Rio (1982)




















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"

Duran Duran (1981)



















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

A View To A Kill lyrics - Duran Duran

Meeting you with a view to a kill
Face to face in secret places, feel the chill

Nightfall covers me, but you know the plans I'm making
Still overseas, could it be the whole Earth opening wide
A sacred why, a mystery gaping inside
A week is why, until we...

Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire

The choice for you is the view to a kill
Between the shades assassination standing still

The first crystal tears fall as snowflakes on your body
First time in years to drench your skin in lover's rosy stain
A chance to find the phoenix for the flame
A chance to die, but can we...

Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire

When all we see is the view to a kill

Ball And Chain lyrics - Duran Duran

Early morning
As the day is dawning
You're street gutter crawling
When the sun comes up

Baby crying
Says today she's dying
But she's always lying
And that's a ball'n'chain

You got the ball'n'chain
You're in the ball'n'chain gang
Coz you're the ball'n'chain man

Bruises for breakfast
Ain't nobody's business
But pain's a lonely mistress
And you can't give up
That's a ball'n'chain

Flame burning
Money that you're earning
And you will be returning
With a ball'n'chain

You got the ball'n'chain
You got the ball'n'chain
You got the ball'n'chain

Why do you love me
When you don't need me
Why do you want me all of the time?
In my whole life, didn't get no peacetime
And I don't care if I live or I die

You got the ball'n'chain
You got the ball'n'chain
You got the ball'n'chain
You got the ball'n'chain
You got the ball'n'chain

You got the ball'n'chain
You're the one to blame

You got the ball'n'chain
You're the one to blame

You got the ball'n'chain
You're the one to blame
You got to love that pain

You got the ball'n'chain
You got the ball'n'chain

Beautiful Colours lyrics - Duran Duran

Today, riding the slow train along the way
Going to who knows where and who knows when
Not knowing where you're rolling - it's the learning of this journey

I feel if all of you people gather and believe
Being what makes you breathe in is enough
Promise to carry on from each moment to the next one

These beautiful colours, infinite patterns so hard I see
And if we're all of the same stuff there's not one of you who is the same as me
Whoa, beautiful colours, indifferent for you to see
Sometimes the beauty of it all seems unbearable 'til the colours bleed
(Keep breathing...)

Design - everyone's their own universe
Besides - life is a standard issue to customize
Ashes to understanding is the nature of existence

These beautiful colours, infinite patterns so hard I see
And if we're all of the same stuff there's not one of you is the same as me
Proud beautiful colours, indifferent for you to see
Sometimes the beauty of it all seems unbearable 'til the colours bleed
(Keep breathing...)

Keep breathing
Keep loving

These beautiful colours, infinite patterns are what I see
And now if we're all of the same blood there's not one of you is the same as me
Crowds of beautiful colours, indifferent to what you believe
Sometimes the beauty of it all seems unbearable 'til the colours bleed

Keep breathing
Keep loving

Faster Than Light lyrics - Duran Duran

Why I see your face
Moving in the aerospace
White light shining, you're all alone
Scare of flying, 'cause here we come

White light, homing in
The speed of light, moving in
Faster than light, faster than light, faster than light
Faster than light, faster than light, faster than light

You see ways by the door
Pulling over years before
White light shining bright, you're all alone
Scare of flying, 'cause here we come

White light, homing in
The speed of light, moving in
Faster than light, faster than light, faster than light
Faster than light, faster than light, faster than light

Light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light, light

White light, homing in
The speed of light, moving in
Faster than light, faster than light, faster than light
Faster than light, faster than light, faster than light

Five Years lyrics - Duran Duran

(originally by David Bowie)

Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he wasn't lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
All the fat, skinny people
And all the tall, short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people

A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
And if the black guy hadn't have pulled her off
I swear she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
While the queen threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
I don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race
The way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful
I want you to walk

Five years, five years
Five years, five years
That's all we've got

We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got

We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Five years
Five years, what a surprise
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years

Khanada lyrics - Duran Duran

Didn't no one tell you money is a game playing so hard to get now
I don't even know your name

