MOTORHEAD LYRICS

1. Ace Of Spades

[I. Kilmister, E. Clarke, P. Taylor]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

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. Motorhead

[I. Kilmister]
[United Artists]

Sunrise, wrong side of another day
Sky high, and six thousand miles away
Don't know how long I been awake
Wound up in an amazin' state
Can't get enough
And you know its righteous stuff
Goes up like prices at Christmas this-
Motorhead, you can call me
Motorhead, all right...

Brained out, total amnesia
Get some mental anaesthesia
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights
If I can be wrong, I must 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, the morning's not a pretty sight
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, all night...

3. Jailbait

[I. Kilmister, E. Clarke, P. Taylor]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

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

4. Stay Clean

[I. Kilmister, E. Clarke, P. Taylor]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

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

5. Too Late, Too Late

[I. Kilmister, E. Clarke, P. Taylor]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

I see that nothin's changed
Insist on playing games
Some waste of time you are
And you're so popular
Well this is it you bitch
I got to make a switch
You find some other john
I know what's goin' on

Your move what do I have to lose
Stalemate, too late, too late

I thought you were for real
Just one more rip-off deal
Don't give me all that crap
I just escaped your trap
You think you see the joke
But you're just chasin' smoke
'Cos now the thrill is gone
I know what's goin' on

[CHORUS]

Misunderstanding me
The way you felt so free
I'm gonna jump the gun
I'm gonna cut an' run
Your credibility
Don't cut no ice with me
You're just a feeble con
I know what's goin' on

[CHORUS]

6. Killed By Death

[I. Kilmister, M. Burston]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

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 gonna be 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 gonna be easy's when I'm
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death

7. Bomber

[I. Kilmister, E. Clarke, P. Taylor]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

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

8. Iron Fist

[I. Kilmister, E. Clarke, P. Taylor]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

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]

9. Shine

[I. Kilmister, P. Taylor, B. Robertson]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

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]

10. Dancing On Your Grave

[I. Kilmister, P. Taylor, B. Robertson]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

I know you thought you're a real operator
But I don't know why
All you had was a bankroll, babe
And a glint in your eye
I'm a 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'm know you think I'm 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. Metropolis

[I. Kilmister, E. Clarke, P. Taylor]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

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

12. Snaggletooth

[I. Kilmister, M. Burston]

Though I was done for now, well here's a big surprise
'Cos I keep coming back, I can't be exorcised
I'm like a nightmare babe, I'm here to mess with you
I'll make your hair stand up and I'll make your lips turn blue

[CHORUS:]
I'm gonna raise your roof
Ring your bell and that's the truth
Speed don't kill and I'm the proof
Just call me Snaggletooth

I've just been waiting here, and you were late again,
But I knew you'd be back, I hoped you'd bring a friend
I want you to believe that there is no way out
You're in the snakepit, babe, there's a lot of it about

[CHORUS]

So now you know my name, I guess you realise
Don't try to fight babe, I got you hypnotised
And sometime late tonight you'll hear the were wolf call
Gonna be old Snaggletooth gotcha by the bals!

[CHORUS]

13. Overkill

[I. Kilmister, E. Clarke, P. Taylor]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

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

[Heath, Robinson]
[Multimood Music Ltd.]

Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much
Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much
Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much
Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much

You know 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

[Solo]

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

I remember the first time I took her to a cheap motel
Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much
I woke up drunk, you know I felt like Eskimo Nell
Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much

Please don't touch
I shake so much
Please don't touch
I shake so much

Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much

Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much

15. Stone Dead Forever

[I. Kilmister, E. Clarke, P. Taylor]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

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.

16. Like A Nightmare

[I. Kilmister, E. Clarke, P. Taylor]
[1979 Motor Music Ltd.]

I want to be there
I gotta see
I want to feel it
I want to watch you looking at me
Oh you know how I feel
When you set me free
Like a nightmare, like a nightmare babe, like a nightmare, nightmare

It's an infection
It's disease
But no reflection
It's gonna make your blood freeze
Oh you know how I feel when you set me free
Like a nightmare, like a nightmare babe,
like a nightmare, night, nightmare

17. Emergency

[originally by Girlschool]

[Motor Music Ltd.]

