Iron Fist

(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)

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.


Stay Clean

(Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor)

I can tell, seen before,
Know the way, I know the law,
I Can't believe, can't obey,
Can't agree with all the things that they say,
Oh no, don't ask me why,
I can't go on with all the filthy white lies, 
Stay Clean (x4)

Don't you know, all the time,
You got yours and you know that I have mine,
Grab a hold, don't let go,
Don't let them rob you of the only way you know,
Oh no, no-one else,
Got the right to make you sorry for yourself, 
Stay Clean 
Alright
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 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


On Your Feet Or On Your Knees

(Kilmister, Campbell, Burston, Dee)

I was looking at the T.V. news,
People everywhere blowing a fuse
People everywhere under the gun,
Little kids dying never had no fun

Human beings ain't got no brains
Think you're better but you're all the same
Think you're clever but you're all to blame
Here we are again in the same old frame

Shut up, I'm talking to you,
It's on television so it can't be true
And I can't play that game no more,
Wake up and see it through
Kill the many to save the few,
I know what the blind man sees
On your feet or on your knees

Headline terror crime on rise,
Half ain't true the rest is lies
Same old smile on the same old face,
Same old horse win the same old race

I wouldn't smile if I was you,
Don't relax, 'cos it ain't so new
Watch your back, light the light outside,
Somebody comin' that you just can't bribe

Shut up, I'm talking to you,
It's on television so it can't be true
But I can't believe their lies no more,
Watch out, I'm comin' through,
Boogey man gonna bite you too,
I know what the blind man sees
On your feet or on your knees

I was reading some magazine,
It was written for human beings
Can't believe the stuff I read,
Human trash for human heads

You humans don't be so proud,
You humans don't talk too loud
You humans just ain't too smart,
It's enough to break my human heart

Listen up, I'm talking to you
Pay attention 'cos I mean you too
And I will tell you something new
Your values ain't worth a dime
Human rights just human crime
I know what the blind man sees
On your feet or on your knees


Over Your Shoulder

(Dee, Burston, Campbell, Kilmister)

We know all the words of power,
All about the witching hour,
We know the reason why you're scared,
And here comes your nightmare.

Over your shoulder honey, you don't wanna turn around,
Bring the night closer, we are gonna bring you down,
It's the times that we live in, erosion of the mind,
Easy to be cruel, Hard to be kind.

When the mode of music changes,
The walls around the city shakes,
Look into the face of danger,
We know how to make you break.

Over your shoulder honey, right behind your back,
Make you a true believer, maybe give you heart attack
We are what you made us, see what we can find,
Easy to be cruel, Hard to be kind.

We can't help the way we feel,
We don't want to make a deal,
Look out, honey, use your head,
Might be murder in your bed.

Over your shuolder honey, the face still shines,
Nobody you recognize, isn't yours, isn't mine,
See the mouth smiling, make the words rhyme,
Easy to be cruel, Hard to be kind.


Civil War

(Campbell, Dee, Campbell, Ax)

White noise is coming
The wolf at your door
Do you hear the drummin'?
Outside your window
Outside your window

chorus:
Civil war, civil war
All your yesterdays gone before
Civil war, civil war
Can you tell me what you're fighting for?

Soldiers of Fortune
The traitor within
Blood on the pale moon
Outside your window, outside your window

chorus:

Children learn to kill
Bet your ass you'll pay the bill
Season of the dog
The dollar takes the place of God
Death laughs in your face
Anarchy will take your place
You give all your children guns
See what you have done
Backlash coming soon
Joker gonna call the tune

chorus:

Your children are learning
You teach them to hate
Your cities are burning
Outside your window
Outside your window


Burner

(Kilmister, Campbell, Burston, Dee)

Riots in the burning street
Crystal night outside
Brutal music in the night, enough to make you cry
Nobody knows how it is to sleep and drown the world
I am the midnight snake to bite your little girls
Outside in the distance, the city in the fire
See the houses burning down, mile after mile
I don't think you're gonna like the one you're going to get
Ghost rider in the sky

Burner

You will never stop me, you won't shut me down
This ain't no circus and I sure don't need no clowns
I can see things that you can't see
I can be the one that you can't be
The one you've always seen, the one you never see

Burner

Beat me like hammer, baby, stick me like a pig
Throw me to the lions, baby, wear me like a wig
I am not only one to walk into the fire
I cannot be beaten, I cannot be like you
I cannot be otherwise, no matter what you do
I am the voice of broken glass
I am the voice to drive you mad at last
I am the truth, the liar turned around

Burner


Metropolis


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 collide,
Ain't nobody on the other side,
I don't care, I'm not there.


Nothing Up My Sleeve


You're playing tricks babe, and that's a fact
Your magic circle ain't where's its at
One moment you were here, and then you disappeared
This ain't the first time that I've caught your act

Chorus
Nothing up my sleeve, babe
Watch out, watch out
Magic's what you need, babe
Just like that.

