Lemmy was born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and raised in Anglesey, Wales. His father, a clergyman, left the family when Lemmy was three months old; the experience helped to imbue a deep hatred of religion in Lemmy and this is reflected in a number of his songs.

Stand By Me
Lemmy Kilmister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
giving all your love to just one man.
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times,
Doin' things that you don't understand.
But if you love him you'll forgive him,
even though he's hard to understand.
'Cause after all he's just a man.
Stand By Your Man,
Give him two arms to cling to,
And something warm to come to
when nights are cold and lonely.
Stand By Your Man,
And tell the world you love him.
Giving all the love you can.
Stand By Your Man.
Stand By Your Man,
And show the world you love him.
Keep giving all the love you can;
The lyrics to Lemmy Kilmister's (Motorhead) song Stand By Me are actually the opening lyrics to Tammy Wynette's hit country song by the same name. Lemmy puts his own spin on the classic tune by adding his signature gritty vocals and layering on a heavier instrumentation. The song speaks to the struggles of being in a committed relationship, with lyrics that suggest a woman giving all her love to just one man can be hard at times. The lyrics also suggest that relationships can have their ups and downs, with the woman experiencing bad times while the man experiences good times, leaving her feeling confused and unsure.
Despite the challenges, the song encourages women to stand by their men if they truly love them. The lyrics suggest that forgiveness is key, even when it's difficult, and that women should feel proud of their men and support them through thick and thin. The chorus repeats the message of the song, urging women to stand by their men, to give them two arms to cling to and something warm to come to when nights are cold and lonely. It's a classic message of love and devotion that has resonated with listeners across generations.

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
So darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
And darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me
Won't you stand now?
Oh, stand, stand by me
When all of our friends is gone
