1. THE IDES OF MARCH

(Instrumental)


2. SANCTUARY

Out of the winter came a warhorse of steel
I've never killed a woman before but I know how it feels

[Chorus #1]
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law

I met up with a stranger last night, to keep me alive
He spends all his time on gambling and guns to survive

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]
So give me sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just give me sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight... tonight

[Chorus #1]

I can laugh at the wind, I can howl at the rain
Down in the canyon or out on the plains

[Chorus #1]
[Chorus #2]

Love me tonight...


3. WRATHCHILD

I was born into a scene
Of angriness and greed
Of dominance and persecution

My mother was a queen
My dad I've never seen
I was never meant to be

[Chorus #1]
Now I spend my time looking all around
For a man that's nowhere to be found
Until I find him, I'm never gonna stop searching
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel round

[Chorus #2]
'Cause I'm a wrathchild
Well, I'm a wrathchild
Yeah, I'm a wrathchild
I'm coming to get you, oh yeah, yeah !

Some say I shouldn't matter
Ain't nothing gonna alter
The course of my destination

But I know I've gotta find
Some serious peace of mind
Or I know I'll just go crazy

[Chorus #1]
[Chorus #2]


4. REMEMBER TOMORROW

Unchain the colours before my eyes
Yesterday sorrows, tomorrow white lies
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher
I shall return from out of the fire

Tears for remembrance and tears for joy
Tears for somebody and this lonely boy
Out in the madness the all seeing eye
Flickers above us to light up the sky

Unchain the colours before my eyes
Yesterday sorrows, tomorrow white lies
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher
I shall return from out of the fire


5. CHARLOTTE THE HARLOT

Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're saying
Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're giving

Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're after
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all their laughter

[Chorus]
Charlotte the harlot - Show me your legs
Charlotte the harlot - Take me to bed
Charlotte the harlot - Let me see blood
Charlotte the harlot - Let me see love

Taking so many men to your room, don't you feel no remorse
You charge them a fiver only for starters and ten the main course

You've got no feelings, they died long ago, don't you care who you let in
Don't you know you're breaking the law with the service you're giving

[Chorus]

There was a time when you left me standing there picking up pieces of love from the floor
Well, Charlotte you left me alone in there to make your ends as a bloody whore

Well, Charlotte you told me you love me true picking up pieces of love yesterday
Well, Charlotte your drawers are off colour too 'cause you're making love all day

Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're saying
Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're giving

Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're after
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all their laughter

[Chorus]


6. KILLERS

You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs

My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise
The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night
I have no one, I'm bound to destroy all this greed
A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me

I can't see what a knife's meant to be
And you'll never know how I came to foresee, see, see

My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties
With the glimmer of metal my moment is ready to strike

The death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night
Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light !
I have found you and no there is no place to run
Excitement shakes me, oh God help me, what have I done ?

Oh, yeah ! I've done it...

You walk through the subway, my eyes burn a hole in your back
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you, my blood lust defies all my needs

Oh, look out ! I'm coming for you...


7. ANOTHER LIFE (INCLUDING DRUM SOLO)

As I lay here lying on my bed, sweat voices come into my head
Oh, what it is ? I wanna know... Please won't you tell me it's got to go
There's a feeling that's inside me, telling me to get away
But I'm so tired of living, I might as well end today

(All the song : 3 times)


8. PROWLER

Walking through the city
Looking oh so pretty
I've just got to find my way

See the Ladies flashing
All their legs and lashes
I've just got to find my way

[Chorus]
Well you see me crawling through
The bushes with it open wide
What you seeing girl
Can't you believe that feeling
Can't you believe it
Can't you believe your eyes
It's the real thing girl

Got me feeling myself, and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around

Got me feeling myself, and reeling ar'
Got me talking but nothing's kill me
Got me feeling myself, and reeling around

Walking through the city
Looking oh so pretty
I've just got to find my way

See the Ladies flashing
All their legs and lashes
I've just got to find my way

[Chorus]

Got me feeling myself, and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around... Yeah !


9. INNOCENT EXILE

My life is so empty, nothing to live for
My mind is all confusion 'cause I defied the law
When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran
I never had no trouble before this all began

My life is so empty, nothing to live for
My mind is all confusion 'cause I defied the law
When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran
I never had no trouble before this all began

I'm running away, I've nowhere to go
I'm lost and tired and I just don't know, yeah !
They say I killed a woman, they know it isn't true
They're just trying to frame me, and all because of you, yeah !

