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. 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
3. Stone Dead Forever
Get on!
You think you see me, in the glass
You think you hear me, better listen fast
I think I see you, gone to seed
Think your reason, is your guilt and greed
You're out there on your own
Your face is turned to stone
What ever happened to your life?
Stone dead forever
All right!
You're a financial wizard, yeah, a top tycoon
You're a sweet long lizard, with a silver spoon
You know you've never had it, quite so good
And you didn't know, that you even could
Your time has come to own
Your touch turned to gold
What ever happened to your life?
Stone dead forever
All right!
It's been a long time, it's been a long long wait
And you caught your fingers, in the pearly gates
You better leave your number, and we'll call you
You know your problem, ain't exactly new
Your time has come today
Your face has turned to hay
What ever happened to your life?
Stone dead forever
That's right!
Yo!
[Aaah...]
4. Bomber
Ain't a hope in hell,
Nothing's gonna bring us down,
The way we fly,
Five miles off the ground,
Because we shoot to kill,
And you know we always will,
It's a Bomber
Scream a thousand miles,
Feel the black death rising moan,
Firestorm coming closer,
Napalm to the bone,
Because, you know we do it right,
A mission every night,
It's a Bomber
No night fighter,
Gonna stop us getting through,
The sirens make you shiver,
You bet my aim is true,
Because, you know we aim to please,
Bring you to your knees,
It's a Bomber
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. No Class
Shut up, you talk too loud,
You don't fit in with the crowd,
I can't believe you exist,
I've crossed you right off my list,
Too much, too soon, you're way out of tune,
No Class
Way out, you're way out of line,
No buddy I can't spare a dime,
Fade out, baby that's right,
No bark and even less bite,
Your perfect smile, betrays your lack of style,
No Class
Too late, you can't catch up now,
You face the wrong way anyhow,
I know you ain't got the brain,
To come in out of the rain,
Too bad, no magic, I'm afraid you're really tragic,
No Class
7. Iron Fist
Dark night nothing to see
Invisible hand in front of me
Scared to death there´s someone near
Scared to move but you can´t stay here
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the snakebite kiss
Devil´s grip, the Iron Fist
Flying horse don´t make a sound
Flying hooves don´t touch the ground
Walk in circle lose you track
Can´t go on but you can´t go back
You know me
Moon eclipse and you know why
Ghost rider in the sky
Beast of evil devil´s hound
Tooth and claw they pull you down
You know me
8. I Got Mine
Here's the story, there's only me
No other place for you to be
It's only you babe, it's only you
I can't believe the things you do
Right now, right here
Ain't gonna let you disappear
Right now, this time, you got yours and I got mine
Come on baby, go back to start
I got your picture in my heart
It's only me babe, it's only me
Refuse, disposal, refugee
Rock'n'Roll you just might be my new career
Rock'n'Roll you just might be my new career
Come on baby, come on with me
You got me fallin out my tree
Be my lover, the number one
Be my friend but don't be gone
Nobody gonna interfere
9. Shine
Hard time gettin' to ya babe
Double take, figure real rough trade
But you know I'm a real good lover
Can't judge a book by the cover
I know, and you know I know
Can't trust your intuition no more
Look good and I make you smile
Bet ya thought I wouldn't have no style
I'm gonna turn your head around
Won't know til you hit the ground
Gonna change the way you feel
I'm gonna roll ya like a wheel
[Chorus:]
High life, I'm a fool for you
Low life, like to break the rules
First bite, you know I got a taste for you
I'm gonna make you shine
Be a switch to say the last
My beauty gonna meet your beast
Comin' over and shake your tree
My body gonna set you free
I know, and you know it's true
More over I'm comin' through
[Chorus]
It's over and I got you down
Gonna chase you round and round
Mess around with the way you feel
Gonna offer you a whole new deal
Gonna lay it on ya just for kicks
Down on ya like a ton of bricks
[Chorus]
10. Deaf Forever
Stoneface dog, swirling fog, gates open on the dark dark night
Standing stone, skull and bone, dead witness to an unseen fight
Beat the drum, beat the drum, beat forever on the endless march
Stricken dumb, cut and run, someone is screaming and the sky is dark
[Chorus:]
Sword and shield, bone and steel, rictus grin
Deaf forever to the battles din
March or croak, flame and smoke, burn forever in eternal pain
Charge and fall, bugle call, bone splinter in the driving rain
Horses scream, Viking dream, drowned heroes in a lake of blood
Armoured fist, severed wrist, broken spears in a sea of mud
[Chorus]
Mother earth, mother earth enfold you in her cold embrace
Sinking down, killing ground, worm crawling on your cold white face
Win or lose, nought to choose, all men are equal when their memory fades
No one knows, friends or foes, if Valhalla lies beyond the grave
[Chorus]
11. Stay Clear
I can tell, seen before,
I know the way, I know the law,
Can't believe, can't obey,
Can't agree with all the things I hear you say,
Oh no, don't ask me why,
I can't go on with all these filthy white lies,
Stay Clean
Don't you know, all the time,
You got yours and you know that I've got mine,
Grab a hold, don't let go,
Don't let them rob you of the only thing you know,
Oh no, no-one else,
Got the right to make you sorry for yourself,
Stay Clean
So you see, the only proof,
Of what you are is in the way you see the truth,
Don't be scared, live to win,
Although they're always gonna tell you it's a sin,
In the end, you're on your own,
And there is no-one that can stop you being alone,
Stay Clean.
