The Joe Elliott Show - 14th September Quote
"That is just brilliant I absolutely adore that song. That is the Rival Sons there from the album Head Down with a song called All the Way. And before that T. Rex when in actual fact it really was still Tyrannosaurus Rex and the first album that my parents ever bought me Christmas 1970. The album T. Rex Expanded Version and the song Seagull Woman. So as that strange hybrid of a creature disappears off into the sunset unfortunately so does this show folks. I shall be back with you next week at the same time. Until then I have a world exclusive for ya. This is a song that I wrote in 2002 for the X sessions and this band have taken it and run with it and done a fantastic job. The band are VEGA and from their forthcoming album Stereo Messiah this is 10 X Bigger Than Love Until next week see ya!."
VEGA - 10 X Bigger Than Love - Lyrics
I lost my heart to infatuation
You can't cure that with a vaccination
A bad blood is pumping through my veins
I can't slow down, livin' life in the fast lane
Your body language, it's telepathic
I'm caught up in the middle of a two-way traffic
Wondering if this is the impossible dream
Or whether we could make such a beautiful team
I don't know what to do when I get this feeling
I don't know what it is but it stops me breathin'
A little white lie that you got to believe in
Don't know what it is but it's ten times bigger than love
Intoxicated till I can't feel a thing
I feed my thirst on your unchained adrenaline
My body's shakin' like a man on the run
You blow my mind like sex and machine guns
I got scars and bloody knuckles
Diggin' for a diamond in a whole lotta trouble
You detonate me like a nuclear bomb
Wiped out and sleepin' with the TV on
I don't know what to do when I get this feeling
I don't know what it is but it stops me breathin'
A little white lie that you got to believe in
Don't know what it is but it's ten times bigger than
Love is love, it ain't always right
Make you sweat, keep you up all night
Walkin' in with your eyes wide open
You're looking out on a lost horizon
Always something to knock you over
And make you feel like you're getting nowhere
If you can't stand up when you're on your knees
Then close your eyes and float up to the breeze
I've lost my heart but, hey, you can keep it
'Cause it ain't no good at keeping a secret
It's got me doing things that I'd never do
Another fine mess that it's gotten me into
I don't know what to do when I get this feeling
I don't know what it is but it stops me breathin'
A little white lie that you got to believe in
Don't know what it is, I don't know what it is
I don't know what to do when I get this feeling
I don't know what it is but it stops me breathin'
A little white lie that you got to believe in
Don't know what it is but it's ten times bigger than love
