Iron Maiden

Tailgunner

Trace your way back 50 years
To the glow of Dresden - blood and tears,
In the black above by the cruel searchlight
Men will die and men will fight - yeah
Who shot who and who fired first?
Dripping death to whet the bloodthirst
No radar lock on - skin and bone,
The bomber boys are going home
 
[Chorus]
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner - you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner - you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner - you're a Tailgunner
 
Nail that fokker, kill that son.
Gonna blow your guts out with my gun
The weather forecast's good for war
Cologne and Frankfurt? Have some more
Tail end Charlie in the boiling sky
The Enola Gay was my last try
Now that this Tailgunner's gone
No more bombers - just one big bomb.
 
[Chorus]
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner - you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner - you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky, never wonder why
Tailgunner - you're a Tailgunner
