Iron Maiden - Mission From 'Arry lyrics

...I mean, it doesn' matter 'oo it is, I mean, the message gets through. Steve: (recorder clicks on mid-sentence)...anyways, 'e did not deserve to get a bollocking... (recorder clicks on and off here)...the time, I know why 'e got a bollocking, because you, you know, you dunno what the f** 'e's goin' on (someone speaks in background) about, but 'e didn', but 'e didn' deserve it. All 'e's tryin' t'do is relay a message from me to you, right? N' 'e went the wrong way about it, okay? Nicko: Yeh, 'e did go the wrong way about it. Steve: Really? Nicko: Well I'm, I, I, I, I tell ya what, I mean it ain't gonna 'appen 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 'e f**ed me right up. N' I knew there was a problem, I still didn' know what it was even after 'e...I, I f**ed! Steve: I know that. Look, it's like... Nicko: I f**in' f**ed-up...n' I stopped, n' it was like "oh, for f**'s sake!" (tapping his foot as if playing drum solo) Come on kids, n' I'm lookin' 'round...what is 'e tryin' to tell me? What's the problem? (mumbles something unintelligible) Steve: Can't you understand? Can't you understand if I'm tryin' to get a f**in' message through to ya, right?...I'd'a still...it'd a been a lot worse. If I, if I 'ad to go me gear done...as it 'appens, (snaps his fingers) just in the nick o' th'time I got it done. If I... Nicko: Yeah, I still didn't get the message. Steve: I know you didn'. But wha' we're sayin' (mumbles something unintelligible) wha'ever 'appens if I got 'im tryin' to get a f**in' message to ya. Y'know wha' I mean? Nicko: Sure Steve, but the fact is that the guy was not 'andling it the right way. Steve: You don' fink o' fings like that Nick. Nicko: But that's diff...look...(something completely unintelligible) Steve: I bollocked...I was shou'ing at ya, "look, my gear's gone down". Nicko: It's me that f**ed-up. Steve: Listen... Nicko: I'm the one out the(r)e all on me own... Steve: I know. Nicko: ...I'm doin' a drum solo. N' I've got f**in' talkin'... Steve: N' I'm the one, I'm only one 'a finking, I've got f**ing like a minute t'go before m..., to get this f**ing gear right. Bruce: Yeah, but if somebody gives a message to me... Steve: No? Bruce: Nicko: Bruce, it's different... Steve: It's a different situation. Nicko: ...it's different for you. You're not standin' there all on your f**in' own 'avin' a somebody try to get your attention n' talk to ya. I'm playin' a drum solo, n' the guy's standin' a yard, or two yards behind my drum riser goin'... Steve: Yeah, all I'm tryin' a... Nicko: ..."f**ing anga-yangna-baba"..."wha?"..."BABA-BABA-BABA!"..."WHAAAA???". f**! (lets out frustrated grunt) By the time I've got that far, I'm f**in' totally f**ed. Because I'm p..., I'm not payin' attention to my gig... Steve: Ey, look... Nicko: ...I'm payin' attention to what 'e's tryin' to tell me. Bruce: Yeh, but nobody woulda noticed. Steve: I complete... Nicko: I noticed! Steve: I completely understand that. Nicko: f**ed me right up. Steve: But 'e, 'e was only doin' wha I told 'im t'do, n' that was get a message t'you. Now that the f**ing 'eat o' the moment n' just, everything on 'and...'e don' fink to f**ing tell Bill, 'e wants to get the message t'you, not to f**ing Bill, so 'e don' fink o' that, 'e just tries to get the message t'you, right? So, 'e don' f**ing deserve to get a bollocking for that, I mean, arright 'e got one I know...no say in 'at. But I just don', you know... Bruce: (possibly saying "Attente! Attente!") Steve: ...Bob was a nice guy. 