Girls On Film

See them walking hand in hand

Across the bridge at midnight

Heads turning as the lights flashing out

Are so bright

And walk right out to the four line track

There's a camera rolling on her back

On her back

And I sense a 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

And 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, smile and 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 til I'm shooting a star

Girls on Film (she's more than a lady)

Planet Earth

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? is 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 this calling planet earth bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this looking at planet earth bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth


Anyone Out There

I never found out what made you leave and now the day is over just an hour to go

I tried to phone last night but you didn't answer just left me ringing on the line 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 which does not align

I tried to sleep last night but I've caught your 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 another light comes on in vain

I tried to phone last night but you never answered just let me ringing in the air is there anyone out there? ohoh anyone out there, anyone out there? ohoh anyone out there, anyone out there? ohoh anyone out there, anyone out there? ohoh anyone out there?



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 gunsmoke 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 gunsmoke 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? cuz 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...


Night Boat

Standing... on the edge of the quay no lights flashing on the water for me fog in my mind darkens in my eyes silently screaming for a distant sound ripple river yellow-- rising for a breath of breeding and drowns stillness overcome me in the night listen... to the rising water moan

I'm waiting waiting, for the nightboat


Shadows all through me shudder away echo me, echo me... am I alone, or is the river alive? cuz it echoes me, echoes me-- echoes me...



I'm waiting... waiting for the nightboat..

I'm waiting... waiting for the nightboat....

I'm waiting for the nightboat...


Sound Of Thunder

I've been in this grass here for the last 10 hours

My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry

How does it happen? Does it fly through the air?

Oh 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 corner, stick 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 fade out


Friends Of Mine

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 Davies is coming out

Oh no, not me, I'm not too late,

And I know that I'm not taking any more

Rocky Picture has lost his gun

Oh no, not me, I'm not too late

And I know that I'm not waiting any more

Hey hey

Through the eyes - 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


And I know that I'm not waiting any more

Rocky Picture has lost his gun




Hey hey

(pictures on the wall they're all friends of yours see them sell your alibi it runs you by think yourself lucky!)

Friends of mine - They said they were friends of mine

They were just wasting time - Out on the dotted line

The 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 any more

Rocky Picture's thrown away his gun




What you doing, friends of mine

Holding back now, friends of mine

I've always heard you calling...

To The Shore

When your nine day feed is up

And you've drained your loving cup

Come stands reeling to the shore

When the brave are coming out

The dry fight and the dusty shout

See you crawling on the floor

And diamond stars shine glitter bright

Gorging your sanhedralite

Words are falling to the floor

Glands stand pouring fruit tree

Now they glisten on the waterline

See how you are at the shore

I'm moving chrissie pretty flowers in the shutter maze

Haul up all your petty desires

Leave it lying down before

Wash away the rusty disease

Of your brown town days in our silver sea

Leave it dying at the door

Feather yell you've time to leave

Open out your arms and breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Duran Duran – Rio (1982 – EMI/Capitol - Tritec Music Ltd.)

Rio

Wow!

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

Hey now (wow), 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

I tell you something, I know what you're thinking

I tell you something, I know what you're thinking

CHORUS

Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand

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

Duran Duran – Rio (1982 – EMI/Capitol - Tritec Music Ltd/ Peterman Music/ Carlin Music.)

My Own Way

I saw you at the airace 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

I ain't your problem anyway

CHORUS

'Cause I've got my own way

I can find my own way

'Cause I've got my own way

No. 1 public figure, what a pain

Just puts another rattle in your brain

Take another green but it's not the same

Now you're on the Sandlane everyday

Dancing with the bulls in any old way

Running like a fox to keep up with me

CHORUS

I'm on 45th between Sixth and Broadway

7UP between Sixth and Broadway


Lonely In Your Nightmare

even on the darkest night when empty promise means empty hand and soldiers coming home like shadows turning red 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 the passing glimmer warm beneath your skin please treat so 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 and 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 heath beneath your winter let me in because it's silent in your stone field let me in and you're lonely in your nightmare let me in because you've waited through the ice age let me in because you're so lonely in your nightmare let me in and it's cold out on your stone range let me in because there's heat beneath your winter let me in



Darken the city, night is a wire

Steam in the subway, earth is a 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


In touch with the ground

I'm on the hunt 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


Mouth is alive with juices like wine


Stalked in the forest, too close to hide

I'll be upon you by the moonlight side


High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight

You feel my heart, I'm just a moment behind


In touch with the ground


Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found


Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme

I howl and I whine, I'm after you

Mouth is alive, al lrunning inside

And i'm hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf



Burning the ground, I break from the crowd

I'm on the hunt, I'm after you

I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found


Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme

I'm on the hunt, I'm after you

Mouth is alive with juices like wine



Hold Back The Rain

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 just can't laugh all the time

CHORUS

And if the fires burn out,

There's only fire to blame

No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again

The clouds all scatter and

We ride the outside lane

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

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

CHORUS


New Religion

I've been now sauntering out and down the path sometime

Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I knew

Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things

Telling me not there, man, it's no go – (Don't go there boy)

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

Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind

Lady screaming, lady leave me out

'Cause sometimes people stare

Coming down, electric chair

And steaming crowds they gather and they shout

CHORUS

(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

CHORUS



Gotta 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, there lying in a swimming pool

Searching for the undeniable truth that a man is just a fool

CHORUS



(repeat to fade)


Last Chance On The Stairway

I don't remember quite how I met you,

Wasn't long ago

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

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

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 traced

Ain't no game...when you're playing with fire

It doesn't seem right that we fight

So the party runs on all night


My beats so in time, can you look at me


So nervous to say, tell me, can't you see

If you want, I fall out forever

I can't say no more...bebe dance with me

And please don't say leave it till later


Wonder why

Wonder why...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

I don't even know what you're thinking

Don't even know what you're drinking

But it keeps this heaven alive


My beats so in time, can you look at me


So nervous to say, tell me, can't you see

If you want, I fall out forever

I can't say no more...bebe dance with me

And please don't say leave it till later



Save A Prayer

You saw me standing by the wall,

Corner of a 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 save a prayer for me now,

Save it 'til the morning after

No, don't say a prayer for me now,


Feel the breeze deep on the inside,

Look you down into the 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,

Save it till 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,

I'll 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 a prayer 'til the morning after


The Chauffeur

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

CHORUS

The sun slips 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

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

Duran Duran – Seven And The Ragged Tiger (1983 – EMI/Capitol - Tritec Music Ltd.)

The Reflex

"You've gone too far this time"

But I'm dancing on the valentine

I tell you somebody's fooling around

With my chances on the dangerline

I'll cross that bridge when I find it

Another day to make my stand

High time is no time for deciding

If I should find a helping hand

CHORUS

So why don't you use it?

Try not to bruise it

Buy time don't lose it

The reflex is an only child he's waiting in the park

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark

And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre

Every little thing the reflex does

Leaves you answered with a question mark

I'm on a ride and I want to get off

But they won't slow down the roundabout

I sold the Renoir and the TV set

Don't want to be around when this gets out

CHORUS

Oh the reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark

And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre

Evey little thing the reflex does

Leaves you answered with a question mark



Shake up the picture the lizard mixture

With your dance on the eventide

You got me coming up with answers

All of which I deny

I said it again

Could I please rephrase it

Maybe I can catch a ride

I couldn't really put it much plainer

But I'll wait till you decide

Send me your warning siren

As if I could ever hide

Last time La Luna

CHORUS

I light my torch and wave it for the

New moon on Monday

And a firedance through the night

I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

Breaking away with the best of both worlds

A smile that you can't disguise

Every minute I keep finding

Clues that you leave behind

Save me from these reminders

As if I'd forget tonight

This time La Luna

CHORUS


(I’m Looking For) Cracks In The Pavement

I shed my skin

When the party was about to begin

I'm light years away but I'm walking back tonight

Of all nights

When I should be feeling just right

Don't want to be in public

My head is full of chopstick

I don't like it

CHORUS

Something on my mind

Breaking open doors I had sealed up before

Something on my mind

Makes me run when I thought I'd run too far

Somebody shaking my tree

Maybe that somebody is me

I'm standing in the light but

I'm making a break for the shadows

On the cinema wall

They should be mine but I'm not that tall

Now I'm saying this in privaate

If I had a car I'd drive it

Insane

CHORUS

I'm looking for cracks in the pavement


I Take The Dice

Midnight I think I'm gonna make it

Feel the magical lash of the roll and the crash in their lives

Headline in tomorrow's papers

Kill that light it's so bright

And you're shining it right in my eyes

CHORUS

Show me your secret and tell me your name

Catch me with your fizzy smile

Try to remember again and again

What it is that I recognise

Don't ask me now

When I need you I don't know how

To believe in your advice

Just this once I take the dice

Midnight so what's the point of faking

For a kiss or a whisper you pull out a desperate prize

Hold tight onto Daddy's bracelet

Make them pay for their chances

With money they don't think that's nice

CHORUS


Of Crime And Passion

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 you shoulder

Aren't they grazed by the afterglow

How quiet they gather

When the storm is about to blow

CHORUS

No don't look away

Caught in the crossfire

And it ain't no wind of change

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

CHORUS

Way down by the shoulder

In the haze of the afterglow

Stranded together

And the storm is about to blow

CHORUS



Telegram force and ready

I knew this was a big mistake

There'sa 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

The Union of the Snake is on the climb

It's gonna race it's gonna break

Gonna move up to the borderline


Shadows On Your Side

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

Shadows on your side

The shadows are on your side



Those words are all remainders

Echoes growing in the heart of twilight

They lay back laughing at naivety's star

Awaken all those whispers in 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 reflections

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




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



Walking away like a stranger

From rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd

Wild Boys

The wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire in august moon's surrender to a dust cloud on the rise wild boys fallen far from glory reckless and so hungered on the razors edge you trail because there's murder by the roadside in a sore afraid new world

they tried to break us,

looks like they'll try again wild boys never lose it wild boys never chose this way wild boys never close your eyes wild boys always shine you got sirens for a welcome there's bloodstain for your pain and your telephone been ringing while you're dancing in the rain wild boys wonder where is glory where is all you angels now the figureheads have fell and lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell

they tried to tame you

looks like they'll try again wild boys never lose it wild boys never chose this way wild boys never close your eyes wild boys always shine

Duran Duran – Notorious (1986 – EMI/Capitol - Tritec Music Ltd, D.D. Productions Ltd.)

