DEF LEPPARD LYRICS

"Let's Get Rocked"


Do ya wanna get rocked?

Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get
Rocked......

I'm your average, ordinary, everyday kid,
Happy to do nothin'
In fact that's what I did.
Got a million ways to make my day, but daddy don't agree
'Cos when I try to get away he says
He get plans for me

Get your butt right out of bed - Stop buggin' me
Get up and move your sleepy head - Don't shake my tree.

He said
Mow the lawn - Who, me?
Walk the dog - Not my style, man!
Take out the trash - No way!
Tidy your room - C'mon get real!
Sorry dad, gotta disappear,
Let's get the rock outta here.

Seven-day weekend,
Up all night,
In at the deep end,
Hang on tight
Won't take a minute,
Won't take long,
So get on in it,
Come on, come on, come on

Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Let's go all the way, get it night'n'day
C'mon let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked.

I'm your average, ordinary, everyday dude
Drivin' with my baby, To get her in the mood
She's dialin'through my radio and I'm ready to make my move,
But what she got ain't rock'n'roll and it really blew my groove

It was - Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven
It makes me wanna scream - Bach, Tchaikovsky, violins
Turn it off! - That ain't my scene
Well I'm sorry girl, here's my confession
I suppose a rock's out of the question?

[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]

Oh, all I wanna do is take a ride into the blue
Ev'ry time I want to love you I get stuck inside my room
Heaven knows I'm sick'n'tired of dancin' with this broom
I feel lucky today
Hey, look at that man!
Do ya wanna get rocked?
Do ya wanna get rocked?

It won't take you a minute,
It won't take that long,
So get on, get with it,
Oh, c'mon
Everybody!

Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Get on top, baby
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Do ya wanna?
Do ya wanna?
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Get on top of it
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Love to rock your body, baby
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Let's go all the way,
Let's do it night and day,
Let's get out and play,
Rock the night away
C'mon
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get (rocked)
Oh,
Do ya wanna get rocked?

-NOW THIS is a feel good sing along and air-guitar song !!!!!

I can't believe it. After searching for ages (Led Zeppelin 11 is out of print and therefore out of stock) I have finally found a copy at Kalahari.com. Just waiting for delivery.

Carrie: 1980
Ever tried to look up or find someone that you once had a friendship or romance with? It’s far easier today with social forums than it was in 1980! It’s a daunting task, there must be some colloquial term for it…
Cliff Richard epitomized this experience with his song Carrie in 1980
“Sorry to disturb you,
But I was in the neighbourhood,
About a friend I've her picture,
Could you take a look?

Oh I appreciate you're busy,
And time is not your own,
Yeah maybe it would be better,
If I telephoned.

Carrie doesn't live here anymore,
Carrie used to room on the second floor,
Sorry that she left no forwarding address,
That was known to me.
Carrie doesn't live here anymore,
You could always ask at the corner store,
Carrie had a date with her own kind of fate,
It's plain to see.

Another missing person,
One of many we assume,
The young wear their freedom,
Like cheap perfume.
(It's useless information),
Returning my call,
(To help the situation),
They've nothing at all,
You're just another message,
On a pay phone wall,

Carrie doesn't live here anymore,
Carrie used to room on the second floor,
Sorry that she left no forwarding address,
That was known to me.”

Oh, c'mon
Everybody!

Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Get on top, baby
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Do ya wanna?
Do ya wanna?
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked

-NOW THIS is a feel good sing along and air-guitar song !!!!!

Def Leppard is ingenuous! This is timeless and universal music, its pure poetry in song. I’ll pay you in kind with a song that pretty much says the same things. In 1973 Marvin Gaye released ‘Let’s get it on,’ his 12^th studio album

“I’ve been really trying baby
Trying to hold back this feeling for so long
And if you feel like I feel baby
Come on, oh come on, ooh

Let’s get it on, ow baby
Let’s get it on, let’s love baby
Let’s get it on, sugar
Let’s get it on, woo

We’re all sensitive people with so much to give
Understand me sugar
Since we got to be, let’s live, I love you
There’s nothin’ wrong with me lovin’ you, baby no no
And givin’ yourself to me can never be wrong
If the love is true, oh baby ooh

Don’t you know how sweet and wonderful life can be, ooh ooh
I’m asking you baby to get it on with me, ooh ooh ooh
I ain’t goin’ to worry, I ain’t goin’ to push, won’t push you baby
So come on come on come on come on come on baby
Stop beatin’ round the bush, hey

Let’s get it on, ooh ooh
Let’s get it on, you know what I’m talkin’ about
Come on baby, hey hey, let your love come out
If you believe in love let’s get it on, ooh
Let’s get it on baby, this minute, oh yeah
Let’s get it on, eeeeeeeeee
Please get it on, hey hey
Come on come on come on come on come on darlin’
Stop beatin’ round the bush, oh, gonna get it on
Beggin’ you baby I want to get it on
You don’t have to worry that it’s wrong
If the spirit moves you, let me groove you
Good, let your love come down, oh
Get it on, come on baby, do you know I mean it
I’ve been sanctified, hey hey
Girl you give me good feelings, so good
Somethin’ like summertime”

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes: Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo: Album: Graceland:1986
This is one of my all-time favourite music videos!
“She's a rich girl, she don't try to hide it, diamonds on the soles of her shoes. He's a poor boy empty as a pocket. Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose”

You see back in the day, there were the rich kids and people like me, the poor boys! Notwithstanding this , it became apparent to me, that the poor boys, by way of charisma, communication skills, social awareness and a love of music could win a women’s heart! Billy Joel demonstrated this with his music video ‘uptown girl,’ he ensured that he was portrayed as just the regular guy who works as a mechanic in a garage, with greasy overalls and a rugged look. Notwithstanding this, in that video, he wins the heart of the ‘uptown girl,’
A grassroots attitude really! I love this attitude!
“Graceland features an eclectic mixture of musical styles including pop, a cappella, isicathamiya, rock, and mbaqanga. The album was strongly influenced by the earlier work of South African musicians Johnny Clegg and Sipho Mchunu, and the Zulu-Western pop cross-over music realized in their band Juluka”[1]
I proudly give you the original music video of ‘Diamonds on the soles of her shoes!”

