King's Call

4 januari. I min värld årets största helgdag. Det är i dag 24 år sedan musikvärldens främste gick bort och denna dag är det naturligtvis bara hans musik i goda vänners lag som gäller.

Den som inte har möjlighet att närvara på något av de hyllningsgig som genomförs runt om i världen kan alltid stanna hemma och hedra Philip Parris Lynott på samma sätt som han själv gjorde när kungen före honom gick bort:

............................................

It was a rainy night
The night the king went down
Everybody was crying
It seemed like sadness had surrounded the town
Me I went to the liquor store
And I bought a bottle of wine and a bottle of gin
I played his records all night
Drinking with a close, close friend

Now some people say that that ain't right
And some people say nothing at all
But even in the darkest of night
You can always hear the king's call
You can always hear the king's call

Well they put him away in Memphis
Six feet beneath the clay
Everybody was crying
Everybody said it was a plain grey day

Me I went to the liquor store
And I bought another bottle of wine and another bottle of gin
I played his records all night
And I got drunk all over again

Now some people say that that ain't right
That ain't right
And some people say nothing at all
I say nothing
But even in the darkest of night
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call

I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
And I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than to go on living without you

Now some people say that that ain't right
And some people say nothing at all I say nothing
But even in the darkest of night
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
You could always hear the king's call
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing here
They might as well bring the curtain down
I cried the night the king died

Att det kommer att spelas Thin Lizzy i Bajens omklädningsrum efter dagens premiärpass med den nya tränarduon ser jag som en självklarhet.

Ha nu alla ett riktigt bra King's Call med hög musik och sval Guinness. Den som vill se och höra den utsålda konserten här i Stockholm kan klicka sig in på www.thekingscall.se och hålla tummarna för att websändningen funkar. Runt 20.30 kliver första bandet på. Skål!
