1. Motorhead
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
2. On Parole
They locked me up, put me away,
Said "You´re gonna get out in forever and a day"
I didn´t know what was going on,
All I was doing was looking for fun,
Forgot the reason, that´s what I´m told,
But you´ve gotta get it in before you get old,
They thought they had me, had me for keeps,
But they don´t know this boy never sleeps,
I´m back on the streets again,
I´m back on my feet again,
I´m On Parole, On Parole
I like laugh, I like a joke,
It´s not my fault if my sense of humour broke,
I tried to tell them I was sick,
They said they think it was some kind of a trick,
Alright, I would have done good,
If they had listened to me like they should,
I wouldn´t have this loaded gun,
Looking for a citizen to kill just for fun,
It´s good to be free again,
It´s good to be me again,
I´m On Parole, On Parole
Stop me now before I kill myself,
Stop me before I kill somebody else!
You´d better watch out, you never know,
Who´s going to be the next to go,
Night my friend, but it ain´t yours,
Fixes the odds, evens the scores,
Just turn around, I won´t go wrong,
When he hits the ground I´ll be long gone,
They won´t suspect me, no not a soul,
´Cos I´m a good boy I´m On Parole,
I´m raising my sights again,
I´m claiming my rights again,
I´m On Parole, On Parole
Stop me now before I kill myself,
Stop me now, or get somebody else
3. 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
4. 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
5. 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
6. Dead Men Tell No Tales
This is it!
Breaking up or breaking through,
Breaking something´s all we ever do,
Shoot straight, travel far,
Stone crazy´s all we ever are,
But I don´t care for lies,
And I won´t tell you twice,
Because when all else fails,
Dead Men Tell No Tales
Shooting up away and back,
A bit of guts is all that you lack,
Far behind the stable door,
I know you´ve met that horse before,
But I don´t care for sky,
And this sure ain´t no lie,
At the end of all the tracks and trails,
Dead Men Tell No Tales
You used to be my friend,
But that friendship´s coming to an end,
My meaning must be clear,
You know pity is all that you hear,
But if you´re doing smack,
You won´t be coming back,
I ain´t the one to make your bail,
Dead Men Tell No Tales
7. 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
8. (We Are) The Road Crew
Another town another place,
Another girl, another face,
Another truck, 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
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. Bite The Bullet
Stepping out, I'm leaving here,
No use crying, crying in my beer,
Enough's enough, believe it's true,
Bite The Bullet, I'm leaving you
Said goodbye, I left a note,
But I don't remember, just what I wrote,
The same old words, to say we're through,
Bite The Bullet, I'm leaving you
So that's the way it always ends,
Get sympathy from all your friends,
Seems there's nothing, nothing else to do,
Bite The Bullet, I'm leaving you
11. The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
You know I'm bad, the times I've had,
I've got a bad reputation,
I don't care, I get my share,
Don't feel no deprivation,
The more I get the better it is,
I like it fine, like a little whizz,
Treat 'em like ladies, that's a fact,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
Silver tounged devil, demon lech,
You know just what I'm doing,
I like a little innocent bitch,
You know I ain't just screwing,
I love you baby, love you too much,
I like it fine, I feel your touch,
But your appearance don't hold no class,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
A little beauty, I love you madly,
Come on home with me,
I know you're hot, I know what you've got,
You know I want to shake your tree,
Come on honey, touch me right there,
Come on honey, don't you get scared,
Come on honey, let me get you in the sack,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
All right! Let me hear ya!
I can't hear ya!
12. Stay Clean
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.
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. 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!
15. Iron Horse
He rides a road
That don't have no end
An open highway
Without any bends
Tramp and his stallion
Alone in a dream
Proud in his colours
As the chromium gleams
On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he gladly dies
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life
He lives his life
He's living it fast
Don't try to hide
When the dice have been cast
He rides a whirlwind
That cuts to the bone
Wasted forever
Ferociously stoned
On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he gladly dies
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life
One day, one day
They'll go for the sun
Forever they'll fly
On the eternal run
Wasted forever
On speed, bikes and booze
Yeah, us and the brothers
We're all born to loose
On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he gladly dies
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life
16. 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, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the snakebite kiss
Devil's grip, the Iron Fist
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, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the snakebite kiss
Devil's grip, the Iron Fist
17. I'm The Doctor
I know the way you feel I know it ain't too good
I know it feels like there's detergent in your blood
But don't you worry, gonna make you feel alright
I'm gonna lift your black depression, help you through the night
I'm your man, you know I'll help you if I can
Cause I'm the doctor
I know you're desperate, I really sympathise
I see the morbid horror flicker in your eyes
But rest assured I'm gonna help to ease your pain
I'm gonna put a thousand tiny implants in your brain
I'm your boy, I'll make you undulate with joy
Cause I'm the doctor
Don't get too depressed, I've found a way to help your case
A little hypodermic sends you into outer space
You'll feel much better when you take these little pills
I'm gonna give you 60 bottles, I believe in overkill
Heart attack, you know you're never coming back
Cause I'm the doctor
18. 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
19. America
America, hot as hell, hysterical, cast your spell
The endless road, another night to bend your mind
White line fever, I think that state patrol car's still behind
America, cold as death, up to Canada, Crystal Meth
Another West Coast turnaround and back to start
Yakima Reservation, just another broken heart
America, liked it fine, Sinsemilla, Ripple Wine
Another Schoolgirl with her daddy's Pontiac
Another killer from the wrong side of the tracks
America, fast cars
America, the girls, the bars
America, don't make no fuss
America, get on the bus
20. Another Perfect Day
Out to lunch, speak your piece,
Good and drunk, back on the street,
What you see is what you get,
No matter what you say,
No time for anything,
To take the pain away,
You sure ain´t the chosen few,
You sure turned a trick or two,
You pulled the deuce this time,
Another Perfect Day.
Golden boy, take your chance,
You´re a clockwork toy, you´re a dime a dance,
The truth is only black and white,
No shade of grey,
It´s easy answers babe,
But it´s hell to pay,
You know it´s just the same for you,
Ain´t nothing you can do,
No chance to change it now,
Another Perfect Day.
Total war, blow your stack,
Say no more, you know you can´t go back,
You´re acting dumb babe, you don´t know,
The places you can go,
You know you tell the truth,
In a different way,
No court of law would find for you,
No matter what you do,
Could be the perfect crime,
Another Perfect Day.
