Lyrics:

The old covent garden
I remeber only too well

The girls a fool
She broke the rule
She hurt him hard
This time you will break down
Shes lost his trust
And so she must
All is lost
The system has broke down

Romance has broke down
This boy is crackin up
This boy has broke down

She plays it hard
She plays it tough
But thats enough
The love is over
Shes broke his heart and that is rough
But in the end youll soon recover

The romance is over
This boy is crackin up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin up
This boy has broke down

Ive been spending my money
In the old town
Its not the same honey
When youre not around
Ive been spending my time
In the old town
I sure miss you honey
Now youre not around
Now youre not around
This old town

Ola
Ola

This boy is crackin up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin up
This boy has broke down
This boy is crackin up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin up
This boy has broke down
This boy is crackin up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin up
This boy has broke down


Observaciones:

A pesar del éxito, gran éxito que disfrutó con Thin Lizzy, Phil Lynott empezó a editar sus discos en solitario 3 años antes de la disolución oficial de la banda irlandesa. Los discos pasaron sin pena, ni gloria y Lynott murió poco después a los 36 años, podre de alcohol y drogas, con varios de sus órganos colapsándose.

La canción presente es lo más reseñable de sus aportaciones en solitario a la música, muchos la reconocereis porque fue versionada con bastante éxito por el grupo de hermanos soft "The Corrs". Old Town es una mezcla de Sonata y Fuga y del Sargent Peppers. Como composición está muy bien lograda y es un tema que podría conseguir elevar a cualquier banda y a su público a los altares en medio de un concierto.