'E's not like 'e's, f**in', 'e's an a**hole... Nicko: No, no... Steve: ...or an idiot, or anyfing like 'at. Nicko: Oh no, but 'e was out of order, because 'e didn'... Bruce: 'E wasn't out of order. Nicko: "E was. Steve: 'E wasn't out of order. 'E was wrong. Nicko: 'E was, 'cause 'e f**ed me up by tryin to tell me… Steve: Nicko. Nicko: If 'e'd o' come up to the riser... Steve: Nicko. Nicko: Look... Steve: Nicko. Nicko: ...if 'e'd o' come up to the riser dere, (shouting) I COULDA fu*kIN' 'EARD 'IM!!! Steve: But nick... Nicko: c*nt was standin' be'ind, I was sittin' down. Steve: Yeh... Nicko: ..."bada-bada-ba" Steve: 'E was wrong. 'e made a mistake, but 'e wasn't out of order. Bruce: It wasn't deliberate. Steve: 'E made a mistake... Nicko: Now, I know it ain't deliberate. Steve: ...for f**'s sake. Nicko: I didn' know that at the time, right? I still didn't that know Steve 'ad a problem wif 'is ba**... Steve: That's wha' I'm sayin'. Nicko: ...luckily enough, by the time I finished the poxy solo,'e 'ad 'is ba** wo(r)kin' again. Steve: It was all that f**ing grief... Bruce: All it takes is the guy... Nicko: The grief was, because I bollocked 'im up, n' I 'appened to tell ya (something unintelligible) go out n' apologize right. f** 'im, I'm gonna go n' apologize to 'im. Bruce: Well all you gotta do... Nicko: It's not for me to apologize. I bollocked 'im 'cause 'e f**ed me up. Right there, 'e f**ed me up. 'E was wrong. Bruce: All you gotta do...no 'e wasn't wrong. Nicko: 'E was. Steve: 'E wasn't wrong. Nicko: 'E did not 'andle it...'e's not even f**in' communicating, right? Steve: Aw! I don' wanna f**in' argue about this, it's f**ing stupid...I fink you're really out of order, I fink...honestly. Nicko: No bollocks! Oh I am no(t) out of order. Steve: You are. You're a'itude is out of order. Nicko: 'E...no it ain't. Steve: It is. Nicko: No it ain't. The guy f**ed me up. Steve: I know 'e did... Nicko: Well then that's out of order... Steve: ...'e din' mean to. Nicko: (close to hysteria) LOOK, I'M NOT SAYIN 'E (Nicko hits something) fu*kIN' MEANT TO 'ARRY!!! (Steve and Bruce say something in background) The fact is that 'e was a dumbkopf, 'cause 'e don' know 'ow to f**in' communicate wif me onstage... Bruce: But 'e's not a dumbkopf. Steve: (?) Not close (?) Nicko: Aww! Steve: 'E's not f**in' stupid. Nicko: Well, 'e f**in' certainly did a good job out there this afternoon, didn' 'e? Steve: 'E made a mistake, because I... Nicko: Wha'd'you mean "He made a mistake"? Steve: Because I... Nicko: You sent 'im. 'Ow could 'e make a mistake? Steve: That's why. Nicko: 'Ow did 'e make a mistake? Steve: Well, 'e made the mistake by not sendin' Bill first, right? Nicko: Well, well 'e made a mistake, right? Steve: Yeah. Nicko: Well, why?... Bruce: There's a difference between makin' a mistake... Steve: Well that's what I'm sayin'. Bruce: ...n' a difference between makin' a human error... Nicko: Right, so 'e made a mistake, right? Steve: Yeah! Nicko: N' I'm griefed up 'cause 'e f**in' made me made a mistake. Now that 'e...now I can understand wha' 'e was talkin' about after the fact...it remains to be seen, 'e was on a mission from you. Steve: Aw, I'm not gonna argue about it. Nicko: Right? (it gets quiet for a second) f** my ol' boots, it just...I can't 'an, I can't 'andle that situation wif people (something about grief)... n it's important to me t'get a message like that...f**in' 'ell! I cannot get some...get, get...when' I also f**ed as well...I wouldna minded if I'd 'a gotten wha' it was 'appenin' straight. Like, on the end "aw right, 'Arris got 'is ba** f**ed, right I'll carry on n' do sumfing else", then that's fine, if I didn' f**-up...but 'e made me f**. It totally frew me right out, n' 'e wasn'... Steve: I know it did. Nicko: ...'e didn't know 'ow to talk to me about it. N', n' I've, I've told 'im "don't do that again." Steve: Because, see, it's not, it's not, it's not fair relaying a message to people. 