Iron Maiden - Mission From 'Arry Lyrics
Steve: ...anyways, he did not deserve to get a bollocking... ...at the time, I know why he got a bollocking, because you, you know, you dunno what the ***** he's goin' on about, but he didn't really deserve it. All he's trying to do is relay a message from me to you, right? And he went the wrong way about it, okay? Nicko: Yeh, he did go the wrong way about it. Steve: Well then. Nicko: Well I'm, I, I, I, I tell you what, I mean it ain't gonna happen again. Bruce: I don't see where you get steamed, I mean, if the truss was gonna... Nicko: Why I got steamed up Bruce is because he *****ed me right up. And I knew there was a problem, I still didn't know what it was even after he...I, I *****ed! I *****ing *****ed up! Steve: I know that. Look, it's like... Nicko: ...and I stopped, and it was like "oh, for *****'s sake!" Come on kids, and I'm looking around... what is he trying to tell me? What's the problem? Steve: Can't you understand? Can't you understand if I'm trying to get a *****ing message through to ya, right?...I'd have still...it'd a been a lot worse. If I, if I had to go me gear done...as it happens, (snaps his fingers) just in the nick of the time I got it done. If I... Nicko: Yeah, I still didn't get the message. Steve: I know you didn't. But what we're saying, it didn't... whatever happens if I got him trying to get a *****in' message to ya. Y'know what I mean? Nicko: Sure Steve, but the fact is that the guy was not handling it the right way. Steve: You don't think of things like that Nick. Nicko: But that's diff... look... Steve: I bollocked...I was shouting at ya, "look, my gear's gone down". Nicko: It's me that *****ed-up. Steve: Listen... Nicko: I'm the one out there all on me own... Steve: I know. Nicko: ...I'm doing a drum solo. And I've got *****in' talkin' to... Steve: No I'm the one, I'm only one 'a thinking, I've got *****ing like a minute to go before m..., to get this *****ing gear right. Bruce: Yeah, but if somebody gives a message to me... Steve: No? Bruce: ...I mean, it doesn't matter who it is, I mean, the message gets through. Nicko: Bruce, it's different... Steve: It's a different situation. Nicko: ...it's different for you. You're not standing there all on your *****ing own having a somebody try to get your attention and talk to you. I'm playin' a drum solo, and the guy's standing a yard, or two yards behind my drum riser goin'... Steve: Yeah, all I'm trying a... Nicko: ..."*****ing anga-yangna-baba"..."wha?"..."BABA-BABA-BABA!"..."WHAAAA???..." the *****! Uhhhhh! By the time I've got that far, I'm *****in totally *****ed. Because I'm p..., I'm not paying attention to my gig... Steve: Hey, look... Nicko: ...I'm paying attention to what he's trying to tell me. Bruce: Yeah, but nobody woulda noticed. Steve: I complete... Nicko: I noticed! Steve: I completely understand that. Nicko: *****ed me right up. Steve: But he, he was only doing what I told him to do, and that was get a message to you. Now that the *****ing heat of the moment and just, everything on hand... he don't think to *****ing tell Bill, he wants to get the message to you, not to *****ing Bill, so he don't think of that, he just tries to get the message to you, right? So, he don't *****ing deserve to get a bollocking for that, I mean, alright he got one I know... not sayin that. But I just don't, you know... Bruce: Attente! Attente! Steve: ...Bob was a nice guy. He's not like he's, *****in', he's an *****... Nicko: No, no... Steve: ...or an idiot, or anything like that. Nicko: Oh no, but he was out of order, because he didn'... Bruce: He wasn't out of order. Nicko: He was. Steve: He wasn't out of order. he was wrong. Nicko: He was, 'cause he *****ed me up by tryin to tell me... Steve: Nicko. Nicko: If he'd of come up to the riser... Steve: Nicko. Nicko: Look... Steve: Nicko. Nicko: ...if he'd of come up to the riser there, I COULDA *****IN HEARD HIM!!! Steve: But Nick... Nicko: Cunt was standin' behind, I was sittin' down. Steve: Yeah... Nicko: ..."bada-bada-ba" Steve: He was wrong. He made a mistake, but he wasn't out of order. Bruce: It wasn't deliberate. Steve: He made a mistake... Nicko: Now, I know it ain't deliberate. Steve: ...for *****'s sake. Nicko: I didn't know that at the time, right? I still didn't know that Steve had a problem with his bass... Steve: That's what I'm saying. Nicko: ...luckily enough, by the time I finished the poxy solo, he had his bass working again. Steve: It was all that *****ing grief... Bruce: All it takes is the guy... Nicko: The grief was, because I bollocked him up, and I happened to tell ya, and you go "don't bollock him, go out and apologize," right. ***** him, I'm gonna go and apologize to him. Bruce: Well all you gotta do... Nicko: It's not for me to apologize. I bollocked him 'cause he *****ed me up. Right there, he *****ed me up. He was wrong. Bruce: All you gotta do...no he wasn't wrong. Nicko: He was. Steve: He wasn't wrong. Nicko: He did not handle it...he's not even *****ing communicating, right? Steve: Aw! I don' wanna *****in argue about this, it's *****ing stupid... I think you're really out of order, I think...honestly. Nicko: No bollocks! Oh I am not out of order. Steve: You are. You're attitude is out of order. Nicko: He...no it ain't. Steve: It is. Nicko: No it ain't. The guy *****ed me up. Steve: I know he did... Nicko: