You can guess again. 
New clue coming, and I have also corrected the bad phrasing of clue 2.
Clue 1: A Maiden B-side provides links to this next song you're trying to guess. One such link is through a book.
Clue 2: The chorus of the song has a line which is also the name of a song by a band that has shared stage with Maiden.
Clue 3: In the lyrics you will find a Slayer song, a record label, and a US 70s punk band more influential than successful, who sang about their home city.
Clue 4: Thematically, the song has quite a few counterparts in the Maiden catalog, but not really on the album on which it was released.
Clue 5:
London, Mexico City, Buenos Aires
Clue 6:
The song is found on more than one Maiden release, of which one has some atypical traits if we look at Maiden's overall release history.
Clue 7:
The inspiration behind the song is probably manifold, but inspiration can definitely be found in a film, which in turn was inspired by a work of literature. Within this work of literature, a Maiden album title can also be found in a quote. The name of the work of literature in question is also the last (stage) name of a rock singer who fronts a band that has been inspired by Maiden and was on a festival bill with Maiden a few years ago.
Clue 8:
In the song you can hear a composition trick often used by Maiden, where the end mirrors the beginning.
Clue 9:
So we're still going? I'm a bit surprised, as this is not an obscure song. Or maybe that depends upon how you look at it... But here's the clue:
The song has been released in different versions.
Clue 10:
The guessing so far has missed the target with some margin: Neither the song right before nor the song right after in the album running order are on the list of wrong guesses below.
Clue 11:
If you were to play all the Maiden releases where the song features from start to finish, you would also get to hear two of the songs in the list of wrong guesses below.
Slaughtered with wrath and despise: Killers, Quest for Fire, Charlotte the Harlot, Sun and Steel, Wasted Years, Running Free, Paschendale, Gangland, The Time Machine, The Book of Souls, Total Eclipse, The Parchment, Die With Your Boots On, Aces High, Fear of the Dark, Lord of the Flies, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Powerslave, Heaven Can Wait, Edge of Darkness, Sign of the Cross, Lost in a Lost World, Empire of the Clouds, Juanita, Age of Innocence, Prowler, Journeyman, Dance of Death, For the Greater Good of God, Speed of Light, Wrathchild

That's promising, but it's not the one.
Quite a few of the other clues, like 4 and 11, will also exclude Moonchild, I would say.

Clue 12:
The song can be categorised in different ways (see clue 4): Another way is to align it with The Alchemist and Montsegur.
