The Trooper Iron Maiden
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand there's no turning back The bugle sounds as the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath As you plunge into a certain death Oh oh oh Oh oh oh The horse he sweats with fear we break to run The mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race towards human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And as the Russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away We won't live to fight another day Oh oh oh Oh oh oh We get so close near enough to fight When a Russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds takes my horse below And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body's numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan Oh oh oh Oh oh oh
Shooting Star Bad Company
Johnny was a schoolboy When he heard his first Beatles song 'Love Me Do' I think it was And from then it didn't take him long Got himself a guitar Used to play every night Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit And everything's alright Don't you know? Johnny told his Mama, "Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away, Gonna hit the big time, Gonna be a big star someday" Mama came to the door With a teardrop in her eye Johnny said, "Don't cry Mama, Smile and wave goodbye" Don't you know? Yeah... Don't you know that you are a shooting star? Don't you know? Don't you know? Don't you know that you are a shooting star? And all the world will love you just as long As long as you are Johnny made a record Went straight up to number one Suddenly everyone loved To hear him sing the song Watchin' the world go by Surprisin' it goes so fast Johnny looked around him and said, "Well, I made the big-time at last!" Don't you know? Don't you know? Don't you know that you are a shooting star? Don't you know? Don't you know? Don't you know that you are a shooting star? And all the world will love you just as long As long as you are Johnny died one night, died in his bed Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play Don't you know that you are a shooting star? Don't you know? Don't you know that you are a shooting star? Don't you don't you don't you don't you don't you know? Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Played this on Guitar Hero once, at an arcade. I really went for it, blitzed it, turned around to my daughters proudly to say, look at me, only to find they had walked away disclaiming any knowledge of knowing me lol
Pinball Wizard Elton John/The Who
Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball. From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all. But I ain't seen nothing like him In any amusement hall That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball! He stands like a statue, Becomes part of the machine. Feeling all the bumpers Always playing clean. He plays by intuition, The digit counters fall. That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball! He's a pin ball wizard There has got to be a twist. A pin ball wizard, S'got such a supple wrist. How do you think he does it? I don't know! What makes him so good?' He ain't got no distractions Can't hear those buzzers and bells, Don't see lights a flashin' Plays by sense of smell. Always has a replay, 'N' never tilts at all That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball. I thought I was The Bally table king. But I just handed My pin ball crown to him. Even on my favorite table He can beat my best. His disciples lead him in And he just does the rest. He's got crazy flipper fingers Never seen him fall That deaf dumb and blind kind Sure plays a mean pin ball!!!
Some astonishing guitar work going on in this song....
Jeez H Baron, you are firing on all cylinders tonight mate.
