MOTÖRHEAD

THE BEST OF MOTÖRHEAD LIVE

1. ACE OF SPADES

If you like to gamble, 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
The Ace Of Spades

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all the game to me,

Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you.

2. 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, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the snakebite kiss
Devil's grip, the Iron Fist

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, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the snakebite kiss
Devil's grip, the Iron Fist.

3. HEART OF STONE

You seem to think that it's a game
I wish I could recall your name
You tell me how I should behave
Sling your hook I ain't your slave
Leave me alone, get off the phone
I've got a heart of stone

You play emotional roulette
I ain't seen no winners yet
You know you're dancing in the dark
Stay away, I ain't your mark
Leave me alone, get off the phone
I've got a heart of stone

Heart of stone

In every game you hold the ace
But you ain't even in my race
You'll never realise just why
It's just been hello goodbye
Leave me alone, get off the phone
I've got a heart of stone

Heart of stone.

4. THE HAMMER

Let the killer go, don't let your mother know,
Don't go out tonight, don't even try to fight,
'Cos I can see, I've got the thing you need,
And I'm here to stay, it's gonna be that way,

Don't try to run, don't try to scream,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna smash your dream

I'm in your life, just might be in your wife,
Could be behind your back, I might be on your track,
And it might be true, I might be onto you,
I'll scare you half to death, I'll take away your breath,

Don't try to see, don't try to hide,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna make you die

There ain't no way, you'll see another day,
I'm shooting out your lights, bring you eternal night,
And your eternal tricks, begin to make me sick,
The only thing I know, is that you've gotta go,

Don't try to hide, don't look around,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna bring you down,

Believe me, The Hammer's coming down!

5. JAILBAIT

Hey baby you're a sweet young thing,
Still tied to Mommy's apron strings,
I don't even dare to ask your age,
It's enough to know you're here backstage,
You're Jailbait, and I just can't wait,
Jailbait baby come on

One chase 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 get down

Tell you baby oh you look so fine,
Sending quivers up and down my spine,
I don't care about our different ages,
I'm an open book with well thumbed pages,
Jailbait, oh and I ain't too late,
You're Jailbait baby get down.

6. AMERICA

America, cold as death, up to Canada, Crystal Meth
The endless road, another night to bend your mind
White line fever, I think that patrol car's still behind

America, hot as hell, hysterical, cast your spell
Another West Coast turnaround and back to start
Yakima Reservation, just another broken heart

America

America, liked it fine, Sinsemilla, Ripple Wine
Another Schoolgirl with her daddy's Pontiac
Another killer from the wrong side of the tracks

America, fast cars, America, the girls, the bars
America, don't make no fuss, America, get on the bus.

7. (I DON'T NEED) RELIGION

I Don't need no blind belief
I Don't need no comic relief
I Don't need to see the scars
I Don't need Jesus Christ Superstar
I Don't need no Sunday Television
Bet your life I don't need religion

I Don't need no time for prayer
I Don't save no knee-pads for me up there
If your head's alright,
Ya don't need binoculars to see the light
Ya don't need no miracle vision
Bet your life you don't need religion

I don't need no Santa Claus
I Don't believe in fairies no more
I Don't need to go to confession
I'm already trying to fight depression
Don't need no exorcism
I Bet ya life I don't need religion.

8. 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

Capricorn, 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

Capricorn, Capricorn, 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

Capricorn, Capricorn, Capricorn.

9. (DON'T LET 'EM) GRIND YA DOWN

People gonna make ya wonder if you're right
Keep ya wide awake and worried late at night
Why don't ya tell'em to beat it
Why don't ya tell'em to eat it
Just a bunch of clowns, don't let 'em grind ya down

Sons of bitches, crocodile tears in their eyes
We scare'em shitless just by showin' up alive
Why don't you tell'em to shove it
They might as well love it
Give you runaround, don't let 'em grind ya down

Evil bastards ain't got nothin' else to do
Make your life a misery and put you off your food
Don't you dare to go under
Don't let'em steal your thunder
Listen to the sound, well let 'em grind that down.

10. (WE ARE) THE ROAD CREW

Another town another place,
Another girl, another face,
Another truck, another race,
I'm eating junk, feeling bad,
Another night, I'm going mad,
My woman's leaving, I feel 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 I've left behind,
Another drink completely blind,
Another hotel I can't find,
Another backstage pass for you,
Another tube of super glue,
Another border to get through,
I'm driving like a maniac,
Driving 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 learn to say,
Another blasted customs post,
Another bloody foreign coast,
Another set of scars to boast,
We Are The Road Crew.

11. 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

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
No Class.

12. BITE THE BULLET

Stepping out, I'm leaving here,
No use crying, crying in my beer,
Enough's enough, believe it's true,
Bite The Bullet, I'm leaving you

Said goodbye, I left a note,
But I don't remember, just what I wrote,
The same old words, to say we're through,
Bite The Bullet, I'm leaving you

So that's the way, it always ends,
Get sympathy, from all your friends,
Seems there's nothing, nothing else to do,
Bite The Bullet, I'm leaving you.

13. 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, I like a little whizz,
Treat 'em like ladies, that's a fact,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch

The silver tongued devil, demon lynch,
You know just what I'm doing,
I like a little innocent bitch,
You know I ain't just screwing,
I ain't

I love you baby, know you're 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!
