| Mission From 'Arry |
|
(Smith/Dickinson) |
|
Kill for gain or shoot to maim, but we don't need a reason |
|
The Golden Goose is on the loose, and never out of season |
| Blackened pride still burns inside, this shell of bloody treason |
|
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun, for the love of living death |
|
The killer's on the loose or the Demon's seed, the glamour, the fortune, the pain |
| Go to war again blood is freedom's stain, don't you pray fro my soul anymore |
| 2 minutes to midnight |
| The hands that threaten doom |
| 2 minutes to midnight |
| To kill the unborn in the womb |
| The blind men shout let the creatures out, we'll show the unbelievers |
| the Napalm screams of human flames, of a prime time Belsen feast...YEAH |
| As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy |
| We oil the jaws of the war machine, and fee it with our babies |
| 2 minutes to midnight |
| The hands that threaten doom |
| 2 minutes to midnight |
| To kill the unborn in the womb |
| The body bags and little rags of children torn in two |
| And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you |
| As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song |
| To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun |
| 2 minutes to midnight |
| The hands that threaten doom |
| 2 minutes to midnight |
| To kill the unborn in the womb |
| Midnight...all night... |

And your bird she's singing |

Catch your soul he's willing to fly away |

Packed your bags in a hurry |
| Because your mind's in a worry |
| Mark my words you're gonna be sorry if you ever fly away |

| Sweet little girl with the Saint Da Vinci smile |
| Stares at me with sadness in her eyes |
| I'm not sure if she's really real or make believe |
| Maybe she's a vision that comes to only me |
| Cause I'm so tired |
| Yes I'm so tired |
| So tired |
| Yes I'm so tired |

