하드락과 글램록의 경계를 넘나들며 자신들만의 음악 세계를 보여주었던 슬레이드의 대표적인 앨범으로 과거 올드락 매니아들의 수집의 표적이 되었던 앨범이다. 그들의 음반 가운데 보기 드물게 빌보드 챠드에 랭크 되기도 하였던 앨범으로 5곡의 보너스 트랙과 함께 만날수 있는 기회를 놓치지 마시길..
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
New York City, N.Y.C., Pretty mean when it wants to be, Black leather, knee-hole pants, Can't play no high school dance, Fuzz tone, hear 'em go, hear 'em on the radio,
Bad boy rock, bad boy roll, Gabba gabba, see them go, C. Jay now hit the gas, Hear Marky kick some ass, Go Johnny, go, go, go, go Tommy o-way-o,
(Chorus)
Bad boys then, bad boys now, Good buddies, mau, mau, mau, Keep it up, rock 'n' roll, good music save your soul, Taylor Taylor, he left home, Joey call me on the phone.
Sixteen years old To fight for a land fit for heroes when I went to the war and a gun in my hand God on my side
Chasing my days down to zero And I marched, and I fought And I bled, and I died But I knew at the time And I never did get any older That a year in the line Was a long enough life for a soldier
We all volunteered And we wrote down our names And we added two years to our ages Eager for life And ahead of the game Ready for history's pages
And we brawled, and we fought And we hoped to be stuped Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder At thirst for the Hun And that's what you are when you're soldiers We were food for the gun
As he sank to his knees I heard my friend cry Coughing blood as he screemed for his mother And I fell by his side Clinging like kids to each other
And I wept as his body grew colder And that's how we died And I lay in the mud, and the guts and the blood Though it wasn't my fault, and I wasn't to blame And I called for my mother, but she never came The day not half over, and ten thousand slain And now there's nobody remembers our names And that's how it is For each soldier
The beast behind our eyes is loose, The day has come, the day has come, We march to Armageddon, hungry for the war I see the hated enemy, I see what I was taught to see
And one of us will bend the knee We understand the law
The blood lust jerks our legs to march, Fife and drum, fife and drum Our eyes are fixed and fearless Searching for the war Our statesmen deal in blood and lies 100 million stifled cries, 100 million wasted lives Already gone before
So March or Die, March or Die The stench of death is in the sky We never fail to satisfy We rend with tooth and claw
Sword and shield and jackboot heel We love to kill, we love to kill We love to taste our own blood Squirm in our own gore
Children weep and widows wail, Our education systems fail, To hide our guilt we build more jails, and we shall build still more Our forests die, the stranglehold That we put on the earth for gold Will yet increase ten thousand fold And no one knows what for
March and die, March and die Defecate, despoil and lie Cheat, dissemble, preach & spy Build your house of straw
Laugh and cry, laugh and cry Bloody sunset drowns the sky For earth the heal then we must die No-one deserves it more
I tell you we are doomed my friends Our time is come, our time is come We live within a charnel house Rotten to the core We glorify lust, greed & pain We drown our hope in poison rain We point the finger, shift the blame Ambition makes us whores
March or croak, march or croak All your lives a cosmic joke Fill your days with piss and smoke The wolf waits at your door
Burn and dance, burn and dance Sex, death, torture, false romance Whoop and howl, you have no chance Burn & rise no more
When I was young I was the nicest guy I knew I thought I was the chosen one But time went by and I found out a thing or two My shine wore off as time wore on I thought that I was living out the perfect life But in the lonely hours when the truth begins to bite I thought about the times when I turned my back
Don't you say a word to me Always barking up my tree I don't need no more grief, no more third degree Turn sunshine into rain Turn pleasure into shame Turn everything I say, inside out again
It seems, it seems the same It seems, I ain't to blame It seems, that you're insane Don't you take my name in vain
Tell me what a dog I am Tell me it's 'cause I'm a man Tell you what, who gives a damn Just another scam Ain't me that's wrong this time Ain't me that's out of line Ain't me, it ain't my crime Your rap, 'cause it ain't mine
It seems, it seems the same It seems, I ain't to blame It seems, that you're insane Don't you take my name in vain
Seems like you know the rules I know you ain't no fool, you think you're somethin' else, You look pretty cool, You ought to reconsider, I ain't no Indian giver I been as fair as I know how so shut your mouth
You know it all seems It's only in your dreams I'm getting sick to death of swimming up the stream I'm gonna ask you nice, and then I'll ask you twice If that don't work you get your ass back in your jeans
Seems to me, seems the same Seems to me, I ain't to blame Seems to me that you're insane Don't you take my name in vain
