1. 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
2. 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
3. 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
4. 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
5. Damage Case
Hey babe don't act so scared
All I want is some special care
I'm on the run from some institution
All I want's a little consolation
And I can tell by your face
I'm a total disgrace
Let me inside your place
Move over for a Damage Case
Hey babe wait a minute stop
Don't run away don't call the cops
I ain't looking to victimise you
All I want to do is tantalise you
And I can tell by your face
I'm all over the place
I can tell by your face
Got no time for a Damage Case
Hey babe don't turn away
I'm here tomorrow I'm gone today
I don't even care what you think your game is
I don't even care what your name is
And I can tell by your face
You're all over the place
Let me inside your place
Move over for a Damage Case
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. 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.
8. 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
9. Over the Top
Shoot, shoot, shoot, hey!
Please tell me kind, I'm out of my mind
And I'm telling you
It's not that I'm bad, I'm totally mad
I'm a boogaloo
I'm certain, I must be a burden
Completely....
Over the top, over the top!
I don't know what it means, all I hear is screams
And I don't know whose
The nightmares are real, I got a raw deal
And it's all bad news
I swear it, I can't get it
Completely...
Over the top, over the top!
You know it's no lie, my main alibi
It's a waste of time
You know it's the truth, the lyrics the proof
And at least it rhymes
You can have me, 'cos I'm barmy
Completely...
Over the top, over the top!
10. 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
11. 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]
12. 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
13. Tear Ya Down
Gonna show you what it's all about,
I'm gonna make your toenails curl,
Gonna show you how to make me smile,
I'm really into long legged girls,
I was talking to you all night long,
Every line was a favourite song,
Gonna show you how to make me laugh,
I'm gonna Tear Ya Down
Gonna show you what it's all about,
I'm gonna shoot ya down tonight,
I don't really wanna freak you out,
But I'm gonna make ya feel alright,
I was talking to you all night through,
And I knew you were rolling me too,
Gonna shake you till your lips turn blue,
I'm gonna Tear Ya Down
Gonna show you how to strut your stuff,
I'm gonna make your dreams come true,
Gonna show you how to change your luck,
I'm really gonna do it to you,
I was talking to ya hours and hours,
I promised you hearts and flowers,
I'll give you supernatural powers,
I'm gonna Tear Ya Down.
14. Iron Horse-Born to Lose
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,
Loaded forever, and righteously stoned,
On Iron Horse he flies, on Iron Horse he gladly dies,
Iron Horse his wife, Iron Horse his life
Yeah, slide it to me!
One day one day, they'll go for the sun,
Together they'll slide, on the eternal run,
Wasted forever, on speed bikes and booze,
Yeah tramp and the brothers, all born to lose,
On Iron Horse he flies, on Iron Horse he gladly dies,
Iron Horse his wife, Iron Horse his life
