Brian Robertson

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

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 cheap
Better get some more of that
City kids, we don't give that to you, oh no

Bombs go off the night
Searing heat, blinding light, you like it fine
Park the car and run
Dance all night, it was for fun, we're nasty

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

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

I'm leaving, leaving here
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

I'm leaving, leaving here
I'm leaving, leaving here

Yeah, one by one, yeah, two by two
Yeah, three by three, yeah, four by four

[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
One day, one day and it won't be long
And all them fine chicks will be gone

I'm leaving, leaving here
I'm leaving, leaving here

Yeah, two by two, yeah, four by four
Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah
I'm leaving here
[Incomprehensible]

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

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
You're on your own now
You're on your own now
You're on your own now

Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

Nobody knows, I know nobody cares

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!

Sunshine and 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, remember me, now Motorhead, alright

Brain dead, total amnesia, get some mental anesthesia
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights
I guess I'll see you all on the ice

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
If I can't be wrong I must be right

I should be tired and all I am is wired
Ain't felt this good for an hour
Motorhead, remember me, now, Motorhead, alright

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Motorhead, remember me, now, Motorhead

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,

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
You're on your own now
You're on your own now
You're on your own now

Do you remember?

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

Johnny the Fox he called to Jimmy the Weed
He said "Hey man, I know your name"
I seen you cruising with the low riders
Hanging out down on First street and Main

Tuned into and listen to the voodoo Rhythm Devils
Around the Bay
They've got some crazy DJs
Send you right out to heaven

Jimmy the Weed for greed was taken aback
Johnny the Fox you old sly cat
Cleverly the Fox concealed his stash
Crisp dollar bills leave no tracks

In the back of a black cadillac
The voodoo music travels
Down Skid Row only black men can go
The shady deal unravels

Johnny the Fox, hot to hustle
Jimmy the Weed won't use no muscle
that cat's so sly, slick and subtle
Johnny the Fox breaks out the bottle

Tuned into and listening to
The voodoo music travels
The beating drum for the lonely one
Sends you out to heaven

The sacred heart is bleeding
Go tell the Holy Ghost
That the junkie is still cheating
To get the thing he needs the most

Lady Luck has me covered
Keeping her watchful eyes over me
The lovers are discovered
The charge is first degree

Angel, she's a killer
Just flown in from the coast
Makes the hit, it's a winner
Leaves you dead as the post

Sally took to playing poker
The joker is her favorite card
The drunk he can't stay sober
He says it's much too hard

Meantime something seedy
Was happening across the hall
Somebody seemed to be groaning
You could hear it through the wall

The cops they came like lightning
The bullets flew astray
The noise it was frightening
The crook he got away

I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail a STARRY night,the CAMPFIRE light The coyote call, and the howling winds wail So I'll ride out to the old sundown I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female The nights we spent together riding on the RANGE Looking back it seems so strange Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo I was took in Texas I did not know her name Lord, all these southern girls seem the same Down below the border in a town in Mexico I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Running free with the buffalo Here I go Roll me over and I'll turn around And I'll move my fingers up and down Up and down It's ok amigos Just let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till i hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and set me free The cowboy's life is the life for me

Down from the glen came the marching men
with their shields and their swords
To fight the fight they believed to be right
overthrow the overlords

To the towns where there was plenty
they brought plunder, swords and flame
When they left the town was empty
and children would never play again

from their graves I heard them falling
above the battle cry
By the bridge near the border
there were many born to die

Then onward, over the mountain
and outward towards the sea
They come to claim the Emerald
without it they could not leave

Brothers here I stand
Spread my wings and take command
The sky he justly planned
The boy become a man

After all this time
I tell myself that I'm
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I'm not that way inclined

Brothers if you hear
Raise your flags and make it clear
There is more to fear
If we wait for another year

After all this time
I tell-a [repeat] myself that I'm
Just passing through time

Oh...
(solo)

After all this time
I tell myself that I'm
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I'm not that way inclined

Brothers fight or fall
It's man for man and one for all
No more can we crawl
Brothers, brothers hear the call

After all this time
I tell myself that I'm
Not just wasting time
Oh you know I'm not that way inclined

Brother brother
Brother brother

Brother fight or fall
It's man for man and one for all

Brother brother
Brother brother

What you want?
We gotta fight for one another!

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town
See me and the boys we don't like it
So were getting up and going down

Hiding low looking right to left
If you see us coming I think it's best
To move away do you hear what I say
From under my breath

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around

Don't you be around

Tonight there's gonna be trouble
Some of us won't survive
See the boys and me mean business
Bustin' out dead or alive

I can hear the hound dogs on my trail
All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail
Like the game if you lose
Go to jail

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around

Tonight there's gonna trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So woman stay with a friend

You know it's safer

Breakout!

Tonight there's gonna be a breakout
Into the city zones
Don't you dare to try and stop us
No one could for long

Searchlight on my trail
Tonight's the night all systems fail
Hey you good lookin' female
Come here!

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around

Tonight there's gonna be trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
So woman stay with a friend

Romeo and the lonely girl
They seemed to hit it off
Till Romeo told the lonely girl
"I must take my leave, my love"

It was these few words I overheard
And thought, "I should move in"
But before I could
The lonely girl had fallen in love again

Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own-ee-o
Oh poor Romeo

Romeo he had it rough
The guy you'd like to burn
But everything that Romeo had
You can bet it was well earned

For all his good looks
There were scars that he took
And there is a lesson
To be learned

Never judge a lover
By a good looking cover
Because the story
Might be spurned

Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own-ee-o
Oh poor Romeo

Romeo he like to put it around
He was everybody's friend
But in the end even Romeo found
On no one could he depend

For all his charms
In someone else's arms
Lonely girl
Safely lay

When the train pulled in
It had to leave again
And Romeo
Pulled away

Oh poor Romeo
Sitting all on his own-ee-o
Oh poor Romeo

I'm a fool now that it's over
can you guess my name
I make money singin' songs about you
it's my claim to fame
When they say it's over
it's not over, there's still the pain

And I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again
Oh I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again

If I said I was sorry
would you still have leaved me?
I never thought you would go
'till you did
believe me
When they say it's over
it's not over completely

'Cause I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again
Yes I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again

I miss that girl

The show is over, and we must all go home
just leave me by myself
I'll be alright here on my own
If it's all over, it's all over
and I'm all alone

And I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again
Don't you know I'd come runnin'
I'd come running back to you again
Oh my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my
Oh tra la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Oh na na na na na na na na na

Guess who just
got back today
Them wild eyed boys
that'd been away
Haven't changed

But man I still think

They were askin'

How you was where

Told them you were

Drivin' all

Used to dance a lot

She'd be on the floor

She was cool

I mean she was

And that time over
at Johnny's place
Well this chick

Friday night they'll

Down at Deano's bar
and grill
The drink will flow
and blood will spill
And if the boys
wanna fight
You better
let 'em
That jukebox
in the corner
Blasting out
my favorite song
The nights are
gettin' warmer
It won't be long
won't be long
'Til summer

Now that the boy

The boys are

I am the warrior
I serve the death machine
Losers or conquerors
All flash past on my silver screen

Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds

It ain't pretty...

I am a messenger
The message here, you must know
I am the warrior
I deliver the fatal blow

So fate will have to wait
Till time can heal the scar
My heart is ruled by Venus
And my head by Mars

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

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
