Motörhead-City Kids [1977-with Lyrics]

aus dem ersten Motörhead-Album.
~Lyrics~
Nobody knows,
I know nobody cares what goes on in here,
We have this door,
Nobody gets in until I'm really sure,
Don't creep up behind me,
You know where to find me I'm always around,
Turns out if you need us, before you lead us astray
Don't care who we meet,
We're orphans here on Easy Street and we feel real mean,
Cruising on speed,
We've got more than we'll ever need, ain't life sweet?
We won't turn your pay down,
City Kids don't lay down, we don't call so,
Better get some more of that,
City Kids we don't give that to you, oh no
Bombs go off at night,
Searing heat, blinding light, you like it fine,
Park the car and run,
Dance all night, it was for fun, we're nasty, hahahaha!
Why do we do it,
No-one can get through it we know where to run,
You hear what we're saying,
Time that you were praying 'cos,
City Kids time, won't be long,
Won't be long, no it won't be long

Saw them play this at a club in the beginning of '78. Happy days

Great rock n roll.... Lemmy nailed it, as he said.. We play rock n roll... The guy wrote like a modern day coleridge, if he was 19c he was the knew Coleridge.. But never ever got credit for his lyrics. In 200 years I'm sure he will!!

The Pink Fairies original version from their 1973 Kings of Oblivion album is the best version of this Larry Wallis song. Punk before punk.

[@sjorsbertrand]

That's why this songs sounds so cool )))

[@89santiagobb]

good bye lemmy

[@WWFederation1]

Hands down evrbody! The best n the most kickass fucking rock n roll band in the world! Along with Rolling stones gotta admit.. hah!

[@keltyk]

@ROCKlamf -Think the original's by The Pink Faeries- They're predecessors and friends to Motorhead- Maybe shared a guitarist in Larry Wallis back then- but not sure

[@Dicco08]

Punk ?

[@xxjoeyladxx]

Diogenes Cerqueira They were never a “metal” band. Lemmy himself said that they had way more kinship with punks than any metal bands.

[@Hawiianlion67]

Rock and roll

[@meztruo]

pretty wasted here lemmy...

[@puntostilocoupe]

Larry Wallis did it better ... but Lemmy put it on the highest point .... Wallis was the best songwriter in MOTORHEAD (MOTORHEAD Lemmy is so miss him ...) Wallis was still hope and still is one of the best rock 'n' roller composers in the world ... Maybe it sounds strange ... Unfortunately, he could be a star, but today is a looser ... and almost nobody knows ...

This is not metal at all. A lot of it sounds 60s like.

[@TeeDee73]

emile235 but it inspired some great metal shit

[@michaelbutcheck9933]

you are an idiot

[@BuzzKirill3D]

@@michaelbutcheck9933 what, you're saying he's wrong and it IS metal? it's very clearly punk rock, and there's nothing wrong with that. A lot of bands sounded different early on, just compare JP's Rocka Rolla with Painkiller. It's like 2 totally different bands

[@denudenovsky]

No shit Sherlock, Lemmy always claimed that Motorhead was rock'n'roll.
