This song is called Breadfan by the band Budgie. Budgie are not technically considered NWOBHM but what they hell, they deserve the recognition. They are a great band. You can hear Metallica cover this songs on many live bootlegs and Garage Inc.

Artist: Budgie. Title: Hammer And Tongs. Album: In For the Kill. Year: 1974.

Formed in 1967, their original line-up consisted of Burke Shelley (b. John Burke Shelley, 10 April 1947, Tiger Bay, Cardiff, South Glamorgan, Wales) on bass guitar and vocals, Tony Bourge (b. Anthony James Bourge, 24 November 1948, Tiger Bay, Cardiff, South Glamorgan, South Wales) (guitar, vocals), and Ray Phillips (b. Raymond John Phillips, 1 March 1949, Tiger Bay, Cardiff, South Glamorgan, South Wales (drums).[1] Budgie is often considered as one of the first heavy metal bands, with fast, heavy music (an influence on NWOBHM and even such acts as Metallica) being played as early as 1973, even before bands like Judas Priest. Notable Budgie songs include "Breadfan", "Crash Course in Brain Surgery" and "Napolean Bona-Parts 1 & 2".

From the 1975 album Bandolier There's a light, covers up my doorway Flickering light, never run away And I might, I might be going your way Say who might, might help me on my way Mmm, what a sight, sight to burn the ego Keep you warm and never let go And the light coming my way, Compared to what others have seen Napoleon the strong, he once had it As a sound that was loud in his dream And I stand locked before the four ways Wind and snow, Heaven and I I belong wherever men like that stay I can feel it burning in my eyes And the light coming my way, Compared to what others have seen But Napoleon the strong, he once had it As a sound that was loud in his dream Heavens child, it's driving me wild, Honey, I know that it's right Well, I got this message that makes me feel good Carries me out through the night Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me! Well, I move through life like a hurricane lamp Lighting the road as I go Spreading this music, injecting the light Please let it stay, never go Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me! And I think of napoleon and others before Parallels seem to exist And I follow it, follow it, keep it in sight Napoleon would never have missed Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me!

"Breaking All The House Rules" off Welsh Rock/Metal group Budgie's "Bandolier" album of 1975. One of the most underrated albums and bands of all time... Lyrics: I've been running from a dark horse, I can't lose it I've been calling to an old force, don't excuse it Now I'm in the back and I'm all right Got a mean kinda woman she's outta sight Well I don't mind now sit me with the old fool Out the back door, break the house rules I go looking for my ego, don't explain it Don't want never never leave girl, just sustain it Well I've got a home and it's all right With a mean kinda woman she's outta sight Well I don't know about ripping up the old school No no more breaking all the house rules I got things I wanna do girl,don`t refuse me I don't wanna be a bad boy, you don't rule me Well you knowing me well that's all right When a guy's gotta live and he's outta sight I just wanna leave everything paid for Feeling good that it's our thing girl It's obscene Well here we go, I got things I wanna do girl,don`t refuse me I don't wanna be a bad boy, you don't just rule me Well I'm neat neat well that's alright With a kind kinda woman she's outta sight I just wanna beat everything you throw me You don't think that that's obscene? Yes it is.
