Bruce Dickinson - Son of a gun

Tekst :

Holy was the preacher.
Riding on his rig of steel in the rising sun.
This was no grim reaper.
But a man with a smile who took a pride in a job well done.
Ohh in a blood red sunrise.
He s preaching conversion as you lay down and die.

Just a god given holy roller.
In a god forsaken land.
He didn t choose this killing ground.
He didn t want this scrap of land.
You ve got to scorch the earth, yeah.
and make the rivers run dry.
Untill we learn to hate like him.
Kill for killin . Live to die.

[CHORUS:]

Ride on you son of a gun. Ride on. Ride into the setting sun.

You ve gotta be a hero, for one last time.
To prove through your destruction.
That killing is a great way of life.
There s a wooden cross somewhere.
Where they ll bury you down deep.
You lie to your people, You lie to yourself.
Your in love with death babe.
You ve got no shame.

[CHORUS]

The preacher laughed. The preacher cried.
He loaded bullets as he smiled.
Congregation sat and wondered.
Would they live or would they die.
Just an ordinary man, with his orders and his plans.
In the shadows of a cross.
Oh in a blood red sunrise.
Take me to jesus, with judas my guide.

[CHORUS]

Ride on your bleeding heart.
Ride on you play no part.
Ride on you feel no pity.
Ride on you feel no pain.
Ride into history.

    Worth the wait

    For decades I have waited for your response
    Cause deep inside I felt that we had bonded long ago
    Now a lifetime has passed before my eyes
    But I ve seen nothing but your face behind the veil of that snow white dress
    We were ment to be for eternity
    Spent your twenties between the...

    Lights of town

    The red sun’s going down, I’ll be waiting up again
    Wondering where you are tonight
    Out with all your friends
    And I guess that you don’t think about
    The home you left behind
    But I’d give everything to get you out of my mind

    Tattooed millionaire

    Tattooed boys with expensive toys.
    Living in a bubble of sin.
    Money can buy you most of anything.
    Fix your nose or the mess your in.
    Front page news you can share your views.
    With a population that wants to be like you.
    Out...

    Mister Shame

    I know you re out there Mr Shame
    I am calling your name Mr Shame

    There is no doubt
    You need to find out about the river
    But there s no covert scheme
    To help you find your dream
    To the River

    The Queen of chinatown

    It was down in Chinatown that I met the opium Queen
    Babyface girl from Shanghai never smile and never cry

    She now rules the underworld down in Chinatown
    She runs all the opium down in Chinatown
    Bring her your gold, bring her your worries
