, arranger, bassist, Phil was the total package and I miss this man and his talent immensely.

[ZigRox]

Back in the late 70s we play this when we were pre-gaming for clubbin'. Try Whisky in the Jar also by Thin Lizzy! Love ya both!

[dollyjeanstevens]

One of the best bands ever, lyrics, delivery, voice and guitar solos.

[antonytheolddog]

I hope you get to read this Asia and BJ.
This song is about gangsters from here in Manchester England in the 60's and 70's
They were called the quality street gang, named after a Tin of confectionery/candy. my sister lived next door in failsworth north side of town, he was called Jimmy swords (for obvious reasons).
I actually laid a carpet for him in a bedroom.
He was a old dude by then, hell I'm old now.lol
But they are legendary around here.
They even ran the krays out of town.
Nobody messed with them.

And where had they been to 'be back in town'..
Spain ...they were laying low in Marbella Spain..

Oh and Phil lynott was a Irish black kid here in Manchester and they befriended him.
And of course..no body around moss side said a cross words to Phil..


Welcome to Manchester..😎🤘🙏

I was a young iron worker when this was popular. Always on the road hanging iron. Winter months brought us back home.

[chrissemones]

Emerald, Cowboy Song, are 2 fantastic Thin Lizzy songs. Phil Lynott was a amazing Irish vocalist. RIP Phil gone to soon 😢💔🙏🏻

[jesusgarcia-xfge]

Loved Phil. Soulful vocalist. Great band. Gary Moore also played with Thin Lizzy.

[ericnelson]

You guys ABSOLUTELY NEED to watch the live performance video of these guys playing song! You can get into the song so much more and see who's who when seeing them actually play this!!

[tvgator]

This was one of the few lucky groups that featured TWO lead guitarists. Phil Lynott was massively underrated. You should check out his story; he was also unique as a proud black Irish rock star.
