Rio lyrics - Duran Duran
Moving on the floor now, babe, you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile, I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special
And you look like you're the best
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines, she really shows you all she can
Oh, Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two of a billion stars, it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines, she really shows you all she can
Oh, Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Hey now, woo, look at that
Did he nearly run you down?
At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive
You make me feel alive, alive, alive
I'll take my chance 'cause luck is on my side or something
I know what you're thinking
I tell you something, I know what you're thinking
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines, she really shows you all she can
Oh, Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh, Rio, Rio, hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the North down to the Rio Grande
My Own Way lyrics - Duran Duran
I saw you at the air race yesterday
April showers get out of my way
Fear of flying no not me
I'm never bothered what you say
Someone's kid just lives for today
It ain't your problem anyway
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way (Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey)
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way (Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-hey)
Number one
Public figure what a pain
Just puts another rattle in your brain
Take another green but it's not the same
So now you're on the sand lane everyday
Dancing with the bulls in any old way
Running like a fox to keep up with me
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way (Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey)
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way (Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-hey)
I'm on 45 between 6th and Broadway
7UP between 6th and Broadway
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way (Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey)
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way (Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey)
[?]
Busy, yeah
Just how I like it
[?] move it down
[?] love that sound
Hey, you? Why don't you come on in?
[?]
Lonely In Your Nightmare lyrics - Duran Duran
Even on the darkest night when empty promise means empty hand
And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red
And when the lights of hope are fading quickly then look to me
I'll be your homing angel I'll be in your head
Because you're lonely in your nightmare, let me in
And there's heat beneath your winter, let me in
I see the delta traces living lonely out on the limb
And a passing glimmer warm beneath your skin
Please tread gently on the ground when all around you earth turns to fire
Only get a second chance when danger's on the wind
Because you're lonely in your nightmare, let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter, let me in
Must be lucky weather when you find the kind of wind that you need
Come on show me all the light and shade that made your name
I know you've got it in your head I've seen that look before
You've built your refuge turns you captive all the same
Because you're lonely in your nightmare, let me in
And it's barren in your garden, let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter, let me in
Because you're so lonely in your nightmare, let me in
And it's cold out on the stone range, let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter, let me in
Hungry Like The Wolf lyrics - Duran Duran
Dark in the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is afire
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
Woman, you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt down, I'm after you
Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt down, I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt down, I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt down, I'm after you
I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt down, I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt down, I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Hold Back The Rain lyrics - Duran Duran
Hold back the rain
Yes we're miles away from nowhere
And the wind doesn't have a name
So call it what you want to call it
Still blows down the lane
People tell me I haven't changed at all
But I don't feel the same
And I bet you've had that feeling too
You can't laugh all the time
And if the fires burn out there's only fire to blame
(Hold back the rain)
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
(Hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
(Hold back the rain)
Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain
So what if the words ain't rhyming?
Did you think that it's just a game?
And I probably didn't even say that right
And I really don't give a damn
Okay go off and wander
I'm guilty just the same
Sometimes you're needed badly
So please come back again
And if the fires burn out there's only fire to blame
(Hold back the rain)
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
(Hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
(Hold back the rain)
(Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain)
And if the stars burn out there's only fire to blame
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
(Hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
(Hold back the rain)
(Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain, hold back the rain, hold back the rain
Hold back the rain (Hold back the rain), hold back the rain
(Hold back the rain), hold back the rain (Hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain (Hold back the rain), hold back the rain
New Religion lyrics - Duran Duran
I've been now sauntering
Out and down the path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I know
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things
Telling me not there, man, it's no go
I need a reason
I can't think without one now
Too much learning got to show
Call it treason
Maybe catch her, don't know how
Too many things, too much to know
I'll bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
'Cause sometimes people stare
Sitting down, electric chair
Steaming crowds they gather and they shout
Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holding on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
And it's us who makes the noise
I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion
Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
But someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife
Only get one look before you die
Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holding on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
And it's us who makes the noise
I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion
Got to take pay the saints 'n sinners
In regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things
Walking in formation down the lane
They carry their cross, make a church bell ring
Army majors pull a mean cool truth
They're lying in a swimming pool
Searching for the undeniable truth that
A man is just a fool
Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holding on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
And it's us who makes the noise
I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion
Last Chance On The Stairway lyrics - Duran Duran
I don't remember quite how I met you wasn't long ago
I just get a picture of sun in your eyes the waves in your hair
Maybe it's something said in a movie or you could've said last night
It just took me out on a limb and I don't really know what I'm doing here
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide and my beat's so in time, can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right, I've had my last chance on the stairway
Funny it's just like a scene out of Voltaire twisting out of sight
'Cause when all the curtains are pulled back we'll turn and see the circles we've traced
Ain't no game (ooo-ooo) when you're playing with fire
It doesn't seem right that we fight so the party runs on all night
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide and my beat's so in time, can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right, so nervous to say, tell me can't you see?
