HEAT STREET
(Released on "First Strike", a
withdrawn CD with demo recordings from 1978/1979)
What can I hear? Who can I see?
What's this I fear that's followin' me?
It's getting louder, it's coming near
I can not stand it, I'm getting outta here
You'd better beware now
You'd better take care now
The street of the sinner
So you'll never be a winner
The rain is falling around my feet
The night is calling on this well-lit street
People in doorways just stand and stare
Cast away shadows that really aren't there
You'd better beware now
You'd better take care now
The street of the sinner
So you'll never be a winner
What can I hear? Who can I see?
What's this I fear that's followin' me?
It's getting louder, it's coming near
I can not stand it, I'm getting outta here
You'd better beware now
Yeah, you'd better take care now
The street of the sinner
So you'll never be a winner
You'll never be a winner
On heat street
SEE THE LIGHTS
(Released on "First Strike", a withdrawn CD with demo
recordings from 1978/1979)
Well I came down here from Manhattan to see the lights on the mall
But when I got here early this morning well I couldn't see any at all
So I walked a little further and much to my surprise
There was a hot cool woman in a Chevy staring into my eyes
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
Alright
She said now don't walk any further just jump into my car
And we can head on down the highway but you'd better not go to far
'Cause my daddy he's big business so we've gotta be back by tonight
But we can still have some fun now if we head on downtown to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
Well we ended up in this cafe 'bout twenty-five minutes to one
See, she took me to this nightclub and the music went on and on
Well we were set down to get coffee when in walked her old man
No matter how we tried to explain it well we couldn't make him understand
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
I've just got to see the lights
Alright

Hello and welcome my friend it's good to see you again
Do you know anything new? Tell me, is this really you
Hey, what's the story in LA, I haven't been there today
It's time we went for a ride, come on and step right inside
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
Darkness our sole destination, daylight our only intention
White lightning brightens the sky can't tell we're flying so high
Rest now and don't be afraid, can't you see we've got it made
Just cause I'm not going far that doesn't mean that we can't reach the star
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
Sad story that look in your eyes, break out before it's too late
Now come and lay down by my side, let all the thoughts slip away
Too many people have waited
Too many problems created
Too many jitterbugs not enough jive
I'm tired of sitting here waiting
We should be out there creating
It's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

MISTY DREAMER / TOMORROW SEEMS LIKE
YESTERDAY
(Released on various bootlegs with live-
& demo recordings from 1979/1980)
The sun that is rising is glistening down on the hill
The pool of confusion is silently still
The thoughts of another keep runnin' through my mind
As I search for the answer, it's never easy to find
The prophet stood on the hill and firmly he gripped his sword
As the angels of wisdom were singing a heavenly chord
So I look back and wonder if I should be asking for more
As a traveller in limbo who's washed up onto the wrong shore
In the morning when I wake up
And the story starts to break up
Then it's plain to see
What's wrong with me
So the curtains they are drawn back
And my mind is simply torn back
To reality, you see, to me, I'm just a misty dreamer
I slipped by the waterslide and I thought I heard my true love
screamin'
So I opened my eyes and shook my head and I realized I was only dreamin'
So close your eyes and drift away
Tomorrow seems like yesterday for you
You concscience guided by a light
Your memory won't be here tonight
The sorrow that eyes are showing
Doesn't hide your spirit flowing
So close your eyes and drift away
Tomorrow seems like yesterday for you
Drift away
Tomorrow seems like yesterday for you
WARCHILD
(Released on various bootlegs with live-
& demo recordings from 1979/1980)
Warchild, your heart is broken
Your mind is breakin', It's such a shame
Warchild
Your body's broken, your woman's taken, it's not a game
People once shared your wisdom, shared your memory, shared
your dreams
Now your thoughts have all been shattered
What once was rhythm are now just screams
Warchild, I used to love you
The whole world loved you, we used to care
Warchild, your mind has been emptied
So all you do now is just sit n' stare
People once shared your wisdom, shared your memory, shared
your dreams
Now your thoughts have all been shattered
What once was rhythm are now just screams
Your lady's waiting, she's hesitating
Not knowing why
Warchild, the pain you're showing
The pain is knowing that you're gonna die
People once shared your wisdom, shared your memory, shared
your dreams
Now your thoughts have all been shattered
What once was rhythm are now just screams

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT
(Released as B-side of "Have You Ever
Needed Someone So Bad"-CD single)
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
As at her feet was a footloose man
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You'll get what you need
I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing "we're gonna vent our frustrations"
"And if we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
Well, you just might find
You'll get what you need
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mister Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, was cherry red
I sung my song to Mister Jimmy
And he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
No no, you can't always get what you want
Oh, you can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You'll get what you need
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her bloodstained hands
Oh, yes I could
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
Yeah, you just might find
You'll get what you need
Oh sugar, you'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah
You'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah
You'll get what you need, yeah yeah yeah
LITTLE WING

