The song was originally recorded and released by Bruce Dickinson for the soundtrack to A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, but Steve Harris liked it so Iron Maiden rerecorded it. It is the only UK N...
[Verse 1]
Honey, it's getting close to midnight
And all the myths are still in town
True love and lipstick on your linen
Bite the pillow, make no sound
If there's some living to be done
Before your life becomes your tomb
You'd better know that I'm the one
Unchain your back door
Invite me around
[Chorus 1]
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Let her go, yeah
[Verse 2]
Honey, it's getting close to daybreak
The sun is creeping in the sky
No patent remedies for heartache
Just empty words and humble pie
So, get down on your knees, honey
Assume an attitude
You just pray that I'll be waiting
'Cause you know, you know I'm coming soon
[Chorus 1]
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
[Bridge]
So, pick up your foolish pride
No going back
Nowhere, no way, no place to hide
Let her go
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 3]
Bring me your daughter
Bring me your daughter
Bring me your daughter
Bring me your daughter
Bring me your daughter
Bring me your daughter
Bring me your daughter
To the slaughter
[Chorus 2]
Bring me your daughter
Fetch your daughter
Bring me your daughter
Fetch your daughter
Bring me your daughter
Fetch your daughter
To the slaughter
[Chorus 1]
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
[Outro]
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Gonna getcha!

Here I tried to sum up what I thought Nightmare on Elm Street movies are really about, and it’s all about adolescent fear of period pains. That’s what I think it is – deep down.
When a young girl first gets her period she bleeds and it happens at night, and so she is afraid to go to sleep and it’s a...
