1. Overkill
Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud
So good I can't believe it, screamin' with the crowd
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
OVERKILL, 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
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
OVERKILL, 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
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
OVERKILL, OVERKILL, OVERKILL
2. 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, ask me why, I can't
Go on with all the filthy vile lies
Stay clean, stay clean
Stay clean, stay clean
Don't ya know, all the time
You got yours an' ya know that
I got mine
Grab a hold, don't let go
Don't let them rob ya of the only way ya know
Oh no, no-one else, got the
right to make you sorry for yourself
Stay clean, stay clean
Stay clean, stay clean
So you see, the only proof
Of what you are is in the way
You hear the truth
Don't be scared, live to win
Although they're always gonna tell ya it's a sin
In the end, you're on your own
And there is no one that can stop you being alone
3. 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
4. No Class
Shut up you talk too loud
You don't fit in with the crowd
I can't believe you exist
I crossed you right off my list
Too much too soon
Way out of tune
No Class
Ah baby No class
No class
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
Ah baby No class
No class
No class
Too late ya 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 merely tragic
No Class
Ah baby No class
No class
No class
5. 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, it's nowhere
Metropolis the worlds advice
Ain't nobody on the other side
I don't care I'm not there
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. Stone Dead Forever
You think you see me in the glass
You think you hear me you better listen fast
I think I see you gone to seed
The only reason was your guilt and greed
you're out there on your own
Your face has turned to stone
Whatever happened to your life
Stone dead forever.
It's been a long time
And 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 problems they ain't exactly new
The dark side of the road
And it's your time to go
Whatever happened to your life
Stone dead forever
You're a financial wizard, a top tycoon
Sweet lounge lizard with a silver spoon
You know you've never had it quite so good
And you didn't know that you even could
But your time has come today
Your feet turn to clay
Whatever happened to your life
Stone dead forever.
8. Bomber
Ain't a hope in hell
Nothin' 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
It's a Bomber
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
It's a Bomber
It's a Bomber
No nightfighter
Gonna stop us getting through
Sirens make you shiver
You bet my aim is true
Because, we aim to please
Bring you to your knees
It's a Bomber
It's a Bomber
It's a Bomber
9. Please Don't Touch
Well there ain't no other woman
that can make me feel this way,
Gets up close you know, I just ain't got a word to say.
PLEASE DON'T TOUCH
I shake so much,
PLEASE DON'T TOUCH
I shake so much.
I don't know why she's got her claws in me,
'Cause I ain't fighting baby, can't you see,
Sneaking up the stairway, running like a thief,
Spend the night shaking like a leaf,
Oh I remember the first time I took her to a cheap motel,
Well I woke up drunk, you know I felt like Eskimo Nell.
PLEASE DON'T TOUCH
I shake so much,
PLEASE DON'T TOUCH
I shake so much.
Well I get so nervous when I see his eyes that shine,
Gets too close and a chill runs down my spine.
PLEASE DON'T TOUCH
I shake so much,
PLEASE DON'T TOUCH
I shake so much.
10. Ace Of Spades
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed
The only card I need is
The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
Playing for the high one, dicing with the devil
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me
Seven or eleven, snake eyes watchin' you
Double up or quit, double stakes or split
The Ace of Spades
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 forever
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
The Ace of Spades
11. (We Are) The Road Crew
Another town, another place
Another girl, another face
Another truck, another race
Eatin' junk, feelin' bad
Another night, goin' mad
My Woman leavin' I'm so 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, left behind
Another drink, completely blind
Another hotel I can't find
Another backstage pass for you
Another tube of superglue
Another border to get through
Drivin' like a maniac
Drivin' 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 that I can play
Another word I learned to say
Another bloody customs post
Another fucking foreign coast
Another set of scars to boast
We are the road crew
12. Jailbait
Hey baby you're a sweet young thing
Still tied to mommas apron strings
I don't even want to know your age
I'm just happy you're back stage
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 baby 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
13. Motorhead (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
14. 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, prepared to die
You know me, the snake-bite kiss
Devils grip, the iron fist
Flying horse don't make a sound
Flying hooves don't touch the ground
Walk in circle lose your track
Can't go on but you can't go back
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepared to die
You know me, the snake-bite kiss
Devils grip, the iron fist
Moon eclipse and you know why
Ghost rider in the sky
Beast of evil devil hound
Tooth and claw they pull you down
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepared to die
You know me, the snake-bite kiss
Devils grip, the iron fist
15. 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
16. (Don't Let 'Em) Grind Ya Down
People gonna make ya wonder if you're right
Keep ya wide awake and worried late at night
Why don't ya tell'em to beat it
Why don't ya tell'em to eat it
Just a bunch of clowns
Don't let'em grind ya down
Sons of bitches, crocodile tears in their eyes
We scare'em shitless just by showin' up alive
Why don't you tell'em to shove it
They might as well love it
Give you runaround
Don't let'em grind ya down
Evil bastards ain't got nothin' else to do
Make your life a misery and put you off your food
Don't you dare to go under
Don't let'em steal your thunder
Listen to the sound
Well let'em grind that down
17. (Don't Need) Religion
Don't need no blind belief
Don't need no comic relief
Don't need to see the scars
Don't need Jesus Christ Superstar
Don't need no Sunday Television
Bet your life you don't need religion
Don't need no time for prayer
Don't save no knee-pads for me up there
If your head's alright, ya don't need binoculars to see the light
Ya don't need no miracle vision
Bet your life you don't need religion
I don't need no Santa Claus
Don't believe in fairies no more
Don't need to go to confession
I'm already trying to fight depression
Don't need no exorcism
Bet your life you don't need religion
18. 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
19. 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
20. 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
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
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
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
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