Needed Someone So Bad"-CD single. Performed with The Hothouse Flowers.)
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus smile that's running round
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairy tales

She's riding with the wind
When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
It's alright, she says, it's alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything, yeah
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus smile that's running round
Oh, butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
She's riding with the wind, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah little wing

But you knew my name on sight
Whatever came of you and me
America's new bride to be
Don't worry baby I'm safe and sound
Down in the dungeon just Peaches 'n' me
Don't I love her so
Yes you made me live again
A thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky
Where the beams of your lovelight chase
Don't move, don't speak, don't feel no pain
With a rain running down my face
Your matches still light up the sky
And many a tear lives on in my eye
Down in the city just Hoople 'n' me
Vivian Campbell
Whatever came of you and me
I love to leave my memory with you
Now I'm here
Think I'll stay around, around, around, around, around
Down in the city justa you 'n' me
Brian May

Whatever comes of you and me
I love to leave my memory with you
Thank you, see you soon, alright?
Brian May!
Enjoy the rest of the evening, alright? See ya.
WHEN LOVE & HATE COLLIDE (ORIGINAL
DEMO)
(Released as B-side of "When Love &
Hate Collide"-CD single)
You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Instead of slamming down the phone, girl
For the hundredth time
I got your number on my wall
But I ain't gonna make that call
When divided we stand, baby
United we fall
Got the time, got a chance, gonna make it
Got my hands on your heart, gonna take it
Whoh, I can't fight this flame
You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby
Time after time
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't know what we're fighting for
When we treat eachother, baby
Like an act of war
I could tell a million lies
And it would come as no surprise
When the truth is like a stranger
Hits you right between the eyes
There's a time and a place and a reason
And I know I got a love to believe in
Whoh, got to win this time
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't know what we're fighting for
Love is the reason
That I get enough (?)
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Like a king without a throne
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide
Got the time, got a chance, gonna make it
Got my hands on your heart, gonna take it
Whoh, got to win this time
You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Cause I'm crazy about you baby
Crazy, crazy
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Like a king without a throne
Without you
One night alone
One night without you, baby
Could break a heart of stone
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide
ZIGGY STARDUST
(Released as B-side of various CD-singles in
1996. Original version by David Bowie.)
Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly
And The spiders from Mars, he played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's band
Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave 'em to hang
Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan
So where were the spiders
While the rats tried to break our balls
Just the beer light to guide us
So we bitched about his fans
And should we crush his sweet hands, oh
Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodoo
The kids were just crass, he was the nazz
With God given ass
He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar
Making love with his ego
Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man
I had to break up the band, oh
Oh yeah, ooooooh
Now, Ziggy played guitar
WHEN SATURDAY COMES (Joe
Elliott)
(Released as B-side of "All I Want Is
Everything"-CD single and on the soundtrack of "When Saturday Comes")
Wind me up and see what I can do for you
Switch me on, I'd do anything you want me to
Let me go and I come ticking like a timebomb
Just call my name and I come running like a marathon
The magic and the mystery
Out here on this field of dreams
When Saturday comes, nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes, you got to wear your heart on your sleeve
When Saturday comes, nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes, the winner takes it all
So don't let me down, don't you let me down
Sweat and blood, You know I couldn't give y'any of this
Pain and pride, there ain't no room for second best
Clock strikes three and it's time to be the hero
D'you want to be the Blade, it's a feeling that you'll never know
You've got to fight it tooth and nail
Out here on this Battlefield
When Saturday comes, nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes, you got to wear your heart on your sleeve
When Saturday comes, nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes, the winner takes it all
So don't let me down, don't you let me down
The magic and the mystery
Out here on this field of dreams
When Saturday comes, nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes, you got to wear your heart on your sleeve
When Saturday comes, nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes, you got to wear your heart
You got to wear your heart
When Saturday comes, nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes, you got to wear your heart on your sleeve
When Saturday comes, nothing else matters to me
When Saturday comes, you got to wear your heart
you got to wear your heart, when Saturday comes
WORK IT OUT (ORIGINAL DEMO)
(Released as B-side of various singles in
1996. Lead vocals by Vivian.)
Day and night, black and white
You take it all for granted
I'm the one who turns you on
When you don't know where you belong
And nothing seems to matter
I'm the one who's holding on
I'm the one who's holding on
