    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've double-dealed me, baby and I broke like a shell, oh
    Well, 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
    Well, 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, well, there's a mist on my lens
    I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell
    Well, you've double-dealed me, baby, I cracked like a shell, yeah

    I guess u could say I'm an "older kid"now but I saw Rory in the USA in 1972. We went to an all day outdoor rock festival at Rockingham Motor Speedway in N. Carolina. Rory closed the show out that night after many acts ahead of him on a long, hot Southern day. Let me tell u he absolutely blew up the stage & gave a killer performance! I will never forget it! My friends & I couldn't believe what we were hearing. We had heard of him but had no idea what that Irish boy was about to deliver! A great show, and an even greater musician!

    Saw Rory open for Dave Mason in Boston around 1978 or so. I went there to see Rory. Mason made a big mistake having Rory open. Rory just lit the place up. The crowd kept trying to get Rory back out. I saw him after that at the Paradise (Boston). I got tickets for both shows. Brian May came to the second show and sat at the table next to us,. Queen was playing in town that night. May is a big Rory fan. Rory was just an incredible live act. The feel he had for the guitar was just incredible. He was a force of nature.

I'm sure enjoying him now. I listen to Shadow Play (his live performance on UA-cam) at least once every day. His fans have told me that his Live performances are the best - and I believe it. His connection to his live audience was incredible. Have only heard wonderful things about the man and his music. He seems to have never left his working-class values and for him, it was ALL about the music. Incredibly talented who have his audience everything he had. So glad I found this man and his music.

I have an edited video I keep that hightlights his mastery of live tone and performance. There's usually no argument after that. It's especially satisfying when they are hearing Rory for the first time. I'm amazed, to this day, how many people don't know who he is.

    I have to watch this performance of Bad Penny at regular intervals, otherwise I start getting withdrawal symptoms. The way Rory played here and how he added all those subtle little nuances just with the volume and tone pots is just magical. ❤And can we talk about what a MONSTER bass player Gerry McAvoy is? 🤩

      Absolutely! tight like clockwork. Even in slower songs no dragging (= bass/drums slightly after the beat). Is quite hard to do. Lot of professional bass players can not do that. To my opinion Rory could shine on stage because of the rock solid rhythm section.

      I'm from Brazil and I am really into guitar players. If I hadn't searched for greatest players, I probably wouldn't have heard of him. The world is unfair because I have been enjoying Rock and Roll music for many years and I have never heard about Rory. My uncle who is the one that introduced me to Rock 'n roll music, which is an old dude, has never heard of him either, and my uncle really loves this type of music. I'm 32 and I think Rory is one of the best guitarrists I've ever seen so far. My fav guitarrists are Mark Knopfler and Richie Blackmore, but now Rory is in my Book. May your soul rest in peace Rory!

    If there was one artist I wish to God I could've seen live, It would be Rory. Holy Shit, he just flaming kicks ass. Bad Penny, Moonchild, Shadow Play, Calling Card, Shin Kicker, Edged In Blue, Crest of a Wave, just a bottomless wellspring of killer tracks across multiple LPs, and of course, the immortal, mystical, melodic epic ballad, Daughter of the Everglades! Damn, words cant describe how much I adore that particular track. Daughter of the Everglades is one of those songs that just epitomises why I love the 1970s and 70s songwriting in general. Thankfully, there's no shortage of live footage of Rory on UA-cam for those of us who missed him in his heyday. LOVE U RORY!!!!!!

I stood right at the front, literally leaning on the stage with both arms resting on it, staring in awe. He was about six feet away from me. Despite the poor turnout (some people don't wouldn't know a brilliant opportunity to see a fantastic musician if it moved next door and shot their dog), he played his f**king socks off! RIP Rory!
