Motorhead - Iron Horse / Born To Lose Lyrics

Sorry about this, Guys, but - a few years back - I remember this (very nice) kid catching me at work doing summat - nothing illegal , mind - and saying 'You know, that's gonna have a BAD effect on your health and it'll probably kill you if you don't 'clean up' ' (or summat). ... And I found myself rounding on him and saying ('off-the-cuff') 'Who wants to live forever ... ?' ... There was a long pause. Kid said 'Okay' and left (Sorry, Guy - didn't mean to snap). This song is the ULTIMATE re : assertion-of-self-against-the-world-regardless (of sense, logic, reality etc). Ride on.

Happy Birthday Lemmy. xxx I miss you so much.

The real deal !!! RIP Lemmy, Phil and Eddie. Gone but never to be forgotten.

Dude shreds on guitar

The greatest song of all time

Should be everyone's life philosophy:

Live the life
Living it fast
Don’t try to hide
When the dice have been cast
Your ride’s a whirlwind
That cuts to the bone
Wasted forever
Ferociously stoned
Wasted forever
On speed, bikes and booze
No one hammers on forever
We’re all born to lose

Lyrics:
He rides a road that don't have no end
An open highway without any bends
Tramp and his stallion, alone in a dream
Proud in his colours
As the chromium gleams

On iron horse he flies
On iron horse he gladly dies
Iron horse's his wife, iron horse's his life

He lives his life, he's living it fast
Don't try to hide
When the die have been cast
He rides a whirlwind
That cuts to the bone
Loaded forever and ferociously stoned

On iron horse he flies
On iron horse he gladly dies
Iron horse's his wife, iron horse's his life
Yeah, slide it to me

One day, one day, gonna go for the sun
Together they'll fly on the eternal run
Wasted forever
On speed bikes and booze
Yeah, us and the brothers
Say we're all born to lose

On iron horse he flies
On iron horse he gladly dies
Iron horse's his wife, iron horse's his life
Iron horse's alive, iron horse's a wife
Iron horse's a wife, iron horse's alive

Fairly kickin' ass in a rock & roll style. Cool bluesy solo.
Who would know how hard this band could rock.

The devil hates this song. He is a gay, and can’t win

Die happy, die on your horse and not your knees!

Fuck yeah man

Motörhead inspired me to play guitar. Rip Lemmy 'God' Kilmister. ✌🎸🎧🎼🎤

Toprağın bol olsun Lemmy!

This song is such the ultimate slow burner!!! Thank God for Terry "Geezer" Butler for inventing those bonegrinding bass power chords. To Lemmy for mastering them. And, to Kronos for reinventing them all over again!

No rest in piece about it. Lemmy still stands as rock n' roll posterity's warrior on the edge of time!!!

My brother sent me this to listen to. For which reason, I have no idea. Why would any sane person listen to such mindless nonsense.

Batshit crazy noise made by batshit crazy freaks made for batshit crazy freaks.

3 years today......xxxxxxxxx miss you

Fucking solo !

the on parole album version is alot better than this... just saying

Definitely fits the mood of the song better.

Eu adoro esse disco

speed bikes and booze

...and fast women

EYEAH SLIDE IT TO ME
RIP FAST EDDIE
RIP PHILTHY ANIMAL
RIP LEMMY

well said man

Born To Lose. Live To Win.

Philthy is so fucking under-rated.

Cult! With Animal on drums

I think that he will !!!!

So this is the sad day that the legendary trio belongs to big Heaven band!!!!!! RIP brothers!!!!! We will never forget you!!!!!!

RIP EDDIE

God is dead RIP Lemmy! you....

Born to lose or Born to lose?

Born too loose

best sound ever!!!

I still miss Lemmy........R.I.P.

Great solo

What album is that?

Their Eponomous, self-titled, 1st, MOTORHEAD

The very first 7" single from 1976.

I imagine this song got Motorhead a lot of its Hell's Angels fans...

for Tramp

@KlausDoitschlaaand ah ok, it's all the Angels in hell, thought it was all the Angels in here..