Notorious

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?

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS


CHORUS

CHORUS

That's why I've done it again. No. No.



No-no-Notorious. Yeah.


No-no-Notorious. Yeah.


No-no-Notorious.


American Science

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.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS (Repeat for FADE)


Skin Trade

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.

CHORUS

Would someone please explain

The reason for this strange behaviour.

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 rules.

When it comes to making money,

Say yes, please; thank you.

Sometimes you wonder, and ask yourself the question.

CHORUS (Repeated)

I know the answer, but I'm asking you the question.

CHORUS (Repeat for FADE)


A Matter Of Feeling

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.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS

You can...CHORUS

A matter of feeling. A matter of feeling.

A matter of feeling. A matter of feeling.


Hold Me

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.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS

Na na na na na na na. Hold Me.

Na na na na na na. Show me.

No na na na na na na na na na.

CHORUS


Vertigo (Do The Demolition)

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.


On the dark of power in confusion.


Don't lose the chance to hear 'cause you don't listen.

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe you can try to believe it.

Just need a little help tonight.


On the dark side of power in confusion.




On the dark side of power in confusion.



Repeat for FADE:

Hear it when you listen.

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


So Misled

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 you whipping boy.

Don't wanna feel the crack.

Trust my head to say lose it;

Now my body's got to use it.

CHORUS

I should not be So Misled.

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.

CHORUS

Instrumental ad lib.

CHORUS (Repeated for FADE)


"Meet El Presidente"

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.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS

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!

CHORUS (Repeat till finish)


Winter Marches On

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.


Loud is the music the crowd is bringing


Loud is the music. The sky is ringing.


And on.

Winter marches on.

Proposition

"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.

CHORUS

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 dead you must be scared instead.

CHORUS

When all your pain lies dead you must be scared instead.

I Don't Want Your Love

I don't mind if you're keeping someone else behind

I don't care 'cause you've got something I can share

Hey, take a chance, even if it's only only while we're dancing in the light of your second sight because when you understand me you might feel good around me now.

CHORUS

I don't want your love to bring me down

I don't want your love so turn it around

I won't turn you out if you've got someone else someone else you care about because you must realise my obsessive fascination is in your imagination

CHORUS

Your rhythym is the power to move me

It's something you control completely

I don't want your love


I like noise 'cause I like waking up the house

I cannot sit down. I can't shut my mouth

But when you understand me, you might feel good around me

CHORUS

Your rhythym is the power to move me

It's something you control completely





All she wants is

All she wants is

All she wants is

Spend your money on the corner now

Know you've gotta save some for the shoeshine boys

You've been pulling 'em by the hand inside

Oh...collecting all your toys

If you need a lead heaven now, just stick around--

You're going to be there

What do you dare?

What do you care?

What does your heart say now?

All she wants is

All she wants is

All she wants is

Divine intervention couldn't keep the word from leaking out

With your pleasure in suspension

Not to mention what you hang it around

If you need a lead to heaven, yeah

A place to share

In every position

What do you dare?

What do you care?

What does your heart say now?

All she wants is

All she wants is

All she wants is

More...

All she wants is (repeat to fade)


Too Late Marlene

Waking out of nowhere

And I let you in

Til my imagination went for a spin

I seen you every night

Been making out since then

And still I wonder why everybody's saying

That ice is thin.

And I think I know you

Just a little bit by nowA

And I think I can show you

You see baby, I don't want to fight about it

Send down your rain

Then who's to blame

And you'll understand because its' much too late to change

Awaken to this hunger

And then watch my heat

Grow paler than the moonlight

That you made me eat

And if we run our lives

Along a one way street

We'll always wonder why everytime

It still tastes just as sweet

Send down your rain

Then who's to blame

You'll understand

Because it's much too late to change

I will explain

We're to much the same

No I won't leave

Because it's just too late Marlene


Drug (It’s Just A State Of Mind)

Take me every morning

Take me every night

Take me when you're feeling low

Take me when you want to stay

up all night

Before you slip into the white there's something i want you to know in all your stretch of consciousness you've still got a long way to go

Some make you spin,

Some make you sweat, it's only here for you to choose

Some like it hot,

But I like it wet, so tell me... what have we got to lose now?


Take me every night



up all night

(a hit, a hit)

A hit to fit reality

It's just a state of mind and you, and it, it's more than just and that's what you've got to find we'll make you spin, we'll make you sweat all you have to do is choose me and if you would try and alternative high then tell me, what have we got to lose now?


Take me every night



up all night


Take me every night



up all night


Do You Believe In Shame?

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in shame?

And if love can conquer all then why do we only feel the pain?

I heard you speak my name heard you singing The Stones maybe heard you laughing in a line of static on my telephone

So why your eyelids are closed, inside a case of rust

And did you have to change all your poets fire into frozen dust

I've tried to justify it to learn from your mistake

But where's the stupid lie that has to make it's point with such a pointless waste

Come out

Do you believe in shame?


And if they taste the same would you love again or abandon both?

I don't think I ever can belive my friend has gone

Keep saying it's alright I'm going to bring you back but I know I'm wrong

There's nothing I can say there's nothing left to do

It's just that lately I feel so damn lonely when I think of you

And it may seem selfish now but I'll hold on to the memory

Until all this fear is washed away


Do you believe in life?

'Cos I believe a little part of you inside of me will never die...


Palomino

She lays on the wall watching the strangers drift away mid-day's ore--thick with the sun of Arabia she surrenders her voices they gather, on the wind talkin, chanting, breathing into her body...yesterday

Awakened beside the scent of burnt sugar--on the skin painting eyes--thick with the color she brings in oh, and sure and strong when the lightning tumbles down don't you frown everything will be in time for this evening if there's secrets she has to be pardoned to every one of them if there's heaven she gets to the heart

CHORUS and you'll know... why she says when I run out of blue help me rise instead then I will run to you why she says when I run out of blue give me rain instead now let me run... (let me run) if there's secrets she has to be pardoned to every one of them if there's heaven she gets to the heart

CHORUS

Hey-hey.... why she says when I run out of blue help me rise instead then I will run to you why she says when I run out of blue give me rain instead then I will run to you

Land

Baby, I'm really sorry to break your dream when it's so early

Headlights on the windowpane they're getting lost in the light of day tomorrow is today and soon my ship will sail

Away from here to walk a howling sealane stay for me your love is life for love is land

Baby, just hear my story before I leave before we write the end

Standing, across the ocean stream

I'll need to know

I'll need your country then tomorrow and today you keep my landfall safe away from here (away from here) to walk a howling sealane (away from you) stay for me (stay for me)

I need your love to land away from here (away from here) to walk a howling sealane (away from you) stay for me (stay for me) your love is life, for love is land away from here (away from here) to walk a howling sealane (away from you) stay for me (stay for me)

I need your love to land away from here (away from here) to walk a howling sealane (away from you) stay for me (stay for me) your love is life, for love is land love is land love is land love is land


The Edge Of America

Walk the edge of America

A concrete beach to scrape my hand inside the subway stinking fear and shame becomes the violent breath

Vigilantes out on dawn patrol but now there's nothing left to hide

I'm just a number on the metal fence which marks the great divide

Hey boy give your dreams a rest if you're tired of searching this is where it ends there's nothing left to lose nothing to protest learn to love your anger now anger here is all you possess welcome to the age

Below the towers of the citadel

Seems someone overlooked the cost

Forgotten soldier of paradise now paradise is lost

Recognition never realized

Salvation lost among the crowd

So tell me beside this sterile sea where is your nation now?

And we say

Hey boy give your dreams a rest if you're tired of searching this is where it ends there's nothing left to lose nothing to protest learn to love your anger now anger here is all you possess welcome to the edge

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 over sea

Could it be the whole earth opening wide

A sacred why

A mystery gaping inside

The weekends why

Until we

Dance into the fire

That fatal kiss is all we need

Dance in the the fire

To fatal sounds of broken dreams

Dance in to the fire


Dance into the fire

Choice for you is the view to a kill

Between the shades assasination standing still

First crystal tears

Fall of snowflakes on your body

First time in years

To drench your skin with lovers rosy stain

A chance to find

A phoenix for the flame

A chance to die

But can we

Dance into the fire


Dance into the fire

To fatal sounds of broken dreams

Dance into the fire


Dance into the fire

When all we see is the view to a kill

Can You Deal With It?

There must be somebody who'll make love to me

Blow the rules away trash these yesterdays

Live in sympathy use psychology

To find the twist in me

Can you deal with it?

A recent enquiry showed no boundary

Love's the only way can you handle it?






(when you ain't sorry...)


(for all that you apologize)

Working up to something

I know you're up to something


(something's got to happen)


(something's got to get me up)


(nothing ever happens)


(nothing's ever good enough)


Venice Drowning

Venice breeding shy chimeras

of sex and violence in the purple evening silence

Venice dreaming of a partner

Fills your hands with breasts of marble

from the cradle to the table coax this naked treasure from

your saviour come swim into my love come swim into my life divine blasphemer tempting

holy beads of jism with the scarlet catechism

her lips will answer

(oh, her lips will answer) how to be ther perfect stranger

the perfect lover wanting and as you'll discover...giving and as you'll discover...being come swim into my love come swim into my life enter this sublime corrosion

Venice drowning in emotion the body stirs and is reanimated only briefly-- but then life is very brief

Venice drowning

Venice drowning

Venice drowning

Venice drowning


Downtown

Deliver us from evil we go with the flow but here's a little secret

I think you ought to know

Providers and abusers they know where to go with Sunday refugees from Sunday TV shows

Downtown all of the way down

Downtown all of the way downtown

Let's sink imagination past your wildest wild

(all of the way downtown)

Go way below below below is it such a crime?