Steve: ...anyways, he did not deserve to get a bollocking... ...at the time, I know why |
|
he got a bollocking, because you, you know, you dunno what the fuck he's goin' on |
| about, but he didn't really deserve it. All he's trying to do is relay a message from me to |
|
you, right? And he went the wrong way about it, okay? |
|
Nicko: Yeh, he did go the wrong way about it |
| Steve: Well then |
|
Nicko: Well I'm, I, I, I, I tell you what, I mean it ain't gonna happen again |
|
Bruce: I don't see where you get steamed, I mean, if the truss was gonna... |
|
Nicko: Why I got steamed up Bruce is because he fucked me right up. And I knew there |
|
was a problem, I still didn't know what it was even after he...I, I fucked! I fucking fucked up |
| Steve: I know that. Look, it's like... |
|
Nicko: ...and I stopped, and it was like "oh, for fuck's sake!" Come on kids, and I'm looking around... what is he trying to tell me? What's the problem? |
| Steve: Can't you understand? Can't you understand if I'm trying to get a fucking |
|
message through to ya, right?...I'd have still...it'd a been a lot worse. If I, if I had to go |
|
me gear done...as it happens, (snaps his fingers) just in the nick of the time I got it done. If I... |
| Nicko: Yeah, I still didn't get the message |
|
Steve: I know you didn't. But what we're saying, it didn't... whatever happens if I got him trying to get a fuckin' message to ya. Y'know what I mean? |
|
Nicko: Sure Steve, but the fact is that the guy was not handling it the right way |
|
Steve: You don't think of things like that Nick |
| Nicko: But that's diff... look... |
|
Steve: I bollocked...I was shouting at ya, "look, my gear's gone down" |
|
Nicko: It's me that fucked-up |
|
Steve: Listen... |
| Nicko: I'm the one out there all on me own... |
|
Steve: I know |
|
Nicko: ...I'm doing a drum solo. And I've got fuckin' talkin' to... |
|
Steve: No I'm the one, I'm only one 'a thinking, I've got fucking like a minute to go before m..., to get this fucking gear right |
|
Bruce: Yeah, but if somebody gives a message to me... |
|
Steve: No? |
|
Bruce: ...I mean, it doesn't matter who it is, I mean, the message gets through |
| Nicko: Bruce, it's different... |
|
Steve: It's a different situation |
|
Nicko: ...it's different for you. You're not standing there all on your fucking own having a |
|
somebody try to get your attention and talk to you. I'm playin' a drum solo, and the |
| guy's standing a yard, or two yards behind my drum riser goin'... |
|
Steve: Yeah, all I'm trying a... |
|
Nicko: ..."fucking anga-yangna-baba"..."wha?"..."BABA-BABA-BABA!"..."WHAAAA???..." |
|
the fuck! Uhhhhh! By the time I've got that far, I'm fuckin totally fucked. Because I'm |
| p..., I'm not paying attention to my gig... |
| Steve: Hey, look... |
|
Nicko: ...I'm paying attention to what he's trying to tell me |
|
Bruce: Yeah, but nobody woulda noticed |
|
Steve: I complete... |
| Nicko: I noticed! |
|
Steve: I completely understand that |
|
Nicko: Fucked me right up |
|
Steve: But he, he was only doing what I told him to do, and that was get a message to |
| you. Now that the fucking heat of the moment and just, everything on hand... he don't |
|
think to fucking tell Bill, he wants to get the message to you, not to fucking Bill, so he |
|
don't think of that, he just tries to get the message to you, right? So, he don't fucking |
|
deserve to get a bollocking for that, I mean, alright he got one I know... not sayin that. But I just don't, you know... |
|
Bruce: Attente! Attente! |
|
Steve: ...Bob was a nice guy. He's not like he's, fuckin', he's an asshole... |
|
Nicko: No, no... |
| Steve: ...or an idiot, or anything like that |
|
Nicko: Oh no, but he was out of order, because he didn't... |
|
Bruce: He wasn't out of order |
|
Nicko: He was |
| Steve: He wasn't out of order. he was wrong |
|
Nicko: He was, 'cause he fucked me up by tryin to tell me... |
|
Steve: Nicko |
|
Nicko: If he'd of come up to the riser... |
| Steve: Nicko |
|
Nicko: Look... |
|
Steve: Nicko |
|
Nicko: ...if he'd of come up to the riser there, I COULDA FUCKIN HEARD HIM!!! |
| Steve: But Nick... |
|
Nicko: Cunt was standin' behind, I was sittin' down |
|
Steve: Yeah... |
| Nicko: ..."bada-bada-ba" |
|
Steve: He was wrong. He made a mistake, but he wasn't out of order |
|
Bruce: It wasn't deliberate |
| Steve: He made a mistake... |
|
Nicko: Now, I know it ain't deliberate |
|
Steve: ...for fuck's sake |
|
Nicko: I didn't know that at the time, right? I still didn't know that Steve had a problem with his bass... |
| Steve: That's what I'm saying |
|
Nicko: ...luckily enough, by the time I finished the poxy solo, he had his bass working again |
|
Steve: It was all that fucking grief... |
| Bruce: All it takes is the guy... |
|
Nicko: The grief was, because I bollocked him up, and I happened to tell ya, and you go |
|
"don't bollock him, go out and apologize," right. Fuck him, I'm gonna go and apologize to him |
|
Bruce: Well all you gotta do... |
| Nicko: It's not for me to apologize. I bollocked him 'cause he fucked me up. Right there, he fucked me up. He was wrong |
|
Bruce: All you gotta do...no he wasn't wrong |
|
Nicko: He was |
| Steve: He wasn't wrong |
|
Nicko: He did not handle it...he's not even fucking communicating, right? |
|
Steve: Aw! I don' wanna fuckin argue about this, it's fucking stupid... I think you're really out of order, I think...honestly |
|
Nicko: No bollocks! Oh I am not out of order |
| Steve: You are. You're attitude is out of order |
|
Nicko: He...no it ain't |
|
Steve: It is |
|
Nicko: No it ain't. The guy fucked me up |
| Steve: I know he did... |
|
Nicko: Well then that's out of order... |
|
