Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 5% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 80.2/100, a mean average of 80.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.7.

I love this one too. I was sitting on me mower today with this playing on the i-pod and singing along "Oh-oh poor Romeo/Sitting all on his owneo". I know what Jason means about the corniness, I'm glad the mower was too loud for that girl who was stood at the bus stop to have heard me , that would have been embarrassing, but I still love it. Great rhythm.

The song is pretty good but I find that the lyrics are a little corny on this one. "Oh poor Romeo sitting all on his own-eo" ???
That is not Lynott's best work.
The awesome guitar solo (maybe the best of all in the Lizzy catalog) takes this song from average to a real good one.
Each track is unique to the album in it's own way, kinda like LZ4.
