Bruce Dickinson - Tears of The Dragon

Tears of the Dragon is the first single from Bruce Dickinson's second solo album, Balls to Picasso, released on 28 May 1994.

The song is talking about the departure of Dickinson from Iron Maiden.

Allmusic called "Tears of the Dragon" a "magnificent" track, "by far the album's best song".

The lyrics:

For too long now

There were secret in my mind

For too long now

There were things I sould have said

In the darkness

I was stumbling for the door

To find a reason

To find the time, the place, the hour

Waiting for the winter sun

And the cold light of day

The misty ghost of childhood fears

The pressure is building

And I can't stay away

I throw myself into the sea

Release the wave

Let it wash over me

To face the fear

I once believed

The tears of the dragon

For you and for me

Where I was

I had wings that couldn't fly

Where I was

I had tears I couldn't cry

My emotions

Frozen in an icy lake

I couldn't feel them

Until the ice began to break

I have no power over this

You know I'm afraid

The walls I built are crumblig

The water is moving

I'm slipping away

I throw myself into the sea

Release the wave

Let it wash over me

To face the fear

I once believed

The tears of the dragon

For you and for me

Slowly I awake

Slowly I rise

The walls I built are crumblig

The water is moving

I'm slipping away

I throw myself into the sea

Release the wave

Let it wash over me

To face the fear

I once believed

The tears of the dragon

For you and for me...

In this video is Iron Maiden performing Afraid to Shoot Strangers live from the Maiden England Tour at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine, CA on August 9, 2012.

All copyrights belong to Iron Maiden and the record labels.

"Afraid to Shoot Strangers," a political song from the point of view of a soldier in the Gulf War, Dickinson would often introduce the song as an anti-war narrative.

Only two of the album's songs, the title track and "Afraid to Shoot Strangers", would survive on tours past 1993.

The lyrics:

Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat

from my brow

But it's not the fear 'cos

I'd rather go now

Trying to visualize the horrors that

will lay ahead

The desert sand mound a burial ground

When it comes to the time

Are we partners in crime?

When it comes to the time

We'll be ready to die

God let us go now and finish what's

to be done

Thy Kingdom Come

Thy shall be done... on earth

Trying to justify to ourselves the

reasons to go

Should we live and let live

Forget or forgive

But how can we let them go on this way?

The reign of terror corruption must end

And we know deep down there's

no other way

No trust, no reasoning, no more to say

Afraid to shoot strangers

Afraid to shoot strangers

Bruce Dickinson - Tattooed Millionaire

Tattooed Millionaire is the first single from Bruce Dickinson's debut solo album, Tattooed Millionaire. It was released on 11 April 1990.

Paul Bruce Dickinson (born 7 August 1958) is an English musician, airline pilot, and broadcaster best known as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden. 

Dickinson's interests include literature, writing, fencing (at which he has competed internationally, placing 7th in Great Britain, and has founded a fencing equipment company under the brand name "Duellist"), railway technology and aviation. Due to the wide variety of Dickinson's pursuits, Intelligent Life named him as a living example of a polymath in 2009.

Aviation

Dickinson learned to fly recreationally in Florida in the 1990s and now holds an airline transport pilot's licence. He regularly flew Boeing 757s in his role as captain for the now-defunct UK charter airline Astraeus, which, from 16 September 2010, employed him as Marketing Director.

One of his key roles in that position was to promote Astraeus' services by increasing their number of videos, leading to the UK Civil Aviation Authority releasing a video featuring Dickinson on aircraft loading safety in June 2011. Following Astraeus' closure on 21 November 2011, Dickinson branched into entrepreneurship when he launched Cardiff Aviation Ltd on 1 May 2012, an aircraft maintenance business based at the Twin Peaks Hangar in St Athan, Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales.

According to The Wall Street Journal, as of January 2013 Cardiff Aviation has created 40 jobs and hopes to have over a hundred personnel by the summer of 2013.

"Tattooed Millionaire" LP reached number 18 on the UK charts. According to the lyrics, the song is about American rock stars using each other, flaunting their wealth and excess, stabbing people in the back and failing to fulfil their obligations to others.

This song was inspired by then-Dickinson's wife cheating on him with Nikki Sixx.

Personnel:

Bruce Dickinson – Vocals

Janick Gers – Guitar

Andy Carr – Bass

Fabio Del Rio – Drums

The lyrics:

Tattooed boys with expensive toys

Living in a bubble of sin

Money can buy you most of anything

Fix your nose or the mess you're in

Front page news, you can share your views

With a population (that) wants to be like you

Out on the strip, out on the tiles

Same old greed behind the p.r. smiles

You and all your entourage - to me you're all the same

You and all your entourage - playing foolish games

I don't want your big city shining

I don't want your silver lining

I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire

I don't want your big city shining

I don't want your silver lining

I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire

He's got a wife - she ain't no brain child

Ex-mud queen of miami

In his stretch cadillac he keeps her in the back

With his cd player and his bottle of jack

L.a. dude, l.a. attitude

Laid back, selfish, and getting fat

Bodyguards, porn stars, gold credit cards

Using each other - running for cover

You and all your entourage - to me you're all the same

You and all your entourage - playing foolish games

I don't want your big city shining

I don't want your silver lining

I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire

I don't want your big city shining

I don't want your silver lining

I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire

I don't want your big city shining

I don't want your silver lining

I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire

I don't want your big city shining

I don't want your silver lining

I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire

I don't want your big city shining

I don't want your silver lining

I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire
