Motörhead - "The Hammer" (Live in Newcastle 1981)

Let the killers go

Don't let your mother know
Don't go out tonight
Don't even try to fight
Cause I can see

I've got the thing you need
And I'm here to stay
It's gonna be that way

Don't try to run,
Don't try to scream

Believe me
The hammer's gonna
Smash your dream

I'm in your life,
Just might be in your wife
Could be behind your back

I might be on your track
And it might be true,
I might be hunting you
I'll scare you half to death

I'll take away your breath

Don't try to see,
Don't you try to hide
Believe me
The hammer's gonna make you die

Ain't that right?

There ain't no way you'll see another day
I'm shooting out your lights
Bring you eternal night
And your eternal tricks begin to make me sick
The only thing I know is that you've gotta go

Don't you panic, babe, don't look around
Believe me
The hammer's gonna bring you down

Believe me
The hammer's coming down

Τον Ιούνιο του 1981 κυκλοφορούσε το "μυθικό" live album των Motörhead "No Sleep 'Till Hammersmith". Πρόκειται για έναν από τους σημαντικότερους (αν όχι τον σημαντικότερο) ζωντανά ηχογραφημένους δίσκους στην ιστορία του heavy metal.

Σαράντα χρόνια μετά, τον προσεχή Ιούνιο, θα κυκλοφορήσει η επετειακή έκδοση του album, η οποία θα περιλαμβάνει και μία συναυλία της Βρετανικής μπάντας στο City Hall του Newcastle στις 30 Μαρτίου του 1981.

Δελτίο τύπου: «No Sleep 'Till Hammersmith is the most necessary live album of all time. This deluxe double CD 24 page mediabook is a 40th Anniversary celebration of the 1981 number one album and includes:

➥ No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith; brand new remaster from the original tapes for venue demolishing volume.

➥ Live album of the previously unreleased in its entirety, full concert recorded at City Hall, Newcastle on 30th March 1981.

➥ The story of No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith, told through previously unpublished and new interviews with people that were on the road at the time.

➥ Never before seen photos and rare memorabilia.

➥ Newly unearthed, previously unreleased soundcheck tracks.»
