[Lyrics]

Tattooed boys with expensive toys
Living in a bubble of sin
Money can buy you most of anything
Fix your nose or the mess you’re in

Front page news, you can share your views
With a population (that) wants to be like you
Out on the strip, out on the tiles
Same old greed behind the p.r. smiles

You and all your entourage – to me you’re all the same
You and all your entourage – playing foolish games

I don’t want your big city shining
I don’t want your silver lining
I don’t wanna be a tattooed millionaire (x2)

He’s got a wife – she ain’t no brain child
Ex-mud queen of miami
In his stretch cadillac he keeps her in the back
With his cd player and his bottle of jack

L.a. dude, l.a. attitude
Laid back, selfish, and getting fat
Bodyguards, stars, gold credit cards
Using each other – running for cover

You and all your entourage – to me you’re all the same
You and all your entourage – playing foolish games

I don’t want your big city shining
I don’t want your silver lining
I don’t wanna be a tattooed millionaire (x5)

”Tattooed Millionaire”is a song from Bruce Dickinson’s debut solo album, Tattooed Millionaire. It was released in October, 1990.

” ‘Tattooed Millionaire’ is a hard rock album released in 1990 by Bruce Dickinson. It is his first solo album. The album project began when Dickinson was asked to record a song for the fifth Nightmare on Elm Street movie, which became the song called “Bring your Daughter…to the Slaughter”. Collaborating with future Iron Maiden guitarist Janick Gers, Dickinson began to make a solo album which was fundamentally different from his works with Iron Maiden, sounding much more rock-oriented. “Bring your Daughter…” was not included on the original album but Iron Maiden later recorded a different version that was included on their 1990 album No Prayer for the Dying, which coincidentally became the band’s only number one single to date. The introduction to the song “No Lies” is also reminiscent of Iron Maiden’s version of “Bring your Daughter…to the Slaughter”. All songs written and composed by Bruce Dickinson and Janick Gers, except where noted. ”(Source:The Bruce Dickinson Wellbeng Network)

[Lyrics]

Into the Abyss I’ll fall the eye of Horus
Into the eyes of the night watching me go
Green is the cat’s eye that glows in this temple
Enter the risen Osiris risen again

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don’t wanna die, I’m a God, why can’t I live on?
When the Life-Giver dies, all around is laid waste
And in my last hour I’m a slave to the power of Death

When I was living this lie, fear was my game
People would worship and fall, drop to their knees
So bring me the blood and red wine for the one to succeed me
For he is a man and a God and He will die too

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don’t wanna die, I’m a God, why can’t I live on?
When the Life-Giver dies, all around is laid waste
And in my last hour I’m a slave to the power of Death

Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins
Silent the terror that reigned marbled in stone
A shell of a man God preserved for a thousand ages
But open the gates of my I will strike from the grave

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don’t wanna die, I’m a God, why can’t I live on?
When the Life-Giver dies, all around is laid waste
And in my last hour I’m a slave to the power of Death

Slave to the Power of Death…
Slave to the Power of Death…

Tears Of The Dragon (B. Dickinson)

[Lyrics]

For too long now
There were secrets in my mind
For too long now
There were things I should have said
In the darkness
I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason
To find the time, the place, the hour

Waiting for the winter sun
And the cold light of day
The misty ghost of childhood fears
The pressure is building
And I can’t stay away

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave
Let it wash over me
To face the fear
I once believed
The tears of the dragon
For you and for me

Where I was
I had wings that couldn’t fly
Where I was
I had tears I couldn’t cry

My emotions
Frozen in an icy lake
I couldn’t feel them
Until the ice began to break

I have no power over this
You know I’m afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving
I’m slipping away

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave
Let it wash over me
To face the fear
I once believed
The tears of the dragon
For you and for me

Slowly I awake
Slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving
I’m slipping away

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave
Let it wash over me
To face the fear
I once believed
The tears of the dragon
For you and for me…

”Tears Of The Dragon” is a song from Bruce Dickinson’s second solo album, Balls to Picasso,and it was released in 1994.

”Balls to Picasso” is a Hard rock album released in 1994 and is the second effort in Bruce Dickinson’s solo career. The ballad “Tears of the Dragon” stayed for many months on top the of charts in countries like Brazil where Dickinson has a large fanbase.
This record marked the beginning of Dickinson’s collaborations with Roy Z, who would work on many of Dickinson’s later albums including Accident of Birth, The Chemical Wedding and Tyranny of Souls. Stylistically it departs from Tattooed Millionaire but is still more traditional-sounding than the follow-up album Skunkworks released in 1996. Later, Dickinson said that he and Roy Z were talked into making the album less heavy than it should have been. (Source: Wikipedia)
