Lyrics & Information

Taken from the brilliant 'Shades of a Blue Orphanage' album. This features the signature yet unusual 3/4 shuffle timing which Lizzy employed on quite a few of their early songs. Great song that charts the sorrows of an alchoholic father that loves his wife very much, but can't help feeling depressed all the same. Yet still understands the importance of the love in his life.

Lyrics :-

I was seldom sober, in nineteen hundred and fifty-four

Hey baby, maybe 'cause my baby had a baby by me

And I was still drinking dry gin

While you cried no no more

And you were lyin' and a cryin',

And your tears fell dying on the floor

And I'm brought down,

And I don't think I can get up again

Brought down

And my heart is dead again

Brought down

Brought down

Brought down

What a fine lady in the early mornings

That always painted her toes

Lookin' toward the east

You'd say hello to the early dawn before they rose

And you were the lovely lady

That always hung up her finely pressed clothes

And sayin' so long to the western sundown

You taught me how it grows

And I'm brought down,

And I don't think I can get up again,

Brought down,

And you just hurt my heart again

Brought down

Brought down

I'm brought down!

[Superb bass and electric guitar fill with solo]

(Brought down)

(Brought down)

(Brought down)

I'm brought down

And I don't think I can get up again

I'm brought down

I'm hurt, It's bad!

God, it's a shame that there's no more Dr Strangely Strange!

And I'm brooooought down

Nothing worse before to life then this!

This song is so real and awesome.,.,.So much emotion. This type of emotion is missing in today's music. Its like your right there involved with the woman that broke his heart. Unbelievable! "Honesty is no Excuse" is another emotional song by the these guys. The guitarist during this time was Eric Bell and i think he was way ahead of his time and the most creative out of the Thin Lizzy guitarists. He is the original guitarist.

Cannot say it better myself. Actually. I went onto some reviews of Neil Youngs amazing 'Harvest' album. The same idiots had put bad comments about it. Seriously critics are meant to give opinions based on the measure of great music only, NOT on their own misgivings. That is not a critic.

This song is so beautiful. The guitar line is stunning. The lyrics are amazing. Anybody who says this album is bad needs to rethink things. This song, "Buffalo Gal," and "Chatting Today" are all incredible songs (of my favorite in Thin Lizzy's catalogue). So what if it's not "hard"...hard emotion is way harder than distorted guitar anyway...

Me neither. Please dont believe the reviews. To be honest its like a Metal fan going to a Slow Rock gig. They are biased from the outset. These websites only base their reviews on the masses and how much the album sold, not the quality.
