Maiden Japan, also known as Heavy Metal Army, is a live EP by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The title is a pun of Deep Purple's live album Made in Japan.There are at least two different versions of this EP; all tracks were recorded in Kosei Nenkin Hall in Nagoya on 23 May 1981. It was lead singer Paul Di'Anno's final recording with the band, and features a maximum of 5 tracks. The original Japanese pressing features only 4 tracks and the record speed is 45RPM. It was never the band's intention to release this album, but Toshiba-EMI wanted a live album.
Lyrics:
My life is so empty
Nothing to live for
My mind is all confusion
'Cos I defied the law
When you weren't there to help me
I lost my mind and ran
I never had no trouble
Before this all began
My life is so empty
Nothing to live for
My mind is all confusion
'Cos I defied the law
When you weren't there to help me
I lost my mind and ran
I never had no trouble
Before this all began
I'm running away
Nowhere to go
I'm lost and tired
And I just don't know
They say I killed a woman
They know it isn't true
They're just trying to frame me
And all because of you
Lord, I'm running
