Thin Lizzy - The Rocker (Official Audio)

Thin Lizzy - The Rocker
2023 sees the 50th anniversary of what is widely regarded as Thin Lizzy’s breakthrough album ‘Vagabonds Of The Western World’ featuring their first UK top ten single ‘Whiskey In The Jar’ and ‘The Rocker’ which would go on to be one of the band’s signature tunes.

To celebrate the album’s golden anniversary, deluxe CD and LP sets featuring rarities, radio sessions, unreleased music, rare photos, extensive sleevenotes, and memorabilia will be released on 17th November. The reissue suite also includes the album remixed in Dolby Atmos, a first for any Thin Lizzy record.

I am your main man if you're looking for trouble
I take no lip, no one's tougher than me
I'd kicked your face, you'd soon be seeing double
Hey little girl, keep your hands off of me

I'm a rocker
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller too, baby
I'm a rocker

Down at the juke joint me and the boys were stompin'
Bippin' an' boppin' and telling a dirty joke or two
In walked this chick and I knew she was up for something
And I kissed her right there out of the blue

I said "Hey baby, meet me I'm a tough guy
Got my cycle outside, you wanna try?"
She just looked at me and rolled them big eyes
And said, "Ooh, I'd do anything for you, 'cause you're a rocker"

That's right
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller too, honey
I'm a rocker

I love to rock and roll
I get my records at the ‘Rock On’ stall
Rock and roll
Teddy boy, you got them all, oh, woah, oh, woah, oh

R-ock-er
I love to rock and roll
I get my records at the ‘Rock On’ stall
Sweet rock and roll
Teddy boy, you got them all, oh, woah, oh woah

I'm a rocker

Im always pissed off when this gets played on the radio and they cut Eric's guitar solo for the radio edit. People should be able to hear the quality of his playing he contributed so much to the early Lizzy sound.
Fantastic player I never tire of early Lizzy ⚡🤘🎸

The man was a real Rockin Rolla. While researching Phil I came across a live performance where he was wearing a shiny black eye ha.
