Fire lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Always let you down, always fooled around
Always stealing your own way
Life just seems too short, life lived in the dirt
Kicked in the teeth is what you meant to say

Fighting battles never fired a shot

Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more

Living on the edge
A blind man kneels on broken glass
Building the bars of his own cage
Running circles till you drop
Hating life until it stops
Kicked in the teeth is what you meant to say

Fighting battles never fired a shot

Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more

Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for...more

Running circles till you drop
Hating life until it stops
Kicked in the teeth is what you meant to say

Fighting battles never fired a shot

Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more

Sacred Cowboys lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

With a sense of irony everyone you see is chasing their illusions
Take a dive or sink or swim, but in the end you're in the same pollution
In your world escape is swift, the nonsense list is all you need to know
In the land of dreams, you make the right connections, then you'll be the hero
Ecstasy, the cult of me provides our institutions
You can live forever with a grave that stands where people used to function
You can join the saviours of our culture, vultures circling overhead my sky
Like the sin of gluttony won't set you free, but Betty Ford can help you try

You can get all the things you never needed
You can sell people crap and make them eat it

But where is our John Wayne
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the indians on the hill?
There's no indians left to kill

People die with oxygen and all their money can't afford a breath
People starving everywhere and staring in the face of death
Prostitutes and politicians laying in their beds together
You can be the saviour of the poor making up the policies to open up the back door...

You can get all the things you never needed
You can sell people crap and make them eat it

Where is our John Wayne
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the indians on the hill?
There's no indians left to kill

Where is our John Wayne
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the indians on the hill?
There's no indians left to kill

You can get all the things you never needed
You can sell people crap and make them eat it...eat it!

Where is our John Wayne
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the indians on the hill?
There's no indians left to kill

Where is our John Wayne
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the indians on the hill?
There's no indians left to...kill...

Tears Of The Dragon lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

For too long now, there were secrets in my mind
For too long now, there were things I should have said
In the darkness, I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason, to find the time, the place, the hour
Waiting for the winter sun and the cold light of day

The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building and I can't stay away.

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave
Let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon for you and for me

Where I was, I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was, I had tears I couldn't cry
My emotions, frozen in an iced lake
I couldn't feel them until the ice began to break
I have no power over this, you know I'm afraid
The walls I built are crumbling, the water is moving,
I'm slipping away...

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon for you and for me

Slowly I awake, slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling,
The water is moving,
I'm slipping away.

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon for you and for me

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon for you and for me

Fire Child lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

From the golden brow of a morning hill
The shadows rise in the early still
The earth is cracked and the dust is cold
The embers glow and the fire is old

Mountains in the sky, lightning cracks the night
Shivering in the cold till the morning light
I know this time around, I'm travelling on holy ground
I've robbed the ghosts, I've heard the sound

So I ride on into the sun
with the shadows of the deeds that were done
I can't imagine what it was to be alive
The magic is still in the hills

Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow

Riding on the wind, burning through your heart
The parliament indian mission slowly rips apart
Promises made, then willows laid
And the world was thrown from the barrel of a gun

So I ride on into the sun
with the shadows of the deeds that were done
I can't imagine what it was to be alive
The magic is still in the hills

Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow

So I ride on into the sun
with the shadows of the deeds that were done
I can't imagine what it was to be alive
The magic is still in the hills

The magic is still in the hills
The magic is still in the hills
The magic is still in the hills
The magic is still in the hills

Elvis Has Left The Building lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

They realize that misery forms the basis of our own immortal frankensteins...
As I said to my wife, oh, just the other day [?] we live our lives in dreamstates
And what you call real is just somebody else's dreams
Elvis Has Left The Building
The toast is burning in the kitchen

Whether your life is set is not an option now
I am feeling extremely unwell, something very strange is going on
Oh well, the other day I spoke to my wife
[?]
Clear the streets, evacuate the cities! Do not drink the water!
Elvis Has Left the Building

Things aren't too different to belong together
All things... are... a... part
Elvis Has Left the Building
I am feeling extremely unwell
Well, the other day I spoke to my wife
The toast is burning in the kitchen
Something very strange is going on

Elvis has left the building...

