Photograph Lyrics
I'm outa luck, outa love
Gotta photograph, picture of
Passion killer, you're too much
You're the only one I wanna touch
I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild so free so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy
Oh Oh, look what you've done
Photograph - I don't need your
Photograph - All I've got is a photograph
But it's not enough
Put your hurt on me, if you dare
Such a woman, you got style
You make every man feel like a child
You got some kinda hold on me
You're all wrapped up in mystery
So wild so free so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy
Oh Oh, Look what you've done
Joe's obsession with Marilyn Monroe
I'm not much of a hair metal fan but this song stands out somehow. One thing is the guitar riff during the chorus, kind of bittersweet and melancholy. That's when the fact that it's a sad song peeks it's head out sonically. Reminds me of the guitar riff Peter Buck plays after the chorus in REM's Driver 8, an arpeggio where the 3rd note in every bar doesn't change, while the others do. Love it.
That's right, I just compared Def Leppard to REM...deal with it.
@teddyhose I thought I was the only one who noticed that.

Impossible to sing, even Joe says he struggles with it on occasion. It's about a guy who loves a girl, but can't be with her and only has her photograph.
It's about a girl he wants to be with, but only has a photograph of her to remember her by.
great song, it rocks, bout Joe's fantasy's or pics of Marylin Monroe his fave
well this is probably one of the greatest songs by def leppard, one of my favorites. but this song was actually written for mairlyn monroe.
You're all wrapped up in mystery because her whole life was a mystery and they still dont know how she died.
well thats at least what i think about this song, def leppard is amazing

I don't understand what is so great about Marilyn Monroe.She is a skank.I don't know about anyone else, but i think blonde hair is getto.
My dad and i do not share opinions on music very much, we overlap on zep, aerosmith, jimi, etc. but he cannot stand the 80s glam. That being said, i was driving, and by right, i chose the radio station. This song came on and right about "every page every magazine" he asked me, not even joking, "who the hell is this rock n roll clown singin bout?" i just smiled and kept drivin. Never did tell him that its bout Marilyn Monroe
great, great vocal harmonies in that chorus. fun stuff!
This is a good song... very similar to a lot of the 80s metal love ballads, but it still stands out as one of the best in my book.
