Burn OutDef Leppard

Songwriter: Joe Elliott Phil Collen Rick Allen Richard Savage Vivian Campbell

Producer: Def Leppard Pete Woodroffe

Friday night and I crashed your party
Saturday night and I crashed your car
Sunday night when you threw me out
Couldn't believe I even got that far

Look out of your bedroom window
And tell me what you see
Who's that standing in the shadows
Oh baby you belong to me, yeah

Place your bets cause I got a good feeling
Hey over there, are you lookin' my way
Electrified like a shock to the system
You walk right through my DNA

If you could just walk for a mile in my shoes
If you don't lose your mind you got no mind to lose

Bang bang gonna shoot you down
I got me a gun but I gotta get a better one
Sweatin' hard, buzzing like a fly
Like a, like a thief with a water-tight alibi
High hopes are sinking like a stone
I swallow my pride but I'm choking on a fishbone
Oh my, I gotta try, so step right up

I'll give you what you want
It's what you need
You know I'm gonna give you what you want
And what you need, yeah

Head over heels and it's making me nervous
Get on my knees and it's making me worse
There's no way out so I pay lip-service
If this thing is bigger than the both of us

If you could just walk for a mile in my shoes
If you don't lose your mind you got no mind to lose

Bang bang gonna shoot you down
I got me a gun but I gotta get a better one
Sweatin' heart, buzzing like a fly
Like a, like a thief with a water-tight alibi
High hopes are sinking like a stone
I swallow my pride but I'm choking on a fishbone
Oh my, I gotta try, so step right up

I'll give you what you want
It's what you need
You know I'm gonna give you what you want
And what you need, yeah

Bang bang gonna shoot you down
I got me a gun but I gotta get a better one
Oh my, I gotta try, so step right up

I'll give you what you want
It's what you need
You know I'm gonna give you what you want
And what you need, yeah

You know I'm gonna give you what you want
You know I'm gonna give you what you want
You know I'm gonna give you what you want
And what you need, yeah

Def Leppard

In 1977, Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Willis were students at a secondary school in Sheffield, England. They had a band called Atomic Mass. Lead singer Joe Elliott joined later that year, and suggested a new band name. Within 10 years, that name, Def Leppard, became one of the most recognised in English rock music. To date, they have released more than 40 singles.

Def Leppard was a definitive part of the new wave of British heavy metal bands in the late 1970s. Their first three albums had tremendous momentum, each outselling the one before. Then, after the release of Pyromania in 1983, drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. The band stuck by him through his recovery and retraining.

When Def Leppard came back, they came back hard. Their fourth album, 1987’s Hysteria, was a hard rock masterpiece that took the world by storm. By then the music video had matured as a film style, and Hysteria’s singles and videos had enough pop, sex, colour, and glam to put it over the top. Hysteria was one of the biggest-selling albums of the 1980s.
