From Fear of the Dark (1992) by Iron Maiden

Be Quick or Be Dead (Bruce Dickinson, Janick Gers) - 3:24

Covered in sinners and dripping with gilt
Making you money from slime and from filth
Parading your bellies in ivory towers
Investing our lives in your schemes and your powers

You got to watch them - Be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven - The thief in your head
You've got to watch them - Be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven - The thief in your head...

Be quick !
Or be dead !
Be quick !
Or be dead

See... what's ruling all our lives
See... who pulling the strings...
I bet you won't fall on your face
Your belly will hold you in place
The serpent is crawling inside of your ear
He says must vote for what you want to hear
Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright
So pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind.

From Here to Eternity (Harris) - 3:38

She fell in love with his greasy machine
She leaned over wiped his kick-start clean
She'd never seen the beast before
But she left there wanting more more more

But when she was walking on down the road
She heard a sound that made her heart explode
He whispered to her to get on the back
"I'll take you on ride from here to eternity"

Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity

She must be having one of her crazy dreams
She'd never sat on a piece so mean
It made her feel like's she's on cloud nine
She even thought she heard the engine sign

But like all dreams that come to an end
They took a tumble at the devil's bend
The beast and Charlotte they were two of a kind
They'd always take the line... from here to eternity

Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity

Afraid to Shoot Strangers (Harris) - 6:56

Lying away at night I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not fear 'cos I'd rather go now
Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead
The desert send mound a burial ground

When it comes to the time
Are we partners in crime ?
When it comes to the time
We'll be ready to die

God let us go now and finish what's to be done
Thy Kingdom come
Thy shall be done... on earth

Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
Should live and let live
Forget or forgive

But how can we let them go on this way ?
The reign of terror corruption must end
And we know deep down there's no other way
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say

Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers.

Fear Is the Key (Dickinson, Gers) - 5:35

We live our lives in fever
In choking sweat of fear
In the heart of the night you can feel so much
In the heat of the night I scream "Don't touch"

I remember a time when we used and abused
And we fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time we thought that passion was free
In the heart of the night... bodies aflame

We live in fever...

I hear your secret heartbeat
I can hear your silent cries
The kids have lost their freedom
And nobody cares till somebody famous dies...

I remember a time when we used and abused
And we fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time we thought that passion was free
In the heart of the night... bodies aflame

Now we live, in a world of uncertainty
Fear is the key - to what you want to be
You don't get a say the majority gets it's way
You're outnumbered by the bastards till the day you die...

Childhood's End (Harris) - 4:40

I'd sail across the ocean
I'd walk a hundred miles
If I could make it to the end
Oh just to see a smile

You see it in their faces
The sadness in their tears
The desperation and the anger
Madness and the fear

No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, just greed is here

Starvation and the hunger
The suffering and the pain
The agonies of all-out war
When will it come again?

The struggle for the power
A tyrant tries again
Just what the hell is going on?
When will it ever end?

No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, just greed is here

You see the full moon float
You watch the red sun rise
We take this things for granted
But somewhere someone's dying

Contaminated waters
Pollution and decay
Just waiting for disease to strike
Oh will we learn someday?

No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, no seed, childhoods end.

Wasting Love (Dickinson, Gers) - 5:50

Maybe one day I'll be an honest man
Up till now I'm doing the best I can
Long roads.Long days, of sunrise, to sunset
Sunrise to sunset

Dream on brother. While you can
Dream on sister. I hope you will find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time

Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love, in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night

Dream on brother. While you can
Dream on sister. I hope you will find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time

Sands are flowing and the lines are in your hand

The Fugitive (Harris) - 4:54

On a cold October morning
As frost lay on the ground
Waiting to make my move
I made no sound

Waiting for the mist to cover all around
I carefully picked my time then took the wall

I'm sick and tired of running
The hunger and the pain
A stop to look about then off again

Being at the wrong place
And at the wrong time
Suspected of a hit that was my crime

