Drifter - Iron Maiden (Maiden Japan - 1981)

Maiden Japan, also known as Heavy Metal Army, is a live EP by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The title is a pun of Deep Purple's live album Made in Japan.There are at least two different versions of this EP; all tracks were recorded in Kosei Nenkin Hall in Nagoya on 23 May 1981. It was lead singer Paul Di'Anno's final recording with the band, and features a maximum of 5 tracks. The original Japanese pressing features only 4 tracks and the record speed is 45RPM. It was never the band's intention to release this album, but Toshiba-EMI wanted a live album.

Look out now baby won't you take me away,
Sitting here I think it's gonna be a new day.

Gonna get my song 'til I can't go on,
Gonna keep on roaming gotta sing my song.

What you feeling when you hold me tight,
Gonna cuddle up to you tonight.
Gonna get you feeling so secure.
Listen child, don't you see there's a cure.
Anywhere got to get you away,
Feels so good, think it's gonna be a new day.

Gonna get my song 'til I cant go on,
Gonna keep on roaming gotta sing my song.

What you feeling when you hold me tight,
I wanna cuddle up to you tonight.
Gonna get you feeling so secure.
Listen child, don't you see there's a cure.
Anywhere got to get you away,
Feels so good, think it's gonna be a new day.

Gonna get my song 'til I cant go on,
Gonna keep on roaming gotta sing my song.

Gonna sing my song yeah,
And it won't take long.
Gonna sing my song yeah,
