It's a great day for rawk!

Not only did Martacycle secure our tickets this morning for Elvis Costello next month (thanks, you), and not only is Luna next week, but Motorhead was announced for April 9 at the Roseland --- the night after Elvis the C. plays there! Holy smokes, it's like the late seventies/early eighties all over again musically --- no complaints here!

Here are the lyrics to the Motorhead song I am cranking as I type this:

Deaf Forever

Stoneface dog, swirling fog, gates open on the dark dark night
Standing stone, skull and bone, dead witness to an unseen fight
Beat the drum, beat the drum, beat forever on the endless march
Stricken dumb, cut and run, someone is screaming and the sky is dark

[Chorus]
Sword and shield, bone and steel, rictus grin
Deaf forever to the battles din

March or croak, flame and smoke, burn forever in eternal pain
Charge and fall, bugle call, bone splinter in the driving rain
Horses scream, Viking dream, drowned heroes in a lake of blood
Armoured fist, severed wrist, broken spears in a sea of mud

[Repeat chorus]

Mother earth, mother earth enfold you in her cold embrace
Sinking down, killing ground, worm crawling on your cold white face
Win or lose, nought to choose, all men are equal when their memory fades
No one knows, friends or foes, if Valhalla lies beyond the grave


Lemmy of Motorhead rocks the mic
