1. HURRY ON SUNDOWN

Well hurry on sundown
See what tomorrow brings
Hurry on sundown
See what tomorrow brings
Well it may bring war
Any old thing
Well look into your mind's eye
See what you can see
There's hundreds of people like you and me.


2. MOTORWAY CITY

Turning star projections
Voices from the deep
The throbbing of the engines
You exit from the heat
Paper on the pavement
Cars crawling in the road
Emotions of the city
You ease your heavy load

Motorway City, well it ain't the same
Lighting up the night sky with an orange flame
Motorway City, you exit on the right
Cruising on the highway driving thru the night
Motorway City, well it ain't the same
Lighting up the night sky with an orange flame


3. MOTORHEAD

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 its righteous stuff
Goes up like prices at Christmas

Motorhead
You can call me Motorhead alright

Braindead total amnesia
Get some mental anaesthesia
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights
I guess I?ll see ya all on the ice
All good clean fun, have another stick of gum
Man you look better already

Motorhead
You can call me 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
If I can?t be wrong, I must be right
I should be tired, and all I am is wired
Ain't felt this good for an hour

Motorhead,
You can call me Motorhead, all night.



4. OVER THE TOP

- intro - stage chat: This is a very heavy microphone stand. No queen could manage this - I tell you that.
This is a real man's microphone stand here Dave... Where d'you got these stands from? They're really heavy - So are you.
Well we're gonna do something really heavy in a minute. Like - fall off the stage on top of you, With about two hundred weight of iron in my hand.
You're a very tiny person, aren't you? You're all very tiny down there. You know, when I'm up here, I feel so big and mighty,
I feel like I'm the Master - Of the - Universe. You made me feel like that, And now, it's almost true.
Just wait and see what we do.

All in a day's work, all in, all in.
All in a day's work, all in, all in.
All in a day's work, all in all.

I would rather the fire storms of atmospheres
Than this cruel descent from a thousand years
of dreams, into the starkness of the capsule.

Where two of our crew still lay suspended cool
in their tombs of sleep.
Those nagging choirs of memory
the tubes and wires
worming from their flesh to machinery
I would have to cut

Such midwifery is but one function of the leader here
Floating in a sac of fluid dark
A clear century of space
Away from Earth
While one man stares from the trauma of his birth
Attending to the hypno-tapes
Assuring him
that this was reality
however grim
Our journey's end

Landing itself was nothing
We touched upon a shelf of rock
selected by the automind
And left a galaxy of dreams behind.....

And it's all a fable for fountains now.
It's all a fable for fountains now.
It's all a fable for fountains now.
All your childhood dreams, are available
For fountains now,
For fountains now,
Now now,
Now now now,
Fountains, fountains,
All going up in fountains, fountains.

And just a minute now.
When you look into my eyes,
You're looking at your own reflection.
And all you see is your disguise
You wear for your own protection.
So don't go telling me that you know just when to stop,
When to stop.
You know you`re going over the top.
Over the top.
It's over the top. Over the top.
Hey he's going, over the top.
Over the top, alright here it goes...

In 1916,
They dug the trenches.
We don't need them;
We have our own defences.
We don't need no officers to blow no whistle and scream
"Come on you guys wake up out of your dream
And follow me
Cos I'm going - Over the top.
Over the top. Follow me over the top.
Here he goes now,
Your country needs you."
Hey Kitchener, don't you know that moustaches went out with the Beatles?
Give me white feather! Give me white feather!
Give me white feather! Hung upon the wire. (2x)
Hung upon the wire.
Strung on barbed wire. Strung on barbed wire.

Goodbye genocide


5. WHO'S GONNA WIN THE WAR

Lonely figures waiting, Shadows on a hill,
Looking into valleys where everything is still.

Only death is lurking, The creeping sickness waits
So who's gonna win the war, Who's gonna win the war.

Radiation-Wasteland in the setting-sun
Dust clouds they are rising to obliterate the guns.

Already weeds are writing their scriptures in the sand,
So who's gonna win the war, Who's gonna win the war.


6. SOCIAL ALLIANCE

A social alliance, are you in distress?
Just contact me and I'll do my best
She said "I'm a person, so don't abuse me"
You know I am a doctor of the third degree

We're part of a structure
That needs no consent
You think you're the same
Now we're all different
Jeanie lives for fashion
And I live to fight
Before life was easy

Now we're creatures of the night

We're creatures of the night
We're creatures of the night
We're creatures of the night
Creatures of the night

Don't miss the sensation
It's never too late
If you think you're ready
There's no need to wait
Can your mind take it?
Do you really care?
