Fighting, 1975
Written by Phil Lynott
This guy in this song's had some hard times. He's sick, unsure, in a real state, there's nothing in his past that's a shining exemplar of good decisions. Maybe he drank himself to sleep too many nights. But he's not giving up! "I'm tough, rough, ready and I'm able / To pick myself up from under this table." This song is a thundering rocker, a cross between Springsteen and AC/DC (the latter especially in the beginning chant of "fight!"). Lyrically, it's got the mix of self-deprecation and bombast of both those acts, and musically, it's a double-guitar anthem with wah-wah strumming and drummer Brian Downey's assured groove.
