Iron Maiden

Letra

    Are we off?
    Yeah!
    Two-one, two-two, th—

    Er, three

    Bruce (putting on rod smallwood's yorkshire accent)
    I don't know what's this bloody track's doing there
    What's this bloody track?
    What are these bloody knobs?
    What is? What are you doing here?

    What about doing all this bloody music?
    Stop that!
    Stop that (Nicko)!
    Bloody hell!
    I've had this!

    What about the bloody (deadline) a—
    Pissing about in the bloody studio all the time!
    I mean, I'm bloody sat here working my fingers to the bone
    Trying to get this bloody album out at the top of the bloody artwork

    And steve wants some bloody blobby tattoo
    On his bloody willie to draw the bloody head in
    What the bloody hell do they think I am?
    I've bloody got to walk into the bloody Emi, capitol

    And the biggest bloody record companies
    In the bloody world and say
    Look here's a bloody picture of a bloody Eddie
    With a bloke and his fucking dick!
    What the bloody hell do you all think they're gonna make of that?

    Why can't they write songs about proper things like cricket?
    Aaargh, God!
    Boycott! There was a man!
    There was a man!

    They're writing bloody stupid songs these day
    You know what I mean?
    Gremlins 2: The Ghoulies, the bloody great film, you know
    If I'd wanted, I'd wanted the band to be bloody in it
    Well, they'd be bloody in it and all this, you know, bloody stupid

    Bloody blood everywhere, it's brilliant!
    Bloody hell, where's the bloody cricket?
    I know it's Christmas!
    It shouldn't make any fucking difference, should it
    They should be putting cricket on

    Speaking of Christmas, I invited some bastard round at Christmas
    He ain't paid me for bloody turkey yet
    What did he have?
    Two-thirds of a breast and half a thigh
    That'll be five pounds sixty-three pence

    What a cunt, there's some bloody arseholes around these days
    You never know they stab you in the back as soon as look at you

    Nicko! Nicko!
    Nicko, stop wearing that bloody jacket and those [?]
    You look bloody pregnant, lad
    Ooh, no, don't give me that stupid look
    How many bloody change have you got?

    Never mind how many change I've got
    How many bloody change have you got?
    Ooh, couldn't you dress appropriately on a golf course, Nicko
    Noo! You don't wear

    You wouldn't come onto a bloody golf course
    Or a bloody drumkit wearing a bloody
    A bloody silk bloody satin bloody whatever the bloody hell it is
    Would you?

    Well, I don't care if you're a pop star
    You're booga-bloody-bug? Bloody golf course now
    You're bleeding embarrassing me
    You're embarrassing me

    You come with a bloody jacket and tie next time, I tell you
    Now, shut up 'cause I'm going to adjust
    No, I'm not gonna bloody adjust you anymore
    I'm gonna adjust the ball

    Right, I'm adjusting the ball
    I'm standing here right now, ok
    (Mumbles something unintelligible)
    Where's the bloody ball?

    Alright, letcha move that here, wait, right
    See it now, I'll pick up the driver
    Fault! Fault!
    Get out of the bloody way, you stupid!

    Get out of the way, you stupid arseholes! Get out!
    I'm bloody going to play the—
    I'm bloody going to play the ball!
    Fucking f
    I'll hit them on the bloody head never mind

    Right, here we go, right
    Whoo, bastard!
    Bollocks off! Fucking hell!
    Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

    It's all your bloody fault
    It's all your bloody fault
    It's all, I can pick it up, can't I?
    Why not? What is it? What?

    What's up with the fucking rules?
    What bloody rules?
    These stupid bloody rules
    Well how should I, where is it?
    In the water? What am I suppo—, look!

    Well you'll have to get it
    It's your bloody fault
    You bloody get it! Yes, now!
    I'm not, I don't care if it's not part of your job description

    Record producer? Wha
    You'll never bloody work again
    Get in that bloody water now
    Or you will never bloody work again
    Bloody nerve! Record producer!

    You know who I am?
    What do you mean you've never heard of me?
    You must have seen me number plate, it's on me range rover
    Where do I live?

