Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

Miles Dyson...

At first, I would have said "The Evil That Men Do", but there is a british garage band called North End that had written a song called "Miles Dyson"... North end could refer to the East End of London. So, the song to guess is maybe a song from the Jurassic Period.
However, I still think the song is an Adrian Smith / Bruce Dickinson track. Played during the time where the couple wasn't in the band anymore. But, what song it is, that's the question...

Hooks In You ?
 
Clue #1:

Clue #2:
Down with tattoos!

Clue #4: the title of this song is rather common. It was at least used by a band which has influenced Maiden (or at least with lots of musicians who have influenced Maiden) and one that has been influenced by them.

Clue #5: At some point of Maiden's history, none of the writers of this song were present in the band.
...which is just a smart-ass way of saying that it was not written by Steve Harris.
:D

Clue #7: Though Steve is not involved, the chorus of this song is pretty repetitive. No wonder it was used only as a B-side.

Incorrect guesses: Brighter than a Thousand Suns/ Judas Be My Guide/ Burning Ambition/ Still Life/ That Girl/ Wasting Love/ Bring Your Daughter... To the Slaughter/ Powerslave/ Face in the Sand/ From Here to Eternity/ Dream of Mirrors/ Revelations/ Wasted Years/ Wrathchild / Back in the Village/ 2 Minutes to Midnight/ Hooks In You/ The Evil That Men Do/ Nodding Donkey Blues

We all got closer to our death"