The Breeding House lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

The breeding house stood at 731, he was just a working man
And he worked with his hands and prisoners
He set a judgement on his fellow man
Secret science was his game, justified by war
His spawn lay in the freezer
The killers that bore his name

The breeding house, you were there
And the sins of your fathers, In the breeding house
The breeding house, 731
And the sins of your fathers are the sins of your sons

Maybe within childhood he pulled off spiders legs
Now he's a big boy playing with big boys toys
Playing games he won't forget
A contract for some research, a paycheque in the mail
Their secret death defended by the ones that should have ended it

Angels of death in your white coats, so serene
devicing ways of dying, so obscene, so obscene
While Washington was bluffing about knickers and G-strings
their men were busy hiding evil things, evil things

The breeding house, you were there
And the sins of your fathers, In the breeding house
The breeding house, 731
And the sins of your fathers are the sins of your sons

Come to see the carnival, come to witness fear
Come and see deformity, all human life is here
A double-blind experiment on who's the last to die
A fifty year conspiracy of murders and of lies

Angels of death in your white coats, so serene
devicing ways of dying, so obscene, so obscene
While Washington was bluffing about knickers and G-strings
their men were busy hiding evil things, evil things

The breeding house, you were there
And the sins of your fathers, In the breeding house
The breeding house, 731
And the sins of your fathers are the sins of your sons

No Way Out... To Be Continued lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Welcome to the world, young man
Welcome to the world that I have planned for you
It's all come true
Welcome to the city's gates,
camps of concentration for the poor
But not at my door

Welcome to the searchlights and the TV eyes
Watching you, watching me

Welcome to you new apartment, welcome to your block of fear
You're welcome here

Go away!

Locked inside a concrete cage with those cameras for my eyes
Outside are the population, the corpses and the flies

Got to keep my carpets clean,
you know there's mites and rats and mites and
things living in a shagpile
Fear of death is my recipe for life and I'm
locked in and I like it that way

I see no way out of here
There is no way out of here
I see no way out of here

Here I sit at my windowbox, I put flowers on the rocks for you
I don't put water on the cracks
because you know what cracks can do
Gotta keep myself secure, you know there's
emotions, feelings, killer bugs live in a shagpile

Fear of death is the guarantee of safety and I'm
locked in and I like it that way

I see no way out of here
There is no way out of here
I see no way out of here

No way out!

Flowers in the window box are blooming
I pour water on the rocks so they won't die
The pattern on the carpet shows I'm human
I don't step on the foolish cracks, so I won't fry

The sky is blue, the weather seems appealing
I lay my hand upon the armoured glass
No more blood, I think my wound is healing
Should I open it up, give it a try?

Welcome to the world, young man
Welcome to the world that I have planned for you
It's all come true
Welcome to the city's gates,
camps of concentration for the poor
But not at your door

Welcome to the searchlights and the TV-eyes
Watching me, watching you, watching me

I see no way out of here
There is no way out of here
I see no way out of here

Over And Out lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

You were too weird
You were too weird
You were too weird for your own skin, baby
You were too weird for your own piece of mind

Took a stab at the sky without a high wire
Took a touch-tone ride, but I couldn't come clean
Come clean

You were too weird
You were too weird
You were too weird to be flying by night
I shot for the moon but you turned of the light

Took a stab at the sky without a high wire
Took a touch-tone ride in the stars

I've been laughing all my life and waiting for a smile
Over and out, Over and out
She threw me over and out

You were too weird
You were too weird
Candles and curtains to cover the guilt
You were too pale for the light
Took a step in the sky without a high wire
Took a touch tone ride in the stars

I've been laughing all my life and waiting for a smile
Strung out hanging by the phone waiting for a line
Over and out, Over and out
She'd do me over and out

Yeah, I'd dance at you in the stars, yeah
Over and out
You were too weird
But I couldn't come clean
You were too weird
Over and out
You were too weird
You were too weird
But I couldn't come clean
Over and over and out
Over and out

The Post Alternative Seattle Fall Out lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Time travel...
Voyage of the chosen few...
Not yet, but maybe soon...

In the post alternative Seattle fallout
Worms will fly and pigs will shout
Does a worm have a brain, well you'd better find out
Slice it in half and suck the offending part out

If you can't see the roof there must be a ceiling
If you can't find the door you must be locked in
Cover your faces cover your vest
Cover your ears east and west

Where do you wanna go?
I know where you wanna go
I don't want you to save me

Where do you wanna go?
I know where you wanna go
I don't want you to save me

There's something about a nozzle I like
Maybe the way they wave at you expectantly in the summer heat
Mmmm...
Yellow lines on policemen...
Dry?

