    The song was included in the LP "Chinatown" released by Phonogram in 1980 and it was recorded at Good Earth Studios, Soho, London W1, UK :D . The guitarist of the band was Snowy White and I'm not sure if Gary Moore gave a hand during the recordings. BTW, "Killer on the loose" (from the same LP} realy rocks.

    You got it 100%! Yeah the album rocks, one of my favorites. Kind of album you can listen to without flicking through the tracks.

    My initial reaction was "Don't Mess Around With Jim" by Jim Croce, but now that I think about it, it sounds more like Saturday Night Special by Lynyrd Skynyrd (sp?)

    Lynyrd Skynyrd is the correct answer Splunge, your turn to post. :)

    WooHoo! Finally knew one! :D

    If manners make the man as someone said
    Then he’s the hero of the day
    It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
    Be yourself no matter what they say

    Got it again?!? From now on I’m going to attach a caveat to my posted lyrics – BOC can’t give an answer. :p

    You're up. :D

    Far beyond these castle walls
    Where the distant harbour meets the sky
    There the battle raged like hell
    And every dove had lost it’s will to fly

    EDIT
    Perhaps it's time for a hint. American hard rock band from Chicago, who began their career in the early 70s and they continue until today. Their hit and most famous song is "Boat on the river". As for this particular song you can find its title among the above lyrics.

    I wouldn't have picked Boat on the River as their most famous song, but the band is Styx, and I think they had a song called Castle Walls (or someting like that) so I'll go with that.

    Not a knock on you, Baldrak, but that was probably way too easy.

    Go.

    I’m not sure how hard this will be, since
    1. It’s old (big surprise there), and
    2. I’m don't know how well-known the band (or this song) is outside of Canada.

    Anyway, here it goes:

    What will be they say will be
    But I'm for you and you're for me
    Evolution insane
    And we go on and play the game
