Iron Maiden - The Fugitive Lyrics






On a cold October morning
As frost lay on the ground
Waiting to make my move
I made no sound

Waiting for the mist to cover all around
I carefully picked my time then took the wall

I'm sick and tired of running
The hunger and the pain
A stop to look about then off again

Being at the wrong place
And at the wrong time
Suspected of a hit that was my crime

[Chorus:]
I am a fugitive being hunted down like game
I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name

Always looking 'round me
Forever looking back
I'll always be a target for attack

Every morning onwards
Always on the run
Waiting for a sight of a loaded gun

[Chorus:]

Even if I find them
And get to clear my name
I know that things can never be the same

But if I ever prove
My innocence some day
I've got to get them all to make them pay

[Chorus:]

Iron Maiden The Fugitive Comments
  1. B.... F....

    Fear of the Dark is such an underrated album!

  2. P.... ....

    Snowden's theme

  3. �.... �....

    That was really a good time. Back in time. Thank you, it was like lightning from here back to brilliant past where there was a good job and a glance for a brilliant future. Just a dream.

  4. A.... S....

    this song made my childhood great (again?) back in the time. together with The Warriors Prayer by Manowar and the Imaginations from the Other Side by the Blind Guardian.. those were the songs (to play Descent, Final Velocity and Mortal Combat 1 & 2) ))

  5. m.... g....

    such an underrated song one of my maidens favourites

  6. s.... w....

    The punch of the guitars, brilliant riffs and solos, well it´s Maiden all right, but the chorus......it´s beautiful, the power in the voice....I´m not a fugitive, but I sure am a prisoner in the hands of Maiden......

  7. w.... w....

    Vex , It's No Crime - similar song

    it's alright to criticize if you give the individual clues on how to do better like in a restaraunt.

  13. C.... B....

    Stop bitchin 27/8

  14. t.... ....

    For me this is one of the best songs on the album - Can't quite decide between this and "Wasting Love", but they're so different so comparison makes no sense... One of the best it is :D This song fucking rules!!

  15. Y.... H....

  33. J.... R....

    One of my absolute favorites! On surround sound, it hits like a wave at about 1:20... Brutal riff!

  34. s.... ....

    haha the riff in this song reminds me so much the riff in Judas Priest - Hot Rockin' xD

  35. v.... v....

    0:47 ❤

  36. O.... S....

    3:42~3:49 > Sounds A Little Bit Similar The Original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Song Intro.

    O.... S....

    Nah, Prowler sounds more like it.

  37. S.... ....

    Just finished to watch "the fugitive" movie with Harrison Ford. I couldn't help but put this song on at the end of the movie.

    S.... ....

    GREAT movie, great song.

  38. S.... M....

    Love it

  39. S.... Z....

    La mejor canción.LIKE

  40. T.... ....

    Shit, sound of this album is crap. It is pity, because sons are brilliant

  41. E.... A....

    they're like gods to me. W When we in Albania came out from communist regime in 1991, Iron Maiden albums were like a bible to christians or something... Dying in bed to such songs would just be passport to heaven

    E.... A....

    Se dija kete.A e ke blere kete album?

    E.... A....

    i believe that every artist has a testament in their own universe to create for themselves.

    E.... A....

    jjcreator.bolgspot.com my universe.

  42. T.... S....

    Oi da hora the fugitive

  43. e.... f....

    like 3:39

  44. f.... b....

    yes go go maiden run to infinit

  45. �.... ....

    someone should do video from Fugitive movie with Harrison Ford! :)

    �.... ....

    I am watching the film right now with the song in my headphones :D

  46. H.... R....

    Funny, the "Fugitive" TV series has an episode called "The Iron Maiden" too.

    H.... R....

    im sure its not just a coincidence.

    H.... R....

    There's also an episode called "moon child" and "evil that man do". Pretty sure they were fans of this show.

    H.... R....

    Coincidence? I think NOT!

  47. A.... L....

    animalll está música!!!!!! só isso!!!!!

  48. M.... D....

    love love and love!!!

  49. p.... ....

    Watch out for the one-armed man!

  50. J.... B....

    Well the Prisoner and Back in the Village were both about the BBC show "The Prisoner" but I don't think the fugitive is... I only watched the first three episodes of course so I can't really say, but lines like "...But if I ever prove/My innocence some day..." just go against it, since the show never said if Prisoner Six commit a crime or not.

  51. M.... B....

    Keep running Snowdon! Don't let them catch you!

