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

Love Me Like A Reptile
Knew I had to bite you baby when I first laid eyes on you
That moment turned me on, I can't believe it's true
And I like to watch your body sway
I got no choice, I'm gonna twist your tail
Love me like a reptile, I'm gonna sink my fangs in you

Thunder lizard, stony eye, you got me hypnotised
Hot tongue breaks in and out and I can't believe my eyes
And your soft white belly, next to mine
Scaly baby, see you shine
Love me like a reptile, you're murder in disguise
Black mamba, murderer disguised

Baby you're a rattlesnake, you know the way I feel
Feel you crawling up my back, you've got no love to steal
You know I've got my eyes on you
You're petrified, gonna stick like glue
Love me like a reptile, shock you like an electric eel

Shoot You In The Back
Western movies

The riders ride, into the night
Into the West, to see who's gun's the best
They're all fools, to live by rules
The rider wearing black
He's gonna shoot you in the back

The horseman turns, the wound that burns
The awful pain, the crimson rain
Got realise, before he dies
The rider wearing black
You know he's gonna shoot you in the back

It's suicide, to live on pride
You claim you own, your skin your bone
Your own life, cuts you like a knife
The rider wearing black
He's gonna shoot you in the back

In the Western movies

Live To Win
You know you can't be hurt
You gotta believe in your star
They'll always treat you like dirt
They can only push you so far
They can't take it away
If you've got something to say
They might try and fence you in
But you've only gotta live to win

I know it's hard, a natural drag
It's a hassle to fight
If you don't wanna be a slag
If you believe you're right
They've got the power now
But soon it's our hour now
We all know where we been
We all been living to win

You mustn't shout it out loud
Don't create a scene
Don't indulge in being proud
It only feeds their scheme
Break down the wall
Live it up it's their time to fall
Anarchy is coming in
If you know we live to win

Fast And Loose
Two o' clock in the morning baby
I know it's late, I know it's late
I'm dark and I like the night
And I can make you feel alright
I've been around for quite a while
And I've learned how I can make you smile
I know you won't refuse
You know I'm fast and loose

Two o' clock in the morning sugar
I know you're sleeping, you must be sleeping
Why don't you invite me in
Get yourself some original sin
I'll wake you up, but stay in bed
Don't get up, get down instead
I don't need no excuse
To like it fast and loose

No remorse
Two o' clock in the morning honey
Let me in baby, let me in
You know me, you know I'm wired
I'm gonna stop you feeling tired
I'm coming over and I won't be long
Just let me finish writing this song
I'm gonna blow your fuse
I know you like it fast and loose

(We Are) The Road Crew
Another town another place
Another girl, another face
Another truck, another race
I'm eating junk, feeling bad
Another night, I'm going mad
My woman's leaving, I feel sad
But I just love the life I lead
Another beer is what I need
Another gig my ears bleed
We are the road crew

Another town I've left behind
Another drink completely blind
Another hotel I can't find
Another backstage pass for you
Another tube of super glue
Another border to get through
I'm driving like a maniac
Driving way to hell and back
Another room a case to pack
We are the road crew

Another hotel we can burn
Another screw, another turn
Another Europe map to learn
Another truckstop on the way
Another game that I can play
Another word I learn to say
Another blasted customs post
Another bloody foreign coast
Another set of scars to boast
We are the road crew

Fire, Fire
Foxy do you have a light
You can you light me up tonight
I'd like to see you burn me down
Why don't you let me light your fire
Why don't you let me stoke you higher
Fire, fire - holocaust
Fire, fire - given up for lost
Fire, fire - strike one, strike two
Fire, fire - I'm a match for you

You're quick to learn
I love to watch you burn
Come any time I'll torch you out
Only you can create the flame
Only you can scorch my brain
Fire, fire - conflagration
Fire, fire - hellfire, damnation
Fire, fire - strike six strike eight
Fire, fire - I think you're great

You can't put me out
But there ain't no doubt
You ain't nowhere near safe with me
You ain't the first to turn me down
You ain't the first to turn me round
Fire, fire - big black smoke
Fire, fire - ain't no joke
Fire, fire - strike nine strike ten
Fire, fire - strike out again

Jailbait
Hey baby you're a sweet young thing
Still tied to Mommy's apron strings
I don't even dare to ask your age
It's enough to know you're here backstage
You're jailbait, and I just can't wait
Jailbait baby come on

One chase baby, all I need
My decision made at lightning speed
I don't even want to know your name
It's enough to know you feel the same
Jailbait, and I just can't wait
Jailbait baby get down

Tell you baby oh you look so fine
Sending quivers up and down my spine
I don't care about our different ages
I'm an open book with well thumbed pages
Jailbait, oh and I ain't too late
Jailbait baby get down
Back to Song List


Dance
If you want to feel good
If you want to feel alright
If you want to shake your stuff
Get some rock 'n' roll tonight
Dance, till your shoes are hot
Dance, till your nerves are shot
Dance, give it all you got
Dance, dance, ready or not

If you want to shake it up
If you want to feel so cool
Get down with them girls
Get down you dancing fool
Dance, till your bones are tired
Dance, till you feel inspired
Dance, get your hormones fired
Dance, dance, we're dancing wired

You're jiving feeling right
You're diving in the crowd
You're dancing till you drop
Rock and roll music's good and loud
Dance, you liked your score
Dance, what you're looking for
Dance, if you're rich or poor
Dance, dance, can't take no more
Back to Song List


Bite The Bullet
Stepping out, I'm leaving here
No use crying, crying in my beer
Enough's enough, believe it's true
Bite the bullet, I'm leaving you

Said goodbye, I left a note
But I don't remember, just what I wrote
The same old words, to say we're through
Bite the bullet, I'm leaving you

So that's the way it always ends
Get sympathy from all your friends
Seems there's nothing, nothing else to do
Bite the bullet, I'm leaving you
Back to Song List


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
Back to Song List


The Hammer
Let the killer go, don't let your mother know
Don't go out tonight, don't even try to fight
Cos I can see, I've got the thing you need
And I'm here to stay, it's gonna be that way
Don't try to run, don't try to scream
Believe me, the hammer's gonna smash your dream

I'm in your life, just might be in your wife
Could be behind your back, I might be on your track
And it might be true, I might be onto you
I'll scare you half to death, I'll take away your breath
Don't try to see, don't try to hide
Believe me, the hammer's gonna make you die

There ain't no way, you'll see another day
I'm shooting out your lights, bring you eternal night
And your eternal tricks, begin to make me sick
The only thing I know, is that you've gotta go
Don't try to hide, don't look around
Believe me, the hammer's gonna bring you down

Believe me, the hammer's coming down