“(a-wa) O kodwa u zo-nge li-sa namhlange
(a-wa a-wa) Si-bona kwenze ka kanjani
(a-wa a-wa) Amanto mbazane ayeza

She's a rich girl
She don't try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

He's a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
Sing Ta na na
Ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

People say she's crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well that's one way to lose these
Walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

She was physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket
With my car keys
She said you've taken me for granted
Because I please you
Wearing these diamonds

And I could say Oo oo oo
As if everybody knows
What I'm talking about
As if everybody would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes

She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes
And puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes

And she said honey take me dancing
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes

And I could say Oo oo oo
As if everybody here would know
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here would know exactly
What I was talking about
Talking about diamonds

People say I'm crazy
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Well that's one way to lose
These walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of your shoes”

Our weather gloomy as it seems took me back to this song from Lahannya (range between industrial and melodic metal). Just surrender and close your eyes. This music is a rare delicacy...

Lahannya "Rain"

The storm breaks
The skies cloud over me
In silence
A supernova inside me

Control freak
The voice of reason in my ear
Redemption
Degrees of freedom
Alternative to fear

Contagious
Burning infection of the soul
Ignition
A chain reaction as the goal

Transgression
Private rebellion my escape
Alone with
So many questions
Alternative to fate

And I dream of running with the wind
And I net a reason not to care

Feel the rain on my face
Feel the wind on my skin
Tossed and turned on our way
As the wheel of fortune spins

Once you've broken the spell
You have broken the chains
With the future as prize
You are free of the game

We don’t talk anymore: Cliff Richard: 1979I’m confident that many out there will attest to the fact that at a particular point in their lives they either had a very close friendship with someone or a close relationship. At present they don’t even think of each other! Cliff Richard brings this one home rather nicely. There’s something incredibly likable about his song!
“Used to think that life was sweet,
Used to think we were so complete,
I can't believe you'd throw it away.

Used to feel we had it made,
Used to feel we could sail away,
Can you imagine how I feel today,
Well it seems a long time ago you were the lonely one,
Now it comes to letting go you are the only one,
Do you know what you've done.

It's so funny how we don't talk anymore,
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore,
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.

Well it really doesn't matter to me,
I guess your leaving was meant to be,
It's down to you now you wanna be free,
Well I hope you know which way to go you're on your own again,
And don't come crying to me when you're the lonely one,
Remember what you've done.

It's so funny how we don't talk anymore,
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore,
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.

But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.”

[Blurock]

We don’t talk anymore: Cliff Richard: 1979

Cliff Richard? Oh yes, that was the sweet English boy who liked bus rides...

[Citizen X]

Cliff Richard? Oh yes, that was the sweet English boy who liked bus rides...

Okay, I know that there's a somewhat mixed reaction to Cliff Richard's music I was a little kid when I first heard, 'we don't talk anymore,' at the time, my folks always tried to take us on some holiday in December; this song takes me back to the early 80's. Blurock, I know you'll appreciate what I'm about to say, '7 single,' now in 1986 Cliff Richard and Sarah Brightman released the 7 single of 'All I ask of you,' those who love opera(not me) will find it particularly memorable in the context of 'Phamtom of the opera.'

[Blurock]

...rather tongue in cheek Vanash. I was referring to the movie "Summer Holiday" he made with the Shadows back in the 60's (also pop icons in their day). It was rather fun and was about this British band who toured Europe in a London bus. You should try to get the video.

Nothing wrong with Sir Cliff's music, although I thought that "Bachelor Boy" would sound better without the strings (violins).

I'd like to get that video! I love the Shadows and Cliff Richard's contribution to the Shadows. The Shadows put heart and soul into guitar music. It's actually only their music which seems to calm me when I've really had a miserable day tunes like Apache,' 'Mustang,' and 'cosy'
You simply have to feeeeeel this one..."Apache," The Sahdows

OKAY, Blurock, I'm now on the same page!!!!!
I proudly give you Cliff Richard: A summer Holiday and yes, with the bus scene!!!!

"We're all going on a summer holiday.
No more working for a week or two.
Fun and laughter on a summer holiday.
No more worries for me and you.
For a week or two.

We're going where the sun shines brightly.
We're going where the sea is blue.
We've seen it in the movies.
Now let's see if it's true.

Everybody has a summer holiday
Doing things they always wanted to.
So we're going on a summer holiday
To make our dreams come true
For me and you.

We're going where the sun shines brightly.
We're going where the sea is blue.
We've seen it in the movies.
Now let's see if it's true.

Everybody has a summer holiday
Doing things they always wanted to.
So we're going on a summer holiday
To make our dreams come true
For me and you."

[Blurock]

You get the idea, but you should have seen the movie! I loved the music of the Shadows. They were copied by bands such as the Ventures, but they were the most successful instrumental band.

Only problem I had with Cliff's music was those violins. Sounds so 50's!