In the post alternative Seattle fallout
How would ya know how would you find out?
How can you see the wood for the trees?
Trying to find a species to rhyme with the birds and bees
When the world is run by things that squirt ...and it is
Better watch the skies for holy dirt
Go home on the bus and have your tea
Come have a vulture meal with me

Where do you wanna go?
I know where you wanna go
I don't want you to save me

Where do you wanna go?
I know where you wanna go
I don't want you to save me

Everything is very strange in here

Time travel
Voyage of the chosen few
Not yet... but maybe soon

Tibet lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Hello again

Hello, I'm here again
and who am I this time?
I've got ideas, ways to be
I'm coming back seriously

Through gold and black, to read and warm
I'm pushing flow
I'm blind in light, hello again
Here I am for you

Cadillac Gas Mask lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

I saw the girl drive a cab limousine
In a little black gun, unleaded fun
She thinks she's a movie queen
Steel wheels, steel rails move to the [?] beat
You've got lead in your pants, lead in your teeth
Get out of your cars, take a walk on the street

Cadillac gas mask
Cadillac mask, you guy's, gimme, gimme
Cadillac gas mask
Cadillac, Cadillac gas mask

Cadillac mask!

Red light, green light,
girls are letting gas as you're going nowhere
Gridlock, wheel lock, handing lock, break block
stuck on your wheels again
There was a time when the air was sweet and pure
Now you're sitting in my back yard smoking up the air
Pedal to the metal but you're getting nowhere

Cadillac gas mask
Cadillac mask, you guy's, gimme, gimme
Cadillac gas mask
Cadillac, Cadillac gas mask

Cadillac mask!

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Cadillac gas mask
Cadillac mask, you guy's, gimme, gimme
Cadillac gas mask
Cadillac, Cadillac gas mask

Cadillac gas mask
Cadillac mask, you guy's, gimme, gimme
Cadillac gas mask
Cadillac, Cadillac gas mask
Cadillac gas mask
Cadillac mask, you've got...

No Way Out... Continued lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

A silent sleeping vampire, arisen from his grave
As I am still quiet in the dark
The only sign of breathing, a flicker on my skin
The only sign of life, my beating heart

What does it take to open my eyes?
What does it take to register surprise?
What does it take to feel joy?
What does it take to feel pain?

Floors creep but doors are still
I've read all the books about being ill
I know the truth, the truth knows I'm right
One day you'll fear me in the night

[Chorus:]
A drowning mind sees daylight, coming up for air
I've been working hard for this
All my life and I like it this way

I know they're staking out my house
That's why I'm quiet like a mouse
I don't know love but I know what's right
I feel my sickness every night

My TV fills my world with light
Twenty-four hours of second sight
I talk to God on my station
He gives me secret information

[Chorus]

Mother suffocate me
Mother suffocate me
There's no way out of here
It's tearing me apart
There's no way out of here
There's no way out of here
Mother suffocate me
There's no way out of here
There's no way out of here
No, no, no way out of here

"Tattooed Millionaire" (1990)

Son Of A Gun lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Holy was the preacher.
Riding on his rig of steel in the rising sun.
This was no grim reaper.
But a man with a smile who took a pride in a job well done.
Ohh in a blood red sunrise.
He's preaching conversion as you lay down and die.

Just a god given holy roller.
In a god forsaken land.
He didn't choose this killing ground.
He didn't want this scrap of land.
You've got to scorch the earth, yeah.
and make the rivers run dry.
Untill we learn to hate like him.
Kill for killin'. Live to die.

[Chorus:]
Ride on you son of a gun. Ride on. Ride into the setting sun.

You've gotta be a hero, for one last time.
To prove through your destruction.
That killing is a great way of life.
There's a wooden cross somewhere.
Where they'll bury you down deep.
You lie to your people, You lie to yourself.
Your in love with death babe.
You've got no shame.

[Chorus]

The preacher laughed. The preacher cried.
He loaded bullets as he smiled.
Congregation sat and wondered.
Would they live or would they die.
Just an ordinary man, with his orders and his plans.
In the shadows of a cross.
Oh in a blood red sunrise.
Take me to jesus, with judas my guide.

[Chorus]

Ride on your bleeding heart.
Ride on you play no part.
Ride on you feel no pity.
Ride on you feel no pain.
Ride into history.

Tattooed Millionaire lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Tattooed boys with expensive toys.
Living in a bubble of sin.
Money can buy you most of anything.
Fix your nose or the mess your in.
Front page news you can share your views.
With a population that wants to be like you.
Out on the strip. Out on the tiles.
Same old greed behind the PR smiles.

You and all your entourage. To me your all the same.
You and all your entourage. Playing foolish games.

[Chorus:]
I don't want your big city shining.
I don't want your silver lining.
I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire.