You know your slight of hand is messing up my life
Maybe this time babe you're gonna get it right
One moment I was there, now just an empty chair
This ain't the first time you've shout out my lights

Chrous

Saw me in half babe, and that's quite a trick
You make me laugh babe, you make me sick
I'm gone but now you lack the spell to bring me back
This ain't the first time I've seen your magic slip

Chorus
 

I'm So Bad, Baby I Don't Care

(Kilmister - Campbell - Burston - Taylor)

I make love to mountain lions,
Sleep on red-hot branding irons,
When I walk the roadway shakes,
Bed's a mess of rattlesnakes,
Voodoo child, black cat bone,

Scratch your back, hear you moan,
Get me up, you go down, tall building, single bound,

War and peace, peace and love, say it if you dare,
Iron fist, velvet glove,
I'm so bad, baby I don't care,

Black-hearted to the bone,
Older than The Rolling Stones,
Been to heaven, been to hell,
Bought the farm, and I won't sell,

Give and take, rise and fall, rise up and take it all,
Secret love, I won't tell, knock you up and ring your bell,

Kiss the whip, eat the gun,
Tell me it ain't fair, midnight victim, hit and run,
I'm so bad, baby I don't care,

I make the blind to see,
Shoot 'em full of R and B,
I make the lame to walk,
Come 'round and pop your cork,
Wham, bam, thank you ma'am,
I thought I heard the back door slam,
Overkill, walk the line, kill the lights, it's lampshade time,

On the road, on the lam, people running scared,
I'm everything they say I am, I'm so bad, baby I don't care.


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!
I can't hear ya!


Take the Blame

(Campbell/Dee/Kilmister)

You can see the way we do it here
You will be alright if you can change
You can be a rich man, you can start to climb.
Get into the rhythm, step into the line.

Chorus.

Politicians eat your words
Prohibition that's a joke
Exhibition of the criminally insane
You can take the money,
but can you take the blame
You can take the money,
but can you take the blame

You can be the new arising star
You can be the super new-wave boy
You can be a tyrant, you can rule by fear
That's the way they like it, stick it in their ear

Chorus.

Politicians eat your words
Prohibition that's a joke
Put your own children in Jail with a shame
You can take the money,
but can you take the blame
You can take the money,
but can you take the blame

Politician swine, you make me wanna puke
Waste my money, waste my time.
going by the book
Education fails no need to teach the poor
They just get in the way, until we have a war.
until we have a war...

You will never sorrow for your friends
You will never miss them for a day
You will be a hero, you will be a king
Get into the money, get into the swing

Chorus.

Politicians eat your words
Prohibition that's a joke
You can't fool everybody, you should be ashamed
You can take the money,
but can you take the blame
You can take the money,
but can you take the blame

See you on TV, you talk and talk and talk
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Liars, thieves and dorks
You may be in control,
so how come you're so scared
Is it because you feel, the hatred everywhere,
the hatred everywhere


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


Overnight Sensation

(Kilmister, Campbell, Dee)

I know you're only talking
To keep the silence out
Maybe you should listen and leave some room for doubt
You're just handing out bad reputations
Why don't you shut your mouth

chorus:
Overnight sensation,
All mouth and no soul
The bad boys sold your franchise
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll

I know I ain't no beauty
But I know who I am
I ain't running for sheriff
I ain't that kind of man
To live outside the law , my dear
You gotta give a damn

chorus:
Overnight sensation
You be shot full of holes
The bad boys stole your franchise
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll

You know you put the hurt on me
You do it all the same
Us guys ain't s'pose to hurt at all
Our faces fit the frame

You know I'm only talking
To keep you here with me
Maybe you should listen
How hard could it be
Good manners don't cost nothing
But that ain't what you want from me

chorus:
Overnight sensation
Turn your hard heart cold
The bad boys sold your franchise
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll

You're just looking for someone
To take your spirit home
The bad boys sold your franchise, baby
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll


Sacrifice

(Kilmister - Burston - Campbell - Dee)

Why do they not believe
I have not lied, even for this,
Now no-one can conceive
The lie becomes the loving kiss,
But I would not,
Fall in love,
Like this.

The woman stiches the shrouds,
The children murder all the world,
If only you believe,
Then only you will die,
How can you not,
See the stars,
In your eyes.

Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice,
Sacrifice, pay the price, blood like ice, sacrifice.

The pain is on you now,
Do not consider flight for gain,
In you the poison breeds,
Crawling with the mark of Cain,
And no-one shall,
Set you free,
Again.

Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice,
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice.


