Hollywood (Down On Your Luck) [Live (1983)] Lyrics


They say people out in Hollywood
Live their life out in black and white
They're livin' out a Technicolor dream
Next day, they're a star overnightNot like in New York
Man, it's tougher
Not like in London town
Boy, you sufferNobody give a break
When you're down on your luck
Everybody's on the take
When you're down on your luck
You can't make a mistake
When you're down on your luckPeople out in Hollywood
They got a lot of class
You see the boys struttin' down the boulevard
Tryin' to make a pass'Not like in New York
It's high rise, it's concrete and complex
Not like in ol' London town
It reigns down on its subjectsNobody give a damn

When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you're down on your luck
Lady Chance, she won't dance
When you're down on your luckPeople out in Hollywood
They can make it to the stars
They can reach the screen
Drive around in big expensive convertible carsNot like in New York
All you've got is Broadway
Not like in the West end of London
You can't make it no wayNobody give a damn
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you're down on your luck
Lady Chance, she won't dance
When you're down on your luckYou've got to strut your stuff
When you're down on your luck
You can't take it easy, it ain't good enough
When you're down on your luck
Everybody's on the make
When you're down on your luckNobody give a fair deal
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands my Uncle Sam
When you're down on your luck
I'm ready for the dance
When you're down on your luckI gotta make a dollar holler
When you're down on your luck
When you're down on your luck

Thin Lizzy are an Irish hard rock band who formed in Dublin, Ireland in 1969. The band were led throughout their recording career by bassist, songwriter and singer Phil Lynott, and are best known for their songs Whiskey in the Jar, Jailbreak and The Boys Are Back in Town, all major international hits still played regularly on hard rock and classic rock radio stations. After Lynott died, various incarnations of the band have emerged over the years culminating in a more stable line-up based around guitarists Scott Gorham and John Sykes. Sykes left the band in June 2009.
