1. Ace of Spades
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all the same to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever,
And don't forget the joker!
Pushing up the ante, I know you wanna see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades
2. Talking Head
Don't touch that dial!
Television screams, your face turning green,
Don't listen to the news,
Don't know what you hear, they never make it clear,
They like to keep your state confused,
Propaganda time, the official line,
You're hungry, you get fed,
Everlasting smile, you must convey their style,
But they're just a Talking Head
Television voice don't give you any choice,
You only hear the man,
Don't take them in, you don't know where they been,
'Cos it's a complex plan,
They keep you nice and quiet, even control your diet,
You're hungry you get fed,
Teach you to be meek, 'til all you are is weak,
'Til you're just a Talking Head
Television screams, this ought to be a dream,
Remember what I say,
Don't be hypnotised by sugar coated lies,
Don't switch it on today,
It's the way things are, from that pickle jar,
You're hungry you get fed,
But if you play the game, you become the same,
Another Talking Head
3. Damage Case
Hey babe don't act so scared
All I want is some special care
I'm on the run from some institution
All I want's a little consolation
And I can tell by your face
I'm a total disgrace
Let me inside your place
Move over for a Damage Case
Hey babe wait a minute stop
Don't run away don't call the cops
I ain't looking to victimise you
All I want to do is tantalise you
And I can tell by your face
I'm all over the place
I can tell by your face
Got no time for a Damage Case
Hey babe don't turn away
I'm here tomorrow I'm gone today
I don't even care what you think your game is
I don't even care what your name is
And I can tell by your face
You're all over the place
Let me inside your place
Move over for a Damage Case
4. Go To Hell
Ya told me that ya wanted it
I knew it wasn´t true
Turned out to be the facts babe
You know what you can do
You can go to hell, you can go to hell
Goodbye for you
Wrapped around your little finger
Under you thumb too
You know that I´m a singer
I´m singin´ just for you
You can go to hell
I guess I betta get movin´
Lotta things I gotta do
I realize it was a waste of time
Talkin´ sense to you
You can go to hell
Hope ya got my little message
I hope you hear me
I thought ya might´ve been the answer
Obviously crazy
5. Overkill
Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud,
So good you can't believe it's screaming with the crowd,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill
On your feet you feel the beat, it goes straight to your spine,
Shake your head you must be dead if it don't make you fly,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill
Know your body's made to move, feel it in your guts
Rock 'n' roll ain't worth the name if it don't make you strut,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill
6. Speedfreak
Got to hurry, got to hurry
I don´t believe you worry
Take it back, take it back
You know you can´t do that
Don´t want no sleep
Up for a week
Yes, I´m a speekfreak, speedfreak
Way too fast, way too fast
Gonna be the first and last
Shoot ya down, shoot ya down
Flamin´ Wreck you hit the ground
Up for a week
Don´t need no sleep
Cos I´m a speedfreak, speedfreak
No regrets, no regrets
You can´t afford´em yet
Comin´ down, comin´ down
Over, under, sideways, round
Up for a week
Playin´ Hide and Seek
Cos I´m a speedfreak, everlasting speedfreak
7. Shoot you in the back
Western movies!
The riders ride, into the night,
Into the West, to see who's gun's the best,
They're all fools, to live by rules,
The rider wearing black,
He's gonna Shoot You In The Back
The horseman turns, the wound that burns,
The awful pain, the crimson rain,
Got realise, before he dies,
The rider wearing black,
You know he's gonna Shoot You In The Back
It's suicide, to live on pride,
You claim you own, your skin your bone,
Your own life, cuts you like a knife,
The rider wearing black,
He's gonna Shoot You In The Back
In the Western movies!
