O novo álbum do Edguy, "Space Police: Defenders Of The Crown", traz na faixa "England" uma homenagem de Tobias Sammet para Steve Harris, Bruce Dickinson e o Iron Maiden.
Na música que fala sobre a Inglaterra, Tobias compara a terra da rainha com outros lugares e diz que nada se compara ao país, pois lá há Steve Harris, Bruce Dickinson e o Iron Maiden! Ouça a faixa!
"England's got Steve Harris and if that wasn't enough for you / England's got Bruce Dickinson and of on top of it - the other ones... and Iron Maiden too, yes it's true!"
EDGUY - ENGLAND
Space Police: Defenders Of The Crown - 2014
Music & Lyrics by Tobias Sammet
It's been a long time since I've been with you
You may be grey-green
but matchless and wide
I wanted to sniff every inch of you
Went to Birmingham New Street
to take a ride
Over aqueducts on a suspiciously panting train
High on Diesel fumes I pondered on my way
I may like New York, Bavaria or Paris
But nothing compares to you, England
Cause England's got Steve Harris
England, I know
I may have explained it somewhere before
but I swear it wasn't my idea
to contrive that silly way
Okay, I've got to admit
this was, uhm, an improper try of a joke
but it rhymed and talking humour:
You've got to know I'm just anosser (wtf?!) German bloke
Who loves afternoon tea?
and Bob Catley and Mr. Bean
WHo loves to buy miniature phone booths
and cute little snow globes raining snow
On a cute little queen
Mostly you're jolly
At times you're frustrated, England
Then rest assured:
I also think penalty shootouts are highly overrated
Vienna has got Mozart
Chopin they had in Paris (kind of)
The Catholics got the Pope
England's got the Beatles
and even more so:
England's got Steve Harris
(solo)
England's got Steve Harris
and if that wasn't enough for you
England's got Bruce Dickinson
and of on top of it - the other ones
and Iron Maiden too, yes it's true
Vienna's got the Mozart ball
The Frenchies they got Paris
In Rome they got the pope
who in turn they don't have in England
but England's got Steve Harris
I may like New York, Bavaria or Paris
But nothing compared to you, England
Cause you got the magic bullet
England's got Steve Harris
(spoken)
England - inventors of Def Leppard
Shakespeare
Indian food, Gary Lineker
That bloke who did away with Braveheart
Et cetera.. and so forth.. good night.