The uptown can't teach you how to live they don't have the time

Coz where i'm gonna take you is a state of mine


Downtown all of the way downtown


Downtown all of the way downtown you better learn to use your heart you got to loose your money you better use it all up coz you can't take it with you when you're going down...

You'll never come home babe

You'll never come home baby

And you'll never be alone

All of the way downtown all of the way... down down down

Downtown...

Dialate your Mind - Dialate your Mind - Dialate your Mind

Got to give it to me - Got to listen to me

Got to give to me - Now I'm on the line

Ordinary World

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?

Crazy, some'd say

Where is the life that I recognize? gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find and as I try to make my way to the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say

"Pride will tear us both apart"

Well now pride's gone out the window cross the rooftops run away left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?

Crazy, some'd say

Where is my friend when I need you most?

Gone away but I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find and as I try to make my way to the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed here today, forgot tomorrow ooh, here besides the news of holy war and holy need ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find and as I try to make my way to the ordinary world

I will learn to survive every world is my world (I will learn to survive) any world is my world (I will learn to survive) any world is my world every world is my world


Love Voodoo

When I first met you on the roof

You cought me in your web of youth

But now I know the wicked truth

It's much to late so what's the use in fighting?

You peel me like an onion skin

And wonder at the state I'm in

One day you'll turn up to begin

And find there's nothing left but innuendo

Beside you others fade away

Like Amateurs in love's charade

Much more than just a game you play

These certain rules become a way of living

Night after night I try to prove

That I can resist you

Tied up inside your Love Voodoo

Designed to Manipulate

The Queen of sensuality

You shelter me from Liberty

It's nothing short of Piracy

That's not to say it doesn't please me sometimes.

Now this may come as no surprise

But I'm content to compromise

Until the day you realize

That I have been manipulating you





MID

Yes, I'm tied up inside your loving

But it's voodoo to me

Everynight how I try

How I try to resist you

But it's no good to me










Drowning Man

He's sinking faster than a drowning man

He'll grab a hold of anyone he can

Gun in his poket and a heart of ham

Uncle Sam

He's dying faster than a rabid dog

Infect us all now he's losing blood

Nose for trouble and a soul of rock

Smokey's man

Don't drag me down

I don't wanna drown

Your going down

NA NANA NA NANA NANA NA NA

There's not much flesh

Just skin and bone

Cheeks sunk deep

Eyes popping wide

Don't put out a hand to help him

This drowning man will bite it right off

RIGHT OFF

RIGHT OFF

RIGHT OFF

Don't drag me down

I don't wanna drown

Your going down


MID

He's selling faster than a magazine

Infect us all with his TV Screen

Don't drag me down

I don't wanna drown

Your going down



Shotgun

Get it together

Thing is jumpin'

I wanna see your

Bullets pumpin'

Shotgun

Itchy finger

On the trigger

Got to make the

Shooter bigger

Shotgun


Come Undone

Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin

I've been waiting for you

Signed, with a home tattoo,

Happy birthday to you was created for you

(can't ever keep from falling apart

At the seams

Can't I believe you're taking my heart

To pieces)

Oh, it'll take a little time, might take a little crime to come undone now

(PRECHORUS)

We'll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside

Hey child, stay wilder than the wind

And blow me in to cry

(CHORUS)

Who do you need, who do you love

When you come undone

(repeat)

Words, playing me deja vu

Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before

Chill, is it something real

Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers

(Can't ever keep from falling apart

At the seams

Can I believe you're taking my heart

To pieces)

Lost, in a snow filled sky, we'll make it alright

To come undone now

Breath After Breath

Breath After Breath

Ama! Danca!

Every day I wake up in this room and I don't know

Where I come from, where I'm going to then I hear the voice

Senhora musa da paz Me abraca me carrega no teu andor

Dormir no colo da dor Amiga, arrasa!

A tua mao desenhou O sonho na areia

Agora, entrega de vez Meu rumo E vida

From where I stand

The truth isn't black and white

Alone we live and die

We love and fight

Breath after breath we carry this mortal coil

Safe for tomorrow

Do I dare oh do I dare follow through the goorsteps my whole body hears

Beating on my heart like a feather beating of a moment til I disappear

Diga uma palavra alegre Manda um recado

Que seja agoca Faz o mundo ficar novo

E dancar no colo do tal de amor

From where I stand

The truth isn't black and white

Alone we live and die

We love and fight


Safe for tomorrow

Circles in sand are washed out into the sea

Just as we slip on through to eternity


Safe for tomorrow

Diga uma palavra, cara Bem alegre

Corre, manda logo um recado Me abraca

Faz um clima doce Me arrepia!

Chega de sufocol Me poe louco!

Me faz diamante Teu amante

Danca ao som do vento Me ensina

Basta de sufoco Nao faz jogo...

A flame of love is burning … Always

The song is of the planets oh whooooooo

The dance is to the rhythm of the rain

Where everyone is coming from is coming to

And birth is just a breath after breath


UMF

Here we stand in the shadow of the master plan

Makin' touble wherever we can, stir it up, stir it up, stir it up

Can't you see this boy is going cheap - knockdown to a basement deal

But I really won't stop til I get to the top

Take it from me, I'm waiting here on my knees

And I love the way you tease me

(oh) such a wonderful person

Don't play rough - it's easy when you know your stuff

Say please and sure enough, so kind,

I'm makin love to the ultimate mind

Come on, take a look, put it to me, baby

You could feel a love come tumbling down

I just want to wrap myself in you baby

We could tell the world we're fooling around

Ultimately, I'd say shes toying with me

It's a case of wait and see, but right now I'm gonna keep my pants on

A to Zed, shes doin' it to my head

We don't need to go to bed, you'll find, to make love to the ultimate mind

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...) Put it to me, baby (you could feel a love...)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...) Wanna wrap myself in you, baby (we'll tell the world...)

Talk me round, let's do it right here and now

I don't want you cooling down, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

We could fit reality's two-way split personality

Life's a bitch, but I'm fine, making love to the ultimate mind

Heaven's bent, we're completely innocent

We all got to pay the rent, and in time we learn to compromise

Talkin' tall, but I feel invisible

Can you see me after all that I said, there's only one thing for it

Take a look, put it to me, baby

You could feel a love come tumbling down

I just want to wrap myself in you baby

We can tell the world were fooling around

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...) Come on, take a look, put it to me, baby

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...) You could be a love come tumbling down

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...) I just want to wrap myself in you baby

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...) We could tell the world we're fooling around

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...) Come on, take a look, put it to me, baby

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...) You could feel a love come tumbling down

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...) I just want to wrap myself in you baby

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...) We could tell the world we're fooling around

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...) Come on, take a look (put it to me baby)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...) (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...) (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...)

I'm making love to the ultimate mind - Ultimate mind - Ultimate mind...


None Of The Above

There was a time I was so afraid

Of everything people around me said

That I wanted to hide my face in the shadows

There was a time on a bed of nails

I was dreaming a plan I thought could not fail

But no power under the sun could pull it together

I can't take this attitude

Got to show now I got to move on

God knows where I'm going to

Its a lonely burning question

I am I myself alone

Realize I never need to use No-one

Money, power, Holy roads.

Freedom puts my faith in none of the above

If there's a time that we ever see

The nature of life in reality

Then I want to be there

To kick at the answer

I can't take this attitude

Got to show now I got to move on

God knows where I'm going to

Its a lonely burning question

I am I myself alone




I am I myself alone




I am I myself alone




I am I myself alone




None of the above

I stand by none of the above

Femme Fatale

Here she comes you better watch your step.

She's going to break your heart in two

Its true it's not hard to realize

Just look into her false coloured eyes

She'll build you up just to put you down,

What a clown

'Coz everybody knows... she's a femme fatale

Things she does to please, sees just a little tease

See the way she walks, hear the way she talks

You're written in her book,

You're number 37 take a look

She's going to smile to make you frown, what a clown

Little boy she's from the street

Before you start your're already beat

She's going to play you for a fool

Yes it's true



See the way she walks, hear the way she talks

She will try to put you doen, the hardest girl around



She's a femme fatale.


Shelter

I watch you from my window working this vicious road

You shudder when the wind blows girl you're looking beat and cold

Don't know your situation but you look so alone to me

In my imagination this is how the message reads

Just come softly to me in the shelter of my heart

Trust my intuition you're the one I've got to know

I give without condition wouldn't try to save your soul

Money or reputation doesn't mean a thing to me

Special communication it's the only thing we need

Reaching out... Calling out

Just come softly to me

Calling out...

Hear me now

In the shelter of my heat

Reaching out... calling out...

Hear me now... do you read me?

In the shelter of my heart.

Here is no pain to feel

Here is safe for lips unsealed

Just come softly to me

Reaching out

Reaching out for your love babe

Calling out

Calling out for your love for your love babe

Just come softly to me in the shelter of my heart


To Whom It May Concern

Dear Mr. Bones, I've [We've] had enough you can try to pull us down

With your pinstipe weasle stuff but word travels in this town

I wouldn't write home about you we're better off without you without you Mr. Bones

Some people feed on other people's troubles

Some people beat on other people's meat

Some people want to bleed us dry and some people...Gonna down on your feet.

You said "Boy's I'll get you more but you have got to pay me by the hour".

Anyways you are just another bore who believes he's a superpower.

When you talk about loyalty

I just hope you realize since you ate my roalities

Mr. Bones this is goodbye.