He's got a wife, she ain't no brain child.
EX mud queen of Miami.
In his stretch cadillac, he keeps her in the back.
With his CD player and his bottle of Jack.
LA dude. LA Attitude. Laid back, selfish and getting fat.
Body gaurds, Porn Stars, Gold credit cards.
Using each other. Running for cover.

[Chorus]

Born In '58 lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Born in a mining town in '58.
When black and white TV was up to date.
And men where still around.
Who fought for freedom. Stood their ground and died.
That I could be alive and see the damage,
that we've managed since.
In this septred isle. Is nothing sacred.
Just a one square mile.

[Chorus:]
Justice and Liberty. You can buy what you don't get free.
In a world of steel and glass. We bury our past.

On and On. We slept till dawn. When we awoke, we hardly spoke.

My grandfather taught me how to fight.
Old fashioned stuff like wrong and right.
But all around I see his morals buried in a mess
Of money troubles, Born in a mining town in '58.
When black and white TV was up to date.
And men where still around.
Who fought for freedom, stood their ground and died.

[Chorus]

On and On. We slept till dawn.
When we awoke, it was, all the same.

Hell On Wheels lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Devil's driving down the track.
Hell on wheels and it won't turn back.
Engine racing down a one way street.
Speed wheel chasing in a red line heat.
Into the blackness. Into the night.
Out of the tunnel. Into the light.
Red for danger. That's just for show.
Climb aboard. Come as you go.

[Chorus:]
Hard to steer when the devil's driving.
Helens wheels and the brake's won't hold.
Hard to steer when the devil's driving.
Hell on wheels and the brake's won't hold.

Too smart to come she just arrived.
Only gave her one but she's using five.
Minutes of time in the usual place.
If I was strapped in you could sit on my place. (face)
The door's were locked. The windows sealed.
Hitting me with the jack was the devil's deal.
Blue light flashing as the lipstick smudge.
Diving for cover in a tunnel of glove.

[Chorus]

Something's driving me. I don't know where.
Something down in my cellar somewhere.
Noone waiting for me down the line.
Noone waiting for me this time.

[Chorus]

Knuckle Down, Stick Shift, Take it slow.
Easy come means easy go.
Lay off the gas, make it last.
Cuz under my hood she's blowin' fast.
Into the blackness. Into the night.
Out of the tunnel. Into the light.
Red for danger that's just for show.
Climb aboard. Come as you go.

[Chorus]

Gypsy Road lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Living in the city can be a cold and lonely place to be.
Living in the shadows where there is no sun there is no breeze.
Drinking stale water, having to pay for the privilege.
Talk about your freedom. I'll take you where I think it is.

[Chorus:]
Gypsy road. Is the highway that I run to.
Gypsy road. Welcome to your dreams.
Oh oh oh, Gypsy road.

Living by my own rules. A rebel yell and a rebel creed.
Keep your life simple. Try not to take what you don't need.
Think about your freedom. Dream a little every day.
Suddenly you'll find yourself there.
Follow me. Walk this way.

[Chorus]

I'll find my dreams. You find yours too.

Dive! Dive! Dive! lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Put and opening shot. Across your bows.
Got tunnel vision. Pull the sheets in now.
Let'em flap. Let'em rip.
This man of war gonna sink your ship.
Gonna blow you midships.
Gonna dive tonight.
There's no release when your deep down inside.

Davey Jones gonna keep your bones.
No monkey buisness. Now your on your own.
Turn your stern and cover me.
We're rolling swell. Just an old sea dog like me.
Gonna blow you midships.
Gonna dive tonight.
There's no release till your deep down inside.

[Chorus:]
Dive! Dive! Dive!
Dive! Dive! Dive!
Dive! Dive! Dive!
No muff too tuff.
We dive at five.

Seamen Staines is down below.
Torpedoes loaded. He's ready to go.
Wait to discharge. Waiting to release.
I see where the bones came up from below.
Gonna blow you midships.
Gonna dive tonight.
There's no release till your deep down inside.

[Chorus]

All The Young Dudes lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Well billy rapped all night about his suicide.
Said he could kick it in the head when he was 25.
Speed jive. Don't wanna stay alive when your 25.
And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks And Sparks.
And Freddie's got spots from ripping of the stars.
From his face. Funky little boat race.
The television man is crazy.
Saying we're juvenile delequent wrecks.
I need TV when I got T-Rex?
Oh brother you guessed I'm a dude now.

