Thin Lizzy was an Irish proto-heavy metal hard rockband formed in 1969, originally as a trio with Eric Bell on guitar and which split in 1983 largely as a consequence of financial trouble and drug excesses. Probably its most famous lineup was that of singer and bassist Phil Lynott, Brian Downeyon drums and Scott Gorhamand Brian Robertsonon lead guitars, while later line-ups featured guitar heroes like Gary Moore( Black Rose), John Sykes( Thunder and Lightning) and Snowy White( Renegade, Chinatown). They are now recognised as one of the pioneers of the dual lead guitar harmony. The band was at its peak during the mid to late 70s, especially following the release of Jailbreakwhich contained their most recognisable track today, "The Boys Are Back In Town". They were particularly famed for their live performances, Lynott's obvious rapport with the fans being a key feature.

Angel From The Coast Lyrics
Thin Lizzy
The sacred heart is bleeding
Go tell the holy ghost
That the junkie is still cheating
To get the thing he needs the most
Lady luck has me covered
Keeping her watchful eyes over me
The lovers are discovered
The charge is first degree
Angel, shes a killer
Just flown in from the coast
Makes the hit, its a winner
Leaves you dead as the post
Sally took to playing poker
The joker is her favorite card
The drunk he cant stay sober
He says its much too hard
Meantime something seedy
Was happening across the hall
Somebody seemed to be groaning
You could hear it through the wall
The cops they came like lightning
The bullets flew astray
The noise it was frightening
The crook he got away
