Def Leppard - Action! Not Words - lyrics

Im sick and tired of the damn tv
Im gonna make my own movie
I wanna star in a late night show
And all I need is my video
Shock me, make it electric

Shock me, ooh babe I need it fast

Gimme action, action, action not words

Shock me, make a night to remember

Def Leppard - Armageddon It - lyrics

Ya better come inside when youre ready to
But no chance if ya dont wanna dance

You flash your bedroom eyes like a jumpin jack
Then play it pretty with a pat on the back

Pull it, pull it, cmon trigger the gun

Def Leppard - Animal - lyrics

A wild ride, over stony ground
Such a lust for life, the circus comes to town
We are the hungry ones, on a lightning raid
Just like a river runs, like a fire needs flame
I burn for you
I gotta feel it in my blood
Oh whoa
I need your touch don't need your love
Oh whoa
And i want
And i need
And i lust
Animal
And i want
And i need
And i lust
Animal
I cry wolf, given mouth to mouth
Like a movin' heartbeat in the witching hour
I'm runnin' with the wind, a shadow in the dust
And like the drivin' rain
Yeah, like the restless rust
I never sleep
Huh!
Ah!
Cry wolf baby
Cry tough
Gonna hunt you like an, an, an, an, an, animal
Gonna take your love 'n' run
And i want (and i want)
And i need (and i need)
And i lust (and i lust)
Animal (animal)
And i want (take me)
And i need (tame me)
And i lust (make me your...)
Animal (animal)
And i want (show me)
And i need (stroke me)
And i lust
(let me be your...)
Animal (animal)
And i want (i want)
And i need (ooh)
And i lust (yeah animal)
Animal
Oh!
Heh! heh!

Def Leppard - Back In Your Face - lyrics

Hey, hey, hey
Im back in your face like Ive never been away
Im back in your face and its where Im gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, lika a union jack
Im back
Hey, hey
I can stand tall, I can stick out a mile
I can come crawlin like a hungry reptile
Im coming around, Im wired for sound
Shakin it for all its a-worth
Im a spaced-out alien, a techno-sapien crashin on down to earth
Im back in your face like Ive never been away
Im back in your face and its where Im gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
Im back
I can pour your drink and be the perfect host
I can scare the pants off the holiest ghost
Im coming around, Im wired for sound
Shakin it for all its a-worth
Im a spaced-out alien, a techno-sapien
Crashin on down to earth
Im back in your face like Ive never been away
Im back in your face and its where Im gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
Im back
Back in the middle, back in the ring
Backin a winner, its a sure shot thing
Back in your good books I did you no wrong
Here I am honey, I back where I belong
Belong, belong, belong.....
Im back
Well, Im back
Yeah Im back
You better believe that Im back
Now lemme tell you Im back
Cant you see that Im back
Come on and do it, Im back
Theres nothing to it, Im back
Im back in your face like Ive never been away
Im back in your face and its where Im gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
Im back in your face and dont it feel so good
Im back in your face and just like I knew that it would
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
Sheer heart attack and a jumpin jack flash
Like a leader of the pack
And as a matter of fact Im back

Def Leppard - Another Hit 'n' Run - lyrics

Union jack is back with a hole in his head
Hes gettin badly burned every time
Hes laughin at me and dancin on my sneakers
And his sixties songs are blowin up my speakers
I say you got no respect
Respect for authority
Youre just playing your dirty tricks
And then come cryin to me
Hit and run, hit and run
Its just a hit and run
Another hit and run
The bulldog lost his bite and his breath has gone bad
And the whole damn world is really laughin mad
Hit it!!
Oh bring it down
Oh you bring it down
I say you aint got no respect
I say you aint got no respect
No you aint got no respect
And you hit me when Im down
Hit and run, hit and run
Its just another hit and run
I said its just another hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Its just another hit and run
Hit and run

Def Leppard - Beyond The Temple ('78 Demo) - lyrics

Beyond the temple
There lies a tomb with a king from long ago
A traveler from a distant planet
Ten thousand years or so
The legend tells of an agin' man
Whose city he built alone
Till the pirates of our western world
Tore it down stone by stone
The clouds are gettin' heavy
As he points unto the sky
But with the guidance of his finger
He let the lightning fly
So don't turn around, don't turn around
Lightning don't strike twice
Don't turn around, don't turn around
Death is a very high price
He gathered up his people
And he took them underground
To the caves of silvery water
Where they never could be found
The king came to the surface
Could not believe what he had found
The temple left in ruins
His city knocked to the ground
He went back to his people
Sad news he had to tell
The only justice for the king
Was to put these men in hell
So don't turn around, don't turn around
Lightning don't strike twice
Don't turn around, don't turn around
Death is a very high price
His face showing sorrow
His heart full of grief
His life's work in ruins
Destroyed by a thief
His people just sit around
His children just cry
The king's mind is all confused
Just wonderin' why
The temple split in half
And scattered through the desert
The dust had risen in the air
The race of people had to live in devastation
Why wasn't he even there?
Message from the gods to gather up his people
The kingdom couldn't lose them there
That's when all the gods and all are livin' peaceful
Just a galaxy away
The king rose up from underground
To light the darkened sky
Red lights, green lights, blue lights flashing
It seemed a mile high
As it lifted from the ground
And soared into the air
The king looked at what might have been
A world that needed care
A storm had risen quickly
Across the take of hope
Now there's no trace of the king
Just a memory carved in stone
So don't turn around, don't turn around
Lightning don't strike twice
Don't turn around, don't turn around
Death is a very high price
Don't turn around, don't turn around
Lightning don't strike twice
Don't turn around, don't turn around
Death is a very high price

