Def Leppard Album

(Savage/Clark/Elliott)

Well, in the middle of the night 
And the early morning light 
You can hear them a million miles away 
They'll be bangin' on their drums 
Bangin' on your door 
Waving their flags telling you to score 
Watch out for the rock brigade - rock brigade 
Oh, no it's the rock brigade - rock brigade 
Look out for the rock brigade 
Leading you away, away 

So when they hit your town 
You'd better get down 
I'm telling no lies to you mister 
'Cos they live for rock'n'roll 
They'll try to steal your soul 
Might even try to steal your sister 
Oh 

Repeat Chorus 

So in the middle of the night 
Or the early morning light 
If you hear them comin' your way 
Well you'd better watch your step 
Don't step out of line 
'Cos here they come one more time 

Watch out for the rock brigade - rock brigade 
Oh no it's the rock brigade - rock brigade 
Look out for the rock brigade - rock brigade 
You better watch out for the rock brigade - rock brigade 

I say watch out for the rock brigade - rock brigade 
Keep your eyes on the rock brigade - rock brigade 
Don't let your eyes off the rock brigade - rock brigade 
They'll be leading you away, away, away

(Savage/Clark/Willis/Elliott)

Your always pretending to be 
Someone who prefers to be free 
You think you can fool me with your lying eyes 
But what is this game that you play 
When all that your trying to say 
Is that your lonely, in need of a friend 

Oh yeah, sorrow woman 
I just can't seem to get to you 
Oh yeah sorrow woman 
If only you could see you as I do 

And can't you see that it's true 
There's someone as lonely as you 
Trying so hard, so hard to get through 
And why can't everyone see 
The way that it really should be 
Why hide your feelings and suffer the pain 

Repeat Chorus 

You know that sorrow is a woman 
You know that she'll make you feel sad 
You know that sorrow is a woman 

Repeat Chorus

(Willis/Elliott)

Who's the one to knock me over 
Who's the one to take me by surprise 
Who's the one who's out to get me 
Who will share my fantasy tonight 

It could be you 
It could be me 
It could be anyone 
It could be you 
It could be me 
It could be you 
It could be anyone 

Do you really know the story? 
Have you really come to see the band? 
Can you reach out for the glory? 
Can you feel the nearness of my hand? 

It could be you 
It could be me 
It could be anyone 

If you look a little harder 
You can see we're really all the same 
And if you look a little deeper 
Can't you see it's really all a game? 

It could be you 
It could be me 
It could be anyone 
It could be you 
It could be me 
It could be you 
It could be anyone 

(Savage/Clark/Willis/Elliott)

Midnight, bright light, shining from the sky 
Circulating round the earth, trying to catch your eye 
Lowdown, showdown, trying to break away 
Stay on course, feel the force, careful what you say 

Whoah 
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah can't you feel that it's real? 
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah set your sights on the satellite 

Me and you, rendezvous, we've got to take the chance 
I'm paralyzed, I'm hypnotized, I'm in some kinda trance 
Hazy, crazy, this things lost control 
It's got the power, it's got the strength to steal away your soul 

Whoah 
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah can't you feel that it's real? 
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah set your sights on the satellite 

It's burning up the sky 
It's burning up the sky 
Yes it's burning, yes it's burning 
Can't you see that it's burning? 
Can't you see that it's burning? 
It's burning up the sky 
Can't you see that it's burning? 

Midnight, bright light, shining from the sky 
Circulating round the earth, trying to catch your eye 
Lowdown, showdown, trying to break away 
Stay on course feel the force, careful what you say 

Whoah 
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah can't you feel that it's real? 
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah set your sights on the satellite 

(Clark/Elliott/Smith)

On the first day of the first month 
In some distant year 
The whole sky froze golden 
Some said it was the aftermath 
Of the radium bomb 
While others told of a final retribution 
A terrible revenge of the gods 

But we understood the grand finale 
Fulfillment of a prophecy told many years before 
So all that was left was: 
All the women were captured and chained 
And national suicide was proclaimed 
And New America fell to the ground 
And all the children lay crippled and lame 
But all the nations came together 
In fear of the thought of the end 
No more would we fight in the streets 
No courage had we to defend 

When the walls came tumbling down 
When the walls came tumbling down 
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound 
When the walls came tumbling down 
When the walls came tumbling down 
When the walls came tumbling down 
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound 

A blinding light the sun had died 
A new moon took its place 
Tidal waves, and open graves the fate of the unhuman race 
The city's heart no longer beats no pity have I left to lend 
A sinner sits reciting Dylan its now that I welcome the end 

Repeat Chorus 

Repeat Chorus 

Nobody made a sound 
(Down down down) 
Down!

