Bomber

Bomber is the title track of the 1979 album. Lemmy told Rolling Stone in 2015 that he wrote it while reading Len Deighton's novel Bomber, which is about a bombing raid on Germany in which the British hit the wrong town, and that it was the first song he wrote about war. The band built a big lighting rig for the tour, about 40 feet long and 25 or 30 feet across with lit-up propellers, and Lemmy said it needed a truck of its own.

Bronze issued it as a single on blue vinyl in 1979, the first 20,000 copies, then black. It entered the chart on 1 December and peaked at 34, and the band played it on Top of the Pops on 3 December. The B-side was Over the Top, which later became a bonus track on the remastered album. The song stayed in the live set, and live versions appear on No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith, Everything Louder than Everyone Else, Live at Brixton Academy, Better Motörhead than Dead and Clean Your Clock, among others.
