Notorious lyrics - Duran Duran

No-no-notorious
Notorious
(Ah)
No-no-notorious

I can't read about it
Burns the skin from your eyes
I'll do fine without it
Here's one you don't compromise
Lies come hard in disguise
They need to fight it out
Not wild about it
Lay your seedy judgements
Who says they're part of our lives?

You own the money
You control the witness
I'll leave you lonely
Don't monkey with my business
You pay the prophets to justify your reasons
I heard your promise, but I don't believe it
That's why I've done it again

No-no-notorious

Girls will keep the secrets (uh)
So long as boys make a noise
Fools run rings to break up
Something they'll never destroy
Grand Notorious slam (bam)
And who really gives a damn for a flaky bandit?
Don't ask me to bleed about it
I need this blood to survive

You own the money
You control the witness
I'll leave you lonely
Don't monkey with my business
You pay the prophets to justify your reasons
I heard your promise, but I don't believe it
That's why I've done it again

Notorious
Notorious

You own the money
You control the witness
I'll leave you lonely
Don't monkey with my business
You pay the prophets to justify your reasons
I heard your promise, but I don't believe it

You own the money
You control the witness
I'll leave you lonely
Don't monkey with my business
You pay the prophets to justify your reasons
I heard your promise, but I don't believe it
That's why I've done it again

No
No
That's why I've done it again
No-notorious
Yeah, that's why I've done it again
No-no-notorious
Yeah, that's why I've done it again
No-notorious
No-no-notorious
Yeah, that's why I've done it again
No-notorious
No-no-notorious!

American Science lyrics - Duran Duran

It's a little bit late now
But there's times you will
Get a little bit out of hand
Making all of a spill
And if we can lay this down
You're going all the way
Take a look and I'll check it out
'Cause I can always find it

Such a lonely place, ooh
This room without your face, ooh

Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me

A little megalomania becomes you, evidently
There ain't a thing you can acquire
With your cling-wrap plaything
Just look at this state
I crawl around in a daze
Like symptomatic case
Of your soul persuasion

Such a lonely place, ooh
This room without your face, ooh

Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me

Ooh, it's a little bit later now
And there's time you will let it all get
Out of hand when you feel you feel
I just switched on the operation
Such a lovely face, ooh
It pulls me into place, ooh

Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me

Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me

Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me...

Skin Trade lyrics - Duran Duran

Working on the weekend, baby
She's working all through the night
A jump into the deep end gave her
The evidence she required
Takes five, she's got pearls
Don't fake it when it comes to making money
So she smiles, but that's cruel
If you know what she thinks
If you knew what she was after

Sometimes she wonders
And she laughs in her frustration

Would someone, please, explain
The reason for this strange behavior
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the Skin Trade

Doctors of the revolution gave us
The medicine we desired
Besides being absolutely painless
It's a question of compromise
They got steel
So cool to get angry at the weekend
And go back to school
So big deal, it's what rule
When it comes to making money
Say yes, please, thank you

Sometimes you wonder
And ask yourself the question

Would someone, please, explain
The reason for this strange behavior
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the Skin Trade

Would someone, please, explain
The reason for this strange behavior
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the Skin Trade

I know the answer
But you asking the question

Would someone, please, explain
The reason for this strange behavior
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the Skin Trade

Would someone, please, explain
The reason for this strange behavior
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the Skin Trade

Would someone, please, explain
The reason for this strange behavior
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the Skin Trade

Would someone, please, explain
The reason for this strange behavior
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the Skin Trade...

A Matter Of Feeling lyrics - Duran Duran

How does it feel
When everyone surrounds you?
How do you deal?
Do crowds just make you feel lonely?
What do you say
When people come and try to pin you down?
Acquaintances smile
But that's no understanding
How, after a while
You keep falling off the same mountain?
Try to explain it
But nothing really gets them that high

Steal away in the morning
Love's already history to you
It's a habit you're forming
This body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
These moments of madness are sure to pass
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows, you might find something to last

Emotion's a game
Saved up for a rainy Monday
But you laugh just the same
'Cause it's been pouring on Sunday
Call up your numbers
And never let the zeros bring you down
How does it feel?
Is time too heavy to hold?
Whatever you decide for the moment is holy
Whenever you slow down to see life is passing by

Steal away in the morning
Love's already history to you
It's a habit you're forming
This body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
These moments of madness are sure to pass
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows, you might find something to last

You can

Steal away in the morning
Love's already history to you
It's a habit you're forming
This body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
These moments of madness are sure to pass
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows, you might find something to last

A matter of feeling
A matter of feeling
A matter of feeling
A matter of feeling...

Hold Me lyrics - Duran Duran

Yeah, this time
Shall we walk?
Shall we run through my head, you understand?
Does the body you conceal
Need the touch of someone's hand?
Ashes, violations
Who would they burn for?
In your isolation what can't you see?

I wonder if the light's down
I wonder if they're listening

Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself

You are lost and alone
But a prisoner of your pride
When the passions you ignore
You can never hide
One of these days you're gonna find out
'Cause one of these days you're gonna try
And what did I say
To make you wind up
With this spear of guilt inside

I wonder if the light's down
I wonder if they're listening

Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

Hold me
Na na na na na na
Show me
Na na na na na na na na na na

Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself!