12. Capricorn
A thousand nights, I've spent alone,
Solitaire, to the bone,
But I don't mind, I'm my own best friend,
From the beginning, to the end,
My life, my heart, black night, my star,
Capricorn
December's child, the only one,
What I do, is what I've done,
I realize, I get so cold,
When I was young I was already old,
My life, my heart, black night, my star,
Capricorn
I always knew, the only way,
Is never live, beyond today,
They proved me right, they proved me wrong,
But they can never last this long,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star,
Capricorn
13. Metropolis
Metropolis, the worlds collide,
Ain't nobody could be on your side,
I don't care,I don't care
Metropolis is something new,
Ain't nobody got their eye on you,
I don't care,I don't care
Metropolis, the worlds collide,
Ain't nobody on the other side,
I don't care, I'm not there.
14. Shoot You in the Back (live)
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!
15. (We Are) The Road Crew
Another town another place,
Another girl, another face,
Another truce, another race,
I'm eating junk, feeling bad,
Another night, I'm going mad,
My woman's leaving, I feel sad,
But I just love the life I lead,
Another beer is what I need,
Another gig my ears bleed,
We Are The Road Crew
Another town I've left behind,
Another drink completely blind,
Another hotel I can't find,
Another backstage pass for you,
Another tube of super glue,
Another border to get through,
I'm driving like a maniac,
Driving my way to hell and back,
Another room a case to pack,
We Are The Road Crew
Another hotel we can burn,
Another screw, another turn,
Another Europe map to learn,
Another truckstop on the way,
Another game I learn to play,
Another word I learn to say,
Another bloody customs post,
Another fucking foreign coast,
Another set of scars to boast,
We Are The Road Crew
16. 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!
17. 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
18. 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
19. Going to Brazil (live)
Here we go again, on a 747,
Looking at the clouds
From the other side of heaven,
Smoking & drinking, never gonna stop,
Reading magazines,
Stop me looking at the clock,
Wanna watch the movie,can't keep still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil,
Watching all the roadcrew
Attacking little girls,
Joined the mile high club,
Goin' round the world,
All the booze is free,
Airline going broke,
Here come the lady
With another jack and coke,
Wanna watch the movie,
Can't keep still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil,
Steve, Clem,Hobbsy,
John,Crazy Dil and Pappy,
Had to travel second class,
They ain't too fucking happy,
Elevator music, butter in my ears,
Think we're gonna die,
Just the pilot changing gear,
Wanna watch the movie, can't sit still,
Flying down to RIO, going to Brazil.
20. Louie Louie (Richard Berry cover)
Hit it!
Louie, Louie, oh baby,
We gotta go
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Louie, Louie, oh baby,
We gotta go
Oh my little girl,
She’s ready for me
I’d catch a ship, across the sea
Sailing the ship
All alone
I wonder when I’m gonna make it home
Louie, Louie, oh baby,
We gotta go
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Louie, Louie, oh baby,
We gotta go
Three days, and nights
I sailed the sea
I think you’re good, oh constantly
On the ship I know I’ll dream she’s there
The smell of roses in her hair
Louie, Louie, oh baby,
We gotta go
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Louie, Louie, oh baby,
We gotta go
Ok! Let’s give it to em! Right now!
Hey!

I see the girl I’m, thinkin of
I take her in my arms, and then
Tell her that I’ll never leave again
Louie, Louie
Ey, ey, ey, ey, ey, ey
Louie, Lou
Oh no
Louie, Louie, oh baby
We gotta go
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
