Def Leppard - Action! Not Words Lyrics

I'll be your Bogart and you be Monroe

Action not words, words to live by.

Todo el piromania es un gran album

Always skipped this song on Pyromania, i ranked it near the bottom. Now i love it, truly underappreciated and underrated, killer riff and lyrics. How i was wrong.

This takes me back to 1983 when this album came out. School bus driver let us crank up our jam boxes on the way home. Def Leppard and Charlie Daniels Band. Rocked it then and still rock it now!

amazing song, one of the best on the record.
would love to hear it live!!!

This song is about making porn at home with your VHS using this song as the background music...

great album

I’m sick and tired of the dam tv
I’m gonna make my own movie
I wanna star in a late night show
And all I need is my video

Shock me
Make it electric
Shock me
Make it last

Curtain up let the camera roll
It’s automatic it’s in control
Got no script baby ain’t no lines
Just me and you and a real good time oh

Shock me
Make it electric
Shock me
make it last
Shock me
Gimme thunder and lightning
Shock me
Ooh babe I need it fast

Cause all I want is some
Action
Action
Action not words
Gimme action
Action
Action not words

C’mon and shock me
Let the cameras roll

I’ll be the hero
You be the star
With your wine and your caviar
No audition a starring roll
I’ll be your Bogart n you be Monroe yeah

Shock me
Make it electric
Shock me
Oh bump and grind
Shock me
Make a night to remember
Shock me
Do it one more time

So cut me in to the
Action

Lights camera sound

Gimme action
Action
Action not words
Gimme action
Action
Action not words

C’mon and talk to me with your body

Action

cool idea putting an ad at the beginning to make a penny off a song you didn't right.

Mero tema

And thus Steel Panther gave us a song about wanting pussy.

Def Leppard’s first 3 albums were the best

Hysteria was the best, in my opinion.

This is not only the most underrated song in their catalogue but the most underrated song in the 80’s. Rare gem to whoever finds it

Just googled the lyrics - for the past 35 years, it sounded to me like they were singing "Suck me..."

Hahahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahaha

that Leppard sound is unique

It just ain't ugly gay or scary. Did you scene who typed DISS

Meth high action

do something new

Algunos politicuchos deverian escuchar esta letra,grandes Def Leppard!

Real music...

One of those rare albums. Every song is good enough to be on any classic rock station. Sadly all they play is Photograph or maybe rock of ages.

Yeah photograph,rock of ages, and foolin is usually all they play on my rock station by them most of the time with their Pyromania stuff everyonce in a while I do hear their other stuff but rarely.

@Karen Schreurs it dont listen to the radio, i listen to cassette in my car so its rock 24 7

Satellite radio, hear all the good tunes, even Switch 625 right after Bringing on the Heartbreak...who does that anymore? Who plays Rhyme of the Ambient Mariner?

FOOLIN. omg i finally pressed next after 4x.

I heard comin under fire on my rock station today

One of my favorites. Takes me back to high school and the good old days

they don't make Luke that's anymore

yeah good music

back to the glory days

Yeah best make you feel better song ever get it on like a neckbone

ass kickin song ever

84 through 89 good years

long hair year no more

miss the ole days

ah yes! back b4 they sucked

Awesome

No audition, starring role... I'll be your Bogart you be Monroe YEAH!!! I love this.

So true..action speaks louder than words

Awesome song.

One of my favorite songs in this album, and the most underrated. Have they ever played this one live? :(

Not since the album came out, probably.

They didn't play it both nights I saw them and I wanted it. Best song on Pyromania!

They played it live when they opened up for Billy Squier at a show I was at. When they went back out headlining they dropped it from the set list...what a bummer. Sounded awesome live!

Kevin Kelley What year?

<~ sick & tired of the damn same thing!

Thrills2010 it's actually damn TV

If you had a dirty enough mind, you could imagine this song about a guy wanting to film a porno lol

The Stormblooper what

the stormblooper but im not a boy...

Porn n rock mm mm mm with Peta Jenson

That's what I always thought this song was about

That's exactly what the song song is about lmao, also I dig the Insomniac pfp, early Green Day kicks ass

Strong influences of AC/DC!

i noticed that too! I think their first one off this album sounds really similar to AC/DC, and the first time I heard it i got really confused lol

really underrated song I mean pour some sugar on me is good but this is so much better wish they'd play more pre hysteria stuff I still like hysteria and adrenalize though

High and dry and pyromania will always be my favorite Def Leppard albums.

Pyromania is by far their best album, imo

It didn’t make sense to most of us when our ears didn’t know any better! This is a quality groove oriented song that is timeless.

Oh no they were behind 911 look at the picture!

Ahhh this song takes me back to '03 when my Dad played this album for me for the first time and I remember my jaw just dropping cause up to that point I never heard anything like this before!!

80's new wave of British Heavy Metal. Never forget the best.

On Through the Night or High and Dry.

i was about 18

The besr!!!!

Best of the best!!!$

Def Leppard can still rock it. One of my favorite bands.Wish they would sing this one and Comin Under Fire more in concert.

+gary niebling Yeah, Comin' Under Fire is a great one too !!! I love them !!!

+Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Rumour has it that this year they are going to perform those 2 as well as some stuff off OTTN O.o don't know how Joe will do with the vocal aspect unless they tune down a whole step or something!!

I've seen them 3 times, and they never played stuff like this. I think one of the times they played Rock Rock till you Drop, and a cut or two from High n Dry, but, not much early stuff.

AWESOME!!!!!!