Def Leppard - 21st Century Sha La La La Girl - lyrics

24 hours of every day
Id walk on glass just to hear you say
Gettin it on is like a drug to me
I want you baby, cant you see
Im crashed and Im crushed and Im stuck on you
Id do anything that you want me to
Id crawl on my knees just to get to you
I close my eyes and girl its true
On a psychedelic space machine, galactic sugar high
Like a caffeinated satellite gone way past 99
Come on, be my
21st century girl, all outrageous, quite contagious
21st century, you got solar fire
21st century girl, sweet romancer, cosmic dancer
21st century sha la la la girl
Kiss this, youre blowin my mind
Never say never, but Im takin my time
Girl to the world from the a to the z
I fall for you so easily
Catch my breath cause I know too well
That I just cant control myself
Realize we synchronize
Its only when I close my eyes
On a psychedelic space machine, galactic sugar high
Like a caffeinated satellite gone way past 99
Come on, be my
21st century girl, all outrageous, quite contagious
21st century, you got solar fire
21st century girl, sweet romancer, cosmic dancer
21st century, shes high on flying
Flying, flying
You take me up, you set me free
No time to breathe, just zero g
High, still flying, no gravity
Shes flying
On a psychedelic space machine, galactic sugar high
Like a caffeinated satellite gone way past 99
Come on, be my
21st century girl, all outrageous, quite contagious
21st century, you got solar fire
21st century girl, sweet romancer, cosmic dancer
21st century, high on flying
21st century, sha la la la girl
Shes a 21st century, sha la la la girl
21st century, sha la la la girl
Shes a 21st century sha la la la girl

Def Leppard - Answer To The Master - lyrics

When the night time unfolds
And the memories that you hold
Bring a light to your eyes
Though you know its disguise
When the night turns to day
You turn around and say
Magic mirror please tell
Is this heaven or hell?
Answer to the master
Can you look to the sky?
Can you live through your lie?
Of the thoughts you cant trace
Which time cant erase
To a face on the wall
Do you often recall
What you said on the night
When the new full moon was rising?
Answer to the master
Oh yeah
When the night time unfolds
And the memories that you hold
Bring a light to your eyes
Though you know its disguise
When the night turns to day
And you turn around and say
Magic mirror please tell
Is this heaven or hell?
Answer to the master
Answer to the master

Def Leppard - Billy's Got A Gun - lyrics

Billys got a gun, hes on the run
Confusion in his mind, the blind leads the blind
Oh, billys got a gun, hes gonna shoot ya down
Hes got evil in his eyes, got a reason to despise
Theres danger in the air
Can you feel it in the air
Theres danger in the air, danger
Such a strange emotion
Can you feel it in the air
Oh he was locked inside a room without a door
His innocence he suffered for
In a world of black and white, they were wrong and he was right
Just looking for a clue, its a nightmare come true
Hes going underground to track that danger down
Oh billy, hey why you got that gun?
Can you feel it in the air
Theres danger in the air, danger
Such a strange emotion
Can you feel it in the air
Oh billy
Never give him an even break
Gettin caught is the chance you take
It could be your last mistake
You could be so helpless
As a bird with a broken wing
Like a sheep in a lions den
Gonna fall but you wont know when
Hes gonna get you
You hear footsteps in the night, see shadows on the wall
And the ghostly sound of silence, as the mist begins to fall
Then a scream rang out like thunder, but the lightning was too late
As the rain came down on the crimson ground
It was the hand of fate
And a crowd of people gathered round, but billy couldnt wait
Can you feel it in the air
Theres danger in the air, danger
Such a strange emotion
Can you feel it in the air?
Yeah, billys on the run
Oh, you better run
Never gave him an even break, better run
Gettin caught is the chance you take, you better run
It could be your last mistake
Yeah billys got a gun
As a bird with a broken wing, oh billy
Like a sheep in a lions den, oh billy
Gonna fall but you wont know when, yeah billys out
Hes gonna get you
Bang bang

Def Leppard - Action - lyrics

So you think youll take another piece of me to satisfy your intellectual need.
(do you want...)
Do you want action?
(action, action, action)
Gonna bring you down cause youre pushin me, you gotta recognize my superiority.
(liar, liar, liar, liar.)
You know you believed it.
(liar, liar, liar, liar.)
Cause Im the main man.
And thats why
Evrybody wants a piece of the action.
Evrybody needs a main attraction.
I got what evrybody needs, satisfaction guaranteed.
Evrybody wants a piece of the action.
Oo, I was suicidal cause she was my idol.
Baby, baby, baby bring it to your knees!
Now there was a time I would have walked the line
(dont you bring me down.)
With your insatiable greed
Do you want action, action?
Evrybody wants, evrybody needs
Evrybody wants, evrybody needs