This is goodbye and such hereinafter shall be reffered.

Notwithstanding or foregoing statements unpreferred.

Don't claim you understand when you've not heard a single word, a dicky bird.

Some people feed on other people's troubles.

Some people beat on other people's meat.

Some people want to bleed us dry and some people... gonna drown on your feet.


Sin Of The City

Coat check girl up in Happyland has a violent row with a Cuban man

Julio leaves in a drunken rage

Comes back with the gasoline

The club has no fire exit

The club had no door

Only five people came out alive

The sin is that 89 died

89 dead

89 dead

89 dead

89 dead

The sin is that a year and a half before the fire chief's out and he's raising cain brands

Happyland hazzard close down but no.

No-one ever paid him no mind

City living heavy trouble

City living rough

We are given angry heart

But angers not enough

Daily News reviews of the landlords life found six thousand code violations light.

The city has more a hundred thousand wars all for one of Forbes' Four Hundred whores.

Just one fire cracker on a big bonfire of self serving penny pinching wiseguy style.

Never allowing for the human condition.

The sin is that these guys survive.

City living heavy trouble

City living rough.

We are given angry heart

But anger's not enough... rpt.

You're using your people up.

Stop killing your people now.

Stop wasting your people now

Sin of the City.

White Lines (Don’t Do It)

White! Ooh-white! White! Ooh-white! White! Ooh-white! White! Ooh-white!

(White Lines) Vision dreams of passion (Going through my mind)

And all the while I think of you (Pipeline)

A very strange reaction (Yours to unwind)

The more I see, the more I do

Something of a phenomenon, Telling your body to come along

Cause White Lines blow away Blow! Rock! Blow!

Ticket to ride a white-line highway tell all your friends they can go my way

Pay your toll, sell your soul pound for pound it costs more than gold

The longer you stay, the more you pay my white lines go a long way

Either up your nose or through your vein with nothing to gain except killing your brain

Freeze! (say rock, come on y'all) Rock (say freeze, come on!) [Repeat 3 times]

Aaaaah...

Higher baby, get higher baby, get higher baby and don't ever come down... Free base!

Pipeline (pure as the driven snow) connected to my mind (and now I'm having fun, baby!)

Highrise (it's getting kind of low)

'cause it makes you feel so nice (I need some one on one, baby!)

Tell me it'll blow your mind away (baby) going to your little hideaway 'Cause white lines (what do white lines do?) blow away Blow! - Rock! - Blow!

A million magic crystals painted pure and white a multi-million dollars almost overnight

Twice as sweet as sugar, twice as bitter as salt and if you get hooked baby, it's nobody else's fault - so don't do it!

Freeze! (say rock, come on y'all) Rock (say freeze, come on!) [Repeat 3 times]

Aaaaah...

Higher baby, get higher baby, get higher baby and don't ever come down... Free base!

(Don't you get too high) Don't you get too high, baby (It turns you on)

You really turn me on and on (Can't you ever come down)

My temperature is rising ('Til the thrill is gone) No, I don't want you to go

A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time He got out three years from now just to commit more crime

A businessman is caught with twenty four kilos He's out on bail, and out of jail, and that's the way it goes!

Cane! Sugar! Cane! Sugar! Cane!

Athletes reject it - governors correct it

Gangsters, punks, and smugglers are thoroughly respected

The money gets divided - the women get excited

Now I'm broke and it's no joke it's hard as hell to fight it - don't buy it!

Freeze! (say rock, come on y'all) Rock (say freeze, come on!)

Freeze! (say rock, come on y'all) Rock (say freeze, come on!)

Freeze! - Rock (say freeze, come on!) Freeze! (say rock, come on y'all)

Rock (say freeze, come on!) Freeze! (say rock, come on y'all)

Rock (say freeze, come on!) Freeze! (say rock, come on y'all)

Rock (put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up!) Aaaaah...

Just a Perfect Day

Drank Sangria in the Park

And Later, when it gets dark

We go Home

Just A Perfect Day

Feed Animals in the Zoo

And Later, a movie too

And then Home

It's Such a Perfect Day

I'm Glad I spent it with you

Such a Perfect Day

You Just keep me hanging on


Just a Perfect Day

Problems all Left Alone

Weekenders on our own

Such Fun

Just a Perfect Day

You made me forget myself

I thought I was someone else

Someone new

It's Such a Perfect Day

I'm Glad I spent it with you

Such a Perfect Day



You're gonna reap just what you sow.

Cellophane shrink-wrapped so correct

Red dogs under illegal legs

She looks so good that he gets down and begs

She is watching the detectives, oh he's so cute

She is watching the detectives

When they shoot shoot shoot shoot.

They beat him up until the teardrops start.

But he can't be wounded cos he's got no heart

Long shot of that jumping sign

Visible shivers running down my spine

Cut the baby taking off her clothes

Close-up of the sign that says "we never close"

You snatch a tune, you match a cigarrette.

She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet

I don't know how much more of this I can take

She filing her finger nails

while they're dragging the lake

She is watching the detectives oh he's so cute

She is watching the detectives

Oh they shoot shoot shoot shoot

They beat him up until the teardrops start

But he can't be wounded cos he's got no heart

Now you think you're alone until you realize

you're in it

Now fear is here to stay love is here for a visit.

They call it instant justice when it's past

the legal limit.

Someone's scratching at the window. I wonder

who is it?

The detectives come to check if you belong to

the parents

Who are ready to hear the worst about their

daughter's disappearance.

Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay

It only took my little fingers to blow you away

Just like watching the detectives. Don't get cute

It's just like watching the detectives.

I get so angry when the tear-drops start but he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart.

Watching the detectives.

It's just like watching the detectives.

Watching the detectives. Watching the detectives.

Lay Lady Lay

Lay lady lay lay across my big brass bed


Whatever colors you have in your mind

I show them to you and you see them shine


Stay lady stay stay with your man a while

Until the break of day let me see you make him smile

His clothes are dirty but his, his hands are clean

And you are the best thing that he's ever seen

Stay lady stay stay with your man a while

Why wait any longer for the world to begin you can have your cake and eat it, too

Why wait any longer for the one you love when he's standing in front of you


Stay lady stay stay while the night is still ahead

I long to see you in the morning light

I long to reach for you in the night

Stay lady stay stay while the night is still ahead

911 Is A Joke

Now I dialed nine one one a long time ago

Don't you see how late they're reactin'

They only come and they come when they wanna

So get the morgue truck and bag the goner

They don't care 'cause they get paid anyway

They treat you like an ace that can't be betrayed

I know you stumble with no use people

If your life is on the line then you're dead today

Late comings with the late comin' stretcher

That's a body bag in disguise y'all I'll betcha

I call 'em body snatchers quick they come to fetch you with an autopsy ambulance just to dissect ya

They are the kings 'cos they swing amputation

Lose your arms your legs to them it's compilation

I can prove it to you watch the rotation

It all adds up to a funky situation

So get up get get get down

911 is a joke in yo town

Get up get get get down

Late 911 wears the late crown

911 is a joke (Repeat)

Everyday they don't never come correct

You can ask my man right here with the broken neck

He's a witness to the job never bein' done

He would've been in full effect 911

They the token to your life when it's croakin'

They need to be in a pawn shop on a

911 is a joke we don't want 'em

I call a cab 'cause a cab will come quicker

The doctors huddle up and call a flea flicker

The reason that I say that 'cause they

Flick you off like fleas

They be laughin' at ya while you're crawlin' on our knees

And to the strength so go the length

Thinkin' you are first when you really are tenth

You better wake up and smell the real flavor

Cause 911 is a fake life saver

Repeat

Ow, ow 911 is a joke

Crystal Ship

Before you slip into unconsciousness

I'd like to have another kiss

Another flashing chance at bliss

Another kiss, another kiss

The days are bright and filled with pain

Enclose me in your gentle rain

The time you ran was too insane

We'll meet again, we'll meet again

So tell me where your freedom lies

The streets are fields that never die

Deliver me from reasons why

You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly

The crystal ship is being filled

A thousand girls, a thousand thrills

A million ways to spend your time

When we get back, I'll drop a line

Ball Of Confusion

People moving out People moving in Why?

Because of the color of their skin

Run, Run, Run but you sure can't hide

An eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth

Vote for me, I'll set you free

Rap on brother, rap on

Well the only person talking about love thy brother is a preacher

See, No body is interested in learning but the teacher

Segregation

Domination

Demonstration

Integration

Aggrivation

Humiliation

Obligation to the nation

Ball of Confusion, Ball of Confusion

That's what your world today

Ball of Confusion, Ball of Confusion

That's what your world today is like an all time high

City's aflame in the summer time, and oh, the beat goes on

Evolution, Revolution, Evolution....

Gun Control, the sound of soul

Politicians, can you fucking believe them?

And the band played on And the band played on

Round and around and around we go where ever we're standing no body knows

Take a look around Can't you hear me talking to you?

Just a

Ball of Confusion, Ball of Confusion That's what your world today


See it in the air Tension everywhere Unemployment rising fast Killers gangs watch your ass

Gun control, the sound of soul

Segregation

Domination

Demonstration

Integration

Aggrivation

Humiliation

Obligation to the nation


That's what your world today Ball of Confusion, Ball of Confusion.... repeat

Thank You

If the sun refused to shine,

I would still be lovin' you.

When mountains crumble to the sea,

There will still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all,

Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain,

Tears of loves lost in the days gone by.

My love is strong

With you there is no wrong,

Together we shall go until we die.

My, my, my,

Inspiration is what you are to me,

Inspiration, look see.

And so today, my world it smiles,

Your hand in mine, we walk the miles,

Thanks to you it will be done,

For you to me are the only one.

Happiness, no more be sad,

Happiness....I'm glad.


Drive By

It was the hottest day in July

And all along Santa Monica Blvd cars were stood still

And a gleaming metal tube

Would stretch all the way from Highland

Back to La Brea.

