Thin Lizzy - Fool's Gold / 1976

Lyrics :-

In the year of the famine
When starvation and black death raged across the land
There were many driven by their hunger to set sail for the Americas

In search for a new life and a new hope
Oh but there were some that couldn't cope
And they spent their life in search of fools gold

The old prospector
He makes it to the four lane highway
His old compadre
He lays dead in the sand

With outstretched hands he cries are you going my way
The people passing by didn't seem to understand

Fools gold x 4

Broken Joe just lying in a gutter
He's gone as low as any man can be
He calls for wine but they'll only serve him water
The bartender say we dont sell sympathy

He tells a strange story
About his father
How Sunday mornings they'd go down
To the church on the corner

As time grows older
His thoughts they grow younger
It is his wish
To search no longer for fools gold

Fools gold x 4
(Oh you keep on searching)
Hey!

[Guitar solo]

The vulture sits on top
Of the big-top circus arena
He's seen this show before
Knows someone's going to fall

Just near the part
Where the beautiful dancing tightrope ballerina
Forgets the safety net
Isn't there at all

Down he swoops with claws drawn to take her
Razor sharp so savagely is she mauled
Oh my god, is there no one who can save her?
In steps the Fox to thunderous applause

Fools gold x 4
(You better believe it)
Ohh