(Clark/Elliott)

Well I've been lying awake all night 
Just thinking of you 
But a bottle of whiskey lies heavy obstructing my view 
I've got a bottle of pills to give me my thrills 
And I know that I'm leading a life that kills 

Wasted - I've wasted my time 
Wasted - I'm shooting a line 
Wasted - I'm stuck in a hole 
Wasted - I'm losing control 

And I've been meaning to call, I've been wanting to phone 
You see I don't like the thought of leaving you here alone 
Well I've seen things down here that are fit for a queen 
I've seen things down here that should never be seen 

Wasted - I've wasted my money 
Wasted - I've wasted you honey 
Wasted - I'm out of my brain 
Wasted - I'm going insane 

I'm running in thin air 
There's nothingness everywhere 

I've gotta get out - Won't you help me? 
I've gotta get out - Won't you help me? 
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me get out? 

I thought I saw you just the other day 
But it couldn't be you 'cos you had nothing to say 
'He's going away', they told all my friends 
Well now I'll be stuck in here til the misery ends 

Wasted - I've wasted my time 
Wasted - I'm shooting a line 
Wasted - I'm out of my head 
Wasted - I wish I was dead 

(Willis/Savage/Clark/Elliott)

Well we were gettin' ready just the other night 
When a knock on the dressing room door 
Gave way to a leather jacket little girl 
Who we'd never ever seen before 

In her red satin dress 
And her high heeled shoes 
She took us all by surprise 
And when she asked us what we wanted to do 
She said it with her eyes 
Just getcha rocks off 
Whoah 

Well when we finally took the stage 
There she was but she wasn't on her own 
'Cos she'd brought some friends maybe 5 or 6 
Yeah, she must have been on the phone 

And when they started dancing and jumping around 
Well we couldn't believe our eyes 
'Cos they'd got the whole damn audience rockin' 
And they'd got us paralyzed 

Just getcha rocks off 

Thank you 
Goodnight 
Whoah 

(Willis/Clark/Elliott)

Now in your big flash motor and your wild reputation 
You're ready to hit the streets 
Winking at the boys, yeah heading for the noise 
Got the world at your feet 
If leaving me for dead with a pistol at my head 
Is your idea of how I'd feel 
Well let me tell you honey 'fore you spend all of your money 
I got my hands firmly on the wheel 

It don't matter 
It don't matter 
It don't matter to me 
It don't matter 
It don't matter 
It don't matter to me 

Back street lover in the cold of the evening 
Takes you to a place he knows 
Says, it will be fine better make up your mind 
You've cut it deep and now it shows 
It's way past midnight and your traveling through the city 
You're wondering what you should do 
Well baby can't you see that you've had enough of me 
And I've certainly had enough of you 

Repeat Chorus 

Repeat Chorus 

Repeat Chorus 

It doesn't matter 
It doesn't matter 
It doesn't matter 

(Willis/Clark/Savage/Elliott)

When the night time unfolds 
And the memories that you hold 
Bring a light to your eyes 
Though you know it's 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 can't trace 
Which time can't 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 it's 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 

(Savage/Clark/Willis/Elliott)

And with this message 
That I bring to you 
A beacon of light 
To see you through 
For time is on our side 
And a holy man 
Does say to me 
To always to be blind 
And never to see 
It's not the way he planned it 

Oh no 
The time has come to gather up your thoughts 
For you have said your piece 
The lords of light will change this land 
From famine into feast 
The buildings that once stood tall 
Have crumbled to the ground 
The silver warriors who came in force 
Are nowhere to be found 

Time is the essence the priests do say 
To restore your faith in man 
For the job you do and the role you play 
Will help rebuild this land 
Through empty streets and dusty fields 
We'll fight for what we need 
Protected by our swords and shields 
We can replant the seed 

The roads ahead are long and winding 
On which the bandits thrive 
But we have the power of finding 
Illusion to keep us alive 
So through the valleys and over the hills 
We'll march and sing in rhyme 
We'll fight until we lose our will 
For essence is our time 

The sun the moon 
The darkened sky 
The morning dew 
Reflecting in my eye 
The rising mist 
The dampened earth 
Are just reminders of what life's worth 

Whoah yeah 
Whoah yeah 
Whoah yeah 

And with this message 
That I bring to you 
A beacon of light 
To see you through 
For time is on our side 
For time is the essence
