= Angel From The Coast (Thin Lizzy song) = Angel From The Coast is a Thin Lizzy song from the Jailbreak album released in 1976. It was alos the B-side of their Cowboy Song single released in USA and Canada the same year. Writing credits are shared by Phil Lynott and Brian Robertson. The studio recording for the album lasts 3'4" with a guitar solo by Brian Robertson.The song was played live during the Jailbreak tours of Britain and America in the spring of 1976.

The song was inspired by stories about the mafia. "Phil had read a book about the Mafia and had been listening to Scott who was telling him a lot about the ideas of the old Mafiosa Dons. The whole idea was of this professional hit woman moving into this boarding house, making a really top class hit, and then moving out again. The 'charge' could refer either to murder or the smoke." Phil Lynott said "This is a number written about Scott by Brian and myself."

The Jailbreak producer, John Alcock, has said that the song needed more work than it got in the studio and is consequently light compared to the rest of the album.