Vertigo (Do The Demolition) lyrics - Duran Duran

Hey guys, turn it up to get sleazy
Twist it in a vice
Nobody said it was easy
Just use your naked eyes, oh
How to see and how to hide it
How to save it
Well, maybe, maybe, maybe
You can take it and eat it, and chew your life supply

Where's the real life in your illusion?
On the dark side your power's in confusion
Do the dance, do the demolition
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen

Don't you feel edgy?
Bite your lips and bleed
Conversation is empty
Abandoned in the freeze
Freedom is your condemnation
Free to say: Well, maybe
Maybe. Maybe. Maybe
You can take it or leave it
Just need a little hit tonight

Where's the real life in your illusion?
On the dark side your power's in confusion
Do the dance, do the demolition
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen

Maybe, maybe, maybe you can try to believe it
Just need a little help tonight

Where's the real life in your illusion?
On the dark side your power's in confusion
Do the dance, do the demolition
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen

Where's the real life in your illusion?
On the dark side your power's in confusion
Do the dance, do the demolition
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen

Hear it when you listen
You don't hear when you don't listen
Hear it when you listen
You don't hear when you don't listen...

So Misled lyrics - Duran Duran

I, I, I. So misled

In the summer of a London life
"Gold" she said
Was a month before I realised
"Sold" instead
Babe, it's such an awful choice
Don't break my back
Take it easy now, your whipping boy
Don't wanna feel the crack
Trust my head to say lose it
Now my body's got to use it

I, I, I should not be so misled
I, I, I should not be so misled

Saw an advert in a magazine
Safe it said, with the satisfaction
Guaranteed to cool your head
I can't see the solution
To this state of confusion

I, I, I should not be so misled
I, I, I should not be so misled
I, I, I should not be so misled

I, I, I should not be so misled
I, I, I should not be so misled

So misled
So misled

OK, take it away!
Do do do do do do
La la la la la la la
Do do do do do do
La la la la la la la
In the summer of a London life
Do do do do do do
La la la la la la la
Was a month before I realised
Do do do do do do
La la la la la la la...

"Meet El Presidente" lyrics - Duran Duran

Yeah, mm mm
Yeah
Yeah (Get up)
Mm mm
Yeah (Get up)
Mm mm

Miss November Tuesday
Bend your rubber rules
Take your time but don't take
Off your high heeled shoes
She's in demand at dinner time
She's on the factory wall
And when the gentlemen retire
Guess who's in control?
She blew your money
On taking a cruise
If that isn't funny
Well, watch out teacher

Ooh, ooh
When the chamber's empty
She said: Ooh, ooh
Meet El Presidente

Dressed in flimsy clothing
Use your lipstick line
To colour fear and loathing
With a pink disguise
You've never refused when she lies back
Put a stripe on the union and a star on the jack
She's on the case at dinner time
She's on the evening news
And if you dare step out of line
You're going to be abused
You may not like it
You may not be scared
But hell has no fury like a
Young girl's Ego

Ooh, ooh
When the chamber's empty
She said: Ooh, ooh
Meet El Presidente

Ooh, ooh
Doo, doo, doo
Ooh, ooh
Doo, doo, doo
Ooh, ooh
Doo, doo, doo

You might adopt an attitude
Look on the moral side
But if police are after you
Where's the best place to hide?
For this production
They gave her a gun
Ain't no director
So watch out actors!

Ooh, ooh
When the chamber's empty
She said: Ooh, ooh
Meet El Presidente

Ooh, ooh
When the chamber's empty
She said: Ooh, ooh
Meet El Presidente

Ooh, ooh
Meet El Presidente
Ooh, ooh
Meet El Presidente
Ooh, ooh...

Winter Marches On lyrics - Duran Duran

The trade's on
She drains emotion
To drink from her breast of fortune
Dreams have frozen crystal in the morning
Birth time rose
A thorn for coronation

All arise from your rest
We will find enough there to feed you
Soon you'll belong to the blest
Spare us your lives while we need you

Loud is the music the crowd is bringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on
Loud is the music. The sky is ringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on

Loud is the music the crowd is bringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on
Loud is the music. The sky is ringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on

And on
Winter marches on

Proposition lyrics - Duran Duran

"Bring back that child," she said
Spare me the price of freedom
Cold is my baby's head
Blown by the wind of reason
Even the rage behind
Cries out to see
We're still standing
Under the closing edge
Pay for the crime of feeling

When all your pride is dead
You must be scared instead

A quiet word is my Proposition
A promise made of a fierce day
A body bleeds for this coalition
Without surrender if you stay

"Show me my youth!" she cried
Wasted for desolation
Hold up the sacrifice
Pull down your institution
Resting while anger flies
Question's the same
Who's deciding after the clouds have lain
Shame on your generation

When all your guilt lies is dead
You must be scared instead

A quiet word is my Proposition
A promise made of a fierce day
A body bleeds for this coalition
Without surrender if you stay

When all your pain lies dead
You must be scared instead

A quiet word is my Proposition
A promise made of a fierce day
A body bleeds for this coalition
Without surrender if you stay

A quiet word is my Proposition
A promise made of a fierce day
A body bleeds for this coalition
Without surrender if you stay

Proposition

We Need You lyrics - Duran Duran

Time will see we're not searching for a wild excuse
To put emotions back on hold
Too much has gone down we know what you're doing
But do you feel the same way
You look sharp inside your pointed shoes
I have this picture hanging in my room
And I refuse to take you down or shake you down
We could bring you gently round if that's what you choose
For a point of view cause words like sand just get blown away
All those things we'd like to say

We need you [Repeat ad lib and end]

That's why I've done it again (again, again)

You pay the prophets to justify your reasons
I heard your promise, but I don't believe it
That's why I've done it again

Look on the moral side (looking on the moral side)

They gave her a gun
Ain't no director, so
Watch out actors

Ooh, ooh

She said ooh, ooh
