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

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

When I passed you in the doorway
Well, you took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance

Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
And my father he's going crazy
He say's I'm living in a trance

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's all right, all right
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten

Now I won't get out until Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
Oh but it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's all right, all right
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

And I'm walking home
The last bus is long gone
But I'm dancing in the moonlight

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's all right, all right
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's all right, all right
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's all right, all right
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

Who's got the funk
When you're feeling low down
Who's going to love you
When there's no one else around

Who's going to help you
Especially when you're sick
Mother Mary
I need you quick

She knows and she gives her everything
She knows and she can do her thing
She knows and she tries her best
She knows, oh, you know she knows

Who's got the junk
When you're feeling low down
Who's going to give
When there's none to go around

Who's going to help you
When you feel you've had enough
Mother Mary
This time it's rough

But Mother Mary
Do you feel the pain?
I'm falling down
And I can't get up again

Do ya, do ya, do ya
Do ya, do ya, do ya
Just a slide guitar injection

Who's going to help you
Especially when you're ill
Loving Mary
I hope you will

But Mother Mary
Do you feel the pain?
I'm falling down
And I can't get up again

Do ya, do ya, do ya
Do ya, do ya, do ya

Mother Mary, is there nothing you can do?

You don't believe in love
You don't believe in hatred
Put your money in the bank
It's the only way to save it
You try to make a buck
But you haven't made a penny
You need a little luck
But you know you won't get any
You don't believe in God
You don't believe in glory
You've got a brother in the clinic
Tells the same kind of story
If he had another life
He'd know what would be waiting
If he had another soul
He could sell it all to Satan
You don't believe in war
You don't believe in Jesus
Got a sister in New York
She knows how she pleases
Walking the streets
On the south side of the city
Trying to make ends meet
Isn't that a pity...for money