Born To Raise Hell
 
(Kilmister)

Listen up here, I'll make it quite clear
I'm gonna put some boogie in your ear
Shake and bop, don't you stop
Dance like a maniac until you drop

I don't mind, I don't mind
I can run a razor right up your spine
What are you waiting for
What do you think you were created for

Show us you care, show us you dare
You don't know what happened, not if you weren't there

Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know to do it and we do it real well
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Voodoo medicine, cast my spell
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Play that guitar just like ringin' a bell
Take it or leave it

Going for broke, rock till you choke
It don't matter if you drink or smoke
Speak through the beat, get up on your feet
Sweating like a hound dog, white as a sheet

Don't you be scared, don't you be scared
Everybody terrified, I don't seem fair
What are you waiting for
What do you think you were created for

Out of your seat, blind in the heat
Do the nasty boogie mama, stomp your feet


Lost In The Ozone

(Kilmister - Campbell - Burston - Dee)

I am a drifter on a hungry empty sea
There is no one on earth to rescue me
The winter storms they freeze me
Summer burned alive
I can't remember when another soul passed by

Marooned and stranded, on the Islands of the Damned
There is no one on earth to take my hand
There is no voice to speak, no soul for company
The sun goes down likw blood into the Western Sea

Alone and dying, and a thousand miles from home
I know I never was so broken and alone
I searched the sky for God, shivered to the bone
Drowned in sorrow, Lost in the Ozone

No hand for me, abandon me
Wash over me, watch over me, drowned forever
Alone and crying, and a thousand miles astray
Alone upon the cruel sea, forsworn and cast away
I turned my face to god, but his face was turned away

Lost in the Ozone, nothing left to say
Lost in the Ozone, nothing left to say
Nothing left to say, nothing left to say
Wash over me


The One To Sing The Blues

(Kilmister - Campbell - Burston - Taylor)

Don't know what I did to make you feel that way,
I can't always say just what I want to say,
I'm out of place again, you're on my case again,
Bringing up the past & sling it in my face again,
Put me in the frame,
So even if I win I lose,
Going down slow ain't the only way to go,

Listen to me honey, gonna tell you something funny,
Miss me when I'm gone you'll be the one to sing the blues,

Seems to me the good times ended way to soon,
Seems like faded echoes in an empty room,
Strangers in the night, strangers in the light,
Seems like every word we say just makes us scratch and bite,
You thought we had the answers,
We were sure we couldn't lose,
What you want from me,
Is all the things that I can't be,

Listen to me baby, I'm beginning to go crazy,
Miss me when I'm gone you'll be the one to sing the blues,

More I think about it it's a goddamn shame,
Opposites attract 'til they become the same,
Daggers in our eyes, time to say goodbye,
Time to stop pretending, time to stop the endless lies,
I wish you luck, babe, I hope you find a dream and it comes true,
What my eyes can't see don't make no difference to me,

Listen to me faking, even though my heart is breaking,
Miss you now you're gone, now I'm the one to sing the blues.
 

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, my star, 
Capricorn

December's child, the only one,
What I do, is what I've done,
I realize, I get so cold,
When I was young I was already old,

My life, my heart, black night, my star,
Capricorn

I always knew, the only way,
Is never live, beyond today,
They proved me right, they proved me wrong,
But they can never last this long,

My life, my heart, black night, dark star, 
Capricorn
 

Love For Sale

(Kilmister/Campbell/Dee)

Looking good, stepping out, looking for romance
Crazy arms, crazy legs, save me the last dance
Hold me tight, make me warm, give me shelter
Treat me right, in from the storm, helter skelter
You know the way, the game is tough
Need some motivation, to help you get it up
Chorus:
Cause it's only, love for sale, 
Heart of gold and hard as nails
I can't believe it's legal,
To send it through the mail
Only love for sale
Call me up, call me back, call me what you want to
Shoot your shot, shoot the moon, nothing that you can't do
All for me, one for all, shoulder to shoulder
Here and gone, sure like to ball, rock n' roller
You know the way, stuff goes around,
You need a half nelson, to help you get it down
Chorus
Rip it up, rip it out, Shake your money maker
Feels so good, in and out, real earth shaker
Get up close, stroke your bones, get a grip babe
Take a trip, take me home, feel the earth shift babe
You know the way, so get it right
You don't need an airplane, to get you through the night

Chorus out.


Orgasmatron


I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in you pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician, and I decide your fate

I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down.


Going To Brazil

(Kilmister - Campbell - Burston - Taylor)

Here we go again, on a 747,
Looking at the clouds from the other side of heaven,
Smoking & drinking, never gonna stop,
Reading magazines, stop me looking at the clock,
Wanna watch the movie, can't sit still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil,

Watching all the roadcrew attacking little girls,
Joined the mile high club, goin' round the world,
All the booze is free, airline going broke,
Here come the lady with another jack and coke,
Wanna watch the movie, can't sit still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil,

Steve, Clem, Hobbsy, John, Crazy Dil & Pappy,
Had to travel second class, they ain't too fucking happy,
Elevator music, butter in my ears,
Think we're gonna die, just the pilot changing gear,
Wanna watch the movie, can't sit still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil.
 

Killed By Death

(Kilmister - Burston - Campbell - Gill)

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


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
 

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've got to 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
 

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, you 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
