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.

Gravity Lyrics

Def Leppard

Cant sleep at night
The darkness enslaves me
I turn out the light
And no one can save me
So try not to stare cause Im stripped to the bone
Its a trick of the light and Im lost
Feel like Im falling
Gravity is dragging me
My heads about to break
Cant break my fall
Insanity inside of me
Its like Im wide awake
Feel like Im falling
Cant recognize
Im hypnotized
These feelings got me plagued
Cant take it all
This gravity is killing me
I cant stand up from falling down
I lie to myself
It dont make it easy, easy
If somebody else
Would only believe me
My sweat soaks the sheets and Im hung out to dry
Its a trick of the light and Im lost
Feel like Im falling
Gravity is dragging me
My heads about to break
Cant break my fall
This gravity is killing me
I cant stand up from falling down
Feel like Im falling
Wake up
Falling
Dont try to catch me, just let me fall
Eyes wide shut, dont make a sound
Keep falling till I hit the ground
Feel like Im falling
Gravity is dragging me
My heads about to break
Cant break my fall
Insanity inside of me
Its like Im wide awake
Feel like Im falling
Cant recognize
Im hypnotized
These feelings got me plagued
Cant take it all
This gravity is killing me
I cant stand up from falling
Feel like Im falling
Gravity is dragging me
My heads about to break
Cant break my fall
Insanity inside me
Its like Im wide awake
Feel like Im falling
Cant recognize
Im hypnotized
These feelings got me plagued
Cant take it all
This gravity is killing me
I cant stand up from falling down
