Pyromania

Def Leppard

℗ 1983 Vertigo Records VERS 2

Def Leppard • 1983 • Pyromania

While DEF LEPPARD had obviously wanted to write big-sounding anthems on their previous records, «Pyromania» was where the band's vision coalesced and gelled into something more. More than ever before, the band's songs on «Pyromania» are driven by catchy, shiny melodic hooks instead of heavy guitar riffs, although the latter do pop up once in a while. But it wasn't just this newly intensified focus on melody and consistent songwriting (and heavy MTV exposure) that made «Pyromania» a massive success — and the catalyst for the '80s pop-metal movement. Robert John "Mutt" Lange's buffed-to-a-sheen production — polished drum and guitar sounds, multi-tracked layers of vocal harmonies, a general sanding of any and all musical rough edges, and a perfectionistic attention to detail — set the style for much of the melodic hard rock that followed. It wasn't a raw or spontaneous sound, but the performances were still energetic and committed. Leppard's quest for huge, transcendent hard rock perfection on «Pyromania» was surprisingly successful; their reach never exceeded their grasp, which makes the album an enduring (and massively influential) classic. — Steve Huey.

Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)

Hold onto your hat, hold onto your heart 
Ready, get set to tear this place apart 
Don't need a ticket, only place in town 
That'll take you up to heaven and never bring you down 
Anything goes, anything goes 

Women to the left, omen to the right 
There to entertain and take you thru the night 
So grab a little heat and come along with me 
Cause your mama don't mind what your mama don't see 
Anything goes, anything goes 

I said rock rock till you drop 
Rock rock never stop 
Rock rock till you drop 
I say rock rock to the top 

Ridin' into danger, laughin' all the way 
Fast, free and easy, livin' for today 
Gotta lip service, get it while you can 
Hot, sweat 'n' nervous love on demand 
Anything goes, anything goes 
All night long 

I said rock rock till you drop 
Come on rock rock never stop 
You gotta rock rock till you drop 
I say rock rock to the top 

Rock rock give it to me 
It's what I got goin' thru' me 
Don't ever stop do it to me 
Yeah, rock rock you really move me 

Here we go 
Rock rock till you drop 
Rock rock never stop 
Come on and rock rock till you drop 
We gonna rock until you drop 
Gonna take you to the top 

Rock rock till you drop

I'm outa luck, outa love 
Gotta photograph, picture of 
Passion killer, you're too much 
You're the only one I wanna touch 
I see your face every time I dream 
On every page, every magazine

You're all I want, my fantasy 

Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown 
Oh oh, look what you've done

But it's not enough 

I'd be your lover, if you were there 
Put your hurt on me, if you dare 
Such a woman, you got style 
You make every man feel like a child, oh 
You got some kinda hold on me 
You're all wrapped up in mystery 
So wild so free and far from me 
You're all I want, my fantasy 

Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown 
Oh oh, look what you've done

Stagefright [live]

I said welcome to my show 
It's just a-you and me baby 
We got the whole damn night to go 

You're holding out on me, while I'm on fire 
If you can't stand the heat, then you should try 
Victim of my vices, you know you are 
You skate on ice to paradise, stairway to the stars 

Stagefright all night, won't you let go 
All night Stagefright, on with the show 

You come on like a lady dressed to kill 
Never thought you could be caught, but you will 
A little understanding, a little love 
A headline act around the back, is what I'm thinkin' of 

Stagefright all night, won't you let go 
All night stagefright, on with the show 
Stagefright all night, you're dream starts today 
All night Stagefright, is only a heartbeat away 

You're going for my head, you're going down 
Gettin' good at being bad, you're hangin' round 
A fun inspired asylum, toys for the boys 
Love on the rocks, forget-me-nots, you got no change 

Stagefright all night, oh won't you let go 
All night stagefright, get on with the show 
Stagefright all night, you're dream starts today 
All night Stagefright, is only a heartbeat away 

Stagefright all night, oh won't you let go 
All night stagefright, get on with the show

Too Late for Love

Somewhere in the distance I hear the bells ring
Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing
And the lady 'cross the street she shuts out the night
There's a cast of thousands waiting as she turns out the light

But it's too late, too late, too late
Too late for love
Yes it's too late, too late, too late
Too late for love

London boys are gazing as the girls go hand in hand
With a pocket full of innocence, their entrance is grand
And the queen of the dream stands before them all
She stretches out her hand as the curtains start to fall

But it's too late, too late, too late
Too late for love
Yes it's too late, too late, it's too late
Too late for love

