CHATTING TODAY As recorded by Thin Lizzy (From the 1972 Album SHADES OF BLUE ORPHANAGE) [Intro] [Verse 1] I worked for the union and on my very first communion you know it never ever ever ever worked out right So I spent the night sleepin’ on the railway [Verse 2] I worked for the foundry and man my mind it nearly drowned yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah It never it could never work out right So I said "So long amigo. Good night" and slept on the railway [Bridge] The railway there’s no better way ooh the railway And it’s nice to talk to you today [Verse 3] I worked for the miller a very very nice type of fella but I could see that it would never gonna work out right So I split spent the night sleeping on the railway [Vrse 4] I worked in the subway arc oh yeah yeah You know it never no no never no never no ever no worked out right So I said "So long" and spent the night on the railway [Bridge] The railway give me a bottle of whiskey ooh the railway Ooh there’s nothin’ like the railway [Verse 5] And I’d like to thank someone for mascara and good things that I done And for the time ya spent and the friendship begun And most of all starry nights on the railway [Outro] Ooh I don’t know no better way than just ooh lyin’ back an’ drifting away I can hear it I can hear it

La chanson évoque le parcours d'un homme qui, après plusieurs échecs professionnels, trouve refuge et réconfort dans la solitude des voies ferrées. Chaque emploi qu'il a tenté ne se termine jamais bien, et il se voit contraint de dormir à l'extérieur, sur le quai. Malgré les difficultés, il exprime une sorte de nostalgie pour les moments passés, la camaraderie et les belles nuits étoilées, tout en semblant apprécier cette façon de vivre en marge. Le contexte reflète une certaine désillusion par rapport au travail et à la vie quotidienne, mais aussi une acceptation de sa condition. Cette lutte face à l’adversité est couronnée par une sorte de sérénité, où le personnage trouve un sens dans les petites choses, comme un simple dialogue et un verre de whisky, éveillant des souvenirs des moments passés.
