Bruce Dickinson - Riding With The Angels Lyrics






Katie was a kid, I guess she hid her thoughts from everyone
Went to school at eight, she was never late
Didn't know the meaning of fun
Every night Katie prayed to God above
But her daddy gave her everything but love

She woke up one day, said: "I'm on my way"
Her mummy read the letter, It did say:
"I'm on my way, I'm on my way"

Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels
She's having fun, fun, fun
She's having fun, fun, fun

Rode around and every boy in town tried to win her back
It was no go, cause she rode with Joe, he was the leader of the pack
People ran for cover when they rolled to town
The night was black, rain on the ground

Engines scream, running too fast
They knew the ride would be there last
They're on their way, on their way

Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels
She's having fun, fun, fun
She's having fun, fun, fun

Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels
Riding with the angels

Riding with the angels
She's having fun, fun, fun
She's having fun, fun, fun

Riding with the angels
She's having fun, fun, fun
She's having fun, fun, fun

Bruce Dickinson Riding With The Angels Comments
  1. V.... R....

    Nessa banda só tem uma guitarra, então o Janick tem que tocar pra valer, mas no Maiden ele fica de putaria

    V.... R....

    Não diga isso jovem.... Não diga isso...

  2. t.... a....

    Actually Samson

  3. F.... ....

    Nice cover but worse than Heretic's version!

  4. t.... 1....

    This song shows how absurdly long tours with Maiden wrecked his voice.

    t.... 1....

    That's Samson not maiden

  5. P.... P....

    Does have a Deep Purple Highway Star feel to it. Not sensing the Two Minutes to Midnight comparison.... errr...

  6. S.... ....

    He looked so good with long hair, should never have cut it...

  7. S.... R....

    So sexy!

  8. S.... ....

    Love Bruce...but WHAT a difference between the 1981 version and this. It’s like an octave lower. Bruce’s voice in the beginning was UNREAL!! But you can’t be expected to keep that level of vocals up for years and years with all the touring and stuff, I know. Just citing the huge difference.

    S.... ....

    SonnyGTA He's actually singing it in the same octave here. : )

    S.... ....

    @Jordan Kowalski he isn't going for the high note on the chorus. But you have to do what you have to do when you do a ton of shows.

  9. S.... ....

    Ugh. Jannick and his noise making Guitar playing. Awful.

    S.... ....

    SonnyGTA what?! He is great guitarist 😉

  10. R.... K....

    is this bruce's solo project or samson reunion kinda?

    R.... K....

    Russel Keith, it is Bruces solo project.

  11. s.... ....

    The scream for me voice is evident here for all too see...

  12. A.... ....

    2 minutes riding with the angels

  13. F.... M....

    I miss golden old days....

  14. I.... B....

    Gers is so damn sloppy.

    I.... B....

    Jan is a rock n roller. Not a bad one but for Bruce and for especially Maiden it didn't work. Clarity and skill has never been up to the parr required so he must be that good of a 'bloody good bloke' to still be in the fold

    I.... B....

    Ink Black oh yeah. He drags the Guitar along a pole and just makes noise with it. Just noise.

    I.... B....

    I stopped listening to Maiden when he joined.

    I.... B....

    OpnDoarPlcy - that's a very bad example as Bruce always did that, because he likes Janick as a person. It's a part of the show and on-stage performance. The better example would be in "Bring your daughter to the slaughter" official video where Bruce comes to Dave and is astounded with Janick's solo.

    Being a guitar player for over 12 years I have to say one thing: Janick IS very sloppy guys. I'm no genious or anything, but I can definitely play better solos than him when it comes to ARTICULATION. He's not a bad musician as he had come up with some great riffs and licks on many IM albums. He just focuses too much on a show performance and messes things up. His notes are unclear. I get the solo in Holy Smoke where he was just making fun, yet compare his tone to Dave's or Adrian's. No competition. He just is very sloppy and only if you've played that instrument to a certain level, you will understand what I'm stating here.

    No, I don't play in Iron Maiden or any of the legendary bands, yet I can definitely play a clean arpeggio live during jam session. Janick doesn't give a fuck about the sound, which makes him sloppy. I respect some of his work, yet only a few solos are good. Even on Rock In Rio, during one of his best solos on Brave New World there was an editing! I saw a version where he did mess up thet melody in the end of the entire solo. He's a great guy, which don't focus too much on the sound...and that's a sin when it comes to instrument. Good guitar player, but not brilliant. I'd definitely like to play a jam with him though :D Must be really fun.

    I.... B....

    Stefano Magaddino than you aren't maiden fan Jan is amazing

  15. I.... B....

    Gers sucks - sloppy with a crap tone.

  16. V.... ....

    Louise Kennedy Carroll.. Saxon or Samson ?

  17. L.... ....

    Louise Kennedy Carroll, the band was actually called Samson. Saxon are another NWOBHM band from the period.

  18. M.... ....

    Bruce sure looked better with long hair, and dresses better back in the 80's and 90's.

    M.... ....

    I think so too.

    M.... ....

    Yes off course Bruce with long hair looked better

  19. �.... �....

    Заебись!!!!

  20. F.... C....

    Half Maiden performing !

  21. O.... ....

    Cool song but it does sound a bit too much like Two Minutes.

    O.... ....

    And the Highway Star was the first, earlier than Riding haha!! But brilliant songs all of them, no question.

    O.... ....

    +OpnDoarPlcy,

    I should add, at no point did OpnDoarPlcy imply that 2 Minutes was written first (just that they both sound similar).

    O.... ....

    @Buuzzsaw Touched Me the "too much" part implied it. But yeah, doesn't matter.

    O.... ....

    +
    Lords of October Official,


    You've confused me, as if "too much" did imply anything, it implies that 2 minutes was written first.


    But I was correcting someone else that tried to correct the original comment.

    O.... ....

    @Buuzzsaw Touched Me I read it in the way that someone implies one came before the other...so if someone said, "Night of the Living Dead is cool, but it's too much like "The Walking Dead". Obviously, that would need to be switched around.
    But I mean, I don't really care. Both great songs.

  22. J.... T....

    Bruce sings and petforms very well. Why did he sing so badly at the album no prayer for the dying

    J.... T....

    What?no prayer for the dying is fucking great

    J.... T....

    Are u kidding me? Just listen to Holy Smoke!! It's amaazing

    J.... T....

    Jan Trabold , because No Prayer is à real bullshit !!!!!!!

  23. l.... k....

    r.... ....

    Riding With The Angels was written by the underappreciated Russ Ballard formerly of Argent. Among the great rock tunes he's composed: Since You've Been Gone, New York Groove, I Know There's Something Going On, Into The Night, etc. and all covered by other artists.
