Bad Reputation Lyrics
You got a bad reputation
That's the word out on the town
It gives a certain fascination
But it can only bring you down
You better turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down
Turn yourself around
You had bad breaks well that's tough luck
You play too hard too much rough stuff
You're too sly so cold
That bad reputation has made you old
Turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down
Turn yourself around
That's the word out on the town
It gives a certain fascination
But it can only bring you down
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down
Turn yourself around
You play too hard too much rough stuff
You're too sly so cold
That bad reputation has made you old
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down
Turn yourself around

Phil Lynott wrote the song about Brian Robertson, one of the guitarists in the band at the time.
Generally rumoured to be about Brian Robertson , mostly by Robo himself.
I prefer to think its about George best. Phil was huge united fan.