(Khanada I'll get by) Don't play with me I've nothing to lose
(Khanada I'll get by) Ain't no one's day is coming too soon
(Khanada I'll get by) I don't believe in dragons or blue
(Khanada I'll get by) I don't believe in nobody's rules

Heavy as the rain falls I might go outside just because you're with me
Doesn't mean you're not the same

(Khanada I'll get by) Don't play with me I've nothing to lose
(Khanada I'll get by) Ain't no one's day is coming too soon
(Khanada I'll get by) I don't believe in dragons or blue
(Khanada I'll get by) I don't believe in nobody's rules

Late Bar lyrics - Duran Duran

There's a hole in the wall next to you
Things with legs are crawling through
The man is searching for the door and you run
You're coming out, you're going down

There's an all night party in room 7609
(La la la late bar, la la la la la la la late)
You can dance together all night, if you've got the time
(La la la late bar, la la la la la la la late)

The bodies move like flies on the wall
You want to run but there's no space at all
The dancers spinning in the mirror ball
You're coming out, you're going 'round

There's an all night party in room 7609
(La la la late bar, la la la la la la la late)
You can dance together all night, if you've got the time
(La la la late bar, la la la la la la la late)

Just come to the late bar
Come, so fast
Drink, just do your moves...
Listen what they say...
I know what I'm talking about
I know what I'm doing, ah

There's an all night party in room 7609
(La la la late bar, la la la la la la la late)
You can dance together all night, if you've got the time
(La la la late bar, la la la la la la la late)

Like An Angel lyrics - Duran Duran

Things that you used to say
Now take on different meanings you realize
Can't be too careful about the lines
Come on you know you're not so young
You cannot hide behind disguise
Listen to your own desire

Eyes like an angel
So wise, don't lie
You never feel like this again
Fly like an angel
So high this time
You send my senses streaming free

Places you used to go
When you were young look different in the dark
Don't you worry it's OK
And maybe I can help you find your way
Tonight I think you will agree
Summer reason's run away

Eyes like an angel
So wise, don't lie
You never feel like this again
Fly like an angel
So high this time
You send my senses streaming free

Oh, I hear your heart beating even faster now than mine
Now you know just what I mean
So take your place among those twilight gleaming rivers that you read
Give me reasons to believe

Eyes like an angel
So wise don't lie
You never feel like this again
Fly like an angel
So high this time
You send my senses streaming free

Like an angel
Like an angel

Lonely Business lyrics - Duran Duran

Waiting for you
It's a lonely business
What more can I do
I could be here until Christmas

Why do you want to go saying those sins about me?
Don't you know that a girl can't be made to hurry?
Don't you want me to feel like a million dollars?
I'm just taking some time out to make a difference

Chained, one step over the line
Trying to get something to work
All I need is someone to say

After all
What's the mystery?
When everybody wants to know
About destiny

Just trying to kill a little time
Working hard day to day
Why complain about it
Don't you know that a man can't be mad about it

Woman at the top
Why's the story so familiar
Something's got to drop

For this hombre to remain here
Chained, dream up some while she's trying
Trying to find something to wear

All you need is someone to say
Here we go
What's the mystery?
When everybody wants to know

About destiny
Are you ready for the use of time?
Waiting for you
It's a lonely business

What more can I do
I could be here until Christmas
Chained, one step over the line
Trying to get something to work
All I need is someone to say

After all
What's the mystery?
When everybody wants to know
About destiny
Just trying to kill a little time

What's the mystery? 'cause everybody wants to know
What's their destiny?
Are you ready for the use of time?
What's the mystery?

Pretty Ones lyrics - Duran Duran

Pony up girl, show and tell - go Chanel on crocodile
Hipster low slung lazy feet
Hit the street Latino style

Going down to the disco
Where she's gonna star in some fiasco
Anywhere the party's on
Break of day - San Tropez to Fresno, she's the type

And another thing... (you pretty ones)
We love the way you are
We'll do anything (you pretty ones)
Older than n'est paz
All the pretty ones (you pretty ones)
Love the way you are
You pretty ones (you pretty ones)
La la la la la

Here she comes, off the rail - DNA laced with nicotine
Shame the sun
Walking proud, talking loud for all you glamour queens

