Words only found in one Maiden song.

[Maidenvana]

I thought this would be somewhat interesting. We all know Maiden like to repeatedly use words such as heaven/hell, fires/desires, life/death, and sky/cry, but there are certainly words out there not so often used. The goal here is to list as many words that only appear in ONE Maiden song.

I'll start first..

...and correct me if I'm wrong!

Sweet - Another Life

 

[mckindog]

Pranced — Dance of Death

 

[Travis The Dragon]

I could be wrong on these.

Greasy - From Hear To Eternity
Sanctuary - Sanctuary
Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
Paschendale - Paschendale
Dinosaurs - Quest For Fire
Boots - Die With Your Boots On
Alexander - Alexander The Great
Aces - Aces High
Sirens - Aces High
Spitfire - Aces High
Talisman - The Talisman
Westward - The Talisman
Salt - The Talisman

 

[Demigod_Tyek]

Powerslave probably has a lot of them (correct me if I'm wrong on any of these):

Horus
green
cat
temple
Osiris
preserved

 

[Kill Devil Hill]

To Tame a Land:
- Fremen
- Dune
- Muad'Dib
- Kwizatz Haderach
- Caladan
- Gom Jabbar
- Arrakis

Starblind:
- Damacles
- moonglow
- orbit?

 

[Ariana]

When the Wind Wind Blows:
- tea
- snug
- meadows
- supplies
- TV

Run to the Hills:
- injuns

By the way, "cat" appears in the Phantom of the Opera, too.

 

[Forostar]

Nice topic!

The Apparition
-extrasensory
-delusion
-perception
-telepathy
-alarmed
-disbelieve

 

[Forostar]

When the Wind Wind Blows:
- TV

It's in Holy Smoke, 2 AM, Face in the Sand.

When the Wind Wind Blows:
- tea

It's in More Tea Vicar.

preserved

Stranger in a Strange Land

green

Hooks in You
These Colours Don't Run

Sirens - Aces High

Running Free
Ghost of the Navigator

Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden

These are two words. I know they belong together, but if this is allowed we'd find more unique combinations.

 

[Ariana]

I stand corrected. I haven't listened to the first two in ages, so I see why I didn't think of them. But I should have thought of Face in the Sand.

 

[Forostar]

Added some more.

 

[Ariana]

We are all busted!

Edit: How about "scud" in the Longest Day?

 

[Perun]

I'm surprised you guys didn't think of this very obvious one:

Albatross (and if I have to tell you what song it is from, you better pledge a vow to never go near anything Maiden-related again!)

I also doubt we'd find Fokker, Enola Gay (as a given name), Dresden, Cologne and Frankfurt anywhere outside Tailgunner. I believe the same for searchlight and, well, tailgunner.

 

[Ariana]

Revelations:
- babe
- alter (do we have this in another song?)

Alexander the Great also has some proper names that are unique for the song:
- Macedonia
- Aegian sea
- King Darius
Also scythian, phrygian, yoke.

Wrathchild

 

[Ariana]

Bugger! I quit!

 

[Perun]

Revelations:
Alexander the Great also has some proper names that are unique for the song:
- Macedonia
- Aegian sea
- King Darius
Also scythian, phrygian, yoke.

Plus Greece, Egypt, Persia, Susa, Persepolis, Hellenism, India, Arbela, Babylon*, Jaxartes (however mispronounced), Philipp (of Macedon), Alexander, Asia Minor, and I think even Christianity.

*This is disputable, since it could be taken to appear in Moonchild as well, but those who have read Crowley know that it is actually Babalon.

 

[Ariana]

I un-quit!
Rue Morgue.
Gallows pole.

 

[The Flash]

rigid
turmoil
spiritualist
coincidence

From Infinite Dreams.

 

[Maidenvana]

Or how about "cuddle"? From Drifter

 

[Moon Child]

I'll take a stab at this. It's early yet so my brain is not in full function yet.

Rime
Mariner

Don't really need to say what song they're from.