[Chorus:]
All the young dudes. Carry the news.
Bugaloo dudes. Carry the news.

Well Billy's looking sweat cuz he dresses like a queen.
But he can kick like a mule it's a real mean team.
But we can love. Ahh yes. We can love.
And my father's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones.
He never got it off with that revolution stuff.
What a drag. Too many snags.
Well I drunk alot of wine and I'm feeling fine.
I'm gonna raise some kind of bet.
Oh man, is this concrete all around or is it in my head.
Brother, I'm a dude now.

[Chorus]

Lickin' The Gun lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Lickin' the gun lickin' the hand that feeds you.
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun.
Lickin' the gun lickin' the hand that feeds you.
Lickin' the fun finger lickin' fun.

Senator husband going for broke.
I've gotta prove I'm not a joke.
We smoked the stuff in '69.
Now it's different. It's a crime.
Kid's today don't understand. Kid's today need a guiding hand.
Put a sticker if it rymes with truck.
When the law should slide, guess I'll duck.

[Chorus:]
Watch religion come and go. Watch corruption on their shows.
Buy your silence, Money for blood.
Out of the ark and into the flood.
Crasy men with russian guns. My words never killed anyone.
Kissing Baby's. Lickin' the gun.
Ain't political. Just having fun.

[Chorus]

Eat it up lay down and die. They'll shoot you up.
And they don't know why.
Their doing a job and they enjoy it too.
Their protecting us from me and you.
We smoked the stuff in '69.
Now it's different. It's a crime.
I don't care to wait and see.
If I'm cool enough to make history.

[Chorus]

Zulu Lulu lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

She fixed me in the corner with that beautiful brown eye.
She said I'd like to meet you I was so surprised.
Well, what can I do for you. What can you do for me.
We made for the exit had to wait and see.
I hope I'm not wasting your precious time.
I no your not wasting mine.
We came together over coffee with milk.
She never stopped till every drop was spilled.

[Chorus:]
She was a zulu lulu.
Broke my back and my heart at the same time.
It was nice.
Just a zulu lulu.
I had to move on when I came back she'd gone.

She dropped to her knees. I guess she had religion.
She lived with her mother. Had been a good girl twice.
When I asked her to comment on her present position.
She said she'd like to take a late preachers advise.
I ain't looking for sympathy.
But prayers for the wicked are kinda nice.
She said I don't like to preach to the converted.
I said you could be a good girl more than twice.
Like this.

[Chorus]

I ain't looking for sympathy.
But prayers for the wicked are kinda nice.
She looked me up and down and said Assiagod for me.
I began to see god. She said, wait and see babe.
Wait. Wait. I'm coming.

[Chorus]

No Lies lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

[Chorus:]
No lies. No angels. No heaven. oh.oh.oh.oh.
No lies. No angels. No heaven. oh.oh.oh.oh.
No lies. No angels. No heaven. oh.oh.oh.oh.

Waiting on a corner on a red light street.
Were the dealers and the junkies and the graveyards meet.
By the light of a street light moon.
If you hang around here Babe your leaving soon.
On the run from the country from the law.
Well, here's a safe place behind every front door.
Wanna wonder where the guidebook doesn't go.
Watching the windows. Part of the side show.

[Chorus]

Where the money men's wallets bleed.
Where the fat cat sinners go for his needs.
Where the vicor goes for his sins.
Where the stick up artists get stuck in.
Look around here it's no big deal.
For an ounce of pleasure or a five minute feel.
Riding side sattle on a rented machine.
Hang on loosely. Part of the scene.

[Chorus]

Spirit Of Joy lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

(originally by Arthur Brown)

I've watched the open line, I'd swing the sun up in the sky
I threw down the screens and opened up the door
The sun came streaming in and it shone out through your eyes
As you laughed and threw your gospel on the floor, cry

Hey, spirit of joy
Oh, you make this fool feel so wise
Hey, spirit of joy
Feels so good, you came into my life

But your mind is where your mouth is and I'll tell the truth today
I see you're the one that I've been waiting for
You've not been 'round this way already, so now my time has come
And now I see just what I'm looking for, cry

Hey, spirit of joy
Well, you make this fool feel so wise
Hey, spirit of joy
Feels so good since you came into my life

Hey, spirit of joy
Feel the daylight break into a day
Hey, spirit of joy
Love

Hey, spirit of joy
Love
Hey, spirit of joy
Love

Hey, spirit of joy
Love's comin', come on
Hey, spirit of joy
Feel it comin', yeah, yeah

