THIN LIZZY LYRICS
"Waiting For An Alibi" (1979 Single)
1. Waiting For An Alibi
2. With Love
1. Waiting For An Alibi
Valentino got a booky shop
And what he takes he gives for what he's got
And what he's got he says he has not
Stole from anyone
It's not that he don't tell the truth
Or even that he misspends his youth
It's just that he holds the proof
But you know that something's wrong
Waiting for an alibi
"
"
"
Valentino's in a cold sweat
Placed all his money on that last bet
Against all the odds he smokes another cigarette
Says it helps him to forget he's a nervous wreck
It's not that he misses much
Or even that he lost his lucky touch
It's just he gambles so much
And you know that's it wrong
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting just to catch your eye
Waiting
Trying to say I told you, I told you
Valentino got nowhere to go
On his own like Romeo
Blow by blow he watches his money go
Now he's oh so low
It's not that he misses her
Or even that he can't resist her
It's just that kissing her
He feels so strong
Waiting for an alibi
2. With Love
It's a tedious existence laying your love on the line
Resistance is useless she can leave at any time
I must confess that in my quest I felt depressed and restless
But this Casanova's roving days are over more or less
With love
She broke my heart and made me sad
You foolish boy you lost what you had
My Mademoiselle I must make my farewell
You see Senor I know she don't want me no more
I'd like to make that Fraulein mine, mein Fraulein
So I'll depart sweetheart and leave you with this line
With love
She says she won't be back no more
With love
She says she's leaving for sure
My Mademoiselle I'll say farewell
No matter where you are, Au Revoir
'Til we meet again, Auf Wiedersehn
She wrote it on a letter
But it didn't make him feel any better
With love
She says goodbye, adios, farewell
There are those who will spend a lifetime of leisure
'Til the leisure finally takes control
And they'll spend their life in search of pleasure
Never knowing the treasure that they own
There are those who will spend a lifetime in hard labour
'Til the labour breaks both body and soul
And they will learn to love their neighbor
And be assured of what they own
