Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

Clue 1: A self-titled, multi-million selling debut album was released the same year as this Maiden track. This blockbuster album contains two Maiden song titles, but it's the more verbatim of them you're looking for.
Clue 2: The first two lines of the lyrics deal with introspection.
Clue 3: The song’s lyrics contain the name of a Beatles song - a song of theirs that has been widely broadcast.
Clue 4: The song has a single songwriter.
Clue 5: The lyrics feature the name of a political leader, an influential US rock band mainly active in the 1960’s, and also a long-standing environmental issue.
Clue 6: The song appears on more than one Maiden release. Even if it has a single songwriter (re: clue 4), a few of the lines in the song lyrics were added by another individual. Moreover, one could be forgiven for believing that a long-serving member of Maiden’s crew once took up vocal duties for a version of this song.
Clue 7: The song’s overall theme reflects a philosophical stance in a long-standing line of philosophical thinking that goes back to the pre-Socratic thinkers.


Not the ones: Wildest Dreams, 2 A.M, The Unbeliever, The Educated Fool, Wasting Love, No Prayer For The Dying, Infinite Dreams, Holy Smoke, Alexander the Great, Revelations, Iron Maiden

Clue 8: Some elaboration on previous clues: The other Maiden song title in clue 1 is a track from Maiden’s best-selling album that has not been released as a single, but appears on a single.

Clue 9: The philosophical stance in clue 7 is also reflected in the Maiden song’s title. A dream is used as part of a metaphor in the song. A similar metaphor is used in the opening line of one of Maiden's more successful singles. The same year of the broadcast of the Beatles song referred to in clue 3, a band premiered a song with the same name as the Maiden song you're looking for at the Glastonbury festival. Two years later, the song appeared on the self-titled fifth album by this band (I just edited this clue a bit to make it more readable).



Not the ones: Wildest Dreams, 2 A.M, The Unbeliever, The Educated Fool, Wasting Love, No Prayer For The Dying, Infinite Dreams, Holy Smoke, Alexander the Great, Revelations, Iron Maiden, Flight of Icarus, Run to the Hills, Empire of the Clouds, Total Eclipse
