The most discussed and controversial Cult TV
Series ever made.
With the long running series "Danger Man" (Secret
Agent in the US) Holding no further scope for
development, Patrick McGoohan decided to quit from
the series. This sudden and unalterable decision
from McGoohan enraged ITC and its owner, Lew
Grade, as the latest colour episodes had only been
running for 2 weeks.
However when McGoohan suggested ITC fund a new spy
series Grade agreed as he had always looked upon
McGoohan as the "Golden Child" of ITC.
McGoohan felt that "Danger Man" had ran its course
but the character of John Drake was worthy of
further development in another format. This was
therefore the original concept of "The Prisoner"

I'm on the run kill to eat
You're starving now you're dead on your feet
Going all the way nature's beast
Do what I want and do as I please
Run fight to breathe it's tough
Now you see me now you don't
Break the walls I'm coming out
Not a prisoner I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going ... out
If you kill me it's self defense
If I kill you then I call it vengeance
Spit in your eye I will defy
You'll be afraid when I call out your name
Run fight to breathe it's tough
Now you see me now you don't
Break the walls I'm coming out
Not a prisoner I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going ... out
I'm not a number I'm a free man
I'll live my life how I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
Cos I'll run rings round you Tags :IronMaidenlivePrisonerRockClassicsEnglandCliveBurr80'sHeavyMetal