We're going down to the disco
And we're gonna grind out a floor show
Everyday's a change 'round the world - Daddy's girl wherever she may be

And another thing... (you pretty ones)
We love the way you are
We'll do anything (you pretty ones)
Older than n'est paz
All the pretty ones (you pretty ones)
Love the way you are
You pretty ones (you pretty ones)
La la la la la

Salt In The Rainbow lyrics - Duran Duran

Something to remember
In some far-off time
When you get that lonely shine in your eye

Dreams and lovers
Ever wonder why
When everything starts breaking down
They're reaching for the sky

You are forever
All I understand
I hold forever
Here within my hands (forever, together, we're gonna live forever)

Picking through the pieces
And what do you have at all?
Just the danger of relying on those who'd let you fall

So you try, try much harder
Until the truth is drawn
The very thing you've been searching for
Has been yours all along

We are forever
All we understand
This is forever
Here within our hands (forever, together, we're gonna live forever)

In the end, to you my friend
It's you I've got to know
Ain't no going back now

Even if I could I wouldn't change a thing,
I'd do it all over
Just a minute now
And breathe a little deeper
All these moments of our lives

Of the flickering of an endless sea
We're ripples
With the salt in the rainbow

We are forever
All we understand (forever, together, we're gonna live forever)
This is forever
Here within our hands (forever, together, we're gonna live forever)

Secret Oktober lyrics - Duran Duran

Wise on a birthday party
In a world full of surprising fireworks
And sudden silence
Shh
Lies on a stranger's bed
The new day breaks like a speeding train or an old friend
Never expected, but never knocking
Holding your own in a battered car
All-night parties, cocktail bars and smile
When the butterfly escapes the killing jar

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in secret Oktober

Free fall on a windy morning shore
Nothing but a fading track of footsteps
Could prove that you'd ever been there
Spoken on a cotton cloud
Like the sound of gunshot taken by the wind
And lost in distant thunder
Racing on a shining plain
And tomorrow, you'll be content to watch
As the lightning plays along the wires and you'll wonder

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in secret Oktober
Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in secret Oktober

Silent Icy River lyrics - Duran Duran

Following the love we receive
Holding on to what you believe
Following the life we receive
Holding on to what you believe

Following the love we receive
Holding on to what you believe
Following the life we receive
Holding on to what you believe

Time is a ribbon, a silent icy river, fools us all
Running deep, deep and fast enough
To get lost down in the flow thrashing around me
These tiny lives mean everything

Following the love we receive
Holding on to what you believe
Following the life we receive
Holding on to what you believe

To The Shore lyrics - Duran Duran

Oh when your nine day feed is up and you've drained your loving cup
Come stands reeling to the shore oh when the brave are coming out
The dry fight and the dusty shout see you crawling on the floor
And diamond stars shining glitter bright gorging your sanhedralites
Words are falling to the floor glad stand pouring fruit trees
And now they glisten on the waterline sing home you are at the shore
I'm moving crissie pretty flowers in the shuttermaze
Haul up all your petty desires leave them lying down they fall
Wash away the rusty disease of your brown town days in our silver sea
Leave it dying at the door feather yellow your time to leave
Open out your arms and breathe
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to the shore now
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to the shore now come on

TV vs Radio lyrics - Duran Duran

Hey wait a minute - news:
Here we go again
So open to abuse
So one night stand
It's just a milky breast
Oh gimme gimme yeah (woo-hoo)

We don't really care
We're watching cartoons

We want that music (we won't stop)
Bangin' on the radio (we love you)
And we want TV (stop)
What is gettin' on that video? (video)
We use it (we won't stop)
TV versus radio (we love you)
Believe me (stop)
We need it more than ever now, you know (video)

I'll get down on your knees
If that's what you love
A little striptease
A little push and show
Do you scroll your prayers
For daddy money, yeah (woo-hoo)

We don't really care
We're watching cartoons

We want that music (we won't stop)
Bangin' on the radio (we love you)
And we want TV (stop)
What is gettin' on that video? (video)
We use it (we won't stop)
TV versus radio (we love you)
Believe me (stop)
We need it more than ever now, you know (video)

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 coz words like sand just get blown away
All those things we'd like to say

We need you [Repeat ad lib and end]
