Motorhead - Joy Of Labour Lyrics
Woke up dead, you know I woke up dead
Give me time to get it through my head
They hanged me by the neck, I heard the devil laugh
I was a nervous wreck, I was the first in line
You must have seen the ground where we upheld the Law
I was a young man then, I was a young man then
Spending time on the killing floor
Do as you would want to be
Joy of labour, sets you free
Woke up scared, you know I woke up scared
Give me time to show you, how I wound up there
They put me in a cell, I heard the ghost in there
I wasn't feeling well, I was the first in line
Do you want see right through the devil's eyes?
You must have seen the ground where they all stood before
I was a young man then, I was a young man then
Spending time on the killing floor
Be more than you seem to be
Joy of labour, sets you free
Woke up dead, you know I woke up dead
I was the only one, that saw the road ahead
They beat me with their fists
I did the devil's work
And I was on their list, I was the first in line
Do you even know what the devil does
He drives a man 'til he can't take no more
I was a young man then, I was a young man then
Spending time on the killing floor

Fazla iyisin
Diamond road türk mü ne
Rude and badass Heavy rock loudest !!
Fucking GROOVY
it will always be the songs like this one, one short life and just cos' you got the power that are my favorite motorhead songs. just like slayer, when they slow it down they get heavier in the process and the emotion really pours out in the riffs and singing.
G.O.A.T.
and your M.O.M?
I swear motörhead has a song for everything. Medicine for the soul. Lemmy saves!
That's the spirit!
totaly and absolutely agree with you
Сочный,проигрыш в серёдке-очень понравился.))
а упыри критики зачем-то разбили этот альбом и прекрасный Another Purfect Day
it's sad that so few recognize what a brilliant songwriter he was.
Tyrone Jones dude millions know.
Tyrone Jones amen
I agree
Full conserts sold out, , people know ;)
His names printed atop songs on No More Tears, dude. I discovered him from “Mama, I’m Coming Home”. People know.
I'm still your Joy!
RIP Lemmy, really sad day, Been a fan since i was 12, 34 now. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING
RIP Lenny
+Kirill Boldyrev Lemmy*
Swedish Rock 'N' Röller lol let's hope his phone autocorrected that to Lenny
He left behind a squiggy.
So good. Beast mode!
another one of my fav
MOTORHEADPHONES + MOTORHEAD = AWESOMNESS
which one do you have ? Im owner of Iron Fist and I cant get enough from it ! sooo fuckin brilliant !
lol :D
me too
But my one side is not working sometimes :/
and you got the 2.5m cable? i checked and it wasnt there
I got the Marshall headphones, they have excellent sound for Motorhead, at least.
My favorite Motorhead song. Am a Supernatural fan, and love to think of Demon Dean singing this.
Fantastic song. Especially the 3 part harmony at the end. Love ya, Lemmy.
Oh, and Phil's solo is one of his best.
Whenever i feel like proper shit, i listen to this for a couple of hours straight and i'll be fixed.
Love this Motorhead song. Got kind of a Live Cream feeling of it with the bass and guitars improvising at the same time
true, sadly, saw them at the end of 2012 - Lemmy should start thinkin' of going slower, maybe even dismantle Motörhead and form something for the ending of his ubelivable run....
I know, death before dishonour and valhalla and all that - you wouldn't dissapoint anybody if you started smt that you can actually keep up with while you play live Lemmy, c'mon, this will kill you !!!!
Yeap and sadly do they play way too loud live, so you don´t get in a good groove (and I´ve been to many heavy metal concerts) So far these guys and "Airbourne" play too loud for pleasure .-)
Yeah they crank up the Amps big time
Aupa el Lemmy y los Motörhead, que son los mejores con diferencia
Anyone who thinks Motorhead is a Nazi band need only listen to this song, straight from the books of Marx!
Fish Bowl
Lemmy stated many times in interviews that he hated communism.
This song is literally written from the point of view of a SS Officer.
Lemmy stated he hates Nazis, he just thought the uniforms looked nice.
his joy of labour makes him carry on :)
Now is 2012 and is fucking true that Lemmy cant make any noice, only old tired sings.Better stop now.........
Lemmy had fucking cancer, what's your excuse?
Love the song! Nice quallity too, though I really feel the need to point out that there's a bunch of flaws in the lyrics! XD.
@DamgeCase SBL - is My favorite albume (as a 1983's)
@jon81jon I think the hole albume is underrated.
Grandissimo pezzo ! Set you free !!
@DamgeCase Every motorhead song is brilliant, the fact is that some of those are more brilliant.
I just dig Motörhead´s midtempo songs!
