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
They locked me up, put me away Said "You're gonna get out in forever and a day" I didn't know what was going on All I was doing was looking for fun Forgot the reason, that's what I'm told But you've gotta get it in before you get old They thought they had me, had me for keeps But they don't know this boy never sleeps I'm back on the streets again I'm back on my feet again I'm On Parole, On Parole I like laugh, I like a joke It's not my fault if my sense of humour broke I tried to tell them I was sick They said they think it was some kind of a trick Alright, I would have done good If they had listened to me like they should I wouldn't have this loaded gun Looking for a citizen to kill just for fun It's good to be free again It's good to be me again I'm On Parole, On Parole Stop me now before I kill myself, Stop me before I kill somebody else! You'd better watch out, you never know Who's going to be the next to go Night my friend, but it ain't yours Fixes the odds, evens the scores Just turn around, I won't go wrong When he hits the ground I'll be long gone They won't suspect me, no not a soul 'Cos I'm a good boy I'm On Parole I'm raising my sights again I'm claiming my rights again I'm On Parole, On Parole Stop me now before I kill myself Stop me now, or get somebody else
Larger than life, sharper than a knife Ever ready for the time Slick and smooth I'm bound to improve your mood And make you feel fine Reach for me, I'm ready and how I'm really starting to buzz Your feeling comes, I'm starting to hum I can do it like nothing else does You're never alone when I'm around You can always rely on me I'm a friend, my love won't bend And that I can guarantee Straight and true and all for you I'm so eager to please Stick with me and I'll keep you free From any nasty disease 'Cos I'm a Vibrator Pleased to make a start Vibrator, with a powerpack for a heart Check my heart before you start I don't wanna blow no fuse New battery, is that for me? That's something I could really use Power surge I get the urge To do my legendary thing The stars in your eyes don't tell no lies I know your bells are starting to ring 'Cos I'm a Vibrator Pleased to make a start Vibrator, with a powerpack for a heart Vibrator! Vibrator! Wasn't that good, now wasn't that nice? Now see we get along real fine I knew I was the boy for you When you came for the second time Clean me up, put me away You know you need the rest I'll be here when next you need me I've never ever failed the test 'Cos I'm a Vibrator Pleased to make a start Vibrator, with a powerpack for a heart I'm a Vibrator Pleased to make a start I'm a Vibrator And I'll never ever break your heart
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 Loaded forever, and righteously stoned On Iron Horse he flies, on Iron Horse he gladly dies Iron Horse his wife, Iron Horse his life Yeah, slide it to me! One day one day, they'll go for the sun Together they'll slide, on the eternal run Wasted forever, on speed bikes and booze Yeah tramp and the brothers, all born to lose On Iron Horse he flies, on Iron Horse he gladly dies Iron Horse his wife, Iron Horse his life
Nobody knows I know nobody cares what goes on in here We have this door Nobody gets in until I'm really sure Don't creep up behind me You know where to find me I'm always around Turns out if you need us, before you lead us astray Don't care who we meet We're orphans here on Easy Street and we feel real mean Cruising on speed We've got more than we'll ever need, ain't life sweet? We won't turn your pay down City Kids don't lay down, we don't call so Better get some more of that City Kids we don't give that to you, oh no Bombs go off at night Searing heat, blinding light, you like it fine Park the car and run Dance all night, it was for fun, we're nasty, hahahaha! Why do we do it No-one can get through it we know where to run You hear what we're saying Time that you were praying 'cos City Kids time, won't be long Won't be long, no it won't be long!
This is a song for all you managers and agents out there Are ya listening? Good! They take your money, break your soul They say it's only rock 'n' roll They think they're cool to wheel and deal Without a thought to how we feel They pick you up and drop you flat Then tell you life can be like that You blew it all the day you signed Your stupid name on some dotted line We hate the men, who make the rules The ones who always try so hard to make us look like Fools! They say we need them it ain't true The music's down to me and you We play their games, play real nice We gotta hear their dumb advice We hate the men, who make the rules The ones who always try so hard to make us look like Fools! So many lies, they get confused You start to feel you're being used If ten percent is all they take What happens to all the bread you make? Every day it gets a little harder Just to keep on keeping on Do we really need all this bullshit So long now all the thrill has gone We hate the men, who make the rules The ones who always try so hard to make us look like Fools! It's so hard to make us look like you!
We are looking in on you now What do you think you can do now It's very small from way out here The last thing you will feel is fear Give you a chance to do the right thing Give you a chance to do the bright thing Now our sense is all disgusted Where you're from you can't be trusted Where I come from no-one smiles Every inch exists in miles Still it's cool relaxed and calm Sitting here on the Funny Farm World in prison screams in pain There are no leaders you can blame Human greed destroys your sphere And there's no room for you out here You're on your own now.
Hey, fellows have you heard the news The women in this town are being misused Seen it all in a dream last night You'll be leaving this town 'cause you don't feel right 'Cos I'm Leaving, Leaving Here Hey fellows, better change your ways Or they'll be leaving this town in a matter of days They all say, and everything's so true We fellows run around with someone new 'Cos I'm Leaving, Leaving Here Yeah, one by one, yeah two by two Yeah three by three, yeah four by four Hey fellows, better change your ways Or they'll be leaving this town in a matter of days One day, one day and it won't be long And all them fine chicks will be gone 'Cos I'm Leaving, Leaving Here Yeah two by two, yeah four by four Oh yeah, I'm Leaving Here
You only get a single chance The rules are very plain The truth is well concealed inside The details of the game You can hear it coming You can see it from afar It's pale and it glimmers Like a faded movie star And out there in the castle They're trying to make us scream By sticking thumb tags in a flash And cancelling the dream Can you find the Valium Can you bring them soon Lost Johnny's out there Baying at the moon The time has come for you to choose You'd better get it right Pulling girls with sharp white teeth Are waiting in the night But you want to really get some It surely can't be hard There's always trouble lurking When you leave your own backyard Underneath the city The alligators sing Of how the fool he cannot dance When someone cuts the strings Can you find the morphine Try to be so brief Lost Johnny's out there Looking for relief That laddie looks so evil And you know he really tries But every time he makes a play That battle compromise And shall I find their underwear From a store where no one goes She makes it big in dugs On the strength of what she shows And here inside the waiting room The radio still screams And we're shooting children To murder all young things Can you find your credit card For god's sake make it quick Lost Johnny's out there Trying to turn a trickTop
