AC/DC - 'Jailbreak' (1976 London Clip)

There was a friend of mine on murder
And the judge's gavel fell
Jury found him guilty
Gave him sixteen years in hell
He said "I ain't spending my life here
I ain't livin' alone
Ain't breakin' no rocks on the chain gang
I'm breakin' out and heading home"
Gonna make a (jailbreak)
And I'm looking towards the sky
I'm gonna make a (jailbreak)
Oh, how I wish that I could fly

All in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
Got to be free

(Jailbreak), let me outta here
(Jailbreak), sixteen years
(Jailbreak), had more than I can take
(Jailbreak)

He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with
By another man
She was down and he was up
Had a gun in his hand
Bullets started flying everywhere
People start to scream
Big man lyin' on the ground
With a hole in his body
Where his life had been

But it was all in the name of liberty
All in the name of liberty
I got to be free

(Jailbreak)
(Jailbreak)
I got to break out
Out of here

Heartbeats, they were racing
Freedom, he was chasin'
Spotlights, sirens
Rifles firing
But he made it out

...with a bullet in his back

Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak
Jailbreak, jailbreak

Το τραγούδι των AC/DC "Jailbreak" μας γυρίζει πίσω στο 1976. Ηχογραφήθηκε τον Ιανουάριο και κυκλοφόρησε (ως single) τον Ιούνιο εκείνου του έτους. Στην δεύτερη πλευρά του βινυλίου απαντάμε το μουσικό κομμάτι "Fling Thing" (σε Αυστραλία και Μεγάλη Βρετανία) και το "Show Business" (στις ΗΠΑ).

Μετά από τρεις μήνες (20 Σεπτεμβρίου 1976) αποτέλεσε (και) μέρους του δίσκου "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" (το ένατο και τελευταίο τραγούδι). Τέλος, το "Jailbreak" to βρίσκουμε και στο (πέντε τραγουδιών) ep "'74 Jailbreak" που "βγήκε" το φθινόπωρο του 1984...
