Songwriter: Phil Collen

I'm lost in imagination
Still contemplate animation
I just groove on your breathing
I do it all for you

You've got a problem witcha boyfriend
He don't squeeze you right
He got you facedown and waiting, baby
Keep you waiting all night
So do me a favour

Won't you
Move with me slowly
Get too close to me
Move with me slowly
Just like we're meant to be
Just like we're meant to be

Hey say sister
You're dreaming
You got stars in your eyes
A little conscious behavior
Is gonna cut
You down to size

You hear me knocking
So let me in
When your blood runs cold
And your love wears thin
It's over passion
It's under the skin
If love ain't a miracle
It sure ain't a sin
So let me in

Take me to the city
Take me on my knees
Take me anyway
You find me baby
I've got this love disease
And there ain't nothin'
I can do

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.
