Thin Lizzy: Waiting for an Alibi
Valentinos got a booky shop and what he takes
He gives for what hes got
And what hes got he says he has not
Stolen from anyoneIts not that he dont tell the truth
Or even that he misspent his youth
Its just that he holds the proof
But you feel theres something wrongWaiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibiValentinos in a cold sweat, placed all his money on that last bet
Against the odds he smokes another cigarette
Says that it helps him to forget
That he's a nervous wreckIts not that he misses much
Or even that he's lost his lucky touch
Its just that he gambles so much
And you know that its wrongWaiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting just to catch your eye
Waiting for an alibiWaiting for an alibi
Try to say I told you I told youWaiting for an alibi
Waiting just to get you
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
To say I told you
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi.
I dedicate this song to all those who are gambling with health, and I mean certain people in the medical profession treating patients lives as a game.
In my case, a professional medic who treated my life as a joke!!!!!
I would add that 99.9% of the medical staff are brilliant, and work their guts out to save people, and indeed the good NHS staff saved my life, for which I owe my life of gratitude...just a pity some disregard the value of life and the merit of their own profession.
Great song. I just got one of their last tours on dvd. Good comment about the NHS. It is easy to blame the staff for the incompetence of the system, though some individuals (like humans everywhere)could do more. Hope you have a good weekend.
