Thin Lizzy - Saga of the Ageing Orphan (Unreleased) video free download
Lyrics & Information
Until 2006 there was 5 tracks that had been hidden in the Lizzy vault that had never been released. Very early studio recordings of some of the later famous and best loved songs. But also 2 tracks 'Mama and Papa' and 'It's Really Worthwhile', that had been recorded but never released officially. Hope you enjoy! These were recorded in Dublin.
This one is my most favourite rendition of Saga because it's just so heartfelt and the piano is incredibly striking on this version.
Lyrics :-
Father and I
Waved goodbye
As we went to look
Uncle Peter was writing
A book
And his mama was starting
To cook
And she's ageing
We had come
In search of one
Who evades us all
Never heeds the call
If only someone could stall
This ageing
So I'll go
And hope and know
That my time is near
Laughing through
The years
Having only
Fear
Of ageing, Of ageing

Beautiful! Always loved the mellowed side of Lynott & Lizzy... Simply gorgeous, and very moving. Always impressed when young 'uns write so eloquently about ageing.13 years ago

i appreciate this as a huge Thin Lizzy fan and I like this one much more than the album version. I can't seem to find "It's Really Worthwhile". I don't know if I'm doing something wrong.15 years ago

Ah, ok! I didn't compare the versions. And yes, this one sounds stripped down compared to the version Thin Lizzy released. Thanks for sharing.15 years ago

This one ain't unreleased. It was released on Thin Lizzy's first studio album recorded in 1971. Trust me, I got it right here tugged underneath my arm. If only someone could stall this ageing. Laughing through the years...15 years ago

Thanks for the high praise soutltank. To be honest, I wouldn't have the motivation to do it if it wasn't for such fans as yourself and everyone else that listens. We all make a contribution to keeping this music alive. And thankyou.16 years ago