Gotta make out things they said
Spent too many nights getting out of my head
They must be mad, must be blind
Driving me crazy right out of my mind

Nine Nine Nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine Nine Nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine Nine Nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine Nine Nine Emergency
Oh No!
Nine Nine Nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine Nine Nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine Nine Nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine Nine Nine Emergency Emergency Emergency

Can't seem to think, can't decide
Times running out on the other side
Where to run, what to do
Better not hide so I can't find you

Nine Nine Nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine Nine Nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine Nine Nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine Nine Nine Emergency
Oh No!
Nine Nine Nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine Nine Nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine Nine Nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine Nine Nine Emergency Emergency Emergency

18. Steal Your Face

[I. Kilmister, M. Burston]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

He moves so slowly but he's coming after you
Nowhere to hide and not a thing that you can do

You're on his mind, you're on his mind

You're gonna leave the human race,
You know you can't stand the pace
Gonna sink without a trace
He's gonna steal your face

Don't try to run, he's gonna find you day or night

Just sit and shiver and be ready for the bite
You're on his mind, you're on his mind
You're lost in hostile space, gonna feel the cold embrace
You're in a state of grace, he's gonna steal your face

Nowhere to run you know he's never far away
Knows where you are and he gets closer every day

You're on his mind, you're on his mind

And I'll bet that he can't wait
You know he's gonna take the bait
Gonna be on your case
He's gonna steal your face
He's gonna steal your face
He's gonna steal your face
He's gonna steal your face

19. Louie Louie

[R. Berry]
[Limax Music Inc. MCPS]

LOUIE, LOUIE
I gotta go
LOUIE, LOUIE
Me gotta go

A fine little girl, she wait for me
Me catch the ship across the sea
I sailed the ship all alone
I never think I'll make it home.

LOUIE, LOUIE
I gotta go
LOUIE, LOUIE
Me gotta go

Three nights and days we sailed the sea
Me think of girl constantly
On the ship I dream she there
I smell the rose in her hair.

LOUIE, LOUIE
I gotta go
LOUIE, LOUIE
Me gotta go

Me see Jamaica moon above
It won't be long me see me love
Me take her in my arms and then
I tell her I never leave again.

LOUIE, LOUIE
I gotta go
LOUIE, LOUIE
Me gotta go

20. No Class

[I. Kilmister, E. Clarke, P. Taylor]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

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]

21. Iron Horse

[I. Kilmister, E. Clarke, P. Taylor]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

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

22. We Are The Road Crew

[I. Kilmister, E. Clarke, P. Taylor]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

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

23. Leaving Here

[Holland, Dozier]
[Jobete Music Ltd.]

Hey, fellows, have you heard the news?
The girls on the town are being misused.
I seen it all in a dream last night.
Girls leaving this town 'cause you don't treat'em right.

I'm leaving, leaving here,
I'm leaving, leaving here,
Hey, you fellows, better change your ways
Or they'll be leaving this town in a matter of days.
The girls say, and it rings so true,
We fellows run around with someone new.
I'm leaving, leaving here,
I'm leaving, leaving here,
Yeah, one by one
Yeah, two by two
Yeah, three by three
Yeah, four by four.

Loving woman is a wonderful thing
But the way that we treat'em is a crying shame.
One day, one day, and it won't belong.
And all them fine chicks be gone.

I'm leaving, leaving here,
I'm leaving, leaving here,
Hey, you fellows, better change your ways
Or they'll be leaving this town in a matter of days.
The girls say, and it rings so true,
We fellows run around with someone new.
I'm leaving, leaving here,
I'm leaving, leaving here,
Yeah, one by one
Yeah, two by two
Yeah, three by three
Yeah, four by four,
Oh yeah, Oh, yeah hah,
I'm leaving here.

24. Locomotive

[I. Kilmister, M. Burston]
[Motor Music Ltd.]

You know I'm rollin' know I'm coming through
Hear me howlin', catchin' up on you
Station to station, beating up the track
Check on your time, 'cos I ain't never coming back.

[CHORUS:]
You know I'm loaded, railroaded
I'm explosive, I'm a locomotive

I'm your engineer, looping up the curve
Stoke up your fire babe, burning up your nerve
You know the story, know that I can't fail
Power and glory, burning up the rails

[CHORUS]

Roll you all night babe, drive you round the bend
Broke down engine fired up again
Ain't got no brakeman, got no mail to drop
Rollin' forever, never gonna stop

[CHORUS]
