BLACK BART BLUES Harris/Dickinson
Black Bart knows Black Bart's done it The Black Bart blues Suspended in suspension Medieval nights in Tennessee, and elsewhere We all got to try the Black Bart blues Black Bart's truckin' ain't what it seems Black Bart's lookin' Don't know where she's been Maybe she's an acrobat Spends her evenings dancing on a pole We all got to try the Black Bart blues Black Bart tried most anything Black Bart liked it but he couldn't sing So he asked me to tell ya Try it for yourself and you will see We all got to try the Black Bart blues
Black Bart's lookin' to come back somehow So if you are a dancer, You could dance his pole in May That's a maypole Black Bart's coming Now Black Bart's gone Black Bart did it so I wrote this song Whatever and however, In and out or several at a time mmm yes! We all got to do the Black Bart blues Here comes the guitar solo We all got to try the Black Bart blues Yowsa! Yowsa! Yowsa! |
BURNING AMBITION Harris So you think you can own me, well you'd better just think again You'd better watch your steps now, woman, cause I ain't like those other men There's something burning inside me that makes me want to be free And when I get these feelings honey, you better keep away from me There's things in life now, baby, that I know I've got to do And I need your love now, baby, to help me see it through So you think you can own me, well you'd better just think again You'd better watch your steps now, woman, cause I ain't like those other men So you think you can own me, well you'd better just think again You'd better watch your steps now, woman, cause I ain't like those other men There's something burning inside me that makes me want to be free And when I get these feelings honey, you better keep away from me | ||

I LIVE MY WAY Harris/Bayley/Gers Sometimes when I feel the anger Sometimes when I'm all alone Sometimes when I feel surrounded Like all the doors are closed I feel like I've been a prisoner I feel like I've been a tool Let people try to judge me When they're not in my shoes I've lived on my knees Trying to please It's time to change Some people are only happy When they can watch you fail And to them every day is Another coffin nail I think that I've found the answer I think that at last I know We've only got one lifetime I'll make my life my own I've lived on my knees Trying to please It's time to change To live my own way I live my way Living for today Don't care what they say |
INVASION later modified to become INVADERS Harris 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 The Norsemen are coming The Norsemen are coming The warnings are given The Norsemen are coming Raping and pillaging Robbing and looting the land Viking raiders from afar Viking raiders from afar Viking raiders from afar | ||

JUDGEMENT DAY Bayley/Gers There are no marks upon a man That can say he's good or bad No label and no tell tale sign That can show he's full of lies By your deeds you will be known Time will tell truth will show As we exhale every breath We all got closer to our death What will you say What will you say On judgement day On judgement day When you look into their eyes You don't know what they hide No label and no tell tale sign That can show he's full of lies By your deeds you will be known Time will tell truth will show As we exhale every breath We all got closer to our death What will you say What will you say On judgement day On judgement day Ignorance is bliss is that the reason We can not read another's mind If we knew what thoughts were dancing Through each others heads Would we all be driven mad Would we all be dead By your deeds you will be known Time will tell truth will show As we exhale every breath We all got closer to our death What will you say What will you say On judgement day On judgement day |
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE Murray/Harris Have you heard on the news Another let off madman Another screw on the loose Is it the judge or the badman What's the matter these days No one has the courage to put them away Nobody has any faith 'Cause there's a breakdown of justice and order Watiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace When I remember back the memories of yesteryear With all the friends and all the times When people were carefree And walking down the street When everyone knew everyone And all the houses doors were open No had to care those days are gone Those days are gone Watiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace I long for the times when you could Wander down the street unharmed When poeple didn't have much money But didn't seem to care It must be the cynic in me But I don't really like things now The violence, the attitudes Aggression that you see everyday A sick society looks the other way. | ||