Standing by the trapdoor aware of me and you
Are the actor and the clown they're waiting for their cue
And there's a lady over there she's acting pretty cool
But when it comes to playing life she always plays the fool

But it's too late, too late, it's too late
Too late for love
It's too late, it's too late, too late
Too late for love

Is it all too late
Much too late
Can't you see it's all too late
It's too late

But it's too late, too late, it's too late
Too late for love
It's too late, it's too late, too late
Too late for love

Die Hard The Hunter

Shotgun
Let's welcome home the soldier boy from far away, far away
No angel of mercy just a need to destroy fire away, fire away
Let's toast the hero with blood in his eyes
The scars on his mind took so many lives
Die hard the hunter

Welcome home soldier boy
Put down your pistol, yeah, put down your toy
Yeah, they can take a gun away from you
But never take away your attitude
They can't do that, no, they can't do that

You got no enemy, no front line
The only battles in the back of your mind
You don't know how to change from bad to good
You brought the war to your neighbourhood
You can't do that, no, you can't do that

Die hard - You're caugh in a trap
Hunter - There's no looking back
Die hard - He's lost in the crowd
Hunter - Die hard and proud

Die hard the hunter
Die hard the hunter
Die hard the hunter
Die hard the hunter

Back in the city, he's a man on the loose
He is the shadow that's following you
He takes no prisoners when he's hunting for game
He's got a bullet and it carries your name
You can't do that, you can't do that
You can't do that

Die hard - You're caught in a trap
Hunter - There's no lookin' back
Die hard - He's lost in the crowd
Hunter - Die hard and proud

Die hard - You're caught in a trap
Hunter - There's no lookin' back
Die hard - He's lost in the crowd
Hunter - Die hard and proud

Die hard the hunter
Die hard the hunter
Die hard the hunter
Die hard the hunter
Die hard the hunter
Die hard the hunter
Die hard the hunter
Die hard the hunter
You can't do that, you can't do that

Foolin'

Lady luck never smiles 
So lend your love to me awhile 
Do with me what you will 
Break the spell take your fill 
On and on we rode the storm 
The flame has died and the fire has gone 
Oh, this empty bed is a night alone 
I realized that long ago 

Is anybody out there, anybody there 
Does anybody wonder, anybody care 

Oh, I just gotta know 
If you're really there and you really care 
Cause baby I'm not 

F-F-F-foolin', ah F-F-foolin' 
F-F-F-foolin', ah F-F-foolin' 
Won't you stay with me awhile 

Close your eyes don't run and hide 
Easy love is no easy ride 
Just wakin' up from what we had 
Could stop good love from going bad 

Is anybody out there, anybody there 
Does anybody wonder, anybody care 

Oh, I just gotta know 
If you're really there and you really care 
Cause baby I'm not 

F-F-F-foolin', ah F-F-foolin' 
F-F-F-foolin', ah F-F-foolin' 

Oh, I just gotta know 
If you're really there and you really care 
Cause baby I'm not 

F-F-F-foolin', ah F-F-foolin' 
Not F-F-F-foolin', ah F-F-foolin' 

I'm not foolin' myself 
I'm not foolin' myself 
I'm not foolin' myself 
I'm not foolin' myself

Comin' under Fire

Your kind of woman gotta heart of stone 
But watch it break when I get you alone 
Take a chance, come lay down with me 
Oh, I wanna make it 

Slow and steady never lost the race 
Don't stop runnin', I'm a fool for the chase 
Play the game, surrender to me 
Baby, I don't wanna fake it 

Is it any wonder, you got me comin' under fire 
Comin' like thunder, you know you make me walk the wire 

It's so easy to put on a show 
Your body says yes but you won't let it go 
But my passion it won't slip away 
Oh I'm not going crazy

Billy's Got a Gun

Billy's got a gun, he's on the run 
Confusion in his mind, the blind leads the blind 
Oh, Billy's got a gun, he's gonna shoot ya down 
He's got evil in his eyes, got a reason to despise 
There's danger in the air 

Can you feel it in the air 
There's 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, it's a nightmare come true 
He's going underground to track that danger down 
Oh Billy, hey why you got that gun? 

Can you feel it in the air 
There's 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 lion's den 
Gonna fall but you won't know when 
He's 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 couldn't wait 

Can you feel it in the air 
There's danger in the air, danger 
Such a strange emotion 
Can you feel it in the air? 
Yeah, Billy's 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 Billy's got a gun 
As a bird with a broken wing, oh Billy 
Like a sheep in a lion's den, oh Billy 
Gonna fall but you won't know when, yeah Billy's out 
He's gonna get you 

Bang bang
