Motörhead - 'Bomber' (Top Of The Pops Performance)

Ain't a hope in Hell
Nothing's gonna bring us down
The way we fly five miles off the ground
Because

We shoot to kill
And you know we always will
It's a bomber
It's a bomber

Scream a thousand miles
Hear the black death rising moan
Firestorm coming closer
Napalm to the bone
Because

You know we do it right
A mission every night
It's a bomber
It's a bomber
It's a bomber
Yeah!

No night fighter gonna stop us getting through
The sirens make you shiver
You bet my aim is true
Because

You know we aim to please
Bring you to your knees
It's a bomber
It's a bomber
It's a bomber

«I was reading Len Deighton's book Bomber at the time I wrote it. It's about a bombing raid on Germany when the British hit the wrong town, and it's what goes on the floor in the air from both sides. It's a really good book. You should read it.

"Bomber" was the first song I wrote about war. We made a big bomber lighting rig for the tour and we've still got it. It's big; it's about 40 feet down, 25 or 30 feet across and it's got lit-up propellers on it. It gets a truck all by itself.»

...εξομολογείται ο Lemmy το 2015 στο περιοδικό Rolling Stone για το τραγούδι "Bomber". Το γνωρίσαμε ως μέρος (το επιλογικό μουσικό κομμάτι) του ομότιτλου δίσκου των Motörhead που κυκλοφόρησε τον Οκτώβριο του 1979. Έναν μήνα αργότερα "βγήκε" και αυτόνομα, ως single, με το τραγούδι "Over the Top" στην δεύτερη πλευρά του επτάιντσου βινυλίου.

Στην παρούσα ανάρτηση θα απολαύσουμε τον Lemmy, τον Fast Eddie Clarke και τον Philthy Animal Taylor να αποδίδουν -στις 6 Δεκεμβρίου 1979- ένα από τα πλέον αναγνωρίσιμα τραγούδια των Motörhead στην εκπομπή του BBC "Top of the Pops"...
