If there’s one criticism we have against Twitter, is that there’s not enough Thin Lizzy. One Twitter account is trying to remedy that by tweeting all the lyrics to “The Boys Are Back In Town” on repeat.
The InTownAgain account has been going since July, giving equal and careful attention to every word and moment in the song, even the killer guitar solos. In fact, the account highlights how many incredible Thin Lizzy lyrics there are just in this one song! Here are our top 10.