Long I'm running...


10. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

I've been looking so long for you now, you won't get away from my grasp
You've been living so long in hiding, in hiding behind that false mask

You know and I know that you ain't got that long to last
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past

Standing in the wings there, you wait for the curtain to fall
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all

And I know that you're gonna scratch me and maim me and maul
And you know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call

Keep your distance, walk away
Don't take this bait, don't you stray, don't fade away

Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may
Don't you stray from the narrow way

I'm running and hiding, in my dreams you are always there
You're the phantom of the opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare

You damaged my mind and my soul just floats through the air
You haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your fair

...Torture me back at your fair !


11. IRON MAIDEN

Won't you come into my room
I want to show you all my wares
I just want to see your blood
I just want to stand and stare

See the blood begin to flow
As it falls upon the floor
Iron Maiden can't be fought
Iron Maiden can't be sought

Oh well, wherever, wherever you are
Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far
See the blood flow, watching it shed
Up above my head, Iron Maiden wants you for dead

(All the song : 3 times)


12. RUNNING FREE

Just sixteen, a pick up truck
Out of money, out of luck
I've got nowhere to call my own
Hit the gas and here I go

[Chorus]
I'm running free yeah, I'm running free
I'm running free yeah, I'm running free

Spend the night in an L.A. jail
Listen to the sirens wail
But they ain't got a thing on me
I'm running wild, I'm running free... yeah !

[Chorus]

Get out of my way !

[Chorus]

Pulled her at the Bottle Top
Whisky dancing, disco hop
And all the boys are after me
And that's the way it's gonna be... yeah !

[Chorus] (x3)


13. DRIFTER

Walk away !

Look out now, baby won't you take me away
Sittin' here it's gonna be a new day
Gotta get my song and I can't go wrong
Gotta keep on roaming, gotta sing my song

What you feeling when you hold me tight
I'm gonna cuddle up with you tonight
Gonna get to feeling so secure
Listen child, don't you see there's a cure

Anywhere got to get you away
Feels so good, think it's gonna be a new day
I'm gonna get my song 'till I can't go on
I'm gotta keep on roaming, gotta sing my song

What you feeling when you hold me tight
I'm gonna cuddle up with you tonight
Gonna get to feeling so secure
Listen child, don't you see there's a cure

Anywhere got to get you away
Feels so good, think it's gonna be a new day
I'm gonna get my song 'till I can't go on
I'm gotta keep on roaming, gotta sing my song

Gotta sing my song, yeah !
And it won't take long
I'm gotta sing my song, yeah !
And won't you sing it along ?

I want you to sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it along (x4)

'Cause I'm a drifter drifting you...


14. WOMEN IN UNIFORM

Beehive hairdo, 45 on the hip
Patrolwoman Saunders, don't you give her no whip
Took me to the station for a breath test
Then back to the bedroom for some house-arrest

[Chorus]
Women in uniform
Sometimes they look so cold
Women in uniform
But oh ! They feel so warm

Coming back to London on a 747
Stewardess made me feel like I'm in Heaven
Looking up the aisle to see what I could see
She leaned over, said give it to me

White apron, brown leather shoes
The nurse at the clinic left my heart all bruised
Gave me a massage, sprained my right
Now she takes my temperature every night

[Chorus]

Women in uniform (x4)

Commando raid on the lebanese border
Sergeant Anita, she gives the order
Khaki jacket and a love gun
Baby, I surrender, let's have some fun

[Chorus] (x2)

Women in uniform (x4)

Women in uniform
Can't live by the rule
Women in uniform
Coming up to you

Women in uniform
Sometimes they look so cold
Women in uniform
But oh yeah ! Oh yeah !

Women in uniform
Can't live by the rule
Women in uniform
Coming up to you

Women in uniform
Sometimes they look so cold
Women in uniform
Look out ! Look out !


15. I'VE GOT THE FIRE

If you're looking for someone that you can keep then, baby, pass me by
And if you wanted something that's twenty years deep, baby, don't even try
And if you wanted someone to take your soul I'll lift you up little bit higher

I've got the fire

So you think I'm skinny, don't you sell me cheap, I'm as wide as a country-mile
Some like it wide, I like it deep, guess which one is my style
So you think you can beat me by my own game, maybe I call you a liar

I've got the fire
I've got the fire... !
I've got it !