It was written by Philthy Taylor and Tramp from the London HA, The song is about Tramp and his love for the club. Of course the HA are going to be fans, Especially as Lem has always been a supporter of the club, and would have joined if he could actually ride worth a shit (His words)

Funnily enough @Robert Mills A lot of people thought Lemmy could ride a motorcycle..

@wreckerman lol. he was a danger to himself and everyone else on the road (again his words)

this is better then tater soup and shit cramps..

Steven Cooley the cramps are and always will be legendary

R.i.p. Lemmy, EL MÁS GRANDE!!!!

Ride On Lemmy! R.I.P.
We'll all see ya on the other side Mate!

We're all born to lose!

Please remember, Lemmy DID NOT write this song. It was written By PHIL "PHILTHY ANIMAL" TAYLOR and two other guys before he joined Motörhead...

One of those was Tramp (mentioned in the song) Who is still a prominent and respected member of the London Hells Angels

First time I saw Motorhead was in 1980, on the Bomber tour. Loved em then, love em still

once you love them you love them your live

mark brown yeah me too was at the mayfair. Newcastle...deaf for 4 days....

Motorhead and Black Sabbath turned me on to metal about 8 years ago. I was about 11, when my friend got me the Iron Man video game (shit game). The first level had Iron Man by BS as the song, and the whole time I was like "What the hell is this? What magical thing is this that I have never heard of before? THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING!"

I bought the Brütal Legend game later that year, and I would just keep We are the Road Crew and Back at the Funny Farm (both by motorhead) and Painkiller playing all the time. I was fucking enchanted!

Needless to say, it has been a wild ride. Long live the TRUE king of all things rock 'n roll, Lemmy. He was born Ian, but went on to shake the entire planet as Lemmy. He will live forever in our hearts. Hell just got heavier with him sitting at the throne.

\m/

I don't get why this isn't the damn anthem of biker... :( and we have in the pop culture dumb song like born to be wilde...

Different stuff dude, and different times: Born to be Wild was recorded almost 10 years before and without the old, "dumb" stuff there probably won't be anything you listen to.

Calling Steppenwolf a pop culture is like saying Jimmy Hendrix was a rapper. Get your culture history straight mate.

Murder One...

he was born to lose but lived to win

RIP Lemmy. Love this song. We miss u Lemmy.

I freacking love you forever you fuckin Lemy from heaven and hell and the corners of the universe, ride long my dear Lemmy <3

Yeah ! This version drives me crazy ! !!!!!!!!

Is there a version of this song (same record, not "On Parole" version) without the buzzing/hissing noise which especially can be heard starting around 2:12 and through the following guitar solo. It's pretty annoying but I can't find any clean version, even FLAC versions have that.

Agreed, makes it raw,  beautiful distortion.

its the volume of the recording itself going over the limits of what vinyl can reproduce. hence the distortion.

Its either what J-aux says or the sound of clicking on an extra overdrive pedal for the solo distortion.

The "warmth" of vinyl. Hipsters LOVE that shit.

Like a searing shredding noise? That's the raw-as-hell guitar making all that ruckus. Cheers lad!

Just Perfect!
HAIL HAIL Motorhead!

prefiro a versão do On Parole.

That guitar solo is ferociously stoned...

The king of Rock n' roll

My fave Biker track

R. I.P. LEMMY

Iron Bronco, a rockear en la moto que se ocupa

see you in the other side Lemmy! RIP

I can picture Lemmy riding off into the sunset giving the bird!!! RIP to the legend!!

doesn't matter that you got into late just as long as you like it that's the more important thing, shit it's better than not getting into it at all

Unfortunately, he won't be able to see them live.

He actually didn't like motorcycles.................

@The Man Emperor of Mankind "When I die, just play the records"-Jimi Hendrix

Bill Buck Actually all I've seen about Lemmy and motorcycles (out of the music), was an interview in the 70s when he was with Hawkwind. He stated that he knew how to ride but didn't currently have one at that time.

Most beautiful guitar solo ever...

yes, nice!..and nice n long!

SAD FEELINGS.
