High 'n' Dry
Def Leppard
℗ 1981 Mercury Records 4021
Def Leppard's second album, High 'N' Dry, continues in the vein of the anthemic, working-class hard rock of their debut. While still opting for a controlled musical attack, and melodies as big-sounding and stadium-ready as possible, the band opens up its arrangements a bit more on High 'N' Dry, letting the songs breathe and groove while the rhythm section and guitar riffs play off one another. MTV helped break the album in the U.S. with its heavy rotation of the video for the unabashedly dramatic rock ballad "Bringin' On the Heartbreak." — Steve Huey. |

Me & My Wine [remix]
Well I'm down in the alley of Sally and I'm feeling my way And it's four in the morning, I don't have a lot I can say I know I'm looking for some satisfaction But there ain't much news Got some walking from a back reaction I'm hanging down and loose Me and the boys have been drinking Feeling like this is the wrong time for thinking All I can say is I'm doing fine with just me and my wine Now my brain and my body are runnin' on different rails And I died and just say hi what if all else fails Oh I woke up in a subway station Lying half dead on the floor I don't remember anything What happened the night before Oh me and the boys have been drinking Feeling like this is the wrong time for thinking All I can say is I'm doing fine with just me and my wine Now listen My hair's a real mess, I feel and look like a joke And there's a hole in my jeans, I just ran right out of smokes You know I'd like to get to know you But I ain't got the time I'm finding it harder and harder To make this damn thing rhyme Just me and my wine Well just me and my wine You know that I'm doing fine Well just me and my wine Thank you