And she met under Los Angeles sunshine

Young man was sitting at the wheel

On his way to make a pickup

Turned off the air-con

Rolled down the window

And began to sweat

Out over the Hollywood hills

He saw the clouds building

Like great dark towers of rain

Ready to come tumbling down

Any day now

Not a day too soon

(any day now)

And as the music drifted in

From other cars

His eyes started to slip

This is the story of his dream

Silver...

Medazzaland

(Oh, Medazzaland)

I have a problem, they said they can solve

Soon I won’t speak

I have no words left in me

I dream in pictures

But the sound is muted

I have no way to understand what they say

(Into Medazzaland)

People are starting to talk

But I don’t hear them anymore

Now I can’t see

But I am still able to think

Do I have any feeling left?

What are they saying about me?

Do they really understand what’s wrong?

I feel their hands on my skin

The time has come for them to begin

I’m sinking deeper and deeper

Into Medazzaland

I can feel the scalpel on my skin

It’s cutting in

Deeper and deeper

I’m in Medazzaland

(Oh Medazzaland)

Big Bang Generation

Falling into space

At the end of time

Black as the black in your eye

Staring through a hole in the ozone

The re’s nobody home

To play back your ansaphone

Climax out of blue

Is it just another high?

No there must be something new

Now that I’m so alien

Entering the atmosphere

Don’t know what is waiting here (oh no)

If there’s nothing left to fear

When they come together in the Big Bang Generation

Teardrop in the sky

Bursting my eye

Sound of morning sighs

This life is stranger than fiction

Surreal addiction

It’s all I recognize

Feeding off the habit

Losing control

Where is it leading to?

Now that I’m the alien

Entering the atmosphere

Don’t know what is waiting here

If there’s nothing left to fear

When we come together in the Big Bang Generation

(Feel like I'm losing control)

Big Bang Generation

(Now that I'm here alone)

Big Bang Generation

(Feel like I'm losing control)

Big Bang Generation

(Feel like I'm losing it)

We’re gonna come together here

Where you coming from?

When we gonna burn out? Don’t know

Having so much fun

Greetings from the Big Bang Generation

Meet you in the Big Bang Generation

Together in the Big Bang Generation

Together we're the Big Bang Generation


Electric Barbarella

I knew when I first saw you on the showroom floor

You were made for me

I took you home and dressed you up in polyester

Princess of my dreams

Emotionless and cold as ice

All of the things I like

The way you look

The way you move

The sound you’re makin’

In ultra-chrome, latex and steel

I plug you in

Dim the lights

Electric Barbarella

Your perfect skin

Plastic kiss

Electric Barbarella

Try to resist

Then we touch

Hallucinate and tranquilize

(she’s so fine)

(she’s all mine)

Our private life is subject to investigation

No time to waste

People say they heard about our deviation

But you never looked so good

Wear the fake fur and fake pearls for me

And put on your mystery

The way I feel you know

I'll never keep you waiting

In ultra-chrome, latex and steel

I plug you in

Dim the lights

Electric Barbarella

Your perfect skin

Plastic kiss

Electric Barbarella

Try to resist

Then we touch

Hallucinate and tranquilize

Pro-genetic you Electric Barbarella

Out Of My Mind

Light a candle

Lay flowers at the door

For those who were left behind

And the ones who’ve gone before

But here it comes now

Sure as silence follows rain

The taste of you upon my lips

The fingers in my brain

Ever gentle as it kills me where I lay

Who am I to resist?

Who are you to fail?

Got to get you out of my mind

But I can’t escape from the feeling

As I try to leave the memory behind

Without you what’s left to believe in?

And I could be so sorry

For the way it had to go

But now I feel your presence

In a way I could not know

And I wonder

Do you ever feel the same

In whispering darkness

Do you ever hear my name?

Got to get you out of my mind



Without you, what’s left to believe in?

How could you dare

To become so real

When you’re just a ghost in me

And I’ve got to get you out of my mind



Without you, what’s left to believe in?

Here in the back of my mind

Deep in the back of my mind


Who Do You Think You Are

I’m giving you the news

Your domination’s through

You gave the best you’ve got

Now I’m out on top

If you’re in any doubt

Listen to me

I’ve got a right to say

If you know what it’s all about

Who do you think you are?

Don’t want to be your enemy

If I’m not the one you want me to be

And I’ve got to do things the way that I do

Always trying to control me


Our time on earth is running through

(This is not a question of my pride)

Sometimes I think it’s a game to you

(Ever wonder how I feel inside?)

And sometimes I play along

But man I’ve got a mind!

You’ve got to live with yourself

For the rest of you life

Do you understand?

Everybody asks themselves the question


Why do you feel ashamed

When you can’t explain the things I say

To other people

It's just occurred to me

A possibility

The thought that you might really want to be me?


Silva Halo

You shine

Where others fade

You dare

To be so brave

Don’t compromise

No one can touch you

Just believe

Just believe

Come to heaven, silva halo

Come to heaven, silva halo

Silva halo

Silva halo


Be My Icon

I follow you, I wait for you

You know there’s no escape from me

You’re more than wallpaper in my room

I write you letters and bring you gifts

I’m going through all your trash

I love you so much,

I keep your cigarette butts

Now is the time to come out

Come out of the shadows

No need to be scared

You’re gonna be so happy

I built you a shrine

Now you can Be My Icon

I’m out on the edge

There’s no way back inside

All my friends are gone

They didn ’t understand me

It makes so much sense

It’s no coincidence

Just you and I alone here

And I need you

Oh

How many hours have I stared at my face in the mirror

I get worried sometimes that the image will shatter

No need to be scared

You’re gonna be so happy

I built you a shrine

Now you can be my icon

No need to be

Scared

Now you can

Be My Icon

I know this is real believe it we belong together

What ever happens you’re gonna be with me forever

Be my icon

You will be my icon

Be my icon you will be my icon


Buried In The Sand

Can’t say that I was surprised

When you broke the ties

They were hanging by a thread

But now I have realized

It couldn’t be the same

Cause everything has changed

And still I held out my hand

Tried to pull you back

But you were buried in the sand

I’m glad that you came along

But here our journey ends

I say goodbye to you

My very dear friend

You were buried in the sand.

Head buried in the sand.

You were buried in the sand.

Head buried in the sand.

You are buried in the sand.


Michael (You've Got A Lot To Answer For)

I came over your place today

In a roundabout sort of way

Nothing holding me

Just the company

Gentle killing the afternoon

Don’t ever try to be any more

Michael, you’ve got a lot to answer for

You unlocked some of the doors

To my soul

And I don’t see you for awhile

Thinkin of you will make me smile

You never bother me with responsibility

Misbehaving in candlelight

Don’t ever try to give any more


You got me wakin up wise to the world

Trust you to get caught up in somebody’s war

You’ll come out of it all in time, I’m sure

Just remember what friends were put here for


And I know that you’re gonna call

If you need me

When you need me

If you need me


Midnight Sun

As I watch you flickering slowly

In the shadows, nothing to hold

It’s as if I don’t recall our time before

And would it be so wrong

Not to remember?

There are times I look at you differently

Like I’d never seen you before

Funny after all we’ve done

You could be someone I don't know at all

(Don’t know you at all)

Catch me I don’t want to fall

But you pull the mountain from under me

Look, I’m dangling up in the blue

And it’s a cartoon coyote eternity

Before I drop down to you

What am I supposed to do now?

There is something beautiful shining

In the far off night of your hair

Funny for a while it seemed to come from the sky

But it’s in your head

Yes it fills your head

You and I don’t always fly

Let me go I want to fall

Deep into the dark

But I’ll get back to you

And I’ll always know how to find you

Cause you shine like the midnight sun

Yes I'll always be here beside you

When I follow the midnight sun

Follow follow follow the midnight sun.


So Long Suicide

Do you know how to feel?

Do you know what it means?

Rock-abye baby it’s time to break

The habit that you fed

Sweet sorrow while the cherished dead

Blow in my mouth, every breath I take

Although I need you I don’t want to bleed for you

So long suicide

Going right out of sight, out of mind

Leave me alone and abandoned

Hello, I’m alive

I’m loaded alive, yes I know

In my bones I know what is going to do it for me

I steal the beauty and I taste the hurt

There’s always time for pretty flowers

growing in the dirt

But time is your needle aimed to my heart

And I must be hollow because I can't follow there

So long suicide

Gone right out of sight, out of mind

Leaving me alone and abandoned

Hello, I’m alive

I’m loaded alive and I know

In my bones I know what I’m good for

Hello I’m alive

I’m loaded alive yes I know

In my bones I know what I'm doing

And I’m scared of being ordinary

God I swear to live like anyone

And you know it’s hard to swallow

But life goes on

And after all this crash and swell

We are just human

And after all is said and done

We’re only human

You’re out of sight and out of mind

I’m saying so long suicide

The half dreamed shade of yesterday

In bloom tomorrow


Undergoing Treatment

We are undergoing treatment

Watching others in the news

Studying our worst reviews

They say we’ll get over it

Disappear like dinosaurs

To the sound of small applause

Resign to the mid-price section

If you see me walking in the garden

Don’t ever ask me for an autograph

If you ever catch me in the arcade

Don’t even stop me for a photograph


'Til our ethic fits the scene

Laid out in Q Magazine

They crave our conformity

Mediocre to the bone

Terrified testosterone

But why do we still face the music?


Don’t ever ask me...

Now and then you get the strangest notion

That there’s something missing

But it keeps you guessing

Wild ambition can you really blame us?

Can you entertain us?

Can you give a little more?


Don’t ever ask me for an autograph

If you ever catch me in the arcade

D on’t even stop me for a photograph


But will the doctors ever cure

These delusions of grandeur?

