[Verse 1]
These are the days we throw away
The words we never say
That I'm so fragile and so wrong
And we're still knocking on the door
Of a world that's gone before
Until the real thing comes along

[Chorus]
Kiss the day on it's way
And the sun will never shine
In your eyes like the skies
And the darkness will arise
Kiss the day and await
It holds you in it's arms
And the light will never fade
Kiss the day

[Verse 2]
And now I've seen enough to know
Though the truth can leave you cold
It can always lead you home
Back to the place where we belong
To the time when we were strong
When we could blow away the storm

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
These are the days we throw away
The words we never say
Until the real thing comes along

[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.
