[Verse 1]
All or nothing women take it all away
In for the kill, there's blood on the water
Its flowing your way now
I don't know nothing
But I know its a long way down
The king of the hill, you reach for the sky
You're losing your crown
You tell it to the one
You tell it to the sun
You tell it to the friends who come and gone
You tell it to the yourself yeah yeah again and again

[Chorus]
Got to let it go
Got to let it go
Yeah, you run away
Got to let it go
Got to let it go
You run away, let it go

[Verse 2]
You came out of nothing
Crawling out of history
The man of the hour
You done the time you hold the key
And there was something
Something just beyond your reach
The bigger the prize, the more you desire
The less you can feel
You do it for yourself
There's really no one else
Another empty picture on the shelf
You're hanging all alone
Yeah, again and again

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
All you wanted, all you needed, all you got and

[Chorus]

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.