I am a fugitive being hunted down like game
I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name

Always looking 'round me
Forever looking back
I'll always be a target for attack

Every morning onwards
Always on the run
Waiting for a sight of a loaded gun

I am a fugitive being hunted down like game
I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name

Even if I find them
And get to clear my name
I know that things can never be the same

But if I ever prove
My innocence some day
I've got to get them all to make them pay

I am a fugitive being hunted down like game
I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name

Chains of Misery (Dickinson, Dave Murray) - 3:37

There's a madman in the corner of your eye
He likes to pry-into your sunlight
He wants to burst into the street with you and I
A world of shadows and of rain
He's seen what love is...
He wants to pay you back with guilt...

He lies to you he won't let you be
He's got your Chains of misery
He be still till he's turned your key
He holds your Cains of misery

There's prophet in the gutter in the street
He say "You're damned !" - and you believe him...
He's got a vision but it shines out through your eyes
A world of hatred and fear...
He's felt what love means...
He wants to pay you back with pain

He lies to you he won't let you be
He's got your Chains of misery
He be still till he's turned your key
He holds your Cains of misery

It's only love that holds the key to our hearts... only love...

He lies to you he won't let you be
He's got your Chains of misery
He be still till he's turned your key
He holds your Cains of misery

He lies to you he won't let you be
He's got your Chains of misery
He be still till he's turned your key
He holds your Cains of misery

The Apparition (Harris, Gers) - 3:54

Now I'm here can you see me
'Cos I'm out on my own
When the room goes cold tell me you can feel me
..........'cos I'm here

Here I am, can you see me
Passing through, on my way
To a place I'd been to only in my dreams... before

In a world of delusion
Never turn your back on a friend
'Cause you can count your real true friends on one hand
..........through life

There are those that deceive you
There are those That'll let you down
Is there someone out there that would die for you
..........thought not

Live your life with a passion
Everything you do, do well
You only get out of life what you put in
..........so they say

In a world of confusion
People never say that what they mean
If you want a straight answer go look for one
..........right now

In a room full of strangers
Do you stand with your back to the wall
Do you sometimes feel like you're on the outside
..........looking in?

You can make your own luck
You create your destiny
I believe you have the power if you want to
..........it's true

You can do what you want to
If you try a little bit harder
A little bit of faith goes a long way
..........it does

Are we here for a reason?
I'd like to know just what you think
It would be nice to know what happened when we die
..........wouldn't it?

There are some who are wise
There are some who are born naive
I believe that there are some that must have lived before
..........don't you?

As for me, well I'm thinking
You gotta keep an open mind
But I hope that my life's not an open and shut case.

Extra Sensory Perception
Life After Death, telepathy
Can the soul live on and travel through space and time?

You know I feel so elated
'Cause I'm about to find it out
And when I know all the answers
Maybe then I'll come back
..........to feel you in

You don't be alarmed now
If I try to contact you
If things go missing or get moved around ...it's me

And don't disbelieve it
No matter what your `friends' might say
We'll meet up again some place some way
..........one day

Judas Be My Guide (Dickinson, Murray) - 3:08

Lights out - We live in a world of darkness
No doubt - Everything's up for sale
We sleep - All of the world is burning
We pray - To god for better deal
Nothing is sacred - Back then or now
Everything's wasted...
Is that all there is?
Can I go now?

Judas my guide
Whispers in the night
Judas my guide

Fight wars - Die in a blaze of glory
Come home - Meat in a plastic sack
Fall down - Better pray to your god for mercy
So kneel - and help the blade cut clean
Nothing is sacred - Back then or now
Everyone's wasted...
Is that all there is?
Is that it now?

I live in the black
I have no guiding light
I'm whispering in your dreams...

Judas my guide
Whispers in the night
Judas my guide

Judas my guide
Whispers in the night
Judas my guide

Weekend Warrior (Harris, Gers) - 5:39

The rebel of yesterday, tomorrow's fool
Who are you kidding being that cool ?