It's alright to be wrong
All we need's a little time
But nothing here can last that long
We show the world a brand new face
It's taken us all this time
All this time
All of this doubt
We get to work it out
All of this doubt
We get to work it out
Yesterday lost your way
Still looking for an answer
I'm the one who holds the key
When you don't know where you belong
And nothing seems to matter
I'll unlock this mystery
I'll unlock this mystery
It's alright to be wrong
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's alright to be wrong
We show the world a brand new face
It's taken us all this time
All this time
All of this doubt
We get to work it out
All of this doubt
We get to work it out
TRUTH? (ORIGINAL VERSION)
(Released as B-side of various singles in
1996)
Why don't you tell me what's behind the green door
Why don't you tell me, 'cause I heard it all before
You know the answers, got 'em under lock and key
So why don't you tell me, end this misery
You're a dagger in my side, stripped of all my pride
I listen at you lie
Gonna raise my hand, it's time to make a stand
A voice across the land
Demands
Why don't you tell me the truth
Why don't you tell me the truth
Why don't you tell me, you got things to say
Why don't you do it, gonna throw it all away
Why don't you hear me, when I shout it out so loud
How do you sleep at night with your head up in the clouds
You're the devil in disguise, I'm sick of all your lies
Your hints and alibi's
Gonna raise my hand, it's time to take a stand
A voice across the land
Demands
Why don't you tell me the truth
So I can say I've got a question
Now listen
Can you tell me what the hell is happening
Why the sky is falling
And the heart is calling
And the youth is stalling
And it's over and over again
Come on, come on, come on
You gotta tell me the truth
You don't listen, do ya
The left hand gives
And the right hand takes away
That's the law of the jungle
But you have to learn to play
Why don't you tell me the truth
You better tell me the truth
Come on, why don't you tell me the truth
You gotta tell me the truth
You try with all your might
You never get it right
Can't see the morning light
Was never in your sight
Just like the truth
TO BE ALIVE (Clock)
(Released on "Clock", Vivian's
side project. Will possibly appear on the next Def Leppard album.)
I know you don't believe it
Like I believe it
Oh no, not your thought
You sit alone inside a room
Wait for the world to come to you
You never tell
It must be something that you can't let go
It hurts that you won't let me know
Every time you want to
Any time I touch you
I can't help to be myself
I hold on to this moment
Any time is right to be alive
And then a conversation
I love the way you mention
Nothing's ever gone your way
With a hammer in your hand
Spread out a master plan
We never learn
It must be somebody holding your heart
Something that keeps us apart
Every time you want to
Any time I touch you
I can't help to be myself
I hold on to this moment
Any time is right to be alive
And I don't think that it's right
To let love pass by
Any time of life
It's good to be alive
It must be something that you can't let go
It hurts that you won't let me know
Every time you want to
Any time I touch you
I can't help to be myself
I hold on to this moment
Any time is right to be alive
To be alive
Every time you want to
Any time I touch you
I can't help to be myself
I hold on to this moment
Any time is right to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
NO MATTER (Clock)
(Released on "Clock", Vivian's
side project. Will possibly appear on the next Def Leppard album.)
A telephone to heaven
A suitcase in hand
You won't let it slow you down, no no
You took it while you can
Ain't nothing gonna change us
And no one else to blame
The more you try to rearrange it
The more it stays the same
No matter
What you need is what you are without
Step into the mystery
I guarantee, for your survival
It don't matter what you need
I know that you'll surrender
It's all I say to you
You rise above the walls around you
It carries you away
Would you run down a hole
(Evil walks into a drugstore just like any other)
Looking for it all
(Where she comes from)
Mistify, electrify
(Radio is on, it's playing her, her favorite song)
Like a rolling stone
No matter
What you need is what you are without
Step into the mystery
I guarantee, for your survival
It don't matter what you need
Break it down a little bit
I can see the wait of it
Forever you
Take me on an angel's flight
Tonight
No matter
What you need is what you are without
Step into the mystery
I guarantee, for your survival
It don't matter what you need
What you need is what you are without
Step into the mystery
I guarantee, for your survival
It don't matter what you need
GOODBYE (Clock)
(Released on "Clock", Vivian's
side project. Will possibly appear on the next Def Leppard album.)
Every time I think of you I laugh a little bit to myself
The time you left me standing there
Now you are a bigger girl and I am bigger too
I'm bigger than you are
So much smarter than you are
And now you will be the last to know
And your friends are all in the show
Tough luck, the day the world went dry
Tough luck, it was your very last goodbye
I said goodbye
Every time you asked me to I gave a little bit of myself
The time you left me dancing there
And now you are a famous star but I am famous too
And I'm richer than you are
So much richer than you are
And in the end, well I asked you to go (bye bye)
And all those friends of yours are mine, you know
Tough luck, the day the world went dry
Tough luck, it was your very last goodbye
I said goodbye
Tough luck, the day the world went dry
Tough luck, it was your very last goodbye
I said goodbye
You were so much better than that
We were so much better than that
But you know
Tough luck, the day the world went dry
Tough luck, it was your very last goodbye
Tough luck, the day the world went dry
Tough luck, it was your very last goodbye
I said goodbye
I said goodbye
Goodbye
I said goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
