I've been burning and dousing the flames I feel the whiplash of the backlash on my face I melt to sleep at night but I wake to trip the day Never for you, never for me, would I kiss your feet of clay Chorus: I'm still alive and so should I soak up the wave of compromise Am I the victim of youth, is this the truth Why don't you tell me (2) There's no conscience in charity or shame The voice deceives me but believe me, it's the same I see the black and white and the colour in the grey Better for me, better for you, gonna bleach it all away Chorus Solo: Phil (Spoken): The left hand gives And the right hand takes away Why don't you tell me (2) I'm still alive and so should I soak up the wave of compromise I see the scars, I hear the lies, so what's the truth Why don't you tell me ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) Turn To Dust (Collen) 4:21 Strings and Percussion Arranged and Conducted by Craig Pruess.

Let me down slow and easy Cause there ain't nothin' I can do I hope and pray my faith won't leave me When it comes down to me and you Try a little ... tenderness I die a little - for a long lost sweet caress You lyin' next to me, fulfilled some destiny I wanna cry - but I breathe a sigh Just a little bit of letting go - I don't want you to know I wanna cry - but I breathe a sigh Overflow of emotion And a hurt that'll never heal If you close the door forever The fate of pain is sealed Try a little ... tenderness I die a little ... for a long lost sweet caress Chorus: You lyin' next to me (It's outta my head) Fulfilled some destiny (And into my heart) I wanna cry - but I breathe a sigh Just a little bit of letting go (Take a new day) I don't want you to know (And make a new start) I wanna cry - but I breathe a sigh I more than long for your affection - I love you day and night I tell you now that that ain't so - I want you more than life Not even gentle persuasion - Fulfill some destiny Is ever gonna let me go - I wanna say Chorus Won't you let me breathe (3) A sigh Won't you let me breathe (2) A sigh Won't you let me breathe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Deliver Me (Collen, Elliott) 3:04 I'm tired ... and feeling hateful I'm tired ... and I can't breathe So tired ... that I would be grateful If you closed the door when you leave That's me ... diggin' my heels in That's me with the holy ghost 'Scuse me ... but I don't remember Where were you when I needed you most Chorus: And I'm tired of the sky as you claw at my eyes As I wait for the flood - I swim in blood As I crawl to my knees, and I beg your disease Taste the ice on your breath as you catch your death I close my eyes Embrace the wave Deliver me Hey you, the voice of reason Hey you, are you listening to me It's you ... that I can't believe in I don't buy what I don't see Say goodbye cause I don't need Chorus Solo: Vivian Chorus I close my eyes Embrace the wave Abandon me Save the day that I won't see Deliver me ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Gift Of Flesh (Collen) 3:48 I am all destiny, a trade, a grain of sand I am the lesson to be learned I take the throat of innocence and leave decay I stain the way for all to see No fear, no voice, no reason In God no guiding light When all the guilt that's in your head Turns its back and plays for dead You scorch the earth and torch the sky Conscience low with head held high Indulge and multiply ... and sacrifice As lack of breath chokes underground Divulge degenerate, the darker side From windows watch the screaming sky No fear, no voice, no reason In God no guiding light When all the guilt that's in your head Turns its back and plays for dead You scorch the earth and torch the sky Conscience low with head held... Solo: Phil When all the guilt that's in your head Turns its back and plays for dead You scorch the earth and torch the sky Conscience low with head held high From all the truth comes all the shame The curse of flesh just takes its aim On hallowed ground and tortured sky Walk in fear with spirits high ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Blood Runs Cold (Collen, Elliott) 4:26 Piano: Pete Woodroffe. Wailing Scat Vocal: Phil. I heard this line one time 'bout ... tryin' to save the world But have you ever tried to save yourself A wide-eyed suicide drive ... remains a fake As if you'd ever, ever go and make that ... same mistake Chorus 1: Strung out as the night comes crawlin' Your halo of thorns is fallin' Chorus 2: Blood runs cold I feel it in my bones But you - don't know - your time is up, blood runs cold Somebody somewhere ... is screamin' out the words But do they ever really ease the pain I guess what I'm trying to say ... is whose life is it anyway Because livin' - living is the best revenge - you can play This fall from grace I see your face, it's over Chorus 2 From you love was kind Resolved, left scarred and blind Wasted and naked in the wings Denying twist of fate Demanding heaven's gate Lying in wait above the wind Solo: Phil Chorus 1 & 2 Blood runs cold (2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Where Does Love Go When It Dies (Elliott, Collen) 4:04 Keyboard Strings: Pete Woodroffe. Could you ever steal a prayer to deny your god Could you ever buy your love and not count the cost Could you ever take a life when all was lost And would it ever be enough Could you bite the hand that feeds and then ask for more Could you kiss the wound that bleeds, spit it on the floor Could you open up your heart then close the door And would it ever be enough Chorus: Every word you whisper All the tears you hide You die for love ... when it's alive But where does love go when it dies If you came across your dream, would you walk on by Hold a candle to the wind and just let it die And is there room inside your mind ... for one more try And would it ever be enough I watch the time go rushing by, it's like an ocean wave Showing you no mercy, throwing dirt upon your grave You're drowning in the darkness and you're blinded by the light And there ain't no prayer that's gonna save you now If you woke up from your sleep, blood on your hands Would you wash the pain away, no one understands There must be someone out there who can help you breathe again And would it ever be enough Chorus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11) Pearl Of Euphoria (Elliott, Collen, Savage) 6:21 Additional Guitar and Bass: Joe. Your price, name the time The suspect ... of the crime The shadow ... of my gun Get down (get down, get down) ... or you can run Chorus: Feed the demon Kiss the flame Feel your desire Empty room, turn the key You're never alone ... when you're with me Temptation, break the vow Cut flesh from the sacred cow Unchain the tiger Kiss the flame Feel your desire Chorus Soaked in fear, the curtain falls Religion ... within these walls Mystify ... my soul beliefs Confession ... is my release Chorus Unchain the tiger Crucify Feed your desire Pearl of euphoria (4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12) Move With Me Slowly (Collen) 6:19 - Japanese bonus track I'm lost in imagination Still contemplate animation I just groove on your breathing I do it all for you You got a problem with your boyfriend He don't squeeze you right He got you facedown ... and waiting, baby Keep you waiting all night So do me a favour Won't you - move with me slowly Get too close to me Won't you - move - with me slowly, yeah Just like we're meant to be (2) Hey say sister, you're dreaming You got stars in your eyes A little conscious ... behaviour, yeah yeah Is gonna cut you down to size So won't you - move with me slowly Get too close to me Yeah, won't you - move - with me slowly, yeah yeah Just like we're meant to be (2) You hear me knocking so let me in When your blood runs cold ... and your love wears thin It's over passion, it's under the skin If love ain't a miracle, it sure ain't a sin So let me in Take me to the city ... and take me on my knees Take me anyway you find me, baby I've got this love disease And there ain't nothin I can do Won't you - move with me slowly And get too close to me Yeah, won't you - move - with me slowly, yeah yeah Just like we're meant to be And won't you - move with me slowly And get too close to me Yeah, won't you - move - with me slowly, yeah yeah Just like we're meant to be (2) Yeah yeah yeah Won't you - move with me slowly And get too close to me Yeah, won't you - move - with me slowly, yeah yeah Just like we're meant to be (3) Yeah ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Def Leppard use Jackson and Hamer Guitars and Basses, DW Drums, Zildjian Sticks and Cymbals.
