prodigal son

ayrıca rolling stones'un beggars banquet isimli albümünden bir şarkıdır. sözleri :

well a poor boy took his father's bread and started down the road
started down the road
took all he had and started down the road
went out of his world, where god only knows
and that'll be the way to get along

well poor boy spent all he had, famine swept the land
famine swept the land
spent all he had and famine swept the land
said "i believe i'll go and hire me to some man"
and that'll be the way to get along

well, man said "i'll give you a job for to feed my swine
for to feed my swine
i'll give you a job for to feed my swine"
boy stood there and hung his head and cried
`cause that is no way to get along

said "i believe i'll ride, believe i'll go back home
believe i'll go back home
believe i'll ride, believe i'll go back home
or down the road as far as i can go"
and that'll be the way to get along

well, father said see my son coming home to me
coming home to me
father ran and fell down on his knees
said "sing and praise, lord have mercy on me"
they said

oh poor boy stood there, hung his head and cried
hung his head and cried
poor boy stood there, hung his head and cried
said "father will you look on me as a child?"
yeah

well father said "eldest son, kill the fatted calf,
call the family round
kill that calf and call the family round
my son was lost but now he is found
but that's the way for us to get along"
hey

Iron Maiden imzalı şarkı. Killers albümünde yer alır.

Sözleri:
listen to me lamia, listen to what i've got to say.
i've got these feelings, and they won't go away.
i've got these fears inside that'll bring me to my knees.
oh help me lamia or i'm sure i'll die, oh please.

i feel unsettled, now i know that i've done wrong.
i've messed around with mystic things and magic for too long.
i feel i'm being paid with this nightmare inside me,
the devil's got a hold on my soul and he just won't let me be.

i'm on my knees, oh help me please.
i'm on my knees, help me please.

oh lamia please try to help me.
the devil's got a hold of my soul and he won't let me be.
lamia i've got this curse, i'm turning to bad.
the devil's got a hold of my soul, and it's driving me mad. oh

oh lamia please try to help me.
the devil's got a hold of my soul and he won't let me be.
lamia i've got this curse, i'm turning to bad.
the devil's got a hold of my soul, and it's driving me mad. oh

iron maiden'ın bir başka fazla bilinmeyen harika şarkısı. solosunun çift sesli kısmı acayip kıskandırıyor beni. keşke o melodiyi ve tonu ben bulsaydım, keşke benim yapacağım bir şarkının içinde olsaydı diye.

öyle böyle değil bu şarkı, pek bilinmez lakin harikadır.
not: maiden şarkısı olanı, rolling stones olanı değil...

bir killer klasiği. bruce'dan dinlemek nasıl olurdu bilmem ama orijinal halini tercih ederim. bir fear of the dark kadar bilinmeyi hak ediyor ayrıca.
