Jailbreak (BBC Session 12/02/76) - Thin Lizzy

Icy wind of night be gone This is not your domain In the sky a bird was heard to cry Misty morning whisperings And gentle stirring sounds Belied a deathly silence That lay all around Hear the lark and harken To the barking of the dog fox Gone to ground See the splashing Of the kingfisher flashing to the water And a river of green is sliding Unseen beneath the trees Laughing as it passes Through the endless summer Making for the sea In the lazy water meadow I lay me down All around me golden sunflakes Settle on the ground Basking in the sunshine Of a by-gone afternoon Bringing sounds of yesterday Into this city room Hear the lark and harken To the barking of the dog fox Gone to ground See the splashing Of the kingfisher flashing to the water And a river of green is sliding Unseen beneath the trees Laughing as it passes Through the endless summer Making for the sea In the lazy water meadow I lay me down All around me golden sunflakes Covering the ground Basking in the sunshine Of a by-gone afternoon Bringing sounds of yesterday Into my city room Hear the lark and harken To the barking of the dog fox Gone to ground See the splashing Of the kingfisher flashing to the water A river of green is sliding Unseen beneath the trees Laughing as it passes Through the endless summer Making for the sea

The path you tread is narrow And the drop is sheer and very high The ravens all are watching From a vantage point nearby Apprehension creeping Like a tube train up your spine Will the tightrope reach the end Will the final cuplet rhyme And it's high time Cymbaline It's high time Cymbaline Please wake me The lines converging where you stand They must have moved the picture plain The leaves are heavy round your feet You hear the thunder of the train Suddenly it strikes you That they're moving into range And Doctor Strange is always changing size And it's high time Cymbaline It's high time Cymbaline Please wake me

Take a step out of yourself And you turn around Take a look at who you are It's pretty scary So silly It's revolting You're not much If you're anything Take a step outside the city And you turn around Take a look at where you are It is revolting You're really nowhere So wasteful So foolish Poppycock Who said don't look back? Don't believe 'em Go for that crazy sounding restaurant 'Cause they're gonna try and get behind you Don't you let 'em do it You know what I'm talking about? You hear me talking? You hear me talking? It's pretty scary, totally, it's so revolting It's pretty scary, totally, it's so revolting It's pretty scary, totally, it's so revolting It's pretty scary, totally, it's so revolting Take a step out of the country And you turn around Take a look at where you are It is amazing Take a good look You're no big deal You're so petty It's a laugh Take a step outside the planet Turn around and around Take a look at where you are It's pretty scary

Where did you go, Angelina? Why did you take my foolish heart? I should've known, Angelina I was never right for that part I could've sworn, Angelina We would get hitched and you'd be a bitch about Getting us there on time I'd thank the Lord for Angelina Oh, so I guess the wedding I'll never be getting Will live in the back of my mind I never loved you more than when you said goodbye 'Cause maybe I knew that love wasn't honest if you had to lie I never loved you more than when you walked away 'Cause maybe I knew, Angelina, you'd never stay Are you coming home, Angelina? I think I'm done trying to hold on to you I think you should know, Angelina That I'd probably fall again if you wanted me to And she said I love you so I said it back But I wished she was you

I see chemtrails in the sky, but I don't see the plane What the hell is my problem with taking the blame? 'Cause I play with my food and then someone else takes it away It's so hard to believe, but I'm trying to change I see lines in the sand, but I don't see who made them I still listen to that band that you showed me last April I still play with my food, I'm a child at the grown-up's table It's so hard to believe, but right now I feel stable I moved away and I grew a few inches What a shame I had a chance and I missed it And there are some days when I hear that song And I hate to admit it But I miss it, I do Oh, I miss it, I miss you Oh, I miss it, I miss it, I miss you Oh, oh Oh, I miss it, I miss it, I miss you I see chemtrails in the sky, but I don't see the plane I know that I feel it, but I don't know the name I play with my food, and then I throw it away So hard to believe I have to grow up this way I moved out and I made some new friends Sometimes when I shout, it feels like no one hears it And there are some days when I think that somewhere you're watching As I grow up without you I miss it, I miss you (Here is Elizabeth eating a big snack after being in the shower for 15 minutes) I miss it, I miss you (she's famished, can you tell?) (Say goodnight) (Goodnight)

Why am I pulled to you? And why does it never feel like I'm finished talking When we're finished talking? Why am I pulled to you? And why does it never feel right To not pick up when you're calling? You know me so well Even if you don't know my favorite type of cereal You know me so well Even though we're both different people now It's stupid, it's so stupid to miss you like this I feel stupid, so stupid to miss you like this 'Cause I told you to go and you went Oh, what did I expect? So it's stupid, it's stupid, I know that it's stupid To love you But I can't help it Mmm, I can't help it I can't help it How did we get here? It makes no sense, but it feels like A sign from God That I keep ignoring How did we get to this place we're in? It makes no sense, but it feels right And maybe that's God I probably shouldn't ignore him You know me so well Even if you don't know my favorite type of cereal You know me so well Even if you don't know I don't believe in God anyhow But it's stupid, it's so stupid to miss you like this I feel stupid, so stupid to miss you like this 'Cause I told you to go and you went Oh, what did I expect? So it's stupid, it's stupid, I know that it's stupid To love you But I can't help it
