Of Crime And Passion lyrics - Duran Duran

Why did you let me run

When you knew I'd fall for the gaping hole

Where your heart should be?

Liar couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried

Just take a look (before you run off and hide)

At your victim

Arise

Clouds on your shoulder

Aren't they grazed by the afterglow?

How quiet they gather

When the storm's about to blow

Now don't look away (Crime and passion)

Caught in the crossfire

And it ain't no wind of change (Crime and passion)

I'm talking of crime and passion's rage

Summer of madness or the undertow

Dragged me up an alley for the blossoming fire

On a stranger's smile

Bride of wire-how disguise so easily cracked

Saw your heart turn spade

This orchid's turned to black

Graze on your shoulder

Like the clouds in the afterglow

How quiet they gather

When the storm is about to blow

Now don't look away (Crime and passion)

Caught in the crossfire

And it ain't no wind of change (Crime and passion)

I'm talking of crime and passion's rage

Way down by the shoulder

In the haze of the afterglow

Stranded together

And the storm's about to blow

Now don't look away (Crime and passion)

Caught in the crossfire

And it ain't no wind of change (Crime and passion)

I'm talking of crime and passion

Don't look away

Caught in the crossfire

And it ain't no wind of change (Crime and passion)

I'm talking of crime and passion

Don't look away (Crime and passion)

Caught in the crossfire

And it ain't no wind of change

I'm talking of crime and passion

Union Of The Snake lyrics - Duran Duran

Telegram force and ready

I knew this was a big mistake

There's a fine line drawing

My senses together

And I think it's about to break

If I listen close I can hear them singers

Voices in your body coming through on the radio

The Union of the Snake is on the climb

Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break

Through the borderline

Nightshades on a warning

Give me strength at least give me a light

Give me anything even sympathy

There's a chance you could be right

If I listen close I can hear them singers

Voices in your body coming through on the radio

The Union of the Snake is on the climb

Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break

Through the borderline

The Union of the Snake is on the climb

Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break

Through the borderline

If I listen close I can hear them singers

Voices in your body coming through on the radio

The Union of the Snake is on the climb

Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break

Through the borderline

The Union of the Snake is on the climb

Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break

Gonna move up to the borderline

The Union of the Snake is on the climb

Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break

Through the borderline

Shadows On Your Side lyrics - Duran Duran

Shackled and raised for a shining crowd

They want you to speak but the music is louder than all of their roar

With the heat of the planet's core

But the shadows are on your side

As soon as the lights go down

In the darkest place you can find

You belong to the hands of the night

Promises made with a distant friend

Truth should be known it can only bend

To a tune of its own

Hey, you'll never hear that voice again

Scandal in white on a tangled vine

With everybody to say that you're having the time of your life

When your life is on the slide

But the shadows are on your side

As soon as the lights go down

In the darkest place you can find

You belong to the hands of the night

Shadows are on your side

As soon as the lights go down

In the darkest place you can find

You belong to the hands of the night

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Spinning a compass to choose your way

You can run, you can dive

You can stand and you can soar

Whichever way you can be sure that

The shadows are on your side

As soon as the lights go down

In the darkest place you can find

You belong to the hands of the night

Shadows are on your side

As soon as the lights go down

In the darkest place you can find

You belong to the hands of the night

Shadows on your side

The shadows are on your side

Shadows on your side

The shadows are on your side

Shadows on your side

The shadows are on your side

The Seventh Stranger lyrics - Duran Duran

Those words are all remainders

Echoes growing in the heart of twilight

They lay back laughing at naivety's star

Awaken all those whispers

The dusty shadow of a passing favour

I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right

I couldn't see from so far

Was I chasing after rainbows?

One thing for sure you never answered when I called

And I wiped away the water from my face

To look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd

Trading in my shelter for danger

I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down

In the eyes of a stranger

Can't tell the real from reflection

When all these faces look the same to me

In every city such a desolate dream

Some days are strange to number

Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger

A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by

(I could have sworn) in one evening

And I'm not seized in desperation

No steel reproaches on the table from before

But I still can feel those splinters of ice

I look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd

Trading in my shelter for danger

I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down

In the eyes of a stranger

I must be chasing after rainbows

One thing for sure you never answer when I call

And I wipe away the water from my face

To look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumour in the wake of such a lonely crowd

Trading in my shelter for danger

I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down

Walking away like a stranger

From rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd

Trading in my shelter for danger

I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down

In the eyes of a stranger

Oh

In the eyes of a stranger

In the eyes of a stranger

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?

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]
