Maiden Iron The Sheriff Of Huddersfield lyrics

Harris - Dickinson - Smith - Murray - McBrain)

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!
