Motorhead - On Parole Lyrics






They locked me up, put me away,
Said "You're gonna get out in forever and a day"
I didn't know what was going on,
All I was doing was looking for fun,
Forgot the reason, that's what I'm told,
But you've gotta get it in before you get old,
They thought they had me, had me for keeps,
But they don't know this boy never sleeps,
I'm back on the streets again,
I'm back on my feet again,
I'm On Parole, On Parole

I like laugh, I like a joke,
It's not my fault if my sense of humour broke,
I tried to tell them I was sick,
They said they think it was some kind of a trick,
Alright, I would have done good,
If they had listened to me like they should,
I wouldn't have this loaded gun,
Looking for a citizen to kill just for fun,
It's good to be free again,
It's good to be me again,
I'm On Parole, On Parole

Stop me now before I kill myself,
Stop me before I kill somebody else!

You'd better watch out, you never know,
Who's going to be the next to go,
Night my friend, but it ain't yours,
Fixes the odds, evens the scores,
Just turn around, I won't go wrong,
When he hits the ground I'll be long gone,
They won't suspect me, no not a soul,
'Cos I'm a good boy I'm On Parole,
I'm raising my sights again,
I'm claiming my rights again,
I'm On Parole, On Parole

Stop me now before I kill myself,
Stop me now, or get somebody else

    I think Larry Wallis' version is better. He was Motorhead's first guitarist and wrote this song. Both versions are from the same year, too.

    J.... ....

    I agree Larry Wallis is a great guitar player songwriter and vocalist Motorhead would have being a far better band if he had not left the group.

    Why Can't I find version from the original album ON PAROLE?

    A.... T....

    @Nuclear Goat No

    A.... T....

    @Pereira Kevin Yes

    A.... T....

    @Prog Hog 513 Autant pour moi l'ami

    A.... T....

    @Andre Tavares i know what you mean man

    A.... T....

    @Andre Tavares The On Parole album was a mix of this and early demos with Larry Wallis playing guitar.Released after this as big beat tried to cash in on it.

  81. A.... C....

    Lemmy was kicked out of Hawkwind for our sins.

    A.... C....

    Made me chuckle

    A.... C....

    And blessed us with so many incredible songs!

    A.... C....

    For doing the wrong drugs.

    A.... C....

    Absolutely correct !

    A.... C....

    and you can thank good ol' Nik Turner for that one!

  82. M.... ....

    Fuck, my video of "Fools" is blocked in Canada!!

  83. M.... ....

    yes it is, check my channel, the hole album is there.

  84. J.... T....

    It's a shame not many know that. Fools from "On Parole" is my fav Motorhead song, but it's not here on the tube. I'll try to make MP3's of my copy. Here's the gloat... 220gram white vinyl double LP of ON PAROLE with alternate versions. If I get it done I'll upload it for youtubers since there isn't ONE song from that album anywhere . It's the best album

  85. A.... ....

    It's not original but it's debut version. It's the 1977 re-issue version released in 1977 (It's on debut album). Original version was 1975 version, released in 1979.

    A.... ....

    win or loose its some for my
