Out in the Fields

About Out in the Fields

"Out in the Fields" is a single by former Thin Lizzy band members Gary Moore and Phil Lynott, released in 1985. The song is about the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The song is reminiscent of the sound of their band and is influenced by both artists' wide musical palettes. It performed well critically as well as commercially, reaching No.3 in the Irish Singles Chart and No.5 on the UK Singles Chart, the highest positions either of the two ever reached in their solo careers and the highest UK singles chart position of Lynott's entire career - both with and without Thin Lizzy. "Out in the Fields" was also one of the last recordings made by Phil Lynott before his death on 4 January 1986. more »

It doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference if you're black or if you're white
All men are equal till the victory is won
No color or religion ever stopped a bullet from a gun

Out in the fields the fighting has begun
Out on the streets, they're falling one by one
Out from the skies a thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

It doesn't matter if you're left or to the right
Don't try to hide behind the cause for which you fight
There'll be no prisoners taken, well the day is done
No flag or uniform ever stopped a bullet from a gun

Out in the fields the fighting has begun
Out on the streets, they're falling one by one
Out from the skies a thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

There's no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
Have fallen on deaf ears again

Out, out, out, out, out
Out in the fields, out in the fields
Out in the fields

They are falling one by one
No flag has ever stopped a bullet from a gun
Death is just a heartbeat away, a heartbeat away
Death is just a heartbeat away, a heartbeat away

The fighting has begun
They're falling one by one
A thousand more will die each day, out
Out in the fields, out
