THINGS AIN’T WORKING OUT DOWN AT THE FARM As recorded by Thin Lizzy (1971 single release) [Verse 1] There goes Moses carrying his Bible book Never has a problem just has a cup It’s good clean alcohol and it fills you up And here I go laughing like a fool yeah [Chorus] Things ain’t working out down at the farm Got no bag or baggage or love to keep me warm And I ain’t been in trouble since the day I was born N.C. Things ain’t working out down at the farm [Verse 2] I used to spend my sunny days supping aways Along came gogarty and he put me away Down at the station was kept for strays And I went laughing geez he like busting me he liked busting me [Chorus] Things ain’t working out down at the farm Got no bag or baggage or love to keep me warm And I ain’t been in trouble since the day I was born N.C. Things ain’t working out down at the farm [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Things ain’t working out down at the farm Got no bag or baggage or love to keep me warm And I ain’t been in trouble since the day I was born N.C. Things ain’t working out down at the farm [Bridge] He caught me unawares and he made me strip naked Oh I was scared oh I was scared I was shaking And he said N.C. It’s you and me And me and you N.C. And me and me And you and you And me and me And I just kept laughing like a fool yeah Things ain’t working out down at the farm [Chorus] Things ain’t working out down at the farm Got no bag or baggage or love to keep me warm And I ain’t been in trouble since the day I was born [Outro] Things ain’t working out down at the farm

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un sentiment de désillusion et d'abandon, racontant la vie d'un individu aux prises avec des problèmes au sein d'un environnement rural. Le protagoniste, tout en s’amusant, semble manquer de réconfort et de liens affectifs. Il décrit des interactions qui le mettent dans des situations difficiles, mais conserve un certain humour face à ses mésaventures. Le contexte pourrait se situer dans une époque où la vie à la ferme est marquée par des défis simples mais pesants, symbolisant un retour à des réalités plus brutales ou une quête de sens dans un cadre quotidien. Les références à des figures comme Moïse et des moments d'humour trahissent une légèreté apparente, cachant un malaise plus profond.