'E was just... Nicko: N' 'e never turned 'round. Steve: ...look, it coulda been anybody. It was just that 'e was the first one on 'and. Nicko: 'Arry. Steve: 'E was just standin' there. Nicko: 'E never turned 'round, 'e never even turned 'round afterwards and said "Listen, did you?...I'm sorry, but you didn' understand wha' I was sayin' right?" Steve: Well why should he? Nicko: Well then, then, then because... Steve: 'E got a f**in' bollocking. Nicko: ...'e woulda stood up for 'imself because 'e knows 'e was gotten a bollocking wrong, because 'e was on a mission from you. Steve: 'E was probably... Bruce: No. Steve: 'E was probably f**in' upset... Bruce: 'E's probably a bit upset. Steve: ...because you gave 'im a f**ing bollocking. Nicko: Well, rightly. Steve: You gave 'im up for...as far as 'e's con... Bruce: No, not rightly. Nicko: Rightly, yeah. Steve: But no, it's not rightly. Bruce: No! Nicko: I told 'im "DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" Steve: No. Bruce: That's crazy. Steve: But what?... Bruce: What 'appens if the lighting truss is gonna fall down on yer 'ead? Does 'e go?... Nicko: Well then somebody drags me out o' the f**in' way, or else I'm dead, right? Bruce: Yeah, but don't...I mean...you know. Steve: I fink your a'itude is totally f**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 'a known...now I'm the f**in' c*nt all of a sudden. Steve: No, you're not the c*nt. Bruce: You're not a c*nt. Nicko: Because I told 'im 'e was out of order, n' I didn't know 'e was on a mission from you to tell me that 'is ba**, your ba** was fu*kED! Steve: I know you didn'. Bruce: All you've got to do Nicko, is just go to the guy and say... Steve: You didn' know, n' 'e didn' know, arright? 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: N' that way, he's a f**in' proud geezer... Steve: Wha's, wha's the ma'er with ya? Bruce: He goes... Nicko: Look... Steve: 'Cause if this is some sorta (pride/crime?)...(something unintelligible) Nicko: I bollocked 'im...no it ain't pride. It's, it's not f**in' pride. Steve: Well wha's the ma'er wif ya? Bruce: It is pride. Nicko: Oh bollocks! Steve: What's the matter wif ya? Nicko: The guy was wrong to 'ave been f**in' dere to do wha' 'e done. Steve: I know. All I'm, all I'm gonna say is that when you're goin' up tomorrow... Bruce: No it isn't wrong. What's 'e supposed to do? Turn 'round... Steve: ...this is a different a'itude, 'cause this is f**ing stupid. Nicko: I told 'im straight out not to do it again. Bruce: What's 'e supposed to do? What's 'e?... Nicko: I'm not gonna go out n' apologize for sayin' that to 'im... Bruce: 'E's NOT! Nicko: ...'e was outta f**in' order. Bruce: 'E's not out of order. Bruce: Wha' 'appens... Nicko: Bruce. Bruce: ...if I f**ing go n' tell somebody to do somethin', 'e goes "No, f** off! I'm not gonna do that." Nicko: Listen, Bruce... Bruce: Then 'e's out of order. Nicko: Bruce... Bruce: But 'e goes n' tells 'im to go n' do something... Nicko: ...I'm not concerned wif, wif, wif, wif, wif other people that can't f**in' talk to me on stage, who don't know 'ow to f**in' communicate wif me... Bruce: But 'e's not out of order tryin' to do it. Nicko: ...'e did not know 'ow to communicate wif me. Steve: (walking towards tape recorder) Some c*nt's recording this! (tape shuts off)
