Motörhead

Motörhead ( /ˈmoʊtərhɛd/) are an English heavy metal band formed in 1975 by bassist, singer and songwriter Ian Fraser Kilmister, professionally known by his stage name Lemmy, who has remained the sole constant member. The band are often considered a precursor to or one of the earliest members of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, which re-energised heavy metal in the late 1970s and early 1980s. To date, Motörhead have released twenty studio albums, seven live recordings, five compilation albums and five EPs.

Death in the stars, rain on the wind,
Came to the mission, couldn't get in,
Came out of nowhere, guess I'll go back,
All down to bad luck,
Fire in the sky, nowhere to run,
Came to the desert, burned by the sun,
Came out of somewhere, I ain't never been back,
All down to bad luck,

King of frustration, vampire deluxe,
Keys to the kingdom, god hates your guts,
Out of the heavens a blessing might fall,
But the keys to the kingdom mean nothing at all,

Crippled by cold, blinded by fear,
Looking for god, but they said he ain't here,
Came out of nowhere, can't stand to go back,
All down to bad luck,
Carved on a stone, the world's epitaph,
Walked through the graveyard, just had to laugh,
Came out of exile, for a handful of dust,
All down to bad luck,

King aggravation, vampire deluxe,
Congratulations, god hates your guts,
Bound for damnation, backs to the wall,
And the keys to the kingdom mean nothing at all,

High in the sky, in letters of fire,
The names of the saints, 
The thieves and the liars,
Came to the funeral, out of pure spite,
All down to bad luck,
The least we could do, the harder we tried,
The better we lived, the sooner we died,
Came to the goldmine, cold and alone,
All down to bad luck,

King of starvation, vampire deluxe,
Keys to the kingdom, we hate your guts,
In the asylum, no one hears you call,
And the keys to the kingdom mean nothing at all,
Nothing at all
