Lady Strange

This song isn't about a strange lady it is about something known as Strange. As in Strange Pussy. It is about how a guy will find the unknown so much more interesting then his everyday girlfriend. It is about being drawn to what isn't home waiting in your bed for you.

I like what mrobvious posted. That makes good sense, and I never thought of that. It could also be about a player who has had many women, and just used them for carnal thrills, but then meets one who unexpectedly snatches his heart , and makes him fall in love. This is strange to him , and so she is strange to him, thus he dubs her Lady Strange. He states " taking love from you is like taking candy from a baby" . That's because he feels guilty about hurting her and then moving on, like he has done with other girls many times before. He wants her as a keeper, this is new to him. Lady Strange there is no stranger lady. One who's feelings he actually cares about. A good song to put back to back with it would be The Raspberry 's ( GO ALL THE WAY) , it addresses the same subject matter, but less cryptically. Both songs rock.

So .. here's something for the eight people are going to read this .. July 1980. World Series of Rock - Cleveland Municipal Stadium - Cleveland, Ohio This event meant so much to Def Leppard, with how young they were, that they included a picture of the actual event in Cleveland in the inner sleeve of this album "High n' Dry". It was obviously the biggest crowd they had ever played in front of. Here is my experience:

It was The World Series of Rock, a continual event in Cleveland each summer. This year it was .. Bob Seger on his "Against the Wind" tour as headliner .. J. Geils .. Eddie Money .. and some opening band that came on at 1 o'clock .. some teenagers from England named 'Def Leppard'.

Well, there were those of us that were "playing out" in Cleveland .. meaning we were all guitarists in bands that played live venues in Cleveland at that time. We .. kinda .. all knew each other. We were all trying to get record deals so we were in competition .. hard, mean competition .. with each other. But we knew each other, especially us lead guitar players who would show up at each other's shows and steal their latest tricks and licks from each other. So .. people would have no way of understanding this BUT .. it's true: In the Rock and Roll Capital of the Intergalactic Universe, we were entirely sure Def Leppard was the next Led Zeppelin.

They came out with "On Through the Night" in 1979 and we ... just .. FREAKED. It's The Beatles crossed with Floyd powered by Led. We were sure of it.

So .. we couldn't give a shit about Bob Friggin' Seger, nor Boston's J. Geils. Eddie Money was pretty cool .. he only had like two albums out, not even that, I think. But, Eddie Money is always cool, I don't care who you are. BUT .. make no mistake .. we were there to see:

It's about a strange fuckin lady. You have to be a dumbass not to figure this one out.

good song....look above for the meaning

The lyrics in this song kind of suck, but it sounds awesome.

Oh yeah, this song gets the girls everytime....can't help but love it.

This song is about a prostitute. His first time w someone that knows what she's doing, maybe someone paid her for him for his bday or something, "she came in to his life like a whirlwind" then "taking love from u is like taking candy from a baby" that means she's easy AF. He calls her lady strange cause she's nameless faceless whore. He's had other "girls" that don't know shit, he's w this woman who knows how to please a man. Lol that's what I think it means

Always thought this was one of the most brutal songs Def Leppard ever made. Fell in love it with the first time I heard it on High n dry. Im still not entirely sure what this song is about.
