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.

Dancing In The Moonlight Lyrics
Thin Lizzy
When i passed you in the doorway
You took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus home
But i asked you for a dance
Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
My father he's going crazy
Say's i'm living in a trance
But i'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's alright, alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On the long hot summer night
It's three o'clock in the morning
And i'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten
Now i won't get out until sunday
I'll have to say i stayed with friends
But it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end
