Iron Maiden (UK-1) : Ruskin Arms
Lyrics
1. THE IDES OF MARCH
(Instrumental)
2. 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]
3. 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
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 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...
4. 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 !
5. 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
6. 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)
7. ANOTHER LIFE
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. TRANSYLVANIA
(Instrumental)
9. STRANGE WORLD
The only place where you can dream
Living here is not what it seems
Ship of white light in the sky
Nobody there to reason why
Here I am, I'm not really there
Smiling faces ever so rare
Let's walk in deepest space
Living here just isn't the place
Stalks of light grow from the ground
When I cry there isn't a sound
All my feelings cannot behold
I'm happy in my new strange world
Shades of green in grasses twine
Girls drinking plasma wine
A look at love a dream unfolds
Living here you'll never grow old
Oh, baby... Don't you hear me call...
10. INVASION
The Vikings are coming
You'd better get ready for, we're having a fight
The longboats are coming
It's looking like their in the dead of the night
Muster the men from all the villages
You'd better get ready to fight with your enemies
Beacons are burning
I'm giving the word to get ready to fight
The battle is nearing
You'd better get ready to fight for your lives
Muster the men from all the villages
You'd better get ready to fight with your enemies
[Chorus #1]
The Norsemen are coming, The Norsemen are coming
The warnings are given, The Norsemen are coming
The Norsemen are coming, The Norsemen are coming
The warnings are given, The Norsemen are coming
[Chorus #2]
Raping and pillaging
Robbing and looting the land
Raping and pillaging
Robbing and looting the land
Viking raiders from afar
[Chorus #1]
[Chorus #2]
11. 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]
12. 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 !
13. 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)
14. 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...
15. 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...
16. 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 !