Hey, spirit of joy

Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter (Original Soundtrack Version) lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Honey its getting close to midnight
And all the myths are still in town
True love and lipstick on your linen
Bite the pillow make no sound

If there's some living to be done
Before your life becomes your tomb
You'd better know that I'm the one
Unchain your back door invite me around

[Chorus:]
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
let her go, let her go, let her go
[x2]

Honey its getting close to daybreak
The sun is creeping in the sky
No patent remedies for heartache
Just empty words and humble pie

So get down on your knees honey
Assume an attitude
You just pray that I'll be waiting
Cos you know I'm coming soon

[Chorus]

So pick up your foolish pride
No going back, no where, no way, no place to hide
Let her go

Bring your daughter, bring your daughter
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Bring your daughter, fetch your daughter
Bring your daughter, fetch your daughter
Bring your daughter, fetch your daughter to the slaughter

[Chorus x2]

Let her go [x4]

Ballad Of Mutt lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Before I met my baby, there was a whole lot going on
Yea, before I met my baby, there was a whole lot going on
I used to wag my tail in every corner, never hesitate to give that bitch a bone

Before I met my baby didn't have a clue
Before I met my baby I didn't know what I should do
Before I met my baby this misguided mutt made dog meat out of you and everybody else

She went to see my kennel, she said "It's like a rabbit hutch"
She went to see my kennel, she said "It smells too much"
She wouldn't wag her tail or nothing at all until the furniture-man called
He said take it away, oh yeah, go on, let's guitar

One time, baby, I took her for a walk
Two timing bitch, I tried to squash her under a truck
Three time looser, this ain't no game
Five hand shuffle driving me insane
I can't get it when I want it, when I call her she don't answer to her name

We settle down into a laugh of bliss or so it seemed
I adjusted to the endless wine and foodmixes end her talking to me
It was hell, I tell you
And when I dug my bone up, she threw my bone right back at me!

Some...
There's some harmonica? In the ball?

I finished with that bitch, he'd left her tied up to a tree
She had a note around her neck saying, "Take this one, she's free"
Before I met my baby my life was misery
Before I met my baby my life was misery

Winds Of Change lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Think that it's all over and you want your ragged mile
The winds of change are blowing all around
Stop and look, you're not the only one on the road out in the night
Take some time to find a partner, it does take
Winds of change roll over us
Winds of change roll over us
Winds of change roll over us
Winds of change don't change us at all
In a world of desperation where we struggle to be free
There's a truth and inspiration to break the chains of you and me
Looking round we have our visions of what is and what could be
Let it loose imagination, make your own reality
Winds of change roll over us
Winds of change roll over us
Winds of change roll over us
Winds of change don't change us at all
I think I wanna spend my life with you
I think, if we can make it, we can get through
I feel I've known you before, I think you know what I mean
I think I wanna spend my life with you
Winds of change roll over us
Winds of change roll over us
Winds of change roll over us
Winds of change don't change us at all
Winds of change roll over us
Winds of change roll over us
Winds of change roll over us
Winds of change don't change us at all

Darkness Be My Friend lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Cold sunlight falling on me
Cold sunlight falling on me
I am a lonely man, sorrow is my friend
Fall asleep as the dawn comes up, a ray of hope again

Hold a crystal vision, for a second, let it pass
Hold a crystal vision, for a moment making last
Summers so quickly gone, darkness be my friend
Nothing lasts forever, but the certainty of change

I am a lonely man, sorrow is my friend
Nothing lasts forever, but the certainty of change

Sin City lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

(originally by AC/DC)

Diamonds and dust
Poor man last, rich man first
Lamborghinis, caviar
Dry martinis, Shangri-la
I got a burnin' feelin'
Deep inside of me
It's a-yearning
But, I'm gonna to set it free

I'm goin' in to Sin City
I'm gonna win in Sin City
Where the lights are bright
Do the town tonight
I'm gonna win in Sin City

Oh, I'm gonna roll you, baby
Snake eyes, wouw

Ladders and snakes
Ladders give, snakes take
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Ain't got a hope in hell, that's my belief

Fingers Freddy, Diamond Jim
They're gettin' ready, look out, I'm comin' in
So, spin that wheel, cut that pack
And roll those loaded dice
Bring on the dancing girls
And put the champaign on ice

I'm goin' in to Sin City
I'm gonna win in Sin City
Where the lights are bright
Do the town tonight
I'm goin' in to Sin City

Riding With The Angels lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

(originally by Russ Ballard)

