Iron Maiden – Prowler

"Prowler" as written by and Steve Harris....
Walking through the city, looking oh so pretty
I've just got to find my way
See the ladies flashing, all there legs and lashes
I've just got to find my way

Well you see me crawling through the bushes with it open wide
What you seeing girl?
Can't you believe that feeling, can't you believe it
Can't you believe your eyes?
It's the real thing girl

Got me feeling myself and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around
Got me feeling myself and reeling a
Got me talking but nothing's with me
Got me feeling myself and reeling around

Walking through the city, looking oh so pretty
I've just got to find my way
See the ladies flashing, all there legs and lashes
I've just got to find my way

Well you see me crawling through the bushes with it open wide
What you seeing girl?
Can't you believe that feeling, can't you believe it
Can't you believe your eyes?
It's the real thing girl

Got me feeling myself and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around

    General CommentThe first chunk is what the public wanker is doing (wanking in public), the second chunk is what he's fantasizing (showing the bird how big his prick is and she's in awe) and the third chunk is remembering how the birds aren't feeling his "big" prick but in fact alone (Got me talkin, but nothing's with me)

    General CommentHaha,
    I've got to say this the next time I'm with a hot chick.

    Can't you believe that feeling, can't you believe it,
    Can't you believe your eyes?
    It's the real thing girl.

    Yeah!

    General CommentYou've gotta be kidding me...no one figured it out? This is a really funny song, which is found on their original record(Bruce isn't on it yet). This is a song about a pervert pretty much. He's drunk, and acting freaky, and girls are running away from him.

    General CommentHooded_assailant's comment makes sense to me...

    BTW, although it's been a long time since PapaRoacker_5k posted his response, I just wanted to say that Maiden wrote this song two decades before Papa Roach was even around. PR steals Maiden's riffs: Listen to "Last Resort" by PR and then listen to "Ghengis Kahn" by IM.