Steve: ...He didn't mean to |
|
Nicko: LOOK, I'M NOT SAYIN' HE FUCKIN' MEANT TO 'ARRY!!! The fact is that he was a |
| dumbkopf, 'cause he don't know how to fuckin communicate with me onstage... |
|
Bruce: But he's not a dumbkopf |
|
Nicko: Aww! |
|
Steve: He's not fuckin' stupid |
| Nicko: Well, he fuckin' certainly did a good job out there this afternoon, didn't he? |
|
Steve: He made a mistake, because I... |
|
Nicko: What do you mean "He made a mistake"? |
|
Steve: Because I... |
| Nicko: You sent him. How could he make a mistake? |
|
Steve: That's right |
|
Nicko: How did he make a mistake? |
|
Steve: Well, he made the mistake by not sending Bill first, right? |
|
Nicko: Well, well he made a mistake, right? |
|
Steve: Yeah |
|
Nicko: Well, why?... |
| Bruce: There's a difference between making a mistake... |
|
Steve: Well that's what I'm saying |
|
Bruce: ...and a difference between making a human error... |
|
Nicko: Right, so he made a mistake, right? |
| Steve: Yeah! |
|
Nicko: And I'm griefed up cause he fuckin' made me make a mistake. Now that he... now |
|
I can understand what he was talking about after the fact... it remains to be seen, he was on a mission from you |
| Steve: Aw, I'm not gonna argue about it |
|
Nicko: Right? Fuck my old boots, it just... I can't hack... I can't handle that situation |
|
when people think some can't make me grief, and it's important to me to get a message |
| like that...fucking hell! How can I get some... get, get... when I also fucked as well... I |
|
would'na minded if I'd have gotten what it was happening straight. Like, on the end "all |
|
right, 'Arris got his bass fucked, right I'll carry on and do something else", then that's |
| fine, if I didn't fuck-up... but he made me fuck. It totally threw me right out, and he wasn't... |
|
Steve: I know it did |
|
Nicko: ...He didn't know how to talk to me about it. And, and I've, I've told him "don't do that again" |
|
Steve: Because, see, it's not, it's not, it's not fair relaying a message to people. He was just... |
|
Nicko: And he never turned 'round |
| Steve: ...look, it coulda been anybody. It was just that he was the first one on hand |
|
Nicko: 'Arry |
|
Steve: He was just standing there |
|
Nicko: He never turned around, he never even turned around afterwards and said "Listen, |
| did you?...I'm sorry, but you didn't understand what I was saying right?" |
|
Steve: Well why should he? |
|
Nicko: Well then, then, then because... |
|
Steve: He got a fuckin' bollocking |
| Nicko: ...He woulda stood up for himself because he knows he was gotten a bollocking wrong, because he was on a mission from you |
|
Steve: He was probably... |
|
Bruce: No |
| Steve: He was probably fuckin upset... |
|
Bruce: He's probably a bit upset |
|
Steve: ...because you gave him a fucking bollocking |
|
Nicko: Well, rightly |
| Steve: You gave him up for...as far as he's con... |
|
Bruce: No, not rightly |
|
Nicko: Rightly, yeah |
|
Steve: But no, it's not rightly |
| Bruce: No! |
|
Nicko: I told him "DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" |
|
Steve: No |
|
Bruce: That's crazy |
| Steve: But what?... |
|
Bruce: What happens if the lighting truss is gonna fall down on your head? Does he go?... |
|
Nicko: Well then somebody drags me out of the fuckin' way, or else I'm dead, right? |
|
Bruce: Yeah, but don't... I mean... you know |
| Steve: I think your attitude is totally fucking out of order |
|
Nicko: No it ain't. No it ain't |
|
Steve: Yes it is |
|
Nicko: No it ain't. If I'd have known... now I'm the fuckin' cunt all of a sudden |
| Steve: No, you're not the cunt |
|
Bruce: You're not a cunt |
|
Nicko: Because I told him he was out of order, and I didn't know he was on a mission from you to tell me that his bass, your bass was FUCKED! |
| Steve: I know you didn't |
|
Bruce: All you've got to do Nicko, is just go to the guy and say... |
|
Steve: You didn't know, and he didn't know, alright? |
|
Bruce: "Sorry about, sorry about shouting. It was a misunderstanding. But in future, tell Bill", that's all you gotta say |
|
Nicko: No. No. |
|
Bruce: And that way, he's a fuckin' proud geezer... |
|
Steve: What's, what's the matter with ya? |
| Bruce: He goes... |
|
Nicko: Look... |
|
Steve: 'Cause if this is some sorta pride thing or what? |
|
Nicko: I bollocked him... no it ain't pride. It's, it's not fuckin' pride |
| Steve: Well what's the matter with ya? |
|
Bruce: It is pride |
|
Nicko: Oh bollocks! |
|
Steve: What's the matter with ya? |
| Nicko: The guy was wrong to have been fuckin' there to do what he done |
|
Steve: I know. All I'm, all I'm gonna say is that when you're going up tomorrow... |
|
Bruce: No it isn't wrong. What's he supposed to do? Turn around... |
|
Steve: ...this is a different attitude, 'cause this is fucking stupid |
| Nicko: I told him straight out not to do it again |
|
Bruce: What's he supposed to do? What's he?... |
|
Nicko: I'm not gonna go out and apologize for saying that to him... |
|
Bruce: He's NOT! |
| Nicko: ...He was outta fuckin' order |
|
Bruce: He's not out of order |
|
Bruce: what happens... |
|
Nicko: Bruce |
| Bruce: ...if I fucking go and tell somebody to do something, he goes "No, fuck off! I'm not gonna do that" |
|
Nicko: Listen, Bruce... |
|
Bruce: Then he's out of order |
|
Nicko: Bruce... |
|
Bruce: But he goes and tells him to go and do something... |
|
Nicko: ...I'm not concerned with, with, with, with, with other people that can't fucking |
|
talk to me on stage, who don't know how to fucking communicate with me... |
| Bruce: But he's not out of order trying to do it |
|
Nicko: ...He did not know how to communicate with me |
|
Steve: Some cunt's recording this |
