Iron Maiden - Women In Uniform (1980)

What a friggin' catchy number the title track is! It should be a classic-rock radio staple for the middle of the afternoon when you hit that mid-work lethargic pull into indifference and sleep beckons like the sirens of old to randy old sea dogs...not that I would know anything about that, in fact I'm just assuming that the analogy is sound. That fatigue, that's basically the moment reality sets in. You stop kidding yourself, and your body and mind realize that you could be doing a million better things than be at work, and well, it's frankly depressing and depression causes stress which causes fatigue, and thus the quotidian lethargy.

I love the Paul D'ianno-era Iron Maiden and this rippin' little e.p. is exactly one of the reasons why.
