Where Eagles Dare Lyrics

we walk the streets at night
We go where eagles dare
They pick up every movement
They pick up every loser

With jaded eyes and features
You think they really care

I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby
I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby, babe

The omelet of disease
Awaits your noontime meal
Her mouth of germicide
Seducing all your plans

I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby
I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby, babe

Let's test your threshold of pain
Let's see how long you last
That's happened in your rape
On bosoms of your past

With jaded eyes and features
You think they really care
Let's go where eagles dare
We'll go where eagles dare

I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby
I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby
I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby
I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it baby, baby, babe

While it's possible the song does not take it's name from the movie - given Danzig's repertoire it seems only logical that it does - particularly given the age of the movie. However, i have seen this movie (which is an excellent WWII flick) and it offer absolutely NO help whatsoever for decoding Danzig's esoteric and always intriguing lyrics. Though, in the movie they have to reach a Nazi fortress which is extremely dangerous to get to, and be inside of - now if this is some whore, or whores that Glenn is talking about - you ask me and their "omelet of disease" sounds pretty damn dangerous to be inside of.

What an awesome piece of lyrical imagery though, huh?

I think I have an idea, though I could be wrong.. may just be obscure enough. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Dare A space pilot that fights little green men? From the 1950s

The LOGICAL explanation for this song is found in the various meanings of the phrase "where eagles dare", like the meaning; to be so ambitious as to lack hubris. To challange the Gods themselves (or maybe Fascists?), like Icaros. Or simply; eagles fly at an altitude where no other bird can go, and they try and get even higher (as to challange the Gods themselves?). And Nazi Germany was the jumping of the shark for Fascism which is built out of hubris. Fascists still live and people punishes, dislike different, and likewise, is the modern fascist! Everything was over the top,...

"The world is grown so bad, that wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch."-Shakespeare

The term Where Eagles Dare existed long before the movie. Wrens are timid birds in the quote, hunting in a place where Eagles (birds of prey) are scared to hunt.

The song tells the story of a dangerous street where average men go to temp fate and meet prostitutes. It is presented in a "fly on the wall style" by someone just passing through to see the sights on an adventure. To go where "Eagles Dare".

We walk the streets at night We go where eagles dare They pick up every movement They pick up every loser With jaded eyes and features You think they really care

(Our narrator comes for the danger, while men come seeking jaded women who are in it for the money not the love.)

I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch You better think about it baby I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch You better think about it baby, babe (An argument heard on the street between a hooker and a pimp or a John. "You better think about it baby" the women are under threat of violence for such harsh words.

An omelet of disease awaits your noontime meal (Old droopy breasts are referred to as "fried eggs") Her mouth of germicide seducing all your glands (the women rinse their mouths with germicide between dates)

Let's test your threshold of pain Let's see how long you last That's happened in your rape On bosoms of your past (A cruel John wants to push a woman sexually, as he believes a woman such as her must have been raped in her past and be used to such treatment)

This song is the best ever tune to play mentally during those teenage summers you can't STOP getting kicked out of the house. I know there were plenty of good reasons but this tune helped me feel justified and triumphant while shattering lamps and being beaten with a rake. Fuck right! Good times great tunes...yeah!

i heard the chorus (i aint no goddamn son of a bitch...) was retaliation to some critic who called danzig a goddamn son of a bitch after he embarrassed him or something during a show. im not really sure if thats true but whatever
