How does it feel, runnin' around, 'round, 'round?
How does it feel, watching from upside down?
'Cause many years from now there will be new sensations
And new temptations, how does it feel?

How does it feel, right at the start?
And how does it feel, when you are thrown apart?
'Cause many years from now there will be new elations
And new frustrations, how does it feel?

Do you know, know, know what it's like
To be searchin' in your own time?
All your attempting, experimenting - all on the climb
Do you know, know, know what it's like
To be searching and suddenly find
All your illusion, all your confusion - all left behind?

How doеs it feel turnin' away?
And how does it feel facing another day?
'Cause many yеars from now there will be newer poisons
And new horizons, how does it feel?

Do you know, know, know what it's like
To be searchin' in your own time?
All your attempting, experimenting - all on the climb
Do you know, know, know what it's like
To be searching and suddenly find
All your illusion, all your confusion - all left behind?

'Cause many years from now there will be new tomorrows
And still some sorrows, how does it feel?

Do you know, know, know what it's like
To be searchin' in your own time?
All your attempting, experimenting - all on the climb
Do you know, know, know what it's like
To be searching and suddenly find
All your illusion, all your confusion - all left behind?

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.
