Def Leppard, in many ways, was the definitive hard rock band of the '80s. There were many bands that rocked harder, and were more dangerous, than the Sheffield quintet, but few others captured the spirit of the times quite as well. Emerging in the late '70s as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the group actually owed more to the glam rock and metal of the early '70s -- their sound was equal parts T. Rex, Mott the Hoople, Queen, and Led Zeppelin. By toning down their heavy riffs and emphasizing melody, Def Leppard was poised for crossover success by 1983's Pyromania, but skillfully used the fledgling MTV network to their advantage.

Back In Your Face Lyrics

Def Leppard

Hey, hey, hey
Im back in your face like Ive never been away
Im back in your face and its where Im gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, lika a union jack
Im back
Hey, hey
I can stand tall, I can stick out a mile
I can come crawlin like a hungry reptile
Im coming around, Im wired for sound
Shakin it for all its a-worth
Im a spaced-out alien, a techno-sapien crashin on down to earth
Im back in your face like Ive never been away
Im back in your face and its where Im gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
Im back
I can pour your drink and be the perfect host
I can scare the pants off the holiest ghost
Im coming around, Im wired for sound
Shakin it for all its a-worth
Im a spaced-out alien, a techno-sapien
Crashin on down to earth
Im back in your face like Ive never been away
Im back in your face and its where Im gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
Im back
Back in the middle, back in the ring
Backin a winner, its a sure shot thing
Back in your good books I did you no wrong
Here I am honey, I back where I belong
Belong, belong, belong.....
Im back
Well, Im back
Yeah Im back
You better believe that Im back
Now lemme tell you Im back
Cant you see that Im back
Come on and do it, Im back
Theres nothing to it, Im back
Im back in your face like Ive never been away
Im back in your face and its where Im gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
Im back in your face and dont it feel so good
Im back in your face and just like I knew that it would
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
Sheer heart attack and a jumpin jack flash
Like a leader of the pack
And as a matter of fact Im back