And if you want I'll fall out forever, I can't say no more, baby dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later, I've had my last chance on the stairway
Wonder why (wonder why ooo-ooo) what makes me rise so high
Maybe it's something they put in your perfume or the look in your eyes
It could be the atmosphere sinking, oh, I don't know what you're thinking
I don't even know what you're drinking, but it keeps this heaven alive
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide and my beat's so in time, can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right, so nervous to say, tell me can't you see?
And if you want I'll fall out forever, I can't say no more, baby dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later, I've had my last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Save A Prayer lyrics - Duran Duran
You saw me standing by the wall
Corner of the main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun
So you're looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go
Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
Feel the breeze deep on the inside
Look you down into your well
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance
Like all dreamers can't find another way
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day
Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Pretty looking road
Try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise
Melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand
But we can call it paradise
Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
The Chauffeur lyrics - Duran Duran
Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving
All looking for a new place to drive
You sit beside me, so newly charming
Sweating dew drops glisten, freshing your side
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Way down the lane away, living for another day
The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Sing, Blue Silver
And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling
What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind
To tear out from your eyes with a word to stiffen brooding lies
But I'll only watch you leave me further behind
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Sing, Blue Silver
Sing, sing Blue Silver
"Known as Albert Schweitzer
There's more to this kind of camouflage, more than just colour and shape
Who's crawling now in the tall grass near my tent?
Listen"
Girls On Film lyrics - Duran Duran
See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out it's so bright
Then walk right out to the four-line track
There's a camera rolling on her back, on her back
And I sense the rhythm humming in a frenzy all the way down her spine
Girls on film
Girls on film
Girls on film
Girls on film
Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling
In miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies
The diving man's coming up for air
'Cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, by the hair
And she wonders how she ever got here as she goes under again
Girls on film (Two minutes later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (Got your picture)
Girls on film
Wider baby smiling you've just made a million
Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire
Take one last glimpse into the night
I'm touching close I'm holding bright, holding tight
Give me shudders in a whisper take me up till I'm shooting a star
Girls on film (She's more than a lady)
Girls on film
Girls on film (Two minutes later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (See you together)
Girls on film
Girls on film (See you later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (What you doing?)
Girls on film
Planet Earth lyrics - Duran Duran
Only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the TV sound
You'll see I'm right some other time
Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, this is Planet Earth
My head is stuck on something precious
Let me know if you're coming down to land
Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I can't see you
Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, this is Planet Earth
Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, this is Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, calling Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop, this is Planet Earth
Is There Anyone Out There? lyrics - Duran Duran
Is there anyone out there?
I never found out what made you leave
Another day's over just an hour to go
Well I tried to phone last night but you never answered
Just left me ringing in the air
Outside, is there anyone out there, anyone else outside
Outside, love, is there anyone out there, anyone else outside
My face in the mirror shows a break in time
A crack in the ocean, it does not align
I tried to sleep last night, but I've caught ya' dreaming
About days we used to wonder away
Outside, is there anyone out there, anyone else outside
Outside, love, is there anyone out there, anyone else outside
Look out of the window, maybe you can call by my name
Another night over, babe, another light comes on in vain
I tried to phone last night but you never answered
Just left me ringing on the line
Is there anyone out there?
