1. The 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




2. 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




3. 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

[CHORUS:]
No Class *5
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

[CHORUS]

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

[CHORUS]




4. I Got Mine

Here´s the story, there´s only me,
No other place for you to be,
I´ts 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 lover, go back to start,
I got your picture in my heart,
It´s only me babe, it´s only me,
Refuse disposal refugee,
Right now, right here,
You just might be my new career,
Right now, this time,
You got yours and I Got Mine

Come on baby, stay close to me,
You got me fallin´ out my tree,
Be my lover, the only one,
Be anything but don´t be gone,
Right now, right here,
Ain´t gonna let you disappear,
Right now, this time,
You got yours and I Got Mine




5. 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




6. 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

[CHORUS:]
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

[CHORUS]

Moon eclipse and you know why
Ghost rider in the sky
Beast of evil devil hound
Tooth and claw they pull you down

[CHORUS]




7. 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!




8. 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




9. Shine

Hard time getting to ya babe,
Double take, figure real rough trade,
But you know I´m a real good lover,
Can´t judge a book by its cover,
I know and you know I know,
Can´t trust your intuition no more

Look good and I make you smile,
Bet you 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 you like a wheel

High life, I´m a fool for you,
Low life, I 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 least,
My beauty gonna meet your beast,
Comin´ over and shake your tree,
My body´s gonna set you free,
I know and you know it´s true,
Move over I´m coming through

It´s all over and I got you down,
Gonna chase you round and round,
Mess around with the way I 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, I like to break the rules,
First bite, you know I got a taste for you,
I´m gonna make you shine

I'm gonna make you shine! Shine!




10. 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, dark star, Capricorn

December's child, the only one,
What I do, is what I've done,
I realise, I get so cold,
When I was young I was already old,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn

I always knew, the only way,
Is never live, beyond today,
They proved me right,
They proved me wrong,
But they could never last this long,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn




11. Poison

People tell me you didn't know better,
Give me sermons 'bout the things I do,
Come to love 'em, even wrote letters,
You know I even asked it of you, I said,
I've been doing Poison,
I guess I poisoned my life,
I've been doing Poison,
it's better than marrying your wife

On the road, the pace is getting frantic,
Specially when your poisoned out your mind,
A flight of stairs is like swimming the Atlantic,
When you're poisoned, deaf, dumb and blind,
I take my poison,
I guess I poisoned my life,
Been doing Poison,
I wish I'd Poisoned my wife

My Father, he used to be a Preacher,
Never taught me nothing but scorn,
If I ever catch him on the street, yeah,
I'll make him wish he'd never been born,
He was Poison,
Guess he poisoned my life
He was Poison,
I wish my mother wasn't his wife, no!




12. One Track Mind

One arm bandit, one way ride,
One arm bandit, one more try,
One way ticket, one horse town,
One way ticket, no way down,

One Track Mind (x4)

Two lane highway, two hand car,
Two lane highway, too damn far,
Two faced women, two time guys,
Two faced women, two black eyes,

One Track Mind (x4)

Three time loser, break the law,
Three time loser, two bit whore,
Three ring circus, free form show,
Three ring circus, way to go,

One Track Mind (x4)




13. Mothorhead

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. 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




15. Killed By Death (bonus video)

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 *4

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
