Iron Maiden - The Sheriff Of Huddersfield lyrics
Your rating:
We?re on a mission from Rod.. Life in the city living in L.A. Is a long way from Huddersfield town The back of the Rainbow?s a long way from heaven But that?s where he get his pork pie Limos and ladies they?re driving him crazy Rugby and cricket?s unknown Baseball and football they?re making him lazy Your fan club says "Rodney come?ome" The Sheriff of Huddersfield Locked in his castle Looked down on the Hollywood Hills The Sheriff of Huddersfield Locked in his castle You?re our own Hot Rod on wheels A good game of arrows a few dozen barrels The Nautilus rusts in the yard For Yorkshire he?s yearning but because he?s earning He?ll always live in L.A. A custom made wallet that stays in his pocket And never comes out to pay bills He?s winning at poker and playing the Joker And always cheats when he deals Hello, let me introduce myself My name?s Rodney I?m immensely strong When I were a lad I could lift up Five navies on the end of a shovel The reason I never took up martial arts Is because I was fearsome And probably Kill everybody That I came into contact with I was phenomenally strong Pride and ego My lads, Pride and ego Is what makes the world rotate, And everybody knows that The centre of the Universe is Huddersfield That?s why I don?t live there anymore I live in Los Angeles It?s great!... I think Rufus the red has a crane by his bed To wrench himself up in the morn? But if you dare to tread at the foot of his bed You?ll wish you?d never been born A bear with a sore head we don?t mean your forehead He slumbers for most of the day Wide eyed and legless baked beans for breakfast Your problem Rodney is L.A. The sin shines all night! /* This one from Wasted Years single Released on Sep/06/1986. Nice tune with great backings by Nicko.
