Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Thin Lizzy or about the 1970s in general.
Cocky Rocky, the rock and roll star
He’s got the talent to take him far
Started out playing hotel bars
Cocky Rocky, the rock and roll star
Spent his time just looking for kicks
Whipping out them tricks to pull the chicks
Just have a chance every way he rips
Come on Rocky take me into the night
The neon streets are shining bright
To all them queens you bring the light
That cocky Rocky
His belt is so tight
Hits the stage, the show begins
Dressed in black to make him thin
The speed they flash and when he grins
Sail away Rocky and nobody sings (?)
Come on Rocky and throw the dice
You threw it once, now throw it twice
Heavy boys, they want a slice
They paid their money, they want a choice
Cocky Rocky, the rock and roll star
He’s got the talent to take him far
And all he needs is that old guitar
Cocky Rocky, the rock and roll star