Well then that's out of order... Steve: ...He didn't mean to. Nicko: LOOK, I'M NOT SAYIN HE *****IN' MEANT TO 'ARRY!!! The fact is that he was a dumbkopf, 'cause he don't know how to *****in communicate with me onstage... Bruce: But he's not a dumbkopf. Nicko: Aww! Steve: He's not *****in' stupid. Nicko: Well, he *****in' certainly did a good job out there this afternoon, didn't he? Steve: He made a mistake, because I... Nicko: What do you mean "He made a mistake"? Steve: Because I... Nicko: You sent him. How could he make a mistake? Steve: That's right. Nicko: How did he make a mistake? Steve: Well, he made the mistake by not sending Bill first, right? Nicko: Well, well he made a mistake, right? Steve: Yeah. Nicko: Well, why?... Bruce: There's a difference between making a mistake... Steve: Well that's what I'm saying. Bruce: ...and a difference between making a human error... Nicko: Right, so he made a mistake, right? Steve: Yeah! Nicko: And I'm griefed up cause he *****in' made me make a mistake. Now that he... now I can understand what he was talking about after the fact... it remains to be seen, he was on a mission from you. Steve: Aw, I'm not gonna argue about it. Nicko: Right? ***** my old boots, it just... I can't hack... I can't handle that situation when people think some can't make me grief, and it's important to me to get a message like that...*****ing hell! How can I get some... get, get... when I also *****ed as well... I would'na minded if I'd have gotten what it was happening straight. Like, on the end "all right, 'Arris got his bass *****ed, right I'll carry on and do something else", then that's fine, if I didn't *****-up... but he made me *****. It totally threw me right out, and he wasn't... Steve: I know it did. Nicko: ...He didn't know how to talk to me about it. And, and I've, I've told him "don't do that again." Steve: Because, see, it's not, it's not, it's not fair relaying a message to people. He was just... Nicko: And he never turned 'round. Steve: ...look, it coulda been anybody. It was just that he was the first one on hand. Nicko: 'Arry. Steve: He was just standing there. Nicko: He never turned around, he never even turned around afterwards and said "Listen, did you?...I'm sorry, but you didn't understand what I was saying right?" Steve: Well why should he? Nicko: Well then, then, then because... Steve: He got a *****in' bollocking. Nicko: ...He woulda stood up for himself because he knows he was gotten a bollocking wrong, because he was on a mission from you. Steve: He was probably... Bruce: No. Steve: He was probably *****in upset... Bruce: He's probably a bit upset. Steve: ...because you gave him a *****ing bollocking. Nicko: Well, rightly. Steve: You gave him up for...as far as he's con... Bruce: No, not rightly. Nicko: Rightly, yeah. Steve: But no, it's not rightly. Bruce: No! Nicko: I told him "DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" Steve: No. Bruce: That's crazy. Steve: But what?... Bruce: What happens if the lighting truss is gonna fall down on your head? Does he go?... Nicko: Well then somebody drags me out of the *****in' way, or else I'm dead, right? Bruce: Yeah, but don't... I mean... you know. Steve: I think your attitude is totally *****ing out of order. Nicko: No it ain't. No it ain't. Steve: Yes it is. Nicko: No it ain't. If I'd have known... now I'm the *****in' cunt all of a sudden. Steve: No, you're not the cunt. Bruce: You're not a cunt. Nicko: Because I told him he was out of order, and I didn't know he was on a mission from you to tell me that his bass, your bass was *****ED! Steve: I know you didn't. Bruce: All you've got to do Nicko, is just go to the guy and say... Steve: You didn't know, and he didn't know, alright? Bruce: "Sorry about, sorry about shouting. It was a misunderstanding. But in future, tell Bill" that's all you gotta say. Nicko: No. No. Bruce: And that way, he's a *****in' proud geezer... Steve: What's, what's the matter with ya? Bruce: He goes... Nicko: Look... Steve: 'Cause if this is some sorta pride thing or what? Nicko: I bollocked him... no it ain't pride. It's, it's not *****in' pride. Steve: Well what's the matter with ya? Bruce: It is pride. Nicko: Oh bollocks! Steve: What's the matter with ya? Nicko: The guy was wrong to have been *****in' there to do what he done. Steve: I know. All I'm, all I'm gonna say is that when you're going up tomorrow... Bruce: No it isn't wrong. What's he supposed to do? Turn around... Steve: ...this is a different attitude, 'cause this is *****ing stupid. Nicko: I told him straight out not to do it again. Bruce: What's he supposed to do? What's he?... Nicko: I'm not gonna go out and apologize for saying that to him... Bruce: He's NOT! Nicko: ...He was outta *****in' order. Bruce: He's not out of order. Bruce: what happens... Nicko: Bruce. Bruce: ...if I *****ing go and tell somebody to do something, he goes "No, ***** off! I'm not gonna do that." Nicko: Listen, Bruce... Bruce: Then he's out of order. Nicko: Bruce... Bruce: But he goes and tells him to go and do something... Nicko: ...I'm not concerned with, with, with, with, with other people that can't *****ing talk to me on stage, who don't know how to *****ing communicate with me... Bruce: But he's not out of order trying to do it. Nicko: ...He did not know how to communicate with me. Steve: Some cunt's recording this
