Close enough. It's "If Motörhead moved in next to you, your lawn would die." Why he said "lawn" I have no idea... ;)

Another of his quotes is about Ace of Spades: For the lyrics, Lemmy said he "used gambling metaphors, mostly cards and dice - when it comes to that sort of thing, I'm more into the one-arm bandits actually, but you can't really sing about spinning fruit, and the wheels coming down".

So there you go, Lemmy's a fellow player. ;)

Over to Matt.
