Lyrics


01. THE ACE OF SPADE

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



02. 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



03. 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, 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, No Class
Ah No Class, 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 merely tragic,
No Class, baby No Class
No Class, ah No Class



04. I GOT MINE

Here's the story, there's only me,
No other place for you to be,
I'ts 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 lover, go back to start,
I got your picture in my heart,
It's only me babe, it's only me,
Refuse disposal refugee,
Right now, right here,
You just might be my new career,
Right now, this time,
You got yours and I Got Mine

Come on baby, stay close to me,
You got me fallin' out my tree,
Be my lover, the only one,
Be anything but don't be gone,
Right now, right here,
Ain't gonna let you disappear,
Right now, this time,
You got yours and I Got Mine



05. 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.



06. IRON FIRST

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.



07. 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!



08. DEAD MAN TELL NO TAILS

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



09. 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



10. CAPRICORN

A thousand nights, I've spent alone,
Solitaire, to the bone,
But I don't mind, I'm my own best friend,
From the beginning, to the end,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn

December's child, the only one,
What I do, is what I've done,
I realise, I get so cold,
When I was young I was already old,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn

I always knew, the only way,
Is never live, beyond today,
They proved me right,
They proved me wrong,
But they could never last this long,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn



11. POISON

People tell me you didn't know better,
Give me sermons 'bout the things I do,
Come to love 'em, even wrote letters,
You know I even asked it of you, I said,
I've been doing Poison,
I guess I poisoned my life,
I've been doing Poison,
it's better than marrying your wife
On the road, the pace is getting frantic,
Specially when your poisoned out your mind,
A flight of stairs is like swimming the Atlantic,
When you're poisoned, deaf, dumb and blind,
I take my poison,
I guess I poisoned my life,
Been doing Poison,
I wish I'd Poisoned my wife

My Father, he used to be a Preacher,
Never taught me nothing but scorn,
If I ever catch him on the street, yeah,
I'll make him wish he'd never been born,
He was Poison,
Guess he poisoned my life
He was Poison,
I wish my mother wasn't his wife, no!



12. 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)



13. MOTORHEAD

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...



14. 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



15. KILLED BY DEATH

Shut up
If you squeeze my lizard
I'll put my snake on you
I'm a romantic adventure
And I'm a reptile too

But it don't make no difference
Cos I ain't gonna be
Easy
Easy
The only time I'm easy is when I'm

Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
SHUT UP

I'm a lone wolf lizard
But I ain't no prettyboy
I'm a backbone shiver
And I'm a bundle of joy

But it don't make no difference
Cos I aint gonna be
Easy
Easy
The only time I'm easy is when I'm

Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death

Shut up

Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death

By death
By death
By death
By death
By death
By death
Killed by death
