Fast Eddie Clarke

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

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?

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