SANCTUARY Harris/Di'anno/Murray Out of the winter came a war horse of steel. I've never killed a woman before, but I know how it feels. Chorus: 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. 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 met up with a 'slinger last night to keep me alive. He spends all his money on gambling and guns to survive. Chorus: I can laugh at the wind, I can howl at the rain. Down in the Canyon or out in the plain. Chorus: |
SHERIFF OF HUDDERSFIELD Iron Maiden Life in a city living in L.A. Is a long way from Huddersfield town The back of the Rainbow's a long way from heaven But that's where he get's his pork pie Limos and ladies they're driving him queasy Rugby and cricket's unknown Baseball and football they're making him lazy Your fan club says "Rodney come home" Chorus: The Sheriff of Huddersfield locked in his castle Look down on Hollywood Hills The Sheriff of Huddersfield locked in his castle You're our own Hot Rod on wheels A good game of arrows a few dozen barrels The Nautilus rusts in the yard But for Yorkshire he's yearning but because he's earning He'll always live in L.A. A custom made wallet that stays in his pocket And never comes out to pay bills He's winning at poker and playing the Joker And he always cheats when he deals Chorus: RODNEY'S RAP Hello, let me introduce meself! My name is Rodney. I'm immensely strong. When I were a lad, I could lift up five navies on an end of a shovel. The reason I never took martial arts because I was immensely fearsome and I'd probably kill everybody I came into contact with it. I was phenomenally strong. Pride and ego, my lads, pride and ego, is what makes the world rotate. And everybody knows the centre of the universe is Huddersfield but I don't live there anymore. I live in Los Angeles. It's great!... I think Rufus the red has a crane by his bed To wrench himself up in the morn' But if you dare to tread at the foot of his bed You'll wish you'd never been born. A bear with a sore head we mean your forehead He slumbers for most of the day Wide eyed and legless baked beans for breakfast Your problem Rodney L.A. Chorus | ||

TOTAL ECLIPSE Harris/Murray/Burr Cold as steel the darkness waits, it's hour will come A cry of fear for the chosen worshipping the sun Mother natures black revenge on those who waste her life War babies in the garden of Eden shall turn our ashes to ice CHORUS: Sunrise is gone, freezing up the fires Sunrise is gone, numbing all desires Sunrise is gone, Sunrise is gone Around the world the people stop with terror-stricken eyes A shadow cast upon them all to crush them like a fly In the icy rain and whiplashed seas there's nowhere left to run The hammer blows of winter fall like a hurricane CHORUS: Around the world the nations wait for some wise words from their leading light You know it's not only madmen who listen to fools "Is this the end" the millions cried clutching their riches as they died Those who survive must weather the storm Gone are the days when man looked down They've taken away his sacred crown To be so free, it took so long It's not the journeys end, it's just begun |
TWILIGHT ZONE Harris/Murray She lays in bed at night and that is when I make my call. But when she stares at me, she can't see nothing at all, Because, you see, I can't take no shape or form. It's been three long years since I've been gone. I can't get used to purgatory, you know it really makes me cry. I'll never know the reason why I had to go. Oh, oh, I'm crying, Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me. Oh, oh, oh, can't you see me? Ah can't you see me? I'm looking forward to her spirit coming over to me. I feel tempted to bring her over to see just what it's Like to be hanging on the other side. I feel so lonely, it's a long time since I died. I try to show her that she's never gonna be alone, Because my spirit is imprisoned in the twilight zone. Oh, oh, I'm crying, Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me. Oh, oh, oh, can't you see me? Ah can't you see me? | ||

Harris/Gers/Murray/Bayley There's an evil virus that's threatening mankind Not state of the art, a serious state of the mind The muggers, the backstabbers, the two faced elite A menace to society, a social disease Rape of the mind is a social disorder The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship order Watching beginnings of social decay Gloating or sneering at life's disarray Eating away at your own self esteem Pouncing on every word that you might be saying Rape of the mind is a social disorder The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship order Superficially smiling a shake of the hand As soon as the back is turned treachery is planned Rape of the mind is a social disorder The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship order Watching beginnings of social decay Gloating or sneering... at life's disarray When every good thing's laid to waste By all the jealousy and hate By all the acid wit and rapier lies And every time you think you're safe And when you go to turn away You know they're sharpening all their paper knives All in your mind All in your head Try to relate it All in your mind All in your head Try to escape it Without a conscience they destroy And that's a thing that they enjoy They're a sickness that's in all our minds They want to sink the ship and leave The way they laugh at you and me You know it happens all the time All in your mind All in your head Try to relate it All in your mind All in your head Try to escape it The rats in the cellar you know who you are.... Or do you? Watching beginnings of social decay.... |
