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.

Call The Police Lyrics
Thin Lizzy
Uh
Betty was worried about the lover that she has married
And she didnt know what to do
Hed been hit by a hammer on the head and he lay dead
An all her worst fears had come true
{chorus}
Call the police
Call the police
Call the police
Call the police
Johnny was a joker and a very heavy smoker
And he never ever broke the law
Thin miss lizzy was a-kept very busy
And sometimes very dizzy, we knew what for
{repeat chorus}
And take em all away
Lock em up

Louie was a loner and a big time al capone-er
Doin all his dipping from the door
He knew a shady dealer who had done a dirty dj,
The sooner he could even the score
{repeat chorus}
And lock em up
Help ya have a birthday, say
Take em all away
