Funny joke! Where's there gonna be a jailbreak in this town?

'Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town'

Any chance of narrowing that down?

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town

Me, I would check the jailhouse first.

Even though I love the song "Jailbreak" by Thin Lizzy, the opening always makes me roll my eyes:

"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak,
Somewhere in this town..."

Umm, perhaps at the jailhouse?

Thin Lizzy -

"There's gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in the town tonight!"

Errm that would be the jail then?

"Tonight theres going to be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town"
Try the jail Phillo.

Thin Lizzy "Tonight theres going to be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town"
Tip-off, probably close to the jail.

Almost as good as Phil Lynott's classic lyric to Jailbreak:

"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town"

Like... at the jail, maybe?

From Thin Lizzy, an invaluable source for lame lyrics:

"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in the town" (presumably at the jail).: Jailbreak

"Tonight, there's gonna be a jailbreak... somewhere in the town"

Maybe at, I don't know, the jail?

Not a factual error as such, but a curious lack of precision in Thin Lizzy's 'Jailbreak'...

"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town"

Er, at the jail perhaps?

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in the town (presumably at the jail).

"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town......"

.........like maybe the jail?

Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak

"tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in the town". Somewhere??? I would guess it's going to be at the jailhouse!!

I tend not to notice lyrics unless they're really good, or really bad, but I always cringe when I hear "Jailbreak" by Thin Lizzy: "Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak; somewhere in the town" (presumably at the jail).

"tonight there's going to be a jailbreak somewhere in the town"

- come on Phil have a guess where. No, not WH Smiths', try again.

what about Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy?

"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town"

it's a great song but obviously the jailbreak will happen at the jail so what the hell is he going on about? - iphones?

Thin Lizzy - "Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in the town."
Probably at the jail...:shrug:

Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak. "Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak; somewhere in the town". At the jail, probably.

"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in this town"

Errr... Maybe at the jail?

Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town

Really, Phil? Any clue yet where this jailbreak will happen? It’s a real puzzler, guv.

Honorable mention, as always, to Thin Lizzy:
"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town".

Probably at the jail, I'm thinking.

Thin Lizzy

"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak... somewhere in this town"

Errm... maybe at the jail, perhaps?

“Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town”.

It’s probably happening at the jail Phil, don’t you think?

My friend Mike says the same thing.

Thin Lizzy "Tonight there's going to be a jail break, somewhere in this town." Hmm, somewhere? Try the jail where a jailbreak would most likely be the place for it to happen.

“Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in this town” err... at the prison?

"Somewhere in this town" probably at the jail I am guessing.

Speaking of bad lyrics, how about "tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in the town".

Thats. my friend Mikes joke. Yeah at...the...jail?

Thin Lizzy: Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in this town Try the jail, you know, like, where else would there be a jailbreak?

Thin Lizzy: “Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town “.

Umm, probably at the jail Phil, don’t you think?

Have posted this before, but I find it amusing......

"Tonight there`s gonna be a Jailbreak, somewhere in this town?"

Err, that would probably be at the Jailhouse then, would it Phil? :doh:

Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak - '"There's going to be a jailbreak somewhere in this town" - yeah, maybe at the jail?'

Did they ever figure out exactly where the jailbreak was? I mean other than somewhere in this town?

My guess is it was down by the jail.

"tonight there is going to be a jailbreak somewhere in this town."
That somewhere in this town most likely would be the jailhouse.
not to be a nitpicker, but a better line could be tonight there is a going to be a jailbreak here in town.

“tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in this town….” -probably the jail?

«Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak,
somewhere in this town»

Somewhere in this town? Surely it would be possible to narrow this down a bit. Maybe even to a prison?

Thin Lizzy - «Jailbreak» from the album by the same name.

Maybe the town had more than one jailhouse?

Maybe there's two jails in town....

Phil Lynott lived in a town with several jails, so it wasn't clear

I say we fool 'em and have a jailbreak at the library! They'll never see it coming!

I always assumed there was more than one jail in town. That's why they don't know where it is.

Who says there's only one jail in the town?

Where they came from, there was more than one jain in the town.

Some towns have more than one jail :rolleyes:

They might be singing about jailbreaking an iPhone

Maybe there's more than one jail;)

Yea, but what if Phil lives in a town with more than one jail?

There can be multiple jails.

But he doesn't know where the jail is. It's just "somewhere" in the town.

:biglaugh:

To be fair to Phil, there's more than one jail in my town!

Multiple jailhouses in the same town possibly?

I recall on another forum they had a debate on this very lyric that went on for many pages. Discussion centred on whether a municipality of a size small enough to be described as a ' town' rather than a 'city' could be imagined as having several places where a jailbreak might take place.

Debate went on so long that eventually I changed my location to 'Somewhere in this town with two or more prisons'.

Ever the wag, you know.
