Lyrics


Louie, Louie

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

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.

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

Too Late, Too Late

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]

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

Like A Nightmare

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

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

Over The Top

The Golden Years EP

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

Dirty Love

St. Valentines Day Massacre EP

Motörhead (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

Over The Top (live)

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 etc.

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 etc.

Remember Me, I'm Gone

I Got Mine

Here's the story, there's only me
No other place for you to be
It's 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 baby, go back to start
I got your picture in my heart
It's only me babe, it's only me
Refuse, disposal, refugee
Rock'n'Roll you just might be my new career
Rock'n'Roll you just might be my new career

Come on baby, come on with me
You got me fallin out my tree
Be my lover, the number one
Be my friend but don't be gone
Nobody gonna interfere

Turn You Round Again

Tales Of Glory

I can't believe the tales you tell me
I ain't buyin' the stuff you sell me
Hey baby, I'm tellin' ya what
You think I'm sold, baby I'm not
You tell me, tales of glory
But I know, whoa babe, it's the same old story

You think I'm gonna fall for you
You reckon that I'm goin' right thru
But I ain't no adolescent
I'm just gonna keep your guessing
You ain't gonna stitch me up
You'll find that I'm real bad luck
I'm gonna leave you babe
But think of the money you'll save
You tell me, tales of glory
But I know whoa babe it's the same old story

Leave me out, leave me out
Sick and tired without a doubt
Get me out, get me out
Get me out of here

Endlessly, endlessly
You mouth won't set me free
Endlessly, endlessly
Rabbit in my ear