Trying to break away from running with the pack
But they ain't listening so you've gotta go back

You're a weekend warrior when you're one of the crowd
But it's over, just look at you now...

You're not so brave the way you behave
It makes you sick, gotta get out quick
It's all bravado when you're out with your mates
It's like a different person goes through those gates
And the game begins, the adrenaline's high
Feel the tension maybe someone will die...

A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you ain't that way any more

You've gotta get out gotta get away
But you're in with a cligue it's not easy to stray
You've gotta admit you're just living a lie
It didn't take long to workout why

It's hard to say why you got involved
Just waiting to be part, just waiting to belong...

A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you ain't that way any more

Some of the things that you've done you feel so ashamed
After all it's only a game... isn't it ?
And after all the adrenaline's gone
What you gonna do on Monday ?

A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you were never like that at all.

Fear of the Dark (Harris) - 7:18

I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park

When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark.

Fear of the dark,fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark,fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there

Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light ?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you.

Have you ever been alone at night
Through your heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no-one's there ?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there

Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense,and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind.

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there.

When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone

Nodding Donkey Blues

Settle down
She's got legs... like an airship, She's got an ass.... like (unintelligible)
She's got tits... just like hot air balloons... and I mean the Hindenburg!
She's the biggest girl, I'm gonna get there soon
Yeah you know what I mean
She's got love when you want it, but she never lets go when you get it
You disappear inside, you're never seen again... lost forever!
She's the biggest girl, I'm gonna get there soon
Alright, here we go...
Should be some kind of guitar solo here...
Well I met her in a bar, she was propping up the wall
I don't think she was available, she was made of concrete (unintelligible)
I met her in a bar, she was propping up the wall
In fact she was nailed to it
I gotta admit, (unintelligible) babe... lets get down to it baby
She had a brain like a sheep-dip,
She got (unintelligible) like a shepherd (unintelligible)
She was a big girl, she was big.
I mean she was big, she was fucking huge! Enormous!
Needed a sign overhead (unintelligible)
Never even had landing permission!
One more!
Oh we sailed across the ocean you and me
I looked like a flea on the back of a sperm whale
Oh yeah, I was waving a match inside the Albert Hall

Space Station No. 5 (Montrose, Hagar)

[Originally by Montrose]

Start, with the sun
And move on out
The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold
And a new star is born
Space and time makin' love

Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground
I've moved to station No. 5
See you next time around,
Next time around

As far you want, as close as you need
It's all in the mind, you know
This old world hasn't really seen it's day
It's here, time to go

Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground
I've moved to station No. 5
See you next time around,
Next time around

Remember when it was so clear
We were young, but the memory still remains
To pick fruit from a tree
Fish from the seas
Now nothing's left here, but the stains
Well I can't cry no more
Can only be glad
There's other places we can be
If the time suits you right
I'm leaving tonight
Come fly away
With me!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Oh, yeah

Start, with the sun
And move on out
The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold
A new star is born
Space and time makin' love

Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground
I've moved to station No. 5
See you next time around,
Next time around

Roll Over Vic Vella (Chuck Berry)

[Originally Roll Over Beethoven by Chuck Berry]

Vic:
...well.

Steve:
Oh yeah?

Vic:
Went down ten feet, got a JCB from the road 'cause my other one wouldn't reach. Dug it out... after ten or fifteen minutes he went back to the hole to check the height... full of water! Must have come from the river, eh?

Steve:
Dunno...someone must have pissed in it.

Vic:
Say well, fucking big piss... somebody did.

Someone:
Something you were doing down the

Vic:
Trying to feed it through the ground, it's like a well. About three feet deep So I....that's right, fucking John shit himself. There was soil, it's like quicksand.... he went down there to spread the fucking soil, and he's sinking in, isn't he. He suddenly reached for the fucking fork lift and I lifted up he couldn't reach it... he was shitting himself. He was just going by the at the end of the boots. He said "I'm fucking going, I'm going! Just lower the fucking forklift quick!" And he grabbed hold of it, so I had to lift it up with him hanging on the end of it. Good job he didn't let go otherwise right in the fucking mud!

