Motorhead - The Hammer Lyrics






Let the killer go, don't let your mother know,
Don't go out tonight, don't even try to fight,
'Cos 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 onto you,
I'll scare you half to death, I'll take away your breath,
Don't try to see, don't try to hide,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna make you die

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 try to hide, don't look around,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna bring you down,

Believe me, The Hammer's coming down!

    Simon Willetts r/whoosh

    T.... O....

    @Tangy Orange whoosh what??

    T.... O....

    Simon Willetts it’s the sound of my comment going over your head. I was making a joke about Motörhead sounding like Discharge. Obviously Discharge cane after and were influenced by Motörhead. Don’t believe me? Listen to Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing. You’ll definitely hear the Motörhead influence.

    T.... O....

    @Tangy Orange dont worry i know discharge very well...gbh were as band were a much closer fit to motorhead than discharge...wilf was wearing motorhead t shirts in group shots early 80s...and dont forget discharge had there infamous spell of soft rock ...unlike motorhead and gbh

    T.... O....

    @Tangy Orange check out grave new world ...year 1986 ...lol then check out what motorhead were doing👍

  5. y.... b....

    Now that's brutal and it's great!

  6. C.... C....

    Original Motorhead lineup !!!!!!!!!!!

  7. 6.... ....

    Motorhead were put on earth to make you bang your head and fuck up your hearing 🤟🏻

  8. i.... ....

    18 aassholes that the hammer will crush.

  9. m.... s....

    Miles bettet than ace of spades. Pity they got stuck in a rut setlist wise, in their last few years. This should have been in the set for years.

  10. e.... m....

    it's gonna b that way

  11. O.... P....

    National anthem of The Revolution.

    O.... P....

    Its about heroin lol

  12. A.... P....

    I swear this is a testosterone booster💪!!

  13. h.... ....

    I need dirty love to go right after this

  14. G.... C....

    I miss this man,I know I ain't the only one.This fury could never be caged not even in earth,heaven or hell.Long live Lemmy.

    G.... C....

    @Tobbe Häggberg Gee thanks,Have a good day!

    G.... C....

    @Tobbe Häggberg Mate,You had a dig at me for assuming something in your reply but then you do the exact same thing in the next reply.Would act like this face to face?I think not.All I ever wanted to do was to put some words up about a person who's music has influenced me since I was a child till this very day.Not get into some dumb fuck troll war with some stranger on the otherside of the planet.Maybe step away from the screen for a bit,Go interact with reality and don't give your opinion to everyone who mourns the loss of true rock n roll legend.

    G.... C....

    @Tobbe Häggberg Pftt I don't kiss and make up with tossers.I call BULLSHIT on pretty much everything you just wrote.If this is your way of intimidating me on the information superhighway,you're wrong.You have no clue who I could be,not a speckle of galaxy dust.

    (Btw a lot of chapters of the HA's would give Motorhead a motorcade into shows)

    Have a good fuck off.

    G.... C....

    Well lemmy is innocent so you might be up there not down there

  15. T.... r....

    The most punchy song I like from this album!

  16. y.... b....

    Agree or not this song is rather brutal and it's more than good most of their songs were hard rock but lemmy desirves the title of Doctor of the metal on your knees for the king!

  17. p.... ....

    "This one's dedicated to little Philbert. And it's called The Hammer!."

  18. J.... C....

    RAZORFIST led me here.

  19. C.... ....

    Playing this on guitar will destroy your left hand, its insane.

  20. D.... J....

    No sound like Motorhead!

  21. f.... m....

    Favorite MOTORHEAD song. Just ahead of Stone Dead Forever.

    f.... m....

    Stone Dead Forever is amazing song

  22. C.... &....

    Curious if motorhead still rock n rollin up there in heaven or down to hell or probably both😇👹

    C.... &....

    Christopher &BAYTROCK Both. They tour extensively. Motorhead are the one thing both God and the devil can agree on.

    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

    Oh, 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 onto you
    I'll scare you half to death, I'll take away your breath

    Oh, 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

    Oh, don't you try it, babe, don't look around
    Believe me, the hammer's gonna bring you down

    Believe me, the hammer's coming down
