I'm out a luck, out a love
Gotta photograph, picture of
Passion killer, you're too much
You're the only one I want to touch
I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild and free so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy

Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh oh, look what you've done

Photograph - I don't want your
Photograph - I don't need your
Photograph - all I've got is a photograph
But it's not enough

I'd be your lover, if you were there
Put your hurt on me, if you dare
Such a woman, you got style
You make every man feel like a child, oh
You got some kinda hold on me
You're all wrapped up in mystery
So wild so free and far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy

Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh oh, look what you've done

Photograph I don't want your
Photograph I don't need your
Photograph all I've got is a photograph
You've gone straight to my head

Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh oh, look what you've done
I gotta have you

Photograph I don't want your
Photograph I don't need your
Photograph all I've got is a photograph
I want to touch you

Photograph
Photograph your photograph
Photograph
Photograph I need only your
Photograph I'm out a love
Photograph I'm out a love
Photograph you're the only one
Photograph I want to touch

    General Comment: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.

    I think this song is about a girl that he wants, but he can't have..he has a picture of her, but it will never be enough, he wants more of her.

    General Comment: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.

    General Comment: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

    General Comment:I've been listening to this song a lot recently because it describes my current situation...aka liking a guy I can't have because he's already in a relationship, so all I can do is look at photos of him and wish I was the one he's with. It's a great song though, I'm sure I'm not the only one who can relate to it.

    General Comment:well i think this is meaning that there is is this guy who has a photo of this girl he is like crazy about but however she does not feel the same about him or he thinks that he has absolutely no chance with her as he thinks she is like a super star or as drugs/alcohol as she is aid to go straight to his head as like drugs/alcohol. And this guy is in a total mess about the whole situation and is not his normal self and maybe depressed.
    i well like this song. makes me wanna sing :]
