Stranger In A Strange Land

22nd November 1986

Album

Was many years ago that I left home and came this way
I was a young man full of hopes and dreams
But now it seems that all is lost and nothing gained
Sometimes things ain't what they seem

No brave new world, no brave new world
No brave new world, no brave new world

Night and day I scan horizon, sea and sky
My spirit wanders endlessly
Until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why
Hear me calling, rescue me

Set me free, set me free
Lost in this place and leave no trace

Stranger in a strange land, land of ice and snow
Trapped here in this prison, lost and far from home

One hundred years have gone and men again they came that way
To find the answer to the mystery
They found his body lying where it fell that day
Preserved in time for all to see

No brave new world, no brave new world
Lost in this place and leave no trace

Stranger in a strange land, land of ice and snow
Trapped here in this prison, lost and far from home

(3:18 – Slow solo: Adrian Smith)
(3:50 – Fast solo: Adrian Smith)

What became of the men that started, all are gone and souls departed
Left me here in this place so all alone

Stranger in a strange land, land of ice and snow
Trapped here in this prison, lost and far from home
Stranger in a strange land, land of ice and snow
Trapped here in this prison, lost and far from home
Stranger in a strange land, land of ice and snow
Trapped here in this prison, lost and far from home

The words she said turned out why
Desperation fills her eyes
Hold her in your arms, don't let go

When you taste defeat, when you lose again
Fight and win, never give in
Hold her in your arms, don't let go

That girl you need, gonna knock you off your feet
That girl, you know she'll never let you go

That girl, that girl, that girl you need
That girl, that girl, that girl, that girl

Can you hear her call, call out your name
Think about you, cry without you
Hold her in your arms, don't let go

Can you taste defeat, when you lose again
Fight and win, never give in
Hold her in your arms, don't let go

That girl you need, gonna knock you off your feet
That girl, you know she'll never let you go

That girl, that girl, that girl you need
That girl, that girl, that girl, that girl

(3:19 – Solo: Dave Murray)

That girl, that girl, that girl you need
That girl, that girl, that girl you need
That girl, that girl, that girl you need
That girl, that girl, that girl
That girl you need

(4:32 – Solo: Adrian Smith)

Yeah it cost me a bundle trying to track you down it's true
Yeah and it's the truth girl I'm looking from town to town for you
You know you never offered much security
Do you know I'm gonna get you back?
You just wait and see

I'm never goin' back Juanita
I know you never got my call
I'm never goin' back Juanita
Never at all

Yeah I'm spending a long time trying to work it out for true
Yeah it's such small crime thirsting over you
Living in a Chelsea flat seems so lonely now
I just know I gotta get you back I just don't know how

I'm never goin' back Juanita
I know you didn't get my call
I'm never goin' back Juanita
Damn on it all

I'm never goin' back Juanita
I'm never goin' back Juanita
I'm never goin' back Juanita
Never at all
Never never at all
Never never at all

Yeah just got to tell you I'm gonna leave it up to you
Yeah, what more can I say, what more can I do?
Living in a Chelsea flat seems so lonely now
I just know I gotta get you back I just don't know how

I'm never goin' down on Juanita
I'm never gonna make the call
I'm never goin' down on Juanita
Never at all

I'm never goin' down on Juanita
I'm never gonna make the call
I'm never goin' down on Juanita
Two fingers and all

I'm never goin' back Juanita
I'm never goin' down on you Juanita
I'm never goin' back Juanita
I'm never goin' back Juanita
Never goin' back Juanita
Never at all
