Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

Clue 1: If taken at face value, events in this song unfold in 1974.

Clue 2: The song has been played live. On the night of the song's live debut, two other Maiden songs were played live for the very first time.


The desperation of the situation getting graver: When The Wild Wind Blows, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Charlotte the Harlot

Clue 3:
A prominent part of the Maiden song in question is palpably inspired by a song from a self-titled early 70s debut album. On this album, the artist also performs a cover version of a trad blues song which is also covered by another big rock band, from which there goes a direct link to the Maiden song you're looking for. And yes, to thicken the plot, this big rock band has a song on their debut album where the artist with the self-titled early 70s album is mentioned.

That's very good reasoning. But it's not the right song.