8. The Hammer
Let the killer go, don't let your mother know,
Don't go out tonight, don't even try to fight,
'Cos I can see, I've got the thing you need,
And I'm here to stay, it's gonna be that way,
Don't try to run, don't try to scream,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna smash your dream
I'm in your life, just might be in your wife,
Could be behind your back, I might be on your track,
And it might be true, I might be onto you,
I'll scare you half to death, I'll take away your breath,
Don't try to see, don't try to hide,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna make you die
There ain't no way, you'll see another day,
I'm shooting out your lights, bring you eternal night,
And your eternal tricks, begin to make me sick,
The only thing I know, is that you've gotta go,
Don't try to hide, don't look around,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna bring you down,
Believe me, The Hammer's coming down
9. Jailbait
Hey baby you're a sweet young thing,
Still tied to Mommy's apron strings,
I don't even dare to ask your age,
It's enough to know you're here backstage,
You're Jailbait, and I just can't wait,
Jailbait baby come on
One look baby, all I need,
My decision made at lightning speed,
I don't even want to know your name,
It's enough to know you feel the same,
You're Jailbait, and I just can't wait,
Jailbait baby come on
Hey babe you know you look so fine,
Send shivers up and down my spine,
I don't care about our different ages,
I'm an open book with well thumbed pages,
You're Jailbait, and I just can't wait,
Jailbait baby come on
10. Killed by Death
If you squeeze my lizard
I'll put my snake on you
I'm a romantic adventure
And I'm a reptile too
[Chorus:]
But it don't make no difference
'cos I ain't gonna be, easy, easy
the only time I'm easy's when I'm
Killed by death [x4]
I'm a lone wolf ligger
But I ain't no pretty boy
I'm a backbone shiver
and I'm a bundle of joy
[Chorus]
But it don't make no difference
'cos I ain't gonna be, easy, easy
the only time I'm easy's when I'm
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
11. Dancin' in your Grave
I know you thought you were a real operator,
But I don´t know why,
All you had was a bankroll babe,
And a glint in your eye,
I´m high steppin´ like an indian brave,
I´m the one dancing on your grave
You know I´m a killer babe,
Here´s late news for you,
You couldn´t buy me with a million, babe,
I´m too good for you,
I know you think I´m a real rough trade,
Now I´m the one dancing on your grave
One time you was a real high-stepper,
On the high trapeze,
But you know you ran out of money,
Wound up on your knees,
I´m the one you never made,
Now I´m the one dancing on your grave
12. Like a Nightmare
want to be there
I gotta see
I want to feel it
I want to watch you looking at me
Oh you know how I feel
When you set me free
Like a nightmare, like a nightmare babe,
Like a nightmare, nightmare
It´s an infection
It´s disease
But no reflection
It´s gonna make your blood freeze
Oh you know how I feel when you set me free
Like a nightmare, like a nightmare babe,
Like a nightmare, night, nightmare
13. Die you Bastard
You can smell the danger, watch your step,
See the friendly stranger, stretch your neck,
Keep them in the dark now, it´s alright,
You know they only come out at night,
Your shadow´s alive, it breathes at your side,
Got no place to hide, be with you ´til the day you die,
You can hear the rumours, shut your mouth,
Deal with the misfits, wipe ´em out,
Search in all the bedrooms, use your head,
Listen to your conscience, wake the dead,
Mother kiss the vampire, shut the door,
Rats in all the rooms babe, hit the floor,
I think it´s a gamble, but what´s your sign?
Upway at the downside, stay in line
Die, Die, Die You Bastard!
14. Motörhead (Live)
Sunrise, wrong side of another day,
Sky high and six thousand miles away,
Don´t know how long I´ve been awake,
Wound up in an amazing state,
Can´t get enough,
And you know it´s righteous stuff,
Goes up like prices at Christmas,
Motorhead, You can call me Motorhead, alright
Brain dead, total amnesia,
Get some mental anasthesia,
Don´t move, I´ll shut the door and kill the lights,
And if I can´t be wrong I could be right,
All good clean fun,
Have another stick of gum,
Man, you look better already,
Motorhead, Remember me now Motorhead, alright
Fourth day, five day marathon,
We´re moving like a parallelogram,
Don´t move, I´ll shut the door and kill the lights,
I guess I´ll see you all on the ice,
I should be tired,
And all I am is wired,
Ain´t felt this good for an hour,
Motorhead, Remember me now, Motorhead alright