Someone Else Not Me

Now while the beat is slow

Here in your arms I sway

Now that the light is low

Something I want to say

I guess you've known it for a while

But I mean trouble

I only want to see you smile

And I burst this bubble

The hardest thing is to let go

When love is real...

Like a flower loves a bee

But I know you're meant to give yourself to someone else

Not me

And I could carry on with you

Does that sound crazy?

I think you feel the same way too

And you can't face it

The hardest thing is to let go

But it's not defeat

When you set somebody free

And I know you're meant to be yourself with someone else

Not me

Can you let go?

‘Cause that's love that's real

Like a flower loves a bee

And you know you're meant to give yourself to someone else

Not me

Somebody else not me

Meant for somebody else not me

Somebody else not me


Lava Lamp

In the half light of the evening

I can almost see you glow

Can tel l by the way you’re moving

Time may be right to let you know

You got many coloured halo,

The body of Venus, a babe rainbow

And if I come any closer I might fall into your silhouette

But the shape of things to come is constantly changing

So let it, so let it, so let it flow

La la la la lava lamp

La la la la lava lamp

Indigo, violet and blue

Can we meet where the edges blur?

Because I am coming at you

Like a bug eye heading for the burn

Truth is I can't stay away

No, I wanna let you light my volcano

And maybe it's just in my imagination

But you never know

Because the shape of things to come is constantly changing

So let it, so let it, so let it flow

La la la la lava lamp (I'd love to turn you on)




So let it, so let it, so let it...




Playing With Uranium

In for an evening

Of light entertainment

And who would believe you

Could worry the neighbours?

Come on over to my place

Playing with uranium

If it blows up in your face

See you on the other side



Reinvent the human race

You just got the invitation

We go undiscovered

‘Cause people are careless

One way or another

They'll never forget us



And if it blows up in your face

See you on the other side


Never be the same again

Reinvent the human race

You just got the invitation



Never be the same again

Because we're playing with uranium


Hallucinating Elvis

(I was hallucinating, I was hallucinating)

I was hallucinating Elvis

Hawaii to Las Vegas

Special treatment all the way

Hallucinating Elvis

Missing 18 hours

Losing oxygen to the brain

Lying on the floor

There's a limit how much more I can take

Rhinestone inside my shoe

Because I’m turning into you

I was hallucinating, I was hallucinating, I was hallucinating...Elvis

FBI tapping the King's phone

74, he’s trapped in his home

Hidden cameras, 2-way mirror walls

Walkie-talkie, kung-fu

Then the president calls


Hawaii to Las Vegas


Hallucinating Elvis

Missing 18 hours


Whoever has to know

Tune in to my show

What you see ain't what you get

I’m shooting movies and the TV set...

Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis


Hawaii to Las Vegas

Missing 18 hours


I was hallucinating, I was hallucinating, I was hallucinating...Elvis

Starting To Remember

How to begin do I shed a skin?

Now that I am starting to remember

It takes a while

But you find a way to open up the door

Let demons walk


Can't change my world

I was happy ever after

Was it only yesterday?

That I bought the dream?

But I don't sleep no more

Counting the hours

‘Til the dawn


How to love

How to learn draw like a child

Run for miles and miles


Who I am

Another lonely night ahead for me now

Buried in the darkening day

That lingers on

And drags me down

But you've got to believe

Time will heal.


Pop Trash Movie

Saw a close up of your pretty face

Overnight sensation

Smiling for cameras

From all around the world

If I rewind back to yesterday

And stop the tape there

No one knew who you were

But now they're at your door

I'm living in a pop trash movie

We star together in every scene

We’ll all be famous for just a few minutes

Part of a celluloid dream

Watching slow-mo going frame-by-frame

Might have blurred my vision

Your life went flashing by

Where did it all go wrong?



We’ll all be famous for fifteen minutes


I'll wait in the wings for you

I'll read your lines to you

But now the script is final you know, it's time to go

So we'll have to say goodbye



We’ll all be famous for those fifteen minutes


We star in every scene

And it's never quite what it seems

(Never)


I know we’ll make it with that pop trash - yeah

We’ll all be famous for those fifteen minutes

Part of a celluloid dream, yeah

Lady Xanax

Here comes the morning light you can't face

Lie on your bed staring into space

Watch the time slip gently by

Don’t ask why

So many friends but nobody calls

Can’t be alone when the darkness falls

Got to make it to the party

Socialise, break the ice

Oh, Lady Xanax where were you last night?

All the cracks in your make-up are starting to show

Don’t think that you realise how far away you go now

Look into the future and don't be afraid...afraid

Of what is on your mind

There, in the emptiness deep inside

You are the one that's been left behind

So you paint with your mascara

Social eyes, don't look twice

Oh, Lady Xanax where were you last night?

All the cracks in your make-up are starting to show

Don’t think that you realise how far away you go now

Look into the future and don't be afraid...afraid

Lady Xanax, you're out tonight

Lady Xanax, you're, oh, so tired

Lady Xanax, sleep well tonight

Lady Xanax (Xanax)


The Sun Doesn't Shine Forever

At the end of the rainbow

Found each other there

Strange, we never thought the colours would fade

Be easy to walk

But it's much harder to stay

Why, oh why, are we reckless today?

You and I

Got to hold on together

Because in this life

Maybe the sun doesn't shine forever

Could say that I'm sorry

But there's no one to blame

Anger seems to dissolve into tears

Been so many good times

Not only despair

Somehow we'll find the love we can share

You and I




You and I

Make this life for each other

Because I believe

We’ve got enough for when the sun doesn't shine

You and I





Last Day On Earth

Mesmerised

You get sucked in by the hype

Headlights in your eyes

Flame burns fast

Then your soul goes up in smoke

Where’s your faith in life?

Now what would you do

If there was no tomorrow?

And where would you go

If you knew this was your last day on Earth?

Having the time of your life

But you don't realise

Play to win

So you got to roll the dice

It’s a vicious game

One false move

That’s how fortunes change

And you're going down


If there was no tomorrow?

And where would you go


This is the time of your life

But you don't realise



I'd kiss you goodbye

Last chance, living, taking, giving, having, losing, needing, loving, waking, standing, hoping, dreaming, smiling, laughing, feeling, crying, wanting something, touching, living….

Your last day on Earth

Duran Duran – Astronaut (2004 – SMI EPIC / Sony BMG)

(Reach Up For The) Sunrise

Now the time has come, the music's between us

Though the night seems young - is at an end

Only change will bring you out of the darkness

In this moment everything is born again

Reach up for the sunrise

Put your hands into the big sky

You can touch the sunrise

Feel the new day enter your life





Now the fireball burns, we go round together

As the planet turns into the light

Something more than dreams to watch out for each other

Coz we know what is means to be alive







You can touch, touch the sunrise



Feel the new day














Want You More!

You had plans all along

Musta seen me coming down a mile above the ground

Coz I am weak where you are strong

It's a thrill that makes me curious

Whatever I'm thinking of

You always seem to know

Coz nothing is good enough

There's always something to keep me guessing

What if it's real, what if you're just faking?

What if you knew you could?

What if you get off on manipulating?

Why does it feel so good?

Drivin' the car turn up the sound

Gets yer head in a hailstorm, man I'm gonna feel the blast

I pick you up - you throw me down

And it only gets more serious

What could you be thinking of?

You never let it show

Coz you give me just enough

There's always something

You keep it coming





Why do I want you more? Why do I want you?

Why do I feel so torn?


Why do I want you more?

What could you be thinking of?

You never let it show

Coz you give me just enough

There's always something. You keep it coming. Just keep it coming






Why do I feel so torn?




Why do I want you more? Why do I want?




What Happens Tomorrow

Child don't you worry

It's enough your growing up in such a hurry

Brings you down, the news they sell you

To put in your mind that all mankind is a failure

But nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow

We try not to show how frightened we are

If you let me - I'll protect you - however I can

You've got to believe it'll be alright in the end

You've got to believe it'll be alright again

Fighting because we're so close

There are times we punish those who we need the most

No we can't wait for a saviour

Only got ourselves to blame for this behaviour

But nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow

We try not to show how frightened we are

It would seem lonely - if you were the only - star in the night

You've got to believe it'll be alright in the end

You've got to believe it'll be alright again

And nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow

So don't let go, now we've come this far

Hold my hand please, understand - we're never alone

We've got to believe it'll be alright in the end

Nobody knows

We've got to believe it'll be alright my friend

So don't let go

And yes we believe it'll be alright again

So don't let go


Astronaut

Makes my hair stand up on end

Something alien happening

Synchronized but don't comprehend

Coz where I stop that's where you begin

I know the moment I commit

A pleasure rising when I take the hit

And I'm addicted to the state you're in

Coz you're getting me out of it

Wasted

There is nothing gonna ace this

And we're gonna go to space kid

Coz I'm leaving with an astronaut

Groovin-out to x-ray spex

Something tells me you're the alien sex

I can't imagine now; what comes next

When this astronaut connects?

Coming-on when I touch your skin

A kind of strange light you emit

I feel your gravity pull me in

Now you're getting me out of it

Wasted




Wasted




Bare-feet for quantum leap

Because space is hot & deep

And we follow giant footprints as we fall...in

Falling like the twins through Saturn's holy rings

And if they can't hold us

Where it's gonna end up - anybody knows

An a-stronaut, an a-stronaut

Wasted




Wasted




Boop-Boop Boop-Boop Boop-Boop

- An a-stronaut, an a-stronaut, an a-stronaut, an a-stronaut


Bedroom Toys

You want it, you got it, now whatcha gonna do with it?


I been around the world, I seen a lot a things'd make your chicken curl

You squeeze 'm like boys 'n' tease 'm like girls who please 'm like boys and girls

Plan an exit route, parachute, rubber suit

"Are you ready for a little swim?"

There's regular, queen-size, flip it on the b-side

Solid Gold...oh my god what's this?