Katie was a kid, I guess she hid her thoughts from everyone
Went to school at eight, she was never late
Didn't know the meaning of fun
Every night Katie prayed to God above
But her daddy gave her everything but love

She woke up one day, said: "I'm on my way"
Her mummy read the letter, It did say:
"I'm on my way, I'm on my way"

Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels
She's having fun, fun, fun
She's having fun, fun, fun

Rode around and every boy in town tried to win her back
It was no go, cause she rode with Joe, he was the leader of the pack
People ran for cover when they rolled to town
The night was black, rain on the ground

Engines scream, running too fast
They knew the ride would be there last
They're on their way, on their way

Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels
She's having fun, fun, fun
She's having fun, fun, fun

Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels
She's having fun, fun, fun
She's having fun, fun, fun

Riding with the angels
She's having fun, fun, fun
She's having fun, fun, fun

Black Night lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

(originally by Deep Purple)

Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

Black night, black night
I don't need black night
I can't see dark night
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

Acoustic Song lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

We live and die like all the rest
Every summer has its sunset every year
Love and hope put to the test
Every grain of comfort holds the seed of fear

And I loved you long ago
And I love you still
But the roads that we have travelled took us far apart
Scattered to the four winds
Someday we will find the time to heal

And I loved you long ago

And the scars that bear my name
are the wounds that never heal
But the road that we have travelled took us far apart
And I love you still

And I loved you long ago

Bed Of Nails lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

And here, my prize, the Black Widow.
Isn't she lovely? And so deadly.
Her kiss is fifteen times more poisonous than the rattlesnake.
And you see her venom is highly neurotoxic
Which is to say that it attacks the central nervous system
Causing intense pain
Profuse sweating
Difficulty in breathing
Loss of consciousness
Violent convulsions
And finally death.
You know what I think I love the most about her
Is her inborn need to dominate and possess.
Such power and dignity, unhampered by sentiment.
If I may put forward a slice of personal philosophy
I feel that man has ruled this world as a stumbling dimented child-king long enough!
And as his empire crumbles, my precious Black Widow shall rise as his most fitting successor!

These words he speaks are true
We're all humanary stew
If we don't pledge allegiance to
The Black Widow

The horror that he'll brings
The horror of his sting
The unholiest of kings
The Black Widow

Our minds will be destroyed
And every girl and boy
Will learn to be employed
The Black Widow

Love me
Yes we love me
Love him
Yes we love him
Love me
Yes we love him, oh

He sits upon his throne
And picks at all the bones
Of his husbands and his wives
He's devoured
He stares with a gleam
With a laugh so obscene
And the children and the virgins
He's deflowered

Love me
Yes we love me
Love him
Yes we love him
Love me
Yes we love him, oh

Our thoughts are hot and crazed
Our dreams are webbed in haze
Mindless, senseless daze
The Black Widow

These words he speaks are true
We're all humanary stew
If we don't pledge allegiance to
Ha-ha-ha, the Black Widow

The Black Widow
Sets free, oh, the children to me

Broken lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

I will not be pushed
I will not be stamped defiled
I will not be crushed
I am not your only child

I am not a freak
object of your own desire
I am not ashamed
I am not an alibi

[Chorus 1:]
I stand alone, now I can see
You won't bring me down
For all this pain and misery
I'm not broken

Crushed, crushed

I am not a pawn
This is not a game of chess
I am not a pin stuck into your shiny vest
I am not a slave
I will do what I do best
Walking out on you
Take my life and leave the rest

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2:]
All the hatred can't you see
You won't bring me down
All your lies have set me free
I'm not broken

[Chorus 1 & Chorus 2]

I'm not broken [x3]

Dracula lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Waiting for the midnight hour [x6]

[Chorus:]
My name is
Dracula, Come here, I've something for you
Dracula, I need a little life
Dracula, And you are gonna be my wife

Walking through the town when the streets are bare in the night
Shadows everywhere, are you sure it's a trick of the light?
Fear is at your heal but you kick it away,
you're so sure there's nothing behind you
That's a mistake you can make just one time

I bet you thought that I was a ficticous guy from the movie screen
Now its far too late for you to break this date, you missed your chance to scream
My only sense of humor's in a jugular vein
and your neck is on the menu tonight
Soon you will know what it's like to be mine

[Chorus]

As long as you live
The Bride of Dracula
[x3]

As long as you live you'll be
Waiting, waiting for the midnight hour [x8]

Ghost Of Cain lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

In your hour of darkness be not afraid
As the moonlight shivers on your grave
Come back to find you here
Save you from the danger
Come back to lead you home
From the hooded stranger

