Prowler
Steve HarrisWalking 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
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
Solo
Got me feeling myself and reeling a...
Got me talking but nothing's with 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
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

Sanctuary
Steve Harris, Paul Di'Anno, Dave MurrayOut of the winter came a war horse of steel
I've never killed a woman before but I know how it feels
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 'slinger last night to keep me alive
He spends all his money on gambling and guns to survive
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
Solo
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 in the plain
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

Remember Tomorrow
Steve Harris, Paul Di'AnnoUnchain the colours before my eyes,
Yesterday's sorrows tomorrow's 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
Solo
Unchain the colours before my eyes,
Yesterday's sorrows tomorrow's white lies
Scan the horizon the clouds take me higher,
I shall return from out of fire
Back to the top
Running Free
Steve Harris, Paul Di'AnnoJust sixteen a pickup 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, Oh I'm running free
Spent the night in an L. A. jail
and listened to the sirens wail
They ain't got a thing on me,
I'm running wild I'm running free
Chorus
Pulled her at the Bottle Top,
whisky dancing disco hop
Now all the boys are after me
and that's the way it's gonna be
Chorus
Back to the top
Phantom Of The Opera
Steve HarrisI'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
And you know and I know that you ain't got long now to last
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past
You're standing in the wings, there you wait for the curtain to fall
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all
Yeah I know that you're gonna scratch me and maim me and maul
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerizing cat call
Keep your distance walk away don't take his 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
Solo
I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're 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 it just floats through the air
Haunt me you taunt me you torture me back at your lair

Transylvania
Steve HarrisInstrumental
Back to the top
Strange World
Steve HarrisSolo
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
Solo
Stalks of light come from the ground,
When I cry there isn't a sound
All my feelings cannot be held,
I'm happy in my new strange world
Shades of green grasses twine,
Girls drinking plasma wine
A look at love, a dream unfolds,
Living here you'll never grow old
Don't you hear me call? Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Back to the top
Charlotte The Harlot
Dave MurrayGiving 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 the 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 it's only for starters and ten for the main course
And 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
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
There was a time when you left me standing there, picking up pieces of love off 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 draws are off color too, 'cause you're making love all day
Solo
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 the laughter?
Chorus

Iron Maiden
Steve HarrisWon't you come into my room, I wanna 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
Chorus: 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
Won't you come into my room, I wanna 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
Chorus
