Explain.

Wait, huh?! Do I really need to explain it? Well...maybe a song about a execution thing-y? Oh, wait.

Well...maybe a song about a execution thing-y?

Only if it gives life and water.

There are plenty of cases in which Paul and Bruce have stated onstage that the song was meant to be about the torture device. The lyrics are a bit odd, but I never had any real doubt about that... see the blood flow, watching it shed, up above my head... sounds like what I'd experience in such a thing.

Dusty, if you want a song about torture, try out Frank Zappa's "The Torture Never Stops".

Flies all green and buzzin' in his dungeon of despair
Prisoners grumble and piss their clothes and scratch their matted hair
A tiny light from a window-hole a hundred yards away
Is all they ever get to know about the regular light in the day

And it stinks so bad the stones been chokin' and weepin' greenish drops
In the room where the giant fire puffer works and the torture never stops
The torture never stops
The torture, the torture, the torture never stops

 

[Brigantium]

Maiden still owes me a song about King Arthur.

Yes.

Also a Cats v Dogs song, with a guitar duel. Dave could play as the cat, Adrian as the dog. I'm not sure what Janick would be. A monkey perhaps.

 

[Stardust]

If I wanted torture songs, I'd just listen to One Direction!

 

[2Mins]

Smith may have come up with the title and Bruce took it from there...

This was around the time he was also writing the Adventures of Lord Iffy Boatrace...the themes are not so surprising then

I remember an interview from back then, Bruce was viewing a house to buy and saw these hooks fixed to the ceiling in one of the bedrooms. He didn't buy the house, but he did get a song out of it. Maybe H still thinks it's about fishing?!

explain women who have a mystical third hole

 

[SirRobbins]

maybe the life of eddie would be cool.

"Let's Try And Get 100,000 Measures In This Song"

At 120 bpm and assuming 4/4, that song would be 13 hours and 53 minutes long.

 

[Medieval Torture Device]

Since they've already addressed Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, I want to see the band take a stab at Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange.

 

[Welsh Phantom]

How about their take on H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds?

It would make a great companion to Jeff Wayne's excellent effort.

It's an interesting thought, but I cringe at the thought of Steve Harris writing in Nadsat. His lyrics are already obstacle courses in English.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Football hooliganism.

... oh, wait.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

House viewing.

... oh, wait.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

House viewing.

... oh, wait.

Lol.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Sleep disturbances.

...oh, wait.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

War.

No, I'll stop here.

Quoted for truth.
