written by Eddie Holland

[@StefanoNayidMassuh]

Fuck! I miss this guys😢

[@paulf.t.w1366]

When music was music and not the clinical waste we get fed now

[@TJPenitencia]

Fuck YES! Lemmy sounds so young on this. Eddie Holland must have been proud! :)

[@bobyacdc]

one of my favourite of motörhead, a hell of a cover

[@nookiebroon4424]

Motorhead at their best, just the band, no production, raw & hard.

Lyrics: Hey fellows, have you heard the news The women in this town are being misused Seen it all in a dream last night You'll be leaving this town 'cause you don't feel right 'Cause I'm leaving, leaving here Hey fellows, better change your ways Or they'll be leaving this town in a matter of days They all say, and everything's so true We fellows run around with someone new 'Cause I'm leaving, leaving here Yeah, one by one, yeah two by two Yeah three by three, yeah four by four Hey fellows, better change your ways Or they'll be leaving this town in a matter of days One day, one day and it won't be long And all them fine chicks will be gone 'Cause I'm leaving, leaving here Yeah two by two, yeah four by four Oh yeah, I'm leaving here

[@dogus.utoopia]

The best version of the song.

[@ianmcnally7755]

The Who covered it as well back in 1965

[@grindfreakmike5754]

No, they have a live version with better sound.

RIP Motörhead

[@An_Economist_Plays]

Imagine if they'd gone through the Motown Charm School... I can just see it, Motorhead in ruffled tuxedos with stage moves and backup singers. :-) Great song, glad they stayed punk. :-)

[@kevingoins9858]

The band Rare Earth were a Motown act and kept their image intact. Not all the label's artists were put thru their artist development dept which did more good than anything.

[@jonathanwilsonemail]

The six people that downvoted this are wrong on EVERYTHING.

[@mbogucci1]

So, anyone that disagrees with you are hereby "wrong". Typical.

[@davidwaterhouse2552]

I really got into the band in 1980 when I was still an original 1977 'PuNk rOcKer' ! dx

[@keddw]

Raw! Love this stripped back way of doing it

[@jocksilver7]

eheh, sleazy, greasy, gritty longhaired punks...but fair and gentlemen-like . RIP all 3 ov'em.

[@dave_creamcheese1496]

Blast this as you leave work! Leaving here!

[@andzwe]

Ronnie Wood said in an interview that Lemmy told him he had always had a weak spot for Wood's first band The Birds and how he was influenced by them. Probably the reason he covered this song with Motörhead, just like The Birds did. That little bass solo at the end seems like a reference to John Entwistle's bass solo in My Generation.

[@gobsofgopherguts]

1963 Eddie Holland

[@user-em2pe3rf4h]

Best getting the fuck out of Dodge song ever... for that reason, I've heard it many times.

[@michaelstagar4254]

People who say motorhead were sexist should listen to this. Lemmys politics were progressive when Bernie Sanders was still in high school.

[@brendlynlarkin2]

Love the name beasley

[@leekelly6176]

Motownhead

[@spectralv709]

Sounds more punk than metal to me

[@nastylittlecritter]

Spectral V Lemmy always insisted Motörhead was a rock and roll band. They incorporated elements of heavy metal, hard rock, and punk, and were loved in both the metal and punk music scenes.

@@flynncarter229 it's not The Who, it's Eddie Holland. check it out on youtube: eddie holland leaving here 1963

@@flynncarter229 nah it's alright, it's a pleasure to share information!

[@shericorleone371]

But Why should this sound like metal?!!! Lemmy always said on their gigs " We Are Motörhead! And we play Rock & Roll! then it seems to me ya never been on those gigs?!

[@shericorleone371]

Sure Eddie's original version is great but The Who covered it also and pretty good!

[@dogus.utoopia]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@alansutherland8325]

Proto PUNK from London's STIFF records, quite a rarity now.

[@drutgat2]

Thanks for posting this. Great stuff - my favourite Motorhead line-up - although at times it sounds like Phil Taylor's fills do not fit. The Birds (Ronnie Wood's band) version is great, too, as is Eddie Holland's original version.

[@mrbrick5907]

I have read, on Filthy's first stuff with Motorhead, he was having to put the drums on after the bass and guitar had been recorded, presumably replacing Lucas Fox's original tracks. This may explain why the fills may sound a bit clunky. Of course also I'm guessing studio time was limited and who knows what stimulants Phil was running on.... whatever, I still love this track.

[@dave_creamcheese1496]

Greatest rock n roll song ever???

[@tikkitikkitembo148]

Not quite.... band. Greastest rock n roll band

[@ianmcnally7755]

It’s a Holland-Dozier-Holland Motown song.

[@ianmcnally7755]

RIP Lamont Dozier

[@philipdalton1000s]

Lemmy actually admitted himself he thought they were more punk than metal.
