Motorhead - Sympathy For The Devil Lyrics






Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long long year, stole many a man's soul to waste
I was 'round when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Cause what's confusing you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change
I Killed the Tsar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Cause what's puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game
Come on, come on, come on

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ah yeah, cause what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

I watched with glee while your kings and queens, fought for ten decades for the gods they made
I shouted out, who killed the Kennedys? When after all, it was you and me
Let me please introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
I laid tracks for the troubadours who were killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ah yeah, cause what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints

As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, oh yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name ahh yeah
Cause what's puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game

Ah yeah get down
What's my name, what's my name
Lucifer, that's my name
Ah yeah ah yeah ah yeah

    michelangelo

    ele cortou
    beethovem
    sua surdez
    encantou
    van gogh
    sua pintura
    eternizou
    villa lobos
    sua musica
    emocionou
    viva a arte
    esta cultura
    o mundo
    sempre amor.

  24. T.... B....

    R.I.P. Lemmy.

  25. R.... H....

    I'm not a Stones fan but like the coverversions. Great version!!

  26. P.... U....

    This is 10000000 times better than original

  27. J.... D....

    It's like when Johnny Cash covered Hurt!

  28. L.... A....

    Ideal to crush leftists in their social claims and street cuts.

    L.... A....

    Dude. Politics? Buzzkill. You're fired.

    L.... A....

    Ahem, Lemmy was pretty left in his beliefs. "The last Prime Minister I voted for was Harold Wilson, the best PM in my life time." also called Mitt Romney a monster and George Bush a scumbag and war criminal.

  29. N.... N....

    Awesome!!!!!

  30. C.... C....

  38. S.... S....

    anyone still hating people who post still missing messages!

  39. M.... ....

    The earth is not the place for an angel like you. R.I.P Lemmy Kilmister

  40. O.... H....

  41. F.... S....

    The Devil will surely get a handful with Lemmy visiting, guess he will get thrown out because of bad behaviour :)

    Lemmy Took this Song and Made it His Bitch !!!

  65. L.... ....

    It sound it was a bit of a low key for Lemmy

  66. A.... P....

    Fantastic. Saw these guys at Riot Fest, when Lemmy wasn't well. So sad. Such a sad ending for such a great band.

  67. b.... ....

    Whoa, Lemmy is actually kind of singing here. A little. 😲

    b.... ....

    beetheb fuck off, Lemmy may not be operatic like rob halford but his badass, unique voice makes up for it. He takes advantage of his limits which makes him better than most rockers of his time and ours

  68. Z.... S....

    Of course it's Track 13 :D

  69. J.... t....

    Lemmy is God. Lemmy is the Devil. Lemmy is everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!