  52. e.... u....

    me encanta esta cancion muy buen tema

  53. S.... C....

    RICHARD KIMBLE AND SAM GERARD ARE THE FUCKIN MEN. BEST TV SERIES OF ALL TIME

  54. T.... G....

    i think fear of the dark, as an album in his whole, is a little underrated, it has a great atmosphere, the themes are all very sad and dark, most of the album is about war, corruption, sorrow and delusion and some songs like this one are underrated aswell

  55. P.... M....

    \oooooooooooooooooooooooooo/

  56. S.... ....

    Nah. Back in the village was on Powerslave, so I don't think they meant the 3 songs to tell parts of the same story.

  57. k.... s....

    hmm i think so there is my nick !! :D

  58. B.... ....

    mmmmm... jam

  59. I.... B....

    i am taking five fugitives for sure

  60. R.... ....

    Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (we all know what it's about)
    Comming home (lyrics go: "Flown the dark atlantic, over mariner's stormy graves!")
    Another similarity :D

  61. D.... ....

    i love this song...i love this band!!!!

  62. M.... o....

    THE GREAT SONG

  63. 6.... ....

    1 dislike for every 100 likes

  64. M.... B....

    Its from an Old tv series called 'the prisoner' bruce is a fan of, check it out.

  65. M.... B....

    "Ever moving onwards
    Always on the run
    Waiting for the sight of a loaded gun"
    I love that part!

  66. T.... ....

    'The Village' from 'The Prisoner'

    google it.

  67. J.... P....

    i see how The Prisoner and The Fugitive would go together, but how would Back in the Village tie in with this?

  68. U.... ....

    Their, dude... Their...

  69. M.... B....

    Its a reference to Patrick mcgooan's series 'The Prisoner'. Bruce is a big fan of

  70. m.... w....

    very nice, but i prefer "The Fugitive" from Cloven Hoof!!

  71. f.... ....

    great song .what else would you expect from iron maiden?

  72. T.... ....

    I believe the song trilogy.

    Part 1) The Prisoner

    Part 2) The Fugitive

    Part 3) Back in the village


    Either way. That's why I like Maiden, because their music makes you think and learn.

  73. B.... ....

    No way. Fear of the Dark is their worst album after almost 12 years of listening to Maiden, it's not even a contest.

  74. s.... p....

    *its again not game get it right lol

  75. P.... D....

    be quick or be dead.

  76. M.... ....

    I can't deny, this album is good. It's no Piece of Mind, or Number of the Beast, but it's good.

  77. E.... M....

    The worst production on a Maiden album. The guitars are thin, the drums are drowned in reverb, vocals sound flat - everything sounds so 80s, while in 80s Maiden sounded quite unlike 80s! That being said, this is a very good song.

  78. D.... ....

    the beginning is awesome , suspense-ful and creepy. i can picture a metallic spider walking to this part. i love you , iron maiden..

  79. A.... H....

    That intro makes me want to punch someone in the face.

  80. v.... b....

    I hate youtube...how is it possible that in 2 years and 5 months there were only 56 thousands wiews??? fuck...this fucking system will fail and the honesty will triumph....fuck again...

  81. A.... T....

    Great song!

  82. M.... ....

    Dam, have to listen to this again!!! ....I got to get them all to make them PAY!
    \m/-_-\m/

  83. A.... B....

    There is no favourite iron maiden songs.. there are iron maidens, or other crap

  84. A.... B....

    @WolfieTed bruce dickenson for GOD?

  85. L.... K....

    @WolfieTed EDDIE for presedent!

  86. c.... ....

    is this a sequence of murders in the rue morgue?

  87. T.... ....

    I forgot how tasty this jam is.

  88. E.... B....

    This song rocks the shit out of me!! Shoul've been played live definetly!

  89. f.... ....

    This is only one channel of the song! :/

  90. A.... ....

    @nefredil I don;t care bout harrison ford but this song is fucking awesome!

  91. Z.... R....

    Much like 'The Prisoner', 'The Fugitive' was based on the 60's tv show of the same name. It was made into a movie in the 90's, starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones, filmed in Chicago. It's about a surgeon who is accused of brutaly murdering his wife, escapes custody, and goes on the run in search of the real killer - a one-armed man.

  92. G.... S....

    haven't heard this song in aaaages, my gf proved how great she is by buying me a ticket to see maiden in aberdeen, scotland, and i'm hoping this song is on the set list

  93. R.... B....

    no words:-)

  94. H.... L....

    Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark

  95. M.... ....

    Steve Harris is god....

  96. M.... ....

    @TheRedSetterr OK

  97. T.... D....

    @Nadesiko04 Their more modern albums with A Matter Of Life And Death are a lot better I would say than their 90s songs. I would also say that both albums that Blaze worked on with the band are better too!

  98. T.... D....

    @TheEdforce1 Lol I actually thought about the lyrics of this song on a cold October morning when it was frosty on the ground on my way up to school! :D
