PROWLER

(Harris)

 

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

I'm on my way

REMEMBER TOMORROW

(Harris/Di'anno)

 

Unchain the colours before my eyes, yesterdays sorrows tomorrows 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

 

Unchain the colours before my eyes, yesterdays sorrows tomorrows white lies

Scan the horizon the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out the fire

RUNNING FREE

(Harris/Di'anno)

 

Just sixteen a pickup truck, out of money out of luck

I've got no place to call my own, Hit the gas and here I go

 

I'm running free yeh, I'm running free

I'm running free yeh, I'm running free

 

Spend the night in an L.A. jail, listen to the sirens wail

But they ain't got a thing on me, I'm running wild I'm running free

 
I'm running free yeh, I'm running free
I'm running free yeh, I'm running free
 
Pulled her at the Bottle Top, whiskey dancing disco hop
And all the boys are after me, and that's the way it's gonna be
 
I'm running free yeh, I'm running free
I'm running free yeh, I'm running free

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

(Harris)

 

I've been looking so long for you now, you won't get away from my grasp

You've been living so long in hiding, hiding behind that false mask

 

You know and I know that you ain't got that long to last

Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past

 

Standing in the wings there, you wait for the curtain to fall

Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all

 
I know that you're going to scratch me and maim me and maul
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising 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
 
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
You haunt me you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair

TRANSYLVANIA

STRANGE WORLD

(Harris)

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
Lets walk in deepest space, living here just isn't the place
 
Leaves of green grasses twine, girls drinking plasma wine
Look at love a dream unfolds, living here you'll never grow old
 
Stalks of light grow 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

CHARLOTTE THE HARLOT

(Murray)

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 their laughter?
 
Charlotte the harlot show me your leg
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 from the floor
Well Charlotte you left me alone in there, to make your ends as a bloody whore
 
Well Charlotte you told me you loved me true, picking up pieces of love yesterday
Well Charlotte your drawers are off colour too, 'cause you're making love all day
 
Taking so many men to your room don't you feel no remorse
You charge them only a fiver for starters, and ten the main course
 
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 leg
Charlotte the harlot take me to bed
Charlotte the harlot let me see blood
Charlotte the harlot let me see love

IRON MAIDEN

(Harris)

Won't you come into my room, I want to 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
 
Oh well, wherever, wherever you are
Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far
See the blood begin to flow, watching it shed up above my head
Iron Maiden wants you for dead
Won't you come into my room, I want to 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
 
Oh well, wherever, wherever you are
Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far
See the blood begin to flow, watching it shed up above my head
Iron Maiden wants you for dead
