Gimme some Motörhead - die 5 besten Lem-Lyrics

Gaimchú

Till Deaf Do Us Part
Jetzt gibt es den allgemeinen Motörhead-Fred, einen für die besten 5 Songs, einen für den besten Gig - aber da fehlt doch noch was.
Und da Lemmy ja immer - völlig zu recht - darauf hingewiesen hat, wie stolz er auf seine Texte war, hier also der
Listenwahn - die 5 besten Lem-Lyrics

1. March or Die
2. Orgasmatron
3. Don't let Daddy kiss me
4. Year of the Wolf
5. One Short Life

Diese Liste ist wie immer ohne Gewehr, weil mir spätestens morgen noch drei Dutzend andere Kandidaten einfallen werden. :D
 
1) 1916

"Sixteen years old when I went to the war,
To fight for a land fit for heroes, God on my side and a gun in my hand,
Chasing my days down to zero,
And I marched and I fought and I bled and I died,
And I never did get any older,
But I knew at the time that a year in the line was a long enough life for a soldier....
 
2) JUST 'CAUSE YOU'VE GOT THE POWER

"You might be a financial wizard
With a sack of loot,
But all I see is a slimy lizard
With an expensive suit,
Go on and run your corporation,
Go on and kisd some ass,
You can buy off half of the nation
But you can't buy class.....
 
3) I'M SO BAD (BABY, I DON'T CARE)

"I make love to mountain lions,
Sleep on red-hot branding irons,
When I walk the roadway shakes,
Bed's a mess of rattlesnakes,
Voodoo child, black cat bone,
Scratch your back, hear you moan"....
 
4) DON'T NEED RELIGION

"Don't need no blind belief,
Don't need no cosmic relief,
Don't need to see the scars,
I don't need Jesus Christ Superstar,
No more Sunday television,
Bet your life, I don't need religion".....
 
5) UNTIL THE END

"All I know is who I am,
I'll never let you down,
The rest will give you trust
Until the end.

There ain't no rules to follow,
You can't predict tomorrow,
I know just who my friends are,
The rest can turn to stone.

Your memories are yours alone,
They're yours until you're dust and bones,
I know the things I'm looking for,
I know just what I want"....
 
Er konnte in seinen Texten halt auch allgemeingültige Sachverhalte in einfache und trotzdem "hochphilosophische" Worte kleiden, ohne in abgehobenes Geschwurbel wegzudriften.... ;)
