Ace Of Spades
(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)
Lemmy: "Here is a jolly opus which we did 'cos of me 'n
Eddie playing Poker Dice all the time in a van at 100 miles an
hour all over Europe. Eddie usually won!"

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

Motorhead (live)
(Kilmister)
Lemmy: "This is a song which I wrote at 7:30 AM on Roy
Wood's Ovation Acoustic, On a balcony of the Hyatt/Riot House in
L.A. 1974."

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...

Jailbait
(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)
Lemmy: "A jolly clever little number which Eddie
wrote the riff for, and I wrote the words for and Phil at the
time lived for! Dirty little devil."

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

Stay Clean
(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)
Lemmy: "This is a song about staying clean!! It means in
all things you do, not necessarily washing your legs! The upshot
is that if you stay clean they can't ever get you, at least not
easily!"

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

Too Late, Too Late
(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)
Lemmy: "That's what it'll be, if you don't bloody
listen! A nice number which is self explanatory."

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

Killed By Death
(Kilmister, Burston, Campbell, Gill)
Lemmy: "This is going to be our new signal, everyone.
It is a taster of the new band, for all of you who missed us
at Hammersmith Ode-odo (shame on you). Whaddya think? Well? I
said whaddya (what do you) think, (eh?) Jesus Christ. (Nothing
personal)"

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  *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 easy's when I'm
Killed by death

Bomber
(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)
Lemmy: "This despite all the other versions you may
hear, was an idea given to me by Len Deighton's book
of the same name (thanks Len). Doug thought of the metal
thingy."

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

Iron Fist
(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)
Lemmy: "Here is a song I wrote on the bass and then
Phil + Ed improved it! However, they couldn't improve on
the lyrics!"

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

Shine
(Kilmister, Taylor, Robertson)
Lemmy: "I said, "Why don't we do a twelve bar?" "Ok"",
they said, and I think it turned out jolly well, actually Brian
plays a blinder"

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

Dancing On Your Grave
(Kilmister, Taylor, Robertson)
Lemmy: "One of the best songs ever to come from
Motorhead. Brian wrote the riff with Philip, and I wrote
the words and a dynamo bass line. My next best quality
is modesty!!"

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

Metropolis
(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)
Lemmy: "This track is a complete mystery. I wrote it
(the lyric) in approx 2 minutes after seeing the film of
the same name in Portobello Electric Cinema. Eddie wrote
the riff 9/10. We still play it"

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

Snaggletooth
(Kilmister, Burston, Campbell, Gill)
Lemmy: "This is written in memory of my teeth (which are
now replaced and a good job too) + also gave me a chance
to be fucking clever with the Warewolf genre."

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 balls!

CHORUS

Overkill
(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)
Lemmy: "What can I say? Phil Taylor is responsible for
this. And Gerry Bron (may his house be free from tigers)
gave me the idea to write a song around the name."

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

Please Don't Touch
(Heath, Robinson)
Lemmy: "This is one of my proudest moments. Not
only did I get the chance to re-write the awful third
verse, but we all played like geniii (geniusses?). Don't you
wish you'd videod 'Top Of The Pops' I still love Kelly. (hello
Bernie)".

Well 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,

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,
Oh I remember the first time I took her to a cheap motel,
Well I woke up drunk, you know I felt like Eskimo Nell.

PLEASE DON'T TOUCH
I shake so much,

Well I get so nervous when I see his eyes that shine,
Gets too close and a chill runs down my spine.

Stone Dead Forever
(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)
Lemmy: "A murderer. Thant's all."

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.

Like A Nightmare
(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)
Lemmy: "This was one of my favourite B-sides.
Everyone didn't like it, but seeing as I'm the only one of the
old band left, here it is!!"

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

I can't beleive you
You can't be true
But I'll bereave you
I can't explain how good it feels
I know how you feel
When I set you free
Like a nightmare, like a nightmare babe,
Like a nightmare night, night, nightmare

Emergency
(Heath, Robinson)
Lemmy: "I think this is bloody marvelous. Eddie sings,
we play, (Denis one doubs). It's completely barmy and Denis
was later heard to say, "Jesus Christ""

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

Na Na Night Emergency (Emergency)
Na Na Night Emergency (Emergency)
Na Na Night Emergency (Emergency)
Na Na Night 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

Na Na Night Emergency (Emergency)
Na Na Night Emergency (Emergency)
Na Na Night Emergency (Emergency)
Na Na Night Emergency Emergency Emergency

Steal Your Face
(Kilmister, Burston, Campbell, Gill)
Lemmy: "The new band is Pete Gill on Thundering hooves,
Wurzel on Scarecrow guitar, Phil Campbell on stunning
strings and the same old bloody bass player."

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

Louie, Louie
(Berry)
Lemmy: "Here is our first ever single for Bronze which
was got on Top Of The Tots by Roger Bolton (may he live
forever) and gave them the confidence to issue another 30
singles which never made the Top20!!"

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

No Class
(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)
Lemmy: "This is one of the best songs of all time.
Even my Mum hates it!! Dedicated to you all."

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

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

Iron Horse
(Taylor, Brown, Lawrence)
Lemmy: "This was written for, with, and by the Angels.
With us from the beginning and probably to the end! (Hello
Tricky)."

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 lose

On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he gladly dies
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life

We Are The Road Crew
(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)
Lemmy: "This song I wrote the words for in 10 minutes
(ask 'em). It is still one of the best string of conciousness
things I ever heard. Dedicated to them, especially Graham
Reynolds (goooargh)."

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

Leaving Here
(Holland, Dozier, Holland)
Lemmy: "This is a song by The Byrds who included
Ron Wood, Pete McDaniels, Tony Munroe, Ali McKenzie + Kim
Gardner. They were one of the main influences on my life.
Blame them if you dare. (Hello lads)."

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.

Locomotive
(Kilmister, Burston, Campbell, Gill)
Lemmy: "Here is Motorhead as you have grown to expect
them. Write your opinion on a beatle wig and send it to
someone who gives a damn. Even if you get us banned, we
ain't gonna stop!"

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
