Damned, The - Ballroom Blitz Lyrics






It's been getting so hard living with the things you do to me
My dreams are getting so strange I'd like to tell you everything I see
I see a man at the back as a matter of fact his eyes are as red as the sun
And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her 'cause she thinks she's the passionate one

It was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And the man at the back said: "Everyone attack" and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said: "Boy I wanna warn you" and it turned into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

It's been getting so strange living with the things you do to me
I softly call you over when you appear there's nothing left of you
I see a man at the back as a matter of fact as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's moaner she could kill you with a wink of her eye

Oh yeah, it was electric
So frightfully hectic
And the band started leaping
'Cause they all stopped breathing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And the man at the back said: "Everyone attack" and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said: "Boy I wanna warn you" and it turned into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

Oh yeah, it was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the band started leaping
'Cause they all stopped breathing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And the man at the back said: "Everyone attack" and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said: "Boy I wanna warn you" and it turned into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

It's, it's a ballroom blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz

    Heh. The intro is pretty much a copy of the intro to Holland - Wake up the neighborhood.

  8. J.... P....

    When I found out Lemmy was on this I lost my shit! 🤟🏾

  9. J.... H....

    This is just the type of bonehead that letting in to Frinton on sea nowadays and frankly I've had enough. Before you know it the place will be overrun with undesirables and maybe even those drunken scotch brutes from Newcastle.

  10. g.... c....

    Dear Kelly, at the time there were only two other members of Motorhead. Of course the Damned and Motorhead shared a management and record company at the time.

    S.... A....

    +Stephen Allcroft All three members of Motörhead were present that day, but only Lemmy contributed to the two Motördamn/Doomed tracks! Providing the vocals on 'Over The Top' where he's accompanied by Captain Sensible on Guitar, Algy Ward on Bass & Rat Scabies on Drums, on 'Ballroom Blitz' he's accompanied by Dave Vanian on Vocals, Captain Sensible on Guitar & Rat Scabies on Drums. "Fast" Eddie Clarke and Phil Taylor spent the entire day getting drunk and trying to shag a girl over the upstairs pool table.

    S.... A....

    +Scharfschütze 131 Glad to hear a reminiscence from somebody who was there at the time _and_ able to remember it...


    R.I.P Lemmy

  29. S.... S....

  44. B.... ....

    Right, I came to this video knowing nothing about this particular cover version. I didn't even know lemmy played on it, I heard the bass come on, two bars in.... THAT'S LEMMY!!! I think I woke the house up....

  45. j.... d....

    Better than the original? Yeah, the Damned are that awesome

  49. m.... w....

    totally wrecked the proper version by Sweet!

  50. K.... ....

    @noworldorderforme It's said to be part of the Motordamn project. The other song's called Over The Top. Both bands are said to have turned up one day and gotten really drunk, and at the end only half of them were left standing. I need to dig out my Light at the End of the Tunnel book.

  51. D.... W....

    @Kelly14UK Other Motorhead guys? I'm intrigued, I always thought only Lemmy played on this track. Having said that, there's a little guitar riff at about 2:23-ish that sounds a little 'interesting', Fast Eddie perhaps?

  52. s.... ....

    Blimey havent heard this since Retford Porterhouse 78 the best gig I ever went to, fell out of there at 3am ish and got a ride on the mail train home,great memories. Thanks for posting.

  53. K.... ....

    Lemmy on bass. And one or two other Motorhead guys too.
