Text: Iron Maiden. Tailgunner.

Trace your way back 50 years
to the glow of dresden-blood and tears
in the black above by the cruel searchlight
men will die and men will fight-yeah|
who shot who and who fired first?
Dripping death to whet the bloodthirst
no radar lock on-skin and bone
the bomber boys are going home

[chorus]

climb into the sky never wonder why-tailgunner
you're a tailgunner

[repeat]

nail that fokker kill that son.
Gonna blow your guts out with my gun
the weather forecasts good for war
cologne and frankfurt?have some more|
tail end charlie in the boiling sky
the enola gay was my last try
now that this tailgunner's gone
no more bombers (just one big bomb)

[chorus]
