Hawkwind Album

[No lyrics]

Turning star projections
Voices from the deep
Throbbing of the engines
You exit from the heat
Paper on the pavement
Cars crawling in the road
Emotions of the city
You ease your heavy load

A Motorway City
Well it ain't the same
Lighting up the night sky
With an orange flame

A Motorway City
Well you exit on the right
Cruising on the highway
When you're driving through the night

A Motorway City
Well it ain't the same
Lighting up the night sky
With an orange flame

Motorway City
A Motorway City
A Motorway City
A Motorway City
Motorway City
A Motorway City
A Motorway City
A Motorway City

Sunrise wrong side of another day
Sky-high and six thousand miles away
Don't know how long I've been awake
Wound up in an amazing state
Can't get enough and you know its righteous stuff
Goes up like prices at Christmas

Motorhead
You can call me Motorhead alright

Braindead total amnesia
Get some mental anaesthesia
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights
I guess I'll see ya all on the ice
All good clean fun, have another stick of gum
Man you look better already

Motorhead
You can call me Motorhead, alright

Fourth day, five day marathon
We're moving like a parallelogram
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights
If I can't be wrong, I must be right
I should be tired, and all I am is wired
Ain't felt this good for an hour

Motorhead,
You can call me Motorhead, all night.

We're angels of life, we're angels of death
We're angels of life, we're angels of death
We're born to blaze a nuclear way through space
A way out of the waste that held the human race

We're angels of life, we're angels of death
We're angels of life, we're angels of death
We are the dead who are never led
We are the warriors at the edge of time
We lurk inside your brain, we hide inside your minds

We're angels of life, we're angels of death
We're angels of life, we're angels of death
We stalk the city streets, to kill all we meet
Nostrils flare awhile, it makes you want to smile

We're born to erase all of your days....

Lonely figures waiting, shadows on the hill
Looking into valleys where everything is still
Only death is lurking, the creeping sickness waits
So who's gonna win the war now?
Who's gonna win the war?
Who's gonna win the,
Who's gonna win the,
Who's gonna win the war?

Radiation wastelands in the setting sun
Dust clouds they are gathering to obliterate the guns
Already weeds are writing their scriptures in the sand
So who's gonna win the war now?
Who's gonna win the war?
Who's gonna win the,
Who's gonna win the,
Who's gonna win the war?

Who's gonna win the war now?
Who's gonna win the war?
Who's gonna win the,
Who's gonna win the,
Who's gonna win the war?

We are the Survivors
The eternal survivors
Androgynous energies
Travelling through time

Particle Accelerators
Morality Degenerators
Dadata Disseminators
Cyclotron attenuators
Hyperspatial Conflagrators
MEST Integrators

Well your neutron bomb neutralised your history
Wiped cancer from the Earth, and mystery
Now we're pushing over concrete
Blowing up the rockery
Watching the garden

Letting the grass grow
Letting the grass grow
We all know where the flowers went today
Media explosion blew them all away
After the thunder

Letting the grass grow
Letting the grass grow

Post future reality, it's a better real world
Post future reality, it's a real better world
Post future super-reality, it's a real super world
Post holocaust hilarity, it's a super real world
Post future surreality, it's sure a surreal world
Post future surreality, it's a real surreal world

Tell me Doc Spock have you got all your answers
Ephemeral vision recalling the dancers

Picking up the pieces
In a progress picture
Taking ?????? to his ??????
Letting the grass grow
Watching the grass grow
Pieces of the omniversal zoo
But will we survive?
we always do


Watching the grass grow
Watching the grass grow
Watching the grass grow

This is a very heavy microphone stand
Ah, no queen could brandish this I tell ya that
It's a real man's microphone stand
Here, Dave, here
Where'd you get these stands from?
(Laughs)
Ah, they're really heavy
So are you

Well, we're gonna do something really heavy in a minute
Like, er
Fall off the stage on top of you
With about two hundredweight of iron in my hand

You're a very tiny person, aren't you?
Eh? (Laughs)
You're all very tiny down there

Y'know when I'm up here
I feel so big and mighty
I fell like I'm the
Master
Of the
Universe

You made me feel like that
And now, it's almost true
And just wait and see
What we do with it

All right, cut the Gypsy music!
Band of Gypsies!

(Music changes)
(These lyrics are Calvert's poem 'The Awakening')

All in a day's work
All in, all in

All in a day's work
All in, all in

All in a day's work
I know

I would rather the fire-storms of atmospheres
Than this cruel descent from a thousand years of dream
Into the starkness of this capsule
Where two of our crew still lie
Suspended cool
In their tombs of sleep
The nagging choirs of memory
The tubes and wires worming from their flesh
To machinery
I would have to cut
Such midwifery is but one function
Of the leader here

Floating in a sac of fluid
Dark
A clear century of space away from Earth
One man stirs from the trauma of his birth
Attending to the hypno-tapes
Assuring him
This was reality
However grim
Oh, our journey's end

The landing itself was nothing
We touched upon a shelf of rock
Selected by the auto-mind
And left the galaxy of dreams
Behind

And it's all a fable for fountains now
It's all a fable for fountains now!
It's all a fable for fountains now!

