Motor Head Lyrics
Sunrise, 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, you can call me Motorhead, alright
Brain dead, total amnesia,
Get some mental anasthesia,
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights,
And if I can't be wrong I could be right,
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,
I guess I'll see you all on the ice,
I should be tired,
And all I am is wired,
Ain't felt this good for an hour,
Motorhead, remember me now, Motorhead alright
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, you can call me Motorhead, alright
Get some mental anasthesia,
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights,
And if I can't be wrong I could be right,
All good clean fun,
Have another stick of gum,
Man, you look better already,
Motorhead, remember me now Motorhead, alright
We're moving like a parallelogram,
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights,
I guess I'll see you all on the ice,
I should be tired,
And all I am is wired,
Ain't felt this good for an hour,
Motorhead, remember me now, Motorhead alright

Lol the last song Lemmy wrote with Hawkwind apparently. So is this a cover?
Just a song about Speed (amphetamines), a Motorhead being a Speed-freak. I remember an awkward moment on a British TV Children's show (Tiswas), where Sally James asked the band what the name meant... they got out of it quite well.
yeah hawkwind did sing the song first but motorhead have kind of reinvented with a different/heavier/faster sound especially when played live
MOTORHEAD 4EVER!!!
Motorhead were on Tizwas? Damn I wish they had kids shows with guests like that when i was growing up.
nice song, as the guy said, it's about the drug "speed", which, along with "acid", lemmy was notorious for using back in the ol' days. just a good thing he didn't pull an ozzy osbourne on us, otherwise we wouldn't have masterpieces like this and stone dead forever. also listen to "speedfreak" off of the ace of spades album, which is also about speed.
NO NO NO!! FUK NO!!!! The song "speedfreak" was NOT on the Ace Of Spades album!!! It was on "Iron Fist" . Which was the album after Ace Of Spades. . . I can't stand phony know it all's!! Especially phony MOTORHEAD know it all's. . If your gonna talk MOTORHEAD have some respect and get it right mate!!!! Ohh . . and btw . . STAY CLEAN!!!
Its about the Whizz Fizzzzzzzzz
Both Hawkwind and Motorhead's versions kick ass! We'll always remember you guys, Motorhead! \m/
For me I was 8 years old I listened to Adam & The Ants who had some pretty fierce songs themselves (loved the Burrundi drumming style) and then I heard it -
Motorhead's Motorhead and my music taste changed forever.
Lemmy - you may be gone brother but your music and soul live on in the heart of every Metalhead.
