Dirty Love
Motörhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could use some dirty love
You can't abuse my dirty love
That's what I need, to satisfy my greed
Come on over with your dirty love
I want to taste some dirty love
Don't want to waste your dirty love
Whatever you got, you bet your life I want the lot
I want to grab your dirty love
I gotta have your dirty love
I gotta have your dirty love
I'll show you the way, to dirty love all night all day




I'm gonna treat you to some dirty love
Right now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Motörhead's song "Dirty Love" are about an insatiable desire for sexual gratification. The singer craves "dirty love" and wants it all - he doesn't want to waste any of it. He's inviting his partner to come and provide him with what he needs, promising to reciprocate and show them the way to dirty love all night and all day. The use of the word "dirty" is key to understanding the meaning of the song. It suggests a raw, unpolished kind of love, one that is not concerned with societal norms or niceties. The song is a celebration of carnal desire and the innate human need for physical intimacy. It's a primal urge that cannot be ignored or denied.


The lyrics to "Dirty Love" are characteristic of Motörhead's style. The band was known for their loud, fast music and explicit lyrics. They were part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s and were one of the most influential bands in the genre. Motörhead's frontman, Lemmy Kilmister, wrote most of the band's songs and was known for his gritty, no-nonsense approach to music. He once described his style as "basic rock and roll, no bullshit". "Dirty Love" is a prime example of this style, with its simple chord progression, driving beat, and blunt lyrics.

Fact of the day: that album cover was shot in a quarry near High Wycombe. (They couldn't afford New Mexico at the time.)

@journeyintothebible

I can't believe I'm hearing this for the first time. Right now! Right now! Don't know how I overlooked this gem. I gotta dive back into their catalog.

@plumbc

I custom ordered this album and waited 6 weeks back in 1980, this song was not on the album. First time hearing it today. Just ordered the compilation album its on.
