Hooks In You Lyrics
Behind my green door there's nothing to see
Stone cold sober and sitting in silence,laid
Back and looking for symphaty
I like a girl who knows where she's bound
I don't like girls who've been hanging around
Hooks in you,hooks in me,hooks in the ceiling
For that well hung feeling
No big deal,no big sin,strung up on love I
Got the hooks screwed in
You must have got your wires crossed cos she ain't home
Knock on wood - you know I like that sound
She never could keep her feet on the ground
New ideas for the decor tonight
Gonna make this house a preservation zone
Gonna set her in concrete set her up on her own
This song is a call back song of 22 acacia avenue.
Its all about how the owner of the place is turning it into a bondage palor. GREAT AINT IT.
I'm trying to remeber where i heard the meaning from, i believe it was an interview with maiden i read i while back, but i could be wrong.
Enough Charlotte the Harlot, already! I think it's a good song, if a bit stupid, but darnit, no more Charlotte.
the song is badass. fuck what other people thinks.
I once read an interview with Bruce. He told he went to see a house and saw hooks in the ceiling of a room and asked the real estate agent where it was for. It so happens the selling couple were into S & M and that's how Bruce got inspired for this song.
I think the whole Charlotte the Harlot saga is quite original. I actually like the idea ;) What other band writes songs linked together in a saga about a prostitute? It sort of seems unexpected out of Iron Maiden...but this is a very good song. In fact, I'm listening to it right now. The chorus must be my favourite part, and you always get a great solo out of the Maiden boys (Even if it is Janick Gers and Dave Murray, but they make a good pair...and then when Smith comes back the trio is great!). This song sort of scared me at first, it just reminded me of...something...but anyways I think it's a different song, as is the whole No Prayer for the Dying album, and Iron Maiden did change throughout the years...they started off different and ended different, but I love it all. Great material. Up the irons!
I think it might be someone is watching charlotte then goes on to stalking then puts her into bondage and rapes her.