Anyone out there (Anyone out there)
Anyone out there (Anyone out there)
Anyone out there (Anyone out there)
Anyone out there (Anyone out there)
Thank you!
Careless Memories lyrics - Duran Duran
So soon
Just after you've gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes
So damned long
Before I feel how much
My eyes have darkened
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory
On the table
Signs of love life scattered
And the walls break
We go crashing within
It's not as though
As though you really mattered
But being close
How could I let you go
Without some feeling
Some precious sympathy following
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory
I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
But the whole place
It just screams in my eyes
Where are you now?
'Cause I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die
I think I'd laugh at you
I think I'd cry
What am I supposed to do
Follow you?
Outside the thoughts come flooding back now
I just try to forget you
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory
Is There Something I Should Know? lyrics - Duran Duran
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
I made a break, I run out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year, maybe no go
I know you're watching me
Every minute of the day, yeah
I've seen the signs
And the looks and the pictures
That give your game away, yeah
There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Do you feel the same?
'Cause you don't let it show
People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums
They all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind?
Can you see in the snow?
And fiery demons all dance
When you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me
You're about as easy as a nuclear war
There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Do you feel the same?
'Cause you don't let it show
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Please, please tell me now
Can you see what makes me blow?
Can you see how much I'd die
Every time it passes by?
Please, please tell me now
What it takes to make it show
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should know?
Night Boat lyrics - Duran Duran
Standing on the edge of a quay
Low lights flashing on the water for me
Fogging my mind darkens my eyes
Silently streaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen to the rising water moan
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night bo-oh-oat
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
Shudders all through me shudder away
Echo me, echo me (echo me...)
Am I alone or is the river alive
'Cause it echos me, echos me, echos me
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night bo-oh-oat
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
Waiting
Waiting for the night bo-oh-oat
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
Waiting for the night bo-oh-oat
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
I'm waiting for the night boat
Sound Of Thunder lyrics - Duran Duran
I've been in this grass here
For the last ten hours
My clothes are dirty
But my mouth isn't dry
How does it happen?
Does it fly through the air?
Whoa I gave up asking days away
I gave up asking days away
And now I'm lying here
Waiting for the sound of thunder
Waiting for the sound of thunder
Here I am, I'm a dotted line
Cut the corners, tick me to your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path
And I just lie here
It's what I was made for
And now my eyes are closing
But I still feel the land
Leaning out for the touch of my hand
The world spins so fast
That I might fly off
The world spins so fast
That I might fly off
The world spins so fast
I might fly off
Waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
Friends Of Mine lyrics - Duran Duran
Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
Said they were passing time
More like a waste of time
Close the door
I said close the door
I've told you twice before
What are you waiting for?
Georgie Davis is coming out
No more heroes we twist and shout
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not taking anymore
Rocky Picture has lost his gun
Leave him out now he's having fun
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not waiting anymore, hey, hey
Silly lies
Don't have to advertise
When will you realize?
I'm sick of your alibis
Running cold
The water's running cold
It's time that you were told
I think you're growing old
Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroes we twist and shout
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not waiting anymore
Rocky Picture has lost his gun
Leave him out now he's having fun
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not taking any more (hey, hey)
I see you smile
Pictures on the wall, they're all friends of mine
See you standing 'round the back (friends of mine)
Think yourself lucky
Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
They were just wasting time
Out on the dotted line
Oh, money's gone
I've known it all along
Why don't you say I'm wrong?
Why don't they drop the bomb?
'Cause Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroes we twist and shout
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not waiting anymore
Rocky Picture's thrown away his gun
Leave him out now he's having fun
Oh no, not me, I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not taking any more
What you doing, friends of mine?
Holding back now, friends of mine
I've always heard you calling
