Whorehouse Blues
Motörhead Lyrics

Well we came up from the gutter,
We started at the lowest point in life,

The wrong side of the tracks,
We belonged to the poorest neighborhood,

Yeah, we came up from the gutter,
Yes, we've risen from the toughest times,

Wrong side of the tracks,
And we were part of the people who struggled,

You know the music brought us out, babe,
Through music, we were able to overcome our poverty,

And we ain't never been back,
And we never looked back since then,

Cause we went city to city,
We traveled from one place to another,

All around the world,
To different parts of the world,

Yes, we went city to city,
We've toured around cities a lot,

All around the world,
And across different continents too,

You know it never looked like enough, honey,
But no matter how much we performed, it still felt incomplete,

Even after thirty years,
Even after performing for three decades,

Cause we come blazing like a shooting star,
We perform with high energy like a shooting star,

We light you up real good,
Our performances are very intense,

We gonna hit you like a flash of lightning,
Our music will strike you powerfully like lightning,

Just like a bad boy would,
In a tough and fearless way, like a bad boy,

You know the only thing that's missing,
The only thing we need to add is,

Is a little mouth harp blues,
The sound of a harmonica,

And you know life's full of surprises,
And as we know, life is full of unexpected events,

You know we do that to,
We incorporate these surprises into our performances,

You know we ain't too good looking,
We may not appear physically attractive,

But we are satisfied,
But we are happy with who we are,

No, we ain't never been good looking,
It's true that we never had stunning appearances,

But we are satisfied,
But we're contented with what we've achieved,

We shoulda opened up a little whorehouse, honey,
We could have owned a small brothel for extra income,

Get a little booty on the side
And indulged in some pleasure on the side
