Thin Lizzy - The Rocker (Live) video free download

Lyrics & Information

This is a spectacular live recording of Thin Lizzy's 'The Rocker' when it was newly released. They were performing it in Golders Green North London at the Hippodrome (roughly seats 3000) for the BBC. I am pretty sure this was video recorded also as it was a television studio as well as venue at the time. I also love this version cos the PA did a great job with the sound levels of Phil's bass. Enjoy!

[Announcer]

Hello again and welcome to another BBC and concert programme from the Hippodrome Golders Green in London. With us for the first time on the concert tonight we've got a band from Ireland who made a lot of new friends with their hit single quite recently. Would you welcome please, Thin Lizzy!

... Well the band are gonna open up in fact with a number I think we can dedicate this one to the front row here because it's called The Rocker!

[Intro]

I am your main man if you're looking for trouble

I'll take no lip no ones tougher than me

If I 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 are stompin'

Bippin' an a boppin', and telling a dirty joke or two

In walked this chick and I knew she was up to something

I kissed her right 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 ya for you're a rocker"

I'm a rocker!

I'm a roller too, honey

I'm a rocker!

I love to rock and roll

Get my records at the Rock On stall

Sweet rock and roll

Teddy boy, he's got them all, look out baby!

[Incredible Eric Bell solo]

I love to rock and roll

I get my records at the Rock On stall

Sweet rock and roll

Teddy boy, he's got them all, oh baby, ow baby!

[Phil]: Thankyou
