As stated on Jim Fitzpatrick's web site the bands name was inspired by Liz Igoe who lived in Dublin in the 70's. Jim Fitzpatrick was responsible for all the great art work on Thin Lizzy's album covers. I would also like to add all the Igoe women are that good looking! Submitted by: Tom Igoe

Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Rosalie"

Misheard Lyrics:

My tea queen, Rosalie

Original Lyrics:

The teen queen, Rosalie

Story about this misheard lyric by: Clive

I thought it was 'tea queen', because Rosalie is like a Cockney rhyming slang for 'tea' - 'rosy lea' = tea.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Jailbreak"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town

Why They're Nonsensical:

You can imagine a police force somewhere picking up on this and thinking where the jailbreak is going to happen.....the pub? The hospital? The fish n chip shop? Duh!!!!! It might just take place at the local jail.....you don't need to be a rocket scientist to work that one out. And it's not a good idea to boast about having a jailbreak for obvious reasons....

"The Boys Are Back In Town"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place

Why They're Nonsensical:

What does that mean, 'we just fell about the place'? If it means that they fell on the floor laughing when Johnny got slapped, then they should just say so instead of concocting their own slang phrase so that it rhymes with 'face'. Man, my head just hurts about the place when I hear this line.
