1. 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
2. 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
3. (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
4. 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
5. 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
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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
9. Back At The Funny Farm
Hammer pounding in my heart, I think it's gonna burst,
Spring unwinding in my head, I don't know which is worse,
I hear you talking but the words are kinda strange,
One of us is crazy and the other one's insane
Stay Calm, don't be alarmed, it's just a holiday,
Back at the funny farm
Nothing in this cold white room to help me recognise,
I don't understand why everyone is in disguise,
I gotta leave right now, I can't stay here no more,
But I'm afraid to try in case they lock the door
Can't find no windows but I gotta get outside,
Can you help me stand it feels like both my legs have died,
What was that injection 'cos I think it's going wrong,
I really like this jacket but the sleeves are much too long
10. Dancing On 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
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. 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!
13. 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)
14. 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 reasons, were your guilt and greed,
You're out there on your own,
Your face turned to stone,
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone Dead Forever
It's been a long time, been a long long wait,
And you've caught your fingers, in the Pearly Gates,
You'd better leave your number, and we'll call you,
You know your problems, ain't exactly new,
The wrong side of the fold,
Your touch has turned to gold,
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone Dead Forever
You're a financial wizard, a top tycoon,
A sweet lounge lizard, with a silver spoon,
You know you never had it, quite so good,
'Cos you didn't know, that you even could,
But the time has come to pay,
Turns out to have been a play,
Whatever happened to your life?
Stone Dead Forever
