Gallagher, Rory - Bad Penny Lyrics






Well, like a bad penny you've turned up again,
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens.
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell,
Well, you double-dealed me, baby and I broke like a shell.
Like a bad penny you've sure lost the glow
But I'm out of reach, your smile's sure gone cold.
Well, it can't ever be like it was then,
Well, don't you fool with me, baby,
Don't you mess with my plans.

Some stormy nights, your memory haunts me,
You won't go away.

Well, like a bad penny you have turned up in the change,
Try to fit into the picture, you can't get inside the frame.
I think you know I'm still sore, but I'm on the mend,
Times sure have changed, it won't happen again.

Well, like a bad penny spins around and around,
Well, you won't know what's gone wrong when it all falls down,
You got to learn from now on to stop playing games,
You ought to keep on moving, you got to spin on your way.

Some lonely nights, I hear you calling,
Won't you go away?

Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again,
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens.
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell,
Well, you double-dealed me, baby, I cracked like a shell.

Gallagher, Rory Bad Penny Comments
  1. B.... 6....

    At the time I post this 258 people have publicly admitted they have zero sense of what good music or a legendary artist is. Which makes me wonder why they are even here. I don't go and dislike an artist's video I don't like.I don't go there to begin with. I guess it's the same as in real life; the people who think they know everything and want you to know it - know nothing.

  2. j.... m....

    Great comment Mano, Fire's the right word, Rory had a belly full of it, that and attitude. ✌

  3. M.... W....

    Almost 2020 and this is still more "fire"then most of the bs people play now

  4. J.... P....

    Can't believe I'm just getting into this guy, amazing.

    J.... P....

    Hope you're enjoying him, that and your pipe. 😁

    J.... P....

    @jak mak absolutely 👍

  5. D.... B....

    Greeks?

    D.... B....

    They'll be along shortly, probably busy watching Moonchild or Shodowplay somewhere else, big respect to the Greeks 🇮🇪 🇬🇷

  6. J.... C....

    Y’all can disagree with me and that’s fine, but Rory Gallagher is the greatest musician of the century. True Master of the Stratocaster, he’s a savage on the mandolin and he can play some serious delta blues and brought a lot of it back in the 70s he’s simply a legend.

    J.... C....

    You can't really say ... is the best because music is really just about opinions.The only thing which can be better or worse are the lyrics but that's all.

    J.... C....

    Don't forget the saxophone and harmonica also, plus that voice.

  7. E.... N....

    Rory wanted the music not the ratings

  8. V.... P....

    Simply Fantástic is Song 🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊

  9. D.... D....

    Great song

    Rory the best👍👍👍

  14. S.... K....

    who is that playing 2nd guitar at the end?\

    S.... K....

    This man lived his whole life being in love with his guitar. He never married someone or had children, even if he has been in serious relationships. His real love was his guitar 😶

  56. p.... g....

    Such an embarassment that i only started hearing Rory's songs in the last 3 days. I am a lover of rock music and to all his fans, just happy to say that i finally got into his music and enjoying it thoroughly. RIP Rory great music always finds new listeners

  60. J.... Z....

    Rory the best!

  61. D.... V....

    He was amazing period!!

  62. j.... b....

    The very great Rory Gallagher was my teacher/my adviser/ my leader/ the man who I took noticed of/ the man kept me on the straight and narrow, the man who along with his Celtic brother Phil Lynott gave me the very best music to listen and the greatest gigs I ever saw, Thanks a million Rory & Phil

  63. M.... T....

    Omg... my ears ✨💫

  64. M.... T....

    Wow 🎸❤️

  65. g.... n....

    A lot of Hendrix in thete, eh?

  67. M.... T....

    0:45
    Is this riff legal?

  68. S.... M....

    This man is not criminally underated. Although I understand your admiration of Saint Rory. You should try to go to Bally Shannon blues festival it difficult to move for people who are fans of Saint Rory.

  69. O.... F....

    A hero of the past.....his music lives forever

  70. J.... L....

    ΜΕΓΑΛΕ RORY GALLAGHER!!

  72. E.... M....

    Well, like a bad penny you've turned up again
    You're in my sights
    There's a mist on my lens
    I think you know how it was
    When I tripped and fell
    Well, you double-dealed me, baby
    And I broke like a shell, hey
    Like a bad penny you've sure lost the glow
    But I'm out of reach
    Your smile's sure gone cold
    Well, it can't ever be like it was then
    Well, don't you fool with me, baby
    Don't you mess with my plans, hey

    Some stormy nights
    Your memory haunts me
    You won't go away

    Well, like a bad penny you
    Have turned up in the change
    Try to fit into the picture
    You can't get inside the frame
    I think you know I'm still sore
    But I'm on the mend
    Times sure have changed
    It won't happen again


    Well, like a bad penny spins around and around
    Well, you won't know what's gone wrong
    When it all falls down
    You got to learn from now on
    To stop playing games
    You ought to keep on moving
    You got to spin on your way

    Some lonely nights
    I hear you calling
    Won't you go away?

    Well, like a bad penny you
    Have turned up again
    You're in my sights
    There's a mist on my lens
    I think you know how it was
    When I tripped and fell
    Well, you double-dealed me, baby
    I cracked like a shell

  73. t.... ....

    They should make a film about Rory's life with James McAvoy playing lead role.

    t.... ....

    This is an idea whose time may have come! Title(?): Against the Grain

    t.... ....

    @Critical Bill Good one. Or perhaps "Shadow play" or "A million miles away". Or "Do you read me?" or "For the last time".

  74. J.... S....

    OH.MY.FUCKING.GODDDD..... Where has THIS been all my life?? This is a total masterpiece!! Rory was a rock god!!!

  88. j.... b....

    Any of the very best top hard rocking bands with lorry loads of the most expensive equipment and with a road crew and technicians of 350 people would have loved to play with the sound that Rory and his little band of 2 or 3 other players were able to produce live on stage.

    Who in their right mind can dislike this man and his music...
