The Assassin lyrics

(Harris)
Now the contracts out
They've put the word about
I'm coming after you
It's not the money I make
It's the thrill of the chase
And I'm coming after you
I watch your every move
Study the things you do
And the pattern of your ways
I watch the way you walk
I hear your telephone talk
I want to understand the way you think
[Chorus:]
Better watch out, cos I'm the Assassin

Hooks In You lyrics

(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
[Chorus:]
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

Public Enema Number One lyrics

(Murray/Dickinson)
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
[Chorus:]
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

Run Silent Run Deep lyrics

(Harris/Dickinson)
The convoy lights are dead ahead
The Merchantmen lay in their bed,
The trump of... diesels hammers down,
In the oily sea - the killing ground,
His knuckles white his eyes alight,
He slams the hatch on the deadly night,
A cunning fox in the chickens lair
A hound of hell and the devil don't care
[Chorus:]
Running silent, Running deep, we are your final prayer,

No Prayer For The Dying lyrics

(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

Tail Gunner lyrics

(Harris/Dickinson)
Trace your way back 50 years
To the Glow of Dresden - blood and tears
In the black above by the cruel searchlight
Men will die and men will fight - yeah!
Who shot who and who fired first?
Dripping death to whet the bloodthirst
No radar lock on - skin and bone
The bomber boys are going home
[Chorus:]
Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tail gunner
You're a Tail gunner
[Repeat]

Fates Warning lyrics

(Murray/Harris)
Why is it some of us are destined to stay alive
And some of us are here just so that we'll die
How come the bullet hits the other guy
Do we have to try and reason why
[Chorus:]
Be it the Devil or be it him
You can count on just one thing
When the time is up you'll know
Not just one power runs the show
Are we the lucky ones saved for another day

Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter lyrics

(Dickinson)
Honey it's 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
So unchain your back door invite me around
[Chorus:]
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter

Holy Smoke lyrics

(Harris/Dickinson)
Believe in me - send us money
Died on the cross and that ain't funny
But my so called friends are making me a joke
They missed out what I said like I never spoke
They choose what they wanna hear - they don't tell a lie
They just leave out the truth as they're watching you die
Saving your soul by taking your money
Flies round shit, bees around honey.
[Chorus:]

Mother Russia lyrics

(Harris)
Mother Russia how are you sleeping
Middle winter cold winds blow
From the trees the snowflakes drifting
Swirling round like ghosts in the snow
Mother Russia poetry majestic
Tells the time of a great empire
Turning round the old man ponders
Reminiscing an age gone by
Mother Russia
Dance of the Tsars
Hold up your heads
Be proud of what you are
Now it has come
Freedom at last
