Wasted

About Wasted

"Wasted" is a song by British rock band Def Leppard. It is the first single, and seventh track, from their debut album On Through the Night. The recording featured on the single is a different version from the On Through the Night LP. The B-Side on the single is "Hello America", which is also a different recording from the LP. These alternative, single-only versions of "Wasted" and "Hello America" had never been released on CD, until 2018 when they were included as part of the "Def Leppard Collection: Volume One" box set, as the first two tracks of the "Rarities - Volume One" disc. The record was produced by Nick Tauber, who the band selected because of his previous clients, particularly Thin Lizzy. Two other songs, "Rock Brigade" (also a re-recording) and "Glad I‘m Alive," were recorded during the session but were shelved when the band's management were displeased with the production, thus resulting in "Wasted" and "Hello America" being released as singles. Tauber's versions of "Rock Brigade" and "Glad I'm Alive" remain unreleased. more »

Well I've been lying awake all night just thinking of you
But a bottle of whiskey lies heavy obstructing my view
I've got a bottle of pills to give me my thrills
And I know that I'm leading a life that kills

(Wasted) I've wasted my time
(Wasted) I'm shooting a line
(Wasted) I'm stuck in a hole
(Wasted) I'm losing control

And I've been meaning to call, I've been wanting to phone
You see I don't like the thought of leaving you here alone
Well I've seen things down here that are fit for a queen
I've seen things down here that should never be seen

(Wasted) I've wasted my money
(Wasted) I've wasted you honey
(Wasted) I'm out of my brain
(Wasted) I'm going insane

I'm running in thin air
There's nothingness everywhere
I've gotta get out
(Won't you help me?)
I've gotta get out
(Won't you help me?)
I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me get out?

I thought I saw you just the other day
But it couldn't be you 'cos you had nothing to say
'He's going away', they told all my friends
Well now I'll be stuck in here til the misery ends

(Wasted) I've wasted my time
(Wasted) I'm shooting a line
(Wasted) I'm out of my head
(Wasted) I wish I was dead