I saw the bedroom toys now I'm stallin'

I can't believe my eyes

I saw the bedroom toys now I'm crawlin'

I've learned to improvise

Checkin' out the five star atmosphere - you want some expertise

If you got treasure a-paying for the pleasure, it'll bring you to your knees

Silicone romance, "What's yer name fancy pants?"

Got your eye on the employees

Forgot about the reel-in, Talkin' 'bout the feelin'

Solid gold...oh my god what's this?







Now you're washed up beat, smash 'n' grab, no receipt

Takes the platinum off your shine

Lazy bed-star, lahdidah, petit bourgeois "Oh my would ya look at the time."

Until we wise-up you know we're gonna line-up

For pimps and snitches to dip into yer riches

If you can't destroy it, might as well enjoy it

Solid Gold...oh my god what's this?







You want it, you got it, now whatcha gonna do with it? I can't believe my eyes

You want it, you got it, now whatcha gonna do with it? I've learned to improvise



Nice

There is nothing better than being with you

And I'm feeling so nice

Feeling so nice

Take the beautiful sting of a Scorpio

A careless smile and it begins to snow

And it hurts me to think you might never know

That I've got this thing about you

Case you don't understand, there's somethin' else I meant to tell ya



There is nowhere better than here with you

And it's feeling so nice

Stayin' up with the moon, walking home in the rain

Mixed with your perfume and never twice the same

I got a lot to lose but everything to gain

When I really think about it

You haven't got a clue it's all that I can do to hide it





Did I already say?

Coz you make me forget

I might as well be brave and tell ya

Now it hurts me to think you might never know will it hurt as much being true, I might as well be brave and tell ya







Yeah, I'm feeling

Yeah, it's feeling so nice


Taste The Summer

Doodoodoo dobedoo doodoodoo doodoodoo



Can you taste the summer?



Can you, can you taste the summer?

I do, I find it in your mouth

Now, if I have a weakness it's for sweetness and it's floating on your breath the sweetest melody





Sure we can make it 'til the evening's

Cool haze is reflected off your thighs

Long days are coming up they're staying out and playing

Music, of the falling stars - a melody





Wild orchid on the wind you know just where it's blowing

So fresh; from your lips is born the melody














Taste the summer


Finest Hour

How does it feel out on the ice?

You speak to the crowd but nobody hears

It's not a dream and you are no Christ

And your not alone, come in from the fear

Gonna take it back, take back the life that you want to lead been under quiet attack, but now it's time for you and me

Gonna take it back you've got to fight for what you believe

We're gonna make this stand the finest hour that we see

When did out choice become erased?

Where is the violence in this crowd?

Now that our voice has been replaced

With a silence that screams out loud

Gonna take it back take back the life that you want to lead been under quiet attack, but now it's time for you and me



Yeah yeah

Gonna take it back take back the life that you want to lead been under quiet attack, but now it's time for you and me



Take it back take back the life that you want to lead been under quiet attack, but now it's time for you and me



The finest hour that we see


Yeah, yeah


Chains

An hour since the sundown, the ghosts are creeping in

A-gathering around me like starlings in the wind

Dark shapes a-gather round

Voices like my brothers are whispering to me

But I don't know these others who want to set me free

Come home you're out of time

But the life can not let go

It's a chain cuts across my soul anchoring in this world... I

Put my hand into the flame

Burning but I feel no pain

Don't speak, don't speak my name

Hold on to this life of chains

The door is standing open but I'm too tired to be afraid

My whole life's in this moment, I've been fighting all the way

Just need a li'l more time

'Coz the life just can't let go

It's a chain cuts across my soul

Anchoring in this world... I

Put my hand into the flame




Na-na na-na na-na x(6)

I... put my hand into the flame




Chains

Chains

Chains


One Of Those Days

Suddenly it all looks so familiar

Gone and wreaked it, like I always did

Don't you know it life is out to kill ya

But you still go getting on with it

Seen better times than right now

But I'm not running away no nothings gonna bring me down

It's just been one of those days

I'm not the only one

They can drag me to the gates of hell now

There's nothing left but I'm still hangin'in

Not for me, ain't no final showdown

I'm too shattered to do anything

Seen better times than right now

But I'm not running away

Coz nothing's gonna bring me down

It's just been one of those days

I'm not the only... one feeling this way

And I'm not sorry...

I'm not the only... one feeling this way

And I'm not sorry... not running away

I'm not the only... one feeling this way and I'm not sorry... I hear you say

No, I'm not sorry


Point Of No Return

The random aspects of our lives

Come together once in a while

So blinding and decidedly

Naivety falls from our eyes

And we'll not regain

As we watch the tower falling down

Maybe things can change - only if you want


You know, you know there's no avoiding

The lesson to be learned

The point of no return

You say "What if" but can you live it?

It's all that we deserve


Don't blame yourself, don't blame me

But we're the ones - who can feed the ground

So this poison tree don't ever grow again

And from this glass and broken nerve

There is a way - there can be built

A better life for everyone
















Still Breathing

Home, it's not brick or stone

Or comfort in the firelight, not in that sense anyway

Dreams, if only I had known

But these things always seem

So much clearer at a distance

I'm walking out of this town

I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there

I'll burn the place to the ground

I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there again

Words only could break that ring

You know the words still sting so much harder than the blows ever did

Heart, though it's hot and violent

My head is cool and quiet

As the ashes that fall from the sky



I'll burn the place to the ground


Now, I know this shattered feeling

Trampled but still breathing

I'm just waiting for a good day



I've burn the place to the ground

The Valley

these are days of hit and run in the stream with everyone these are moments of our lives on a wandering river going on together many journeys to arrive

I been walking through the valley through the tall grass and the shadows and I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it through the city and the towers turning minutes into hours and I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it when I think I'm being strong and I lose direction then a life starts looking mischievous finding revelation out of desperation always stretching time but it’s never long enough you think you’re happy, think you’re free but maybe we’re just comfortably deceived but I'm running through the valley through the tall grass and the shadows and I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it through the city and the towers turning minutes into hours and I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it but I'm running through the valley through the tall grass and the shadows and I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it through the city and the towers turning minutes into hours and I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it

Falling Down

once was a man who consumed his place and time he thought nothing could touch him but here and now it's a different story-line like the straws he is clutching why has the sky turned grey? hard to my face and cold on my shoulder and why has my life gone astray? scarred by disgrace I know that it’s over because I'm falling down with people standing round but before I hit the ground is there time could I find someone out there to help me? howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head caught in silent slow-motion how I wish it was somebody else instead howling at all this corrosion why did the luck run dry? laugh in my face so pleased to desert me why do the cruel barbs fly? now when disgrace can no longer hurt me because I'm falling down with people standing round but before I hit the ground is there time could I find someone out there to help me?

You see I'm falling down with people standing round but before I hit the ground is there time could I find someone out there to help me? because I'm falling down with people standing round but before I hit the ground is there time could I find someone out there to help me?

You see I'm falling down with people standing round but before I hit the ground is there time could I find someone out there to help me?

I don’t know… where to go

I don’t know… here I go

Box Full O’Honey

at the sharp end of the view the edge of me and you in all good sense dare tread no further and as the ghost will shiver trees how I'm trembling on my knees but I'm still drawn on by the murmur are you laughing at me now? in my circumstance when still I wear your crown my life's penitence for what? what's so funny box full o' honey what I thought a pretty tune was howling at the moon to keep me company this evening it's so lonely in the dirt a-scratching at the hurt that I so generously did leave you are you laughing at me now? in my circumstance when still I wear your crown some cruel penitence for what? what's so funny box full o' honey is she flirting with me now ooh is she dallying with me now? ooh are you flirting with me now? you'll always be my queen of tumbledown miss melancholy are you laughing at me now? in my circumstance when still I wear your crown and my life's a penitence for what? what's so funny? ain't it funny box full o' honey

Skin Divers

walking under skies, waiting for the fall meet me at the cornershop I show you it all free you of your mind, something you won’t find in the West End pages with yer Google-dirty fingers it’s a skin dive (in deep, silence, we are) ... going underwater it’s a lifeline (teardrop, bullets, all night) ... dip into the water

Baby, that's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air

You feel brand new, when you come up for air When you come up for air

That's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air

You feel brand new, when you come up for air When you come up for air wipe us off the face of the human race whichever way you look it’s indisposed or disgraced fighting on the shore, the hoi polloi want more howling bloody murder but it’s nothing, just a murmur in your skin dive (in deep, silence, we are) ... going underwater it’s a lifeline (teardrop, bullets, all night) ... slip into the water




You feel brand new, when you come up for air When you come up for air a blushing rose is torn from these sugar walls

I misplaced my future, could I please borrow yours? paint it opalscene, you know what I mean anything you want to be, the only thing you want from me ... skin dive (in deep, silence, we are) ... going underwater it’s a lifeline (teardrop, bullets, all night) ... going South Dakota

Baby girl, you swimmin' a little too deep

So deep that I think you might hit a reef

I think you're low on oxygen and your tube got a leak

Baby girl, swim to the top

Grab my hand and hold me and breath

She’s Too Much

she's gentle to the touch she's everything head-first so happy to be causing trouble sometimes the pressure gets too much and you think she's going to burst and shatter like a Xmas bauble

I'll be there when the world is coming down upon her when she's scared I'll be there fighting in her corner she cries when she's alone for all li fe’s little knocks everything that's supposed to make us tougher thinking it doesn't really show but I know how she hurts and I can't bear to see her suffer

I'll be there when the world is coming down upon her when she's scared I'll be there fighting in her corner

I'll be there when the walls are closing to surround her in the air as she falls with my arms around her holding on I'm looking out for her thin skin because she's everything - and I don't think she knows

She’s such a gentle touch

She’s too much a gentle touch she likes to catch the sun plays with it like a ball and never mind whatever keeps it burning someday she might just be the one who's going to save us all if this apocalypse is coming

