As a night sky darkens it means a lot to me The call of a bird and tonight's to be The night time crawls along a disused railway track As a child I used to play, but there's no way back
Crawl, crawl night-time You mean so much to me Crawl, crawl night-time It's the day I don't wanna see
Peace and solitude is all I want to know The cold and mindless touch of people who don't know Well see me, hear me – my thing's the same as yours Only I do it right and you just shut your doors
Crawl, crawl night-time You mean so much to me Crawl, crawl night-time It's the day I don't wanna see
Nights of freedom I lie awake in sleep All night long I am deprived that cloudy deep The empty sidings, the rusted railway train They loom in my vision through the frost-stained windowpane
Crawl, crawl night-time You mean so much to me Crawl, crawl night-time 'Cause it's the day I don't wanna see
When you leave and turn your backs out the way Revelations on the back of day My pure white mind it is still troubled by The night time creeping along the railway line
Along the railway line Along the railway line Along the railway line...
He's an old man, a white man Turning grey He's a life form, brain storm Melt away
Cell decay, years away So he thought Before his eyes, capsize See what he ought
So many happy years, his wife went before Now to stand before the grave "Don't worry my dear", he whispers to himself "It won't be long for me I'm sure"
It won't be long for me I'm sure No it wont be long for me I'm sure
He's wasting, crumbling Let him fall On his own, his friends have gone To Hallowed Hall Cell debris in his eyes, it's hard to see It's not too long, "I think he's gone" Rest in peace
So many happy years, his wife went before Now to stand before the grave "Don't worry my dear", he whispers to himself "It won't be long for me I'm sure"
It won't be long for me I'm sure No it wont be long for me I'm sure

Red Sky [3:45] (Boulton-Smith, O'Neill, Austin)
Ma:
A red sky it'll be a lovely day
Jimmy:
Hey Ma, can I go out to play?
Ma:
It's past your bedtime Be a good boy or the man will get you!
Jimmy:
Foolish thing, I know much more than her It's time for me to catch the midnight air Someone will feel the wrath of my knife tonight
Jimmy:
My parents adopted me in 1963 But a twist in time brought me from 2583 As a child I have the brain of a man at that time
(Solo)
Jimmy:
And out in the night the moon gives me my light To build a machine to overrun this world a pathetic sight Then I shall rule the world with my advanced brain
(Solo)
Ma:
A red sky it'll be a lovely day
Jimmy:
Hey Ma, can I go out to play?
Ma:
It's past your bedtime Be a good boy or the man will get you!
A Place Of My Own [4:43] (Boulton-Smith, O'Neill, Pemberton-Billing)
DJ: It's been a long, long time since this band was up at the Seven Stars, so will you welcome back please Iron Maiden!
Sag: Could this be the last bootleg?
I don't care for the sun in its place And I don't care for the people and their rat race All I need is someone of my own Someone who'll give me all of her heart and make me my home
I need a place of my own – out in the sun I need a place of my own – out in the sun
In my life I've seen things quite obscene Women and friends who've treated me rough and treated me mean But all I need is someone by my side Who'll give me the comfort and the strength that I lack in my life
I need a place of my own – out in the sun I need a place of my own – out in the sun
And if you feel like visiting me in my translucent house Expect to be seen by everyone The clothes you'll find in my wardrobe are glass And you can see what you wear before you put it on
(Solo)
I need a place of my own – out in the sun I need a place of my own – out in the sun
Paul: Thank you – That was a bit of rubbish written by our new bass guitarist Noel.
Exchange Is No Robbery [4:21] (Boulton-Smith, O'Neill, Pemberton-Billing)
Is it right to walk through the night With no one to share the load The people around are just part of the sound Like rail trains far away bound
Nerves and tears, hopes and fears Are all edged like a knife The train lines are here memories do appear It's time to take my own life
She was happiness and joy in guise She could make the birds fly and coloured the skies But she turned the night with tears and lied So you know how I felt and turned to suicide So I exchanged my love and took my life So I exchanged my love and took my life
Such a beautiful girl a wonderful thing A first love romance was just a fling She stole my heart and broke my soul Cant you feel the pain – God it was cold The morning I discovered her love had died The morning I discovered her love had died The morning I discovered her love had died The morning I discovered her love had died
(Solo)
The morning I discovered her love had died The morning I discovered her love had died The morning I discovered her love had died The morning I discovered her love had died
DJ: Super!
(The band had just finished the first set and was leaving the stage.)
I'm To Blame [4:10] (Boulton-Smith, O'Neill, Austin)
I'm gonna move on outta here There's no more wastin' my precious time Days are gone too late for me to change I know there's no one else but me to blame
There's no one but me, no one but me to blame There's no one but me, no one but me to blame I lost the only girl I loved But I know there's no one else but me to blame
Early this morning she walked out the door Well who will she run too now with her tell tale lies? I thought it would be all right bringing my freedom home Only the nights get so lonely can't she even telephone
There's no one but me, no one but me to blame The piper wrote the song but it's he who calls the game I lost the only girl I loved But I know there's no one else but me to blame
(Solo)
There's no one but me, no one but me to blame There's no one but me, no one but me to blame I lost the only girl I loved But I know there's no one else but me to blame
I'm gonna move on outta here There's no more wastin' my precious time Days are gone too late for me to change I know there's no one else but me to blame
There's no one but me, no one but me to blame There's no one but me, no one but me to blame I lost the only girl I loved But I know there's no one else but me to blame
No one but me, no one but me to blame
Life Span [4:24] (Boulton-Smith, O'Neill, Pemberton-Billing)
Paul: This is one called 'Life Span' – It's all about the trials and tribulations of life and what you have to put up with and what you go through and all that sort of crap. This is specially for Sue – my wife, 'cause she's heard me play it on my own so many times – she must be sick and tired of hearing it by now.