And were your childhood dreams
All a fable?

For fountains now
For fountains now
Now, now
Now, now, now
Fountains, fountains
All going up in fountains, fountains
All a fable for fountains now

Go on
There's no other

(These lyrics are from Calvert's poem 'Over The Top')

But just a minute now
When you gaze into my eyes
You're looking at your own reflection
And all you see is your disguise
You wear for your own protection

So don't go telling me that you know just when to stop!
When to stop
You know you go
Over the top
Over the top
It's over the top

Hey I'm going, over the top
Over the top, oh!
Over the top, all right here it goes...

In 1916
We dug the trenches
But we don't need them
We have our own defences
We don't need no officers
To blow no whistle and scream
Come on you guys
Wake up out of your dream
And follow me
'cause I'm going

Over the top
Over the top
Follow me
Over the top

Here goes now...

Your country needs you
Hey Kitchener, don't you know that moustaches went out with the Beatles?

Give me white feather!
Give me white feather!
Give me white feather!

Hung up on the wire

Give me white feather!
Give me white feather!
Give me white feather!
Hung upon the wire
Hung upon the wire
Strung on barbed wire
Huh, strung on barbed wire

Goodbye genocide...

Well hurry on sundown
See what tomorrow brings
Hurry on sundown
See what tomorrow brings
Well it may bring war
Any old thing
Well look into your mind's eye
See what you can see
There's hundreds of people
Like you and me

Feel the pain burning, reaching up your spineHow your body shudders higher as you climbYou're reaching for the sky as the lash descendsTingling stars of fire, burning in your headLightning in your opening eyes, bursting thoughts of power Feel the velvet whip turning sweet thoughts to sour
Feel the pain burning, reaching up your spineHow your body shudders higher as you climbYou're reaching for the sky as the lash descendsTingling stars of fire, burning in your headLightning in your opening eyes, bursting thoughts of power Feel the velvet whip turning sweet thoughts to sour
Down and down you slowly slideYour burning body under mineTogether a world with legs entwinedSilky skin with hardened linesThe scent of leather in the airThe colours change not really thereYou taste the sweetness of the painWill you ever climb so high again?

Feel the pain burning, reaching up your spineHow your body shudders higher as you climbYou're reaching for the sky as the lash descendsTingling stars of fire, burning in your headLightning in your opening eyes, bursting thoughts of power Feel the velvet whip turning sweet thoughts to sour
Down and down you slowly slideYour burning body under mineTogether a world with legs entwinedSilky skin with hardened linesThe scent of leather in the airThe colours change not really thereYou taste the sweetness of the painWill you ever climb so high again?
Feel the pain burning, reaching up your spineHow your body shudders higher as you climbYou're reaching for the sky as the lash descendsTingling stars of fire, burning in your headLightning in your opening eyes, bursting thoughts of power Feel the velvet whip turning sweet thoughts to sour

Kings of speed, kings of speed
We're gonna make you kings of speed
Kings of speed, kings of speed
We're gonna make you kings of speed

Between you and me Mr C,
I think we have what we both need
Step this way lads, it ain't no lie,
Try your luck and maybe hit the sky

Kings of speed, kings of speed
We're gonna make you kings of speed

We're gonna take a tasty trip
On Frank and Beasley's rocket ship
The biggest attraction, the brightest star,
Boys you're going fast and far

Kings of speed, kings of speed
We're gonna make you kings of speed

We guarantee you the sweetest ride
You'll go so far you'll think you've died
Step this way lads it ain't no lie
Try your luck and reach the sky

A social alliance, are you in distress?
Just contact me and I'll do my best
She said "I'm a person, so don't abuse me
You know I am a Doctor of the third degree"
A Doctor of the third

We're part of a structure
That needs no consent
You think you're the same
When we're all different
Jean lives for fashion
And I live to fight
Before life was easy
Now we're creatures of the night

We're creatures of the night
We're creatures of the night
We're creatures of the night
Creatures of the night

A social alliance, are you in distress?
Just contact me and I'll do my best
She said "I'm a person, so don't abuse me
You know I am a Doctor of the third degree"

Don't miss the sensation
It's never too late
If you think you're ready
There's no need to wait
Can your mind take it?
Do you really care?

Do you really care?

(Thank You Goodnight!)

I am the child of wars never won
Take heed prisoner I am the one
Your battle is over before it's begun
For a child on the run I am free

Many tournaments fought in this land
Flying banners now dashed in the sand
The colours you wear will not keep me
For a child on the run I am free

The courts and knights of the table
Bold stories of dragon and fable
Your sword is red-stained I can see
For a child on the run I am free

Silks, satins, riches in plenty
Acres of land, four and twenty
I am not you, I am me
For a child on the run I am free

I am the child of wars never won
Take heed prisoner I am the one
Your battle is over before it's begun
For a child on the run I am free