(Solo: Dave Murray)

Gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local MP
He's a Maltese man and he's mowing the lawn my way
Roll over Vic Vella, give me more bales of hay

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, don't you mow that lawn my way

Early in the morning i'm giving you a warning

Don't you step on my tractor blades
Hey devil he's on the fiddle
And he ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Vic Vella, tell the tax man the bad news

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, don't you tell the tax man the news

You want to buy a truck and need a new VCR

Roll over Vic Vella, I see that panda-car

(Solo: Dave Murray)

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella

Roll over Vic Vella, Roll over Vic Vella
Roll over Vic Vella, don't you play that game with me

I Can't See My Feelings (Burke Shelley, Tony Bourge, Steve Williams)

[Originally by Budgie]

I can't see my feelings
Open my eyes
I can't see my feelings
Open a pair of eyes

I can't see my feelings
Keep them behind
I just keep on reeling
Running back down the line

Oh, I can't stand that screaming
Don't even try
Music fans some feelings
It'll be tell me why

I can't stop that feeling
Showing me why
Man I love that feeling
Yeah, blowin' me right through the sky

Oh hey hey hey hey hey hey
Oh, listen to what she says
If it's good, it's nice

No Prayer for the Dying (Live) (Harris)

There are times when I've wondered
And times when I've cried
When my prayers they were answered
At times when I've lied
But if you asked me a question
Would I tell you the truth
Now there's something to bet on
You've got nothing to lose

When I've sat by the window
And gazed at the rain
With an ache in my heart
But never feeling the pain
And if you would tell me
Just what my life means
Walking a long road
Never reaching the end

God give me the answer to my life
God give me the answer to my dreams
God give me the answer to my prayers
God give me the answer to my being

Public Enema Number One (Live) (Dickinson, Murray)

When it all comes down the line,
And the lights they turn to Greed
And you race off with your tires screaming
Rolling Thunder,
And the people choke with poison
Children cry in fear
But you've got your fast bullet,
One way ticket outta here

Fail on your knees today
And pray the world will mend its way
Get to your feet again
Refugees from the heartbreak and the pain

In the cities in the streets
There's a tension you can feel
Breaking strain is fast approaching
Guns and Riots
Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins
And the Press get fed the scapegoats
Public Enema number one

Fail on your knees today
And pray the world will mend its way
Get to your feet again
Refugees from the heartbreak and the pain

A million network slaves
In an Advertising new age
I don't need a crystal ball to sell ya
Your children have more brains
Than your drug infested remains
California dreaming as the Earth dies screaming

Fail on your knees today
And pray the world will mend its way
Get to your feet again
Refugees from the heartbreak and the pain

Hooks in You (Live) (Dickinson, Smith)

I got the keys to view at number 22
Behind my Green door there's nothing to see
Stone cold sober and sitting in silence, laid
Back and looking for sympathy
I like a girl who knows where she's bound
I don't like girls who've been hanging around

Hooks in you, hooks in me, hooks in the ceiling
For that well hung feeling
No big deal, no big sin, strung up on love I
Got the hooks screwed in

She's tied up she can't come to the phone,
You must have got your wires crossed cos she ain't home
Knock on wood - you know I like that sound
She never could keep her feet on the ground

Hooks in you, hooks in me, hooks in the ceiling
For that well hung feeling
No big deal, no big sin, strung up on love I
Got the hooks screwed in

Hooks in you, I've got those hooks in you
Hooks in you, in you

Right on the money got it wrapped up tight
New ideas for the decor tonight
Gonna make this house a preservation zone
Gonna set her in concrete set her up on her own

Hooks in you, hooks in me, hooks in the ceiling
For that well hung feeling
No big deal, no big sin, strung up on love I
Got the hooks screwed in
