Ace Of Spades Lyrics

Performed by Motorhead

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
You win some, lose some, it's - all - the same to me
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of Spades

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stakes or split,
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of Spades

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live forever,
And don't forget the joker!

Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of Spades

Ace is about poker | Reviewer: blackmass | 12/7/11

@craig. In an interview with Lemmy Kilmister,he stated that he wrote Ace of Spades about playing poker with "Fast" Eddie Clarke while riding in their tour bus doing 100 mph.That was how they passed the time riding between gigs. So if Lemmy says its about gamblig or a crad game. I'd take his word for it.

Song Meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/31/11

If anyone is wondering what the song is about, it's clearly about gambling, not a specific game but just gambling in general, and how Lemmy doesn't give a fuck as to wheather or not he wins or loses at gambling.

not just about card games! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/14/11

"seven and eleven, snake eyes watching you"
is a clear reference to craps, a casino dice game:
a first roll of seven or eleven pays the pass line, but snake eyes (double one) causes you to lose the bet right away

Repetitive but great! | Reviewer: Oane | 6/15/11

I've seen motorhead 3 times over a span of 8 years on the same festival. probably the got motorhead free with the main stage. and each time the same joke:

We gonna play one from the ace of spades album! (wait 3 second for the roar) not the song though!

everytime it was the last song to be played. and damn i have some great memories of those gigs :)

To TANO | Reviewer: Rasmus | 2/7/11

Its clearly about POKER!

Dead mans hand is a poker hand contaning to pairs, aces and eights. Its named dead mans hand because wild bill hickok was shot in the back while holdin that hand.

Now you know That!

To "Tano" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/27/10

"This song is about truco, a clasic card game in argentina... you must remember that Pappo (legendary blues and heavy metal guitar player from argentina) was the 1st guitar in the early days of mötorhead. Now you know it"

Utter nonsense. Motorhead's first guitarist was Larry Wallis, formerly of The Pink Faries. Lemmy has stated on many occasions that the song is about poker.

Hellraiser | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/16/09

I've loved Motorhead for many years. Ace of Spades is better than Hellraiser because it's a Motorhead song that's truly theirs. Hellraiser is good, but Ozzy wrote it. When I think of Motorhead I think of the Ace of Spades

Eyes | Reviewer: craig | 11/12/08

I believe those who have a tendency to perpetrate crimes on the extreme side would interpret "Ace of Spades" differently... and it's not about cards games.

"I've got something to say... It's better to burn out than to fade away!" Quote; The Highlander, Neil Young and/or Kurt Cobain

Dead Mans Hand | Reviewer: Aces & Eights | 10/21/07

The lyric is ante, not entity. An ante is a forced bet to increase the size of the pot, not like a blind. He's makin' the other fella pay to see his cards, and he knows he's got the nuts...The Ace of Spades !!