Conjuring the ghost of Cain
He won't let you fall again
Return your soul to sleep again
By conjuring the ghost of Cain

Cross a cork with silver, won't save you now
You must pay the ferry man, pay him somehow
There's only one place left
To take you across the river
You'll never know who saved you
The angel who delivered

Conjuring the ghost of Cain
He won't let you fall again
Return your soul to sleep again
By conjuring the ghost of Cain

A streamer from the sun
Fire round your heart
The earth gives up its dead
The brothers are apart

Conjuring the ghost of Cain
He won't let you fall again
Return your soul to sleep again
By conjuring the ghost of Cain

Conjuring the ghost of Cain
He won't let you fall again
Return your soul to sleep again
By conjuring the ghost of Cain

Midnight Jam lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

"Recording all of the above and some of the below"

Love is over like it never began
Flicker of life, the candle in his hand
Watch the fairy tale unfold, unwind
For this prize he travelled in his mind

Who is guilty, who decides
Who took her life, who gained a prize
Love is cheap, life's a lie
What kind of man would do this to his friend

Hand caressed, squeezed her life away
Slide into the darkness, the end of the day
Swallowed with the black, cover the light
To the fire, to the night

Love is over like it never began
Flicker of life, the candle in his hand
The queen is dying, dying and loved

Watch the fairy tale unfold, unwind, unravel
Now with his prize he'd slide into the forest beyond

You're alone, alone...forever
Alone forever
Alone forever
He's gonna be alone forever
Alone forever

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

(originally by Black Sabbath)

You see life through distorted eyes
You know you have to learn
The execution of your mind
You really have to turn
The race is run, the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
And you don't to know

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lieeeeeeeeeesssssss

The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see
Again the light of day

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lieeeeeeeeeesssssss
You bastards!

Where can you run to?
What more can you do?
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to Hell
Burned out confusion
Nothing more to tell, yeah

Everything around you
What's it coming to?
God knows as your dog knows
Bog blast all of you
Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
Dying just for you, yeah

Silver Wings lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

Sound of merlins fired up and their spoiling for the fight
1000 bombers ready, it's the target for tonight
Deeper into Germany, but we all know the score
I know that I'm not coming back like those that did before

Now the flare gun fires and we get the go
Say goodbye to the earth below

[Chorus:]
Tonight, on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
on silver wings
Flying where no angels fly

I have brought these engines to the very jaws of hell
Melat hearts are beating through this hail of shot and shell
Terror from the skies where the angels fear to tread
Nothing in my eyes, I am the living dead

Now the searchlight blinding us with its light
Can't shake this one off tonight

[Chorus]

The sky is bleeding gasoline and fuel is running low
Tanks are blown to pieces soon the wing is going to go
All the crew have bailed out over Essen long ago
But every night since 45 this bomber boy has stayed alive

I can't believe she's still in the sky
Me and my merlins fly

[Chorus]

on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
on silver wings
I can touch the face of God

The Zoo lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

(originally by Scorpions)

The job is done and I go out
Another boring day
I leave it all behind me now
So many worlds away

I meet my girl, she's dressed to kill
And all we gonna do
Is walk around to catch the thrill
On streets we call the zoo

We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo

We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo

Enjoy the zoo, and walk down
42nd Street
You gonna be excited too
And you will feel the heat

We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo

We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo

Wicker Man lyrics - Bruce Dickenson

When the dying western sun dips low
And the raincloud rises in the east
Between the lines of truth and the words of faith
Lie the fiery duties of the be priest

Stir the blood of ancient things
Drawing down the moon

From the hill of Tarna see the beltane fires
And the silent Celtic kings await
From the midnight hour to the light of dawn
Feel the mountain tremble and your heart will shake

Stir the memories of the stones
We are drawing down the moon
In the circle of the old ways
Of the wicker man...

Wicker man, wicker man
From the beacon hill,
cast your fire on this land
Wicker man, wicker man
From the beacon hill,
throw your ashes in our hands

Let the pendulum go
Let it sway away
Let the chimes ring out
On this solstice day

When the earth renews
When the seed reveals
When we are reborn
Every waking dream

When the earth renews itself
When the seed reveals itself
[x2]

When we are reborn
In every waking dream
Every tree and leaf
Every frozen stream

Wicker man
When the earth renews itself
Wicker man
When the seed reveals itself
Wicker man
When we are reborn
Wicker man
In every waking dream
Wicker man
Every tree and leaf
Wicker man
Every frozen stream
[x2]
