For what it's worth, thinlizzyguide.com lists this tracks credits as 1982, Lynott/Sykes, unreleased demo. www.thinlizzyguide.com/Songs/a_z/rare_songs.htm My thoughts: Too Lizzy for The Philip Lynotf Album, too mellow to go on Thunder & Lightning, to me this sounds like it could have been suitable as a B-side to Killer On The Loose, and it also seems to remind me of S&M from Black Rose. To sum up, it seems like Mr. Lynott wrote this song in a spare moment much earlier than 1982. Mr. Sykes played on it with Mr. Lynott and a drum machine as an experiment which was destined for the vaults. Who knows, maybe a completed take could have worked as a B-side to a single issue of Bad Habits or Baby Please Don't Go.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIqQpYZjrbpmpbM. listen to this version. Same song but still so different. I strongly believe this could replace this is the one from T&L. This song live would be absolutely crazy. Imagine this after like Jailbreak or Waiting for an alibi with the bass intro. Without any hesitation I would pick this over This is the one and on a good day bad habits.

Was this recorded during the "Please Dont Leave Me" sessions. Apparently there were a few demos recorded besides the single. This might be one of them

[@eelecurb]

The main guitar riff and vocal effects are similar to the song Bad Habits from Thunder and Lightning. I'd agree this is a Phil/John Sykes demo.

[@timfisher6805]

Great point. And I love that song. In the top six Lizzie songs for me.

[@timfisher6805]

Very similar bridge too, seems to me.

[@nathueil1]

Now im really scratchin my head because that intro sounds damn near identical to .38 Specials Somebody Like You.

[@FrozenHero2010]

I wonder if this is a Grand Slam demo?

[@cornytoad]

Sounds like from the Chinatown era!

[@ofdoubtsandgod]

I don't think this is Brian Downey playing drums - sounds like a drum machine/program...Has none of Brian's characteristics! - until the triplets in the middle! (These could be programed too and if Phil did it then he'd be influenced by Brian's playing!)...

[@antoniopax6155]

ofdoubtsandgod no, it is not Brian Downey. As you said a drum machine, just a demo.

[@MrWhito]

@ofdoubtsandgod is possible, I do not know ...

[@nomisslade]

whats the story with this ?

[@Nk-zd3xj]

This demo was worked on before Lynott and Sykes began the Thunder and Lightning sessions according to Alan Byrne in his book “Are You Ready?” Pg. 207.