    Well how should I know if there's any mountains in bayswater?
    I only go out there to get the bloody Sunday papers? Anyway
    That fucking band up? Bloody legs, are they?
    You know, I mean

    I mean what good is the bloody music without the
    See, what good is the bloody music without the sleeve I ask him
    No! No! No! Nobody's bothered about the music steve
    Only you and the fans

    I mean, I mean if it wasn't for the bloody fans
    I wouldn't be 'ere! You understand?
    You know, I mean, I'm only bloody
    I'm not doing this for fun!

    I mean, you kno-, steve
    No, no, no, steve, t—
    No, no, no, no—, no need to talk to me like that steve, no—
    Now look, look, I'm only arguing with you for fun, Steve

    No, o' course I don't mean it
    I just want to give [your since a?] driving to an early grave
    You know, but, er, nick, oh, oh
    Nicko! Nicko! Nicko, not behind that bush

    Noo! It's win, it's windsor bloody golf course
    The bloody queen plays here
    If she fucking played golf she'd play here!
    Oh for Christ's, what if bloody Lord What's-His-Name walked here

    Ooh, you what?
    Fear of the dark? You want to call it
    Fear of the dark? (Sighs)
    Hold on, I'll see what the bloke at the bloody off-license thinks about it

    Like, listen
    I've spoken to the bloke at the bloody off-license
    And I've spoken to the minicab driver
    And he thinks it should be called blood-sweating beer

    Nothing like a bloody good yorkshire title, like ye-
    Look, you get on with the bloody music
    And leave the important stuff like, ehh, you know
    The marketing and the design and the sleeve and the photograph
    [?] goes to me

    I've got a lot better title
    What about, eh
    L-a's from here to eternity or
    Bayswater ain't a bad place to be

    Well, I know bayswater isn't rock 'n' roll, Steve
    But neither was monterey until bloody hendrix went there
    The isle of wight was never bloody rock 'n' roll
    Until the bloody beatles went there

    Oh, I know the beatles never went there
    But it's only a bloody detail
    Don't be so fucking pedantic
    Oh, bloody hell! What? This bloody song?
    This bloody song

    What about calling it
    What about calling it fear of the golf?
    Fear of the golf no, not the gulf!
    You don't want to depress everybody

    What's that got to do with
    You've already got a song about the Gulf War
    Afraid to shoot strangers, this is about the Gulf War
    Well, the Gulf War's over, steve!

    It's already happened and it's not news anymore
    Couldn't you change it, one letter
    And make it, make it about golf
    Golf's happening all the time!
    It happens every bloody year

    The Gulf War never happens every bloody year, does it?
    I mean, they'll have forgotten about it in five years' time
    You're not singing about the bloody second world war now
    But nobody's singing songs about golf
    You'll go to the bloody market, I'm telling you!
    You will! You will!

    What's this bloody bit of graffiti on the bog wall?
    I'm not afraid to shoot managers!
    Who put it there? Who put it there, hands up!
    Who put it there? Who did? Mark?

    Mark put it there? He bloody works for me
    'E never told me he could read or write!
    Have to bloody watch my back now
    There's a bloody conspiracy theory going on
    Bloody hell!

    Who wants to talk to me? Who? Who 'dis?
    Who's on the phone? An artist?
    Bloody numby pumpy nod, just tell him to fuck off
    I'm watching the bloody golf

    Oh, and somebody still owes me
    For half the cost of that bloody turkey
    When he came 'round for Christmas dinner
    Bloody nerve! Mind you!

    Mind you, heh, you do have to look up
    You know, I mean the lads, I mean, they not so bad
    And I kno—, I know they don't mean everything they say because
    Y'know, because ultimately I'm always right

    Because the end, I mean, it's always my ideas that do get chosen
    Even though I didn't think of them
    Well, not quite
    I mean I like to think of meself as being a

    A creative geoffrey boycott
    You know, the- like the bloke who stood there for hours and hours
    Until the crowd went, still
    And then he was still shown on the telly after they were all dead

    Oh, yes! The legend will live on!
    And they bloody know me down the indian, you know
    I'm a bloody superhuman cricket man
    Boycotting existential golfing machine!

    I can't dig the blues, but I can dig a bloody divatark
    I'm bloody tell you!
    I'm a matchless millionaire, a bloody volcanised vehking
    I'm midfist roderick smallwood, with my own bloody number plate

    I'll bloody tell them
    I tell you I'm bloody glad I came back here from la
    England bloody needs me
