Phil Lynott - Borderline

Midnight in the big city
At the bar drinking all on my own
Just thinking about that girl and me
How something's going wrong
Mister, tell me, what's my saving grace?
The back room boys
Were all telling me
I'm a borderline case
Back on the borderline one more time
Seven beers and still sober
It's time to change to something stronger
I cannot take this scene no longer
She could have told me it's all over
Back in my home town
The old place is still the same
But time can cast a spell over something
You can't go back again
Back on the borderline one more time
Mister, fill me another
Till I go crazy and it turn my mind around
Just pass that bottle one more time
And slowly drink it down
Jeanie can I tell you?
The shame of my disgrace
It's just love or rejection
For this borderline case
Back on the borderline one more time
I'm on my bended knees crawling
I'm begging you darling

Met Philo when I was about 12 years of age at Sutton Cross back when he lived in the Burrow road. I Blackman and a black kid chatting outside the old Keogh's shop. Lovely fella and so nice! The next time I saw him was at the very same place on the doorstep of Keogh's Sutton Cross, watching his Hearse drive by as it headed up to St. Fintins graveyard 😢
