[Lyrics]

Walking through the city
Looking oh so pretty
I've just got to find my way
See the ladies flashing
All their legs and lashes
I've just got to find my way

Well you see me crawling through the bushes
With it open wide What you seeing girl?
Can't you believe that feeling, can't you believe it?
Can't you believe your eyes? It's the real thing girl

Got me feeling myself and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around

Got me feeling myself and reeling a...
Got me talking but nothing's with me...
Got me feeling myself and reeling around

Walking through the city
Looking oh so pretty
I've just got to find my way
See the ladies flashing
All their legs and lashes
I've just got to find my way

Well you see me crawling through the bushes
With it open wide What you seeing girl?
Can't you believe that feeling, can't you believe it?
Can't you believe your eyes? It's the real thing girl

Got me feeling myself and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around

'Prowler' is a song from Iron Maiden's album ''Iron Maiden'',released in 1980.

'Prowler' is a very special song for us. When we made the Soundhouse Tapes we took the actual tape to Neal Kay who was a D.J. in north London. He used to have a heavy metal chart which was compiled from record requests and printed in the magazine Sounds. 'Prowler' got to be number one just from requests for the demo tape. That's why we had the tape made into a record, because so many kids were asking us how hey could get hold of the demo tapes.(Steve Harris)

Despite being about a sicko who likes to lurk in the shadows and flash women, this song has an incredibly catchy tune. The lyrics are somewhat shallow and probably reflect what most Rock bands were mainly singing about at that time although this hasn't changed much nowadays! It is however a very good song thanks to its melody and raw power. It was first recorded on the legendary Soundhouse Tapes, but this album version is re-recorded at a faster tempo and is far superior to the Soundhouse version. Its instrumental and guitar solo are great, making it one of the most enjoyable songs on the album.

"Prowler" was re-recorded in 1988 and aptly titled "Prowler '88" for the B-side of the The Evil That Men Do single.

'Iron Maiden', released on April 14, 1980, is the debut album by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden.Every song on this album except 'Strange World' has since been recorded by the Dickinson-fronted line-up of the band, either on live albums, on studio B-Sides, or both.
