song trivia

The line "sex and machine guns" is 'quite possibly' linked to the name of a band put together by Joe and friend Rick Warwick at the time of the 'X/Ten' album called the 'Sex Machine Guns'. Mentioned in interviews by Ricky, they were said to be considering recording an album of covers but nothing was ever released.

Ricky Warwick Quote (August 2003) - "I've got a band with Joe Elliott called Sex Machine Guns who are going to put an album out sometime which is all gonna be cover versions."

10 X Bigger Than Love / song 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

(1st chorus)
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 (10 X) 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

(2nd chorus)
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 (10 X) 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 (10 X) bigger than love.
