Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

Clue 1:
A flute-playing prog-rock legendary frontman, whose band has been an important inspiration for Maiden and Steve Harris in particular, owns a cat. Actually, he owns a number of cats, together with his wife. One of these cats has a name that when you say it out loud, it will sound almost like the name of a country. If you know your Maiden discography, this country will lead you on to this Iron Maiden song.

Clue 2:
Have you seen the writing on the wall... and the album cover, film poster, t-shirt, beer, plane and you name it...

Clue 3:
Within the name of the song, you will find the name of an influential punk band.

Clue 4:
"Killers", "The Apparition" and "The Number of the Beast" have motifs that can also be found in the lyrics to the song you're looking for.

Clue 5:
The song first appeared as an album track, but was not chosen as a single from its parent album. However, it has later featured on other Maiden releases, both live and on a Maiden single.

Clue 6:
The end of the song mirrors the beginning.


Not the ones:
The Clansman, To Tame a Land, The Trooper, Losfer Words, Be Quick or Be Dead, The Number of the Beast, Mother Russia, Children of the Damned, Women in Uniform, Run to the Hills, Only the Good Die Young, Hooks in You, Wrathchild, Sanctuary

Clue 8:
The lyrics are mainly describing situations in the present tense, but also address particular happenings in the past. Within the lyrics, you can also find the name of both an Iron Maiden and a Pink Floyd album.



Not the ones:
The Clansman, To Tame a Land, The Trooper, Losfer Words, Be Quick or Be Dead, The Number of the Beast, Mother Russia, Children of the Damned, Women in Uniform, Run to the Hills, Only the Good Die Young, Hooks in You, Wrathchild, Sanctuary, Total Eclipse, Brave New World, Remember Tomorrow
 
The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn as a Pink Floyd album would fit with The Wicker Man. TWM was a single and has been sung only by one Maiden singer so far though. The song in question can't have been released after VXI.

Most certainly wrong, but Heaven Can Wait?

Edit: As stumped as I am, I have to say that I'm really enjoying the way you structure your clues @Jmaster