I don't see that living today Will be easier now you're away Life seems dead there's nothing to say Keep on movin' make my own way
I'm livin' in an empty world There ain't no love without you
I know people say death's the only way But come tomorrow it's my day Freedom and strife are all you see But freedom and light is what you'll be
I'm livin' in an empty world 'Cause there ain't no love without you Let me feel your eyes that shine
(Solo)
I don't see why my life's just a game But it helps to take away the hurt and pain My life span's wide looking over the years But there's been so much pain and too many fears
(Solo)
Life's just a game, it takes away the hurt and pain Life's just a game, it takes away the hurt and pain Life's just a game, it takes away the hurt and pain
I'm running my way back home And I'm running without any shoes I gotta fly down the highway With the wind blowin' through my blues
Windwiper freeway takin' me all the way home
My eyes don't get full of dust Cause the wind's blowin' my way Ridin' me high pushin' me 'long Takin' the windwiper way
Windwiper freeway takin' me all the way home
(Solo)
I gotta get back home Cause I can't remember when I last saw my momma I didn't treat her too good then
Windwiper freeway takin' me all the way home
Only a mile to go I'm only an hour away And maybe when I get there Baby I'm fixin' to stay
But the call of the windwiper Takes me away again Yeah the call of the windwiper Takes me away again
The Naughtiest Girl Is Alive And Well [10:09] (Boulton-Smith, O'Neill, Pemberton-Billing)
I been lost for so long, I'll tell you the story of my life My days flowed like a smooth stream, cut through many paths But if one day it ended, it had to be with you 'Cause you came like a snowstorm, and chilled my red blood blue
Cold-hearted woman you move like a snake, look in your eyes they turn you cold inside I didn't feel I needed you I must be wrong, you instil a need to love you so strong
She... twenty years forward now See... the red lamp above her door See... the young men who call more and more She... the young girl who became a whore
I'm livin' it all again baby, day after day You brought your lovin' to me, but you threw it all away But if one day it ended, it had to be with you Cause you came like a snowstorm, and chilled my red blood blue
Cold-hearted woman you move like a snake, look in your eyes they turn you cold inside I didn't feel I needed you I must be wrong; you instil a need to love you so strong
She... twenty years forward now See... the red lamp above her door See....the young men who call more and more She... the young girl who became a whore
(Solo)
I'm livin' it all again baby, day after day You brought your lovin' to me, but you threw it all away But if one day it ended, it had to be with you Cause you came like a snowstorm, and chilled my red blood blue
Paul: This is one called "Crawl Crawl Night-Time", all about insomnia.
As a night sky darkens it means a lot to me The call of a bird and tonight's to be The night time crawls along a disused railway track As a child I used to play, but there's no way back
Crawl, crawl night-time You mean so much to me Crawl, crawl night-time It's the day I don't wanna see
Peace and solitude is all I want to know The cold and mindless touch of people who don't know Well see me, hear me – my thing's the same as yours Only I do it right and you just shut your doors
Crawl, crawl night-time You mean so much to me Crawl, crawl night-time It's the day I don't wanna see
(Solo)
Nights of freedom I lie awake in sleep All night long I am deprived that cloudy deep The empty sidings, the rusted railway train They loom in my vision through the frost-stained windowpane
Crawl, crawl night-time You mean so much to me Crawl, crawl night-time 'Cause it's the day I don't wanna see
When you leave and turn your backs out the way Revelations on the back of day My pure white mind it is still troubled by The night time creeping along the railway line
Along the railway line Along the railway line Along the railway line...
(Solo)
Paul: Thank you very much, you are very kind thank you, always nice to be back in Bolton again.
Maiden Flight [12:03] (Boulton-Smith, O'Neill, Austin)
Paul: This is the last one, this is all about space and time and things – this is one called "Maiden Flight".
Fly light through air, lightning prism colours fair Time traveller taking care, time traveller Have you got there? Have you got there? Have you got there? Have you got there?
Look out on your own horizon – it's our maiden flight Look out for yourself dear friend, you know I must be right You know I must be right, you know that I am right!
(Solo)
In building my machine I can see, life as it formed and started And with my faithful mute friend, we traverse the space, without an end In the beginning the world was, it always has and it always will be But at the end of time, what may I find, is there really an end to mankind?
(Solo)
(Bass solo) (Drum solo)
Look out on your own horizon – it's our maiden flight Look out for yourself dear friend, you know I must be right You know I must be right, you know that I am right!
DJ: Thanks Ladies and Gentlemen the sound of the Iron Maiden here live! [...] Unfortunately time's running out so they can't do another number unfortunately.
