and represented Wharton's first co-writing credit with the band. Lynott's lyrics were inspired by seeing The Man Who Saw Tomorrow, about the predictions of Nostradamus. The title track "Renegade" follows, co-written by White with most of the lead guitar played by him. Tsangarides remembered: "That was mostly all Snowy on "Renegade". The whole style of the song was really him." He added that this was the song which needed most work at the time he took over the co-producer role. White has named it as his favourite Thin Lizzy song. Next was "The Pressure Will Blow", co-written with Gorham, which Lynott explained was about a man who discovered his partner's affair, and who told her to leave before he became violent. "So it's controlled anger," he said. The last song on side one, "Leave This Town", was influenced by ZZ Top. On hearing Gorham play the riff, Lynott later said, "Immediately I sort of ripped off ZZ Top for all their worth." Side two opened with "Hollywood (Down on Your Luck)", which was released as the only single from the album in March 1982, after the album was released. It reached number 53, the same position as "Trouble Boys" a few months earlier. Tsangarides said they all struggled to find a single to release from the album, "but I think we felt that "Hollywood" was the closest." It is followed by "No-One Told Him", one of only two songs written solely by Lynott. Some members of the band expressed reservations about the Lynott/White collaboration "Fats", about Fats Waller and somewhat in Waller's style. Gorham said, "I remember "Fats" going down on tape and thinking, 'Whoa, what was that?'" Wharton added, "Despite the fact I got to do a piano solo, I thought "Fats" missed the mark. So did "Mexican Blood" and one or two others." Downey, however, liked the Western-themed "Mexican Blood": "I play some timbales as well as marimbas on "Mexican Blood". Good song, I like that one." The album closes with "It's Getting Dangerous", one of the first ideas Lynott brought to the sessions at Compass Point in January, with a lyric describing friends drifting apart. Tsangarides stated, "It's one of my favourite tracks that I still listen to, to this day."
