Killed By Death Lyrics
Fuck all you idiots this song isn't meant to be complex elitist art crap, this is straight forward rock n roll and murders 99% of other music. Fucking killer song.
Motorhead are one of the greatest bands to ever grace the world of music, and this is a fine example.

@AnarchistUK Well said and infinite respect to Lemmy because stating that you'll "only be easy when I'm killed by death" when you're high on life in your early 30s and actually living true to that until the end of your life at 70 is something not many can achieve! Authenticity and integrity at it's finest!

Fuck you! Lemmy is a legend and so many great bands owe a debt of gratitude to him.
The first verse is about sex
Basically I think this song is saying that the only time he will be comfortable or esy to get along with will be when he is dead or killed by death...
Sometimes words that sound good together, have a great rhythm and cadence, etc. are not always understandable or could even be simplistic.
It's only rock and roll, man! Turn it up to 11 and enjoy!
I hope today's crappy so-called hip hop/pop music is Killed by Death. This song totally rocks \m/
This song could mean being killed ONLY by death OR being killed by everything BUT death. Fist one is someone brave and bold and the second one is the exact opposite. Even though I strongly believe that Lemmy is referring to the first meaning.
Lemmy will be the first to admit that his lyrics ain't rocket science. Nothing wrong with that.
He's an antisocial loner who doesn't see eye to eye with many others at all. He ain't easy to get along with.
... the only time he's going to do anything willingly and without raising hell about it is when death comes knocking because it's inevitable and pointless to fight it.
Simple.
Oh, and it's one of Motorhead's best songs ever.
@boneyard23 Lemmy was anything but an antisocial loner mate, he always surrounded himself by large groups of the people he liked. He just chose his company.

I've had the pleasure of seeing Motorhead live - twice. Liverpool Royal Court, and Liverpool University.
And like the other poster has stated - Killed by Death is one of his finest moments. The leads are perfect, charging me with energy, almost forcing me to commit crime! :)
You've got to love Motorhead - it does what it says on the tin, so to speak.
You'll not find Lemmy with the San Fran Symphony.... like SellOUTtica. Oh I'd end it all then :)