I'll be there when the world is coming down upon her when she's scared I'll be there fighting in her corner

I'll be there when the walls are closing to surround her in the air as she falls with my arms around her holding on I'm looking out for her thin skin because she's everything – but I don't think she knows

I don’t think she knows she is such – a gentle touch - I don’t think she knows she’s too much – the gentle touch - I don’t think she knows she is such – a gentle touch - I dont think she knows she’s too much – the gentle touch

Last Man Standing

Now an unexpected peace comes to the day as the howling din of fighting dies away when the hanging dust is clearing from air you begin to see a lonely figure there he's the last man standing on the track he does not look down he does not look back he's the last man standing on the track you can't hold him down you can't hold him back the last man standing on the track he does not look down he does not look back he's the last man standing on the track you can't hold him down you can't hold him back he is sorry for wrong that he has done and he's cries out for the anger borne so long all the cuts and bruises suffered in who's name but now is not the time to face his shame he's the last man standing on the track he does not look down he does not look back he's the last man standing on the track you can't hold him down you can't hold him back the last man standing on the track he does not look down he does not look back he's the last man standing on the track you can't hold him down you can't hold him back

Blame The Machines

I’m driving up the autobahn losing my way as the night gets long the headlights shining in my face scream out the danger of this place and now there’s no way home this love affair is ended

I should have known when I bought into the dream so like your solid soul to leave me lost and stranded

I blame myself and I blame the machines

I’m flying blind I’m speeding through

I hate to think I’ve been fooled by you an interactive nightmare show which never ends, it just goes on and on and on and on and now there’s no way home this love affair is ended


I blame myself and I blame the machines and now turn left

I have control you are not required to think at all everything we hear (goes on and on) everything we see, everything we love (goes on and on) everything we feel, everything we want, (goes on and on) everything we do, (and on) everywhere we go (and on) everything we know (and on) and now there’s no way home this love affair is ended


I blame myself and I blame the machines oo-oh oo-oh — I blame the machines oo-oh oo-oh — blame the machines repeat…

Being Followed

To the voyeur, seated in a darkened room.

Do you thrill when the green light starts pulsing?

Paranoia, the only valid point of view.

If you know what I’m saying.

I’m not alone, being followed someone always watching what we do never alone, but I’m in the shadows

I dream things I don’t want you to know something shifting between the sirens and the glow of red lights and the blue slowly turning the fog is lifting a silhouette begins the show then the moment is stolen

I’m not alone, being followed someone always watching what we do never alone, I’m in the shadows

I dream things I don’t want you to know

In this chamber lit by scandal you’re the bullet in the barrel you’re the last thing as I’m falling bloody roaring still I’m calling out

I’m calling out

I’m not alone, being followed never alone, I’m being followed

I’m not alone, being followed never alone, I’m being followed



Lyrics: Simon LeBon


Leave A Light On

So come the evening

I’m out on the dunes looking for a token something to prove all I remember is more than a flame in my fantasy fire whatever I’ve done to receive whatever I need to redeem whatever you say even if I wait a lifetime

I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, if you leave a light on for me

I’ll come there

You can leave a light on for me

In comes the morning

I’m stood in my track looking at the reasons for me to head back so unexpected the kindness you’ve shown that I will not forget it whatever I’ve done to receive whatever I need to redeem whatever you say even if I wait a lifetime

I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, if you leave a light on for me

I’ll come there

You can leave a light on for me you breathe the will into the weak and coax the cage bird to fly free you ease the lost cause out of me with your sweet hand to bring me home

I’m not alone

I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, if you leave a light on for me,

I’ll come there


I know, I swear, if you leave a light on, if you leave a light on for me,

I’ll come there

Safe (In The Heat Of A Moment)

(People say you’ve been around

How ‘bout you and me get down?


Babe I know you’ve been around

Unmake your bed

Don’t think about what lies ahead

Don’t you want to be misled?

Don’t you want to be misled?)

Fame, seems a far off day when enough was never enough vain, how I played my hand one more reckless man in the rough strange, how we explain the story that we’ve lived through change, my karma train, the person I can be for you is…

Chorus:

SAFE — safe in the heat of the moment — a stillness that comes to me when I’m close to you

SAFE — safe at the speed of atonement — a feeling that runs so deep that it scares me too dazed by my own escape from the single state I was used to face my catch-22 can I stay this way if I choose to? wrong, to be so contained now I can’t explain what is happening strong, is the human chain, as it pulls me through, what I bring to you is…

Chorus

Chorus

Fame, seems a far off day when enough was never enough vain, how I played my hand one more reckless man in the rough

(Hook a finger wink an eye

Caresses running up your thigh

Scratch my surface dig in deep

There’s always secrets left to keep

Safe not sound who made these rules

Crowd control for enlightened fools

So come on boy let’s change the pace

Come feel the chill of my embrace

People say you’ve been around



Babe I know you’ve been around

Unmake your bed

Don’t think about what lies ahead

Don’t you want to be misled?

Don’t you want to be misled?)

I came by invitation to general Chelsea mayhem then going on to somewhere, yes I was going somewhere a single random meeting with your eyes and I am beaten and now I’m going nowhere, I know I’m going nowhere with all the voices in my head the clever words I never said of all the things to happen in a girl panic, that’s driving naked through my mind it’s a crush panic, she’s got me atomized you beg me to get closer, dress falling off your shoulder then heat is wrapping round us, this city strapped around us coz now I sense your mission is my coming demolition and you just hold me under, I know I’m going under with all the voices in my head the clever words I never said and you just let it happen in a girl panic, that’s driving naked through my mind it’s a crush panic, she’s got me atomized in a girl panic, the midnight traffic in her eyes like a hypnotic, and I am mesmerized you know you know I want you; I know you know I want you with all the voices in my head the clever words I never said and you just let it happen in a girl panic, that’s driving naked through my mind it’s a crush panic, she’s got me atomized in a girl panic, the midnight traffic in her eyes like a hypnotic, and I am mesmerized in a girl panic a crush panic she’s a hypnotic it’s a girl panic !

The Man Who Stole A Leopard

Do you know where we are?

I’m longing for the dark of our nocturnal life it begins and ends with you don’t spill my secret you were once running wild hiding in the morning mist game demands I make you mine

I thought that I could resist but the leopard in you silently preyed on me

I made my way back home

I handled her with care so elegant and sleek

I need her to be near don’t spill my secret

(did you follow her?)

(were you in control?)

(were you not afraid?)

(does she belong to you?) you were once running wild hiding in the morning mist game demands I make you mine thought that I could resist but the leopard in you silently preyed on me deserted by my friends (don’t they understand?) she’s so much more than them (how could they compare?) so now she’s just for me (no one else can see)

I watch her while she sleeps (be sure she dreams of you) don’t spill my secret since we were last outside now that we’ve both been tamed

(It’s been quite a while)

(and do you miss the chase?)

(inside this gilded cage) prisoners of our thoughts don’t spill my secret

(you saved me from myself)

[Today a man was taken from his apartment on the New Jersey shore and arrested under suspicion of entrapment of a wild animal. Police, after forced entry, discovered a caged leopard in the building! The fully-grown feline was said to be surprisingly domesticated by zoological experts who gave her a thorough examination before preparing her for relocation. A large crowd was gathered outside to watch the beautiful creature as a giant cage was lowered slowly onto the street by a crane. From here, the leopard was transferred into the back of a truck for the journey ahead. A thoughtful onlooker said, "It's extraordinary to think that any human being could have lived in such close quarters with such a dangerous animal." Police are saying the captor was simply besotted with the creature and barely left her side. It's alleged that he hunted her in the wild and expertly forged documents to facilitate her illegal export to the United States of America. The incident has already created much controversy and is now likely to lead to a major international investigation into the life of the man who stole a leopard.]

Runway Runaway

At the door blowing a kiss she’s careful not to wake her sister knowing that she will be missed it feels a little bad girl on the corner engine running taxi driver sees her coming chilly in the morning sun she seems a little sad say goodbye, she’s not afraid of leaving no-one by her side, nothing to hang on wave goodbye, to everything familiar there’s a world to find, runway runaway just run away looking back she sees the pattern hidden princess in the attic realise this picture that is more than she will hope for happy when her heart is jumping desperately seeking something trying to be strong enough to choose another road say goodbye, she’s not afraid of leaving no-one by her side, nothing to hang on wave goodbye, to everything familiar there’s a world to find, runway runaway just run away runway runaway just run away runway runaway… run away runway runaway just run away

Before The Rain

a stormy summer is rolling closer lighting up this holy smoker and if this drinking could ease the thinking

I toast to my home truth with this glass all rise you promises broken call my lovers by their names lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind which blows before the rain little pin-pricks and how my ears bleed on the bomb ticks that is my heartbeat in every life-flash in every car crash

I hear the silence waiting to fall all rise you promises broken call my lovers by their names lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind which blows before the rain for all I carry are murdered secrets the price of my blue star-eyed weakness and so we travel and we unravel towards the place where all loose ends go all rise you promises broken call my lovers by their names lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind which blows before the rain

Mediterranea

Across the sky

A jet trail following

The wish that I was on the plane

On my way to some out destination

Undiscovered never mentioned

Sipping on the high of expectation

I awaken to the shade

Maybe it's the rain of town

One you wanted to leave behind

When the winter's on the ground

If you ever wonder

Chorus

We believe in the cold grey lights we dream

There's a place for us

Mediterranea

Yes we believe where the white sands touch the sea

There's space for us

Mediterranea

I'm trading in for touch down ecstasy

Arriving there in a wave of heat

Lying in the beach tequilla mayhem

Summer of all suburbian daydreams

Waiting for a look the invitation

I awaken to the shade

Maybe it's the rain of town

One you wanted to leave behind

When the winter's on the ground

If you ever wonder

Chorus

I imagine

Summer fashion, see yourself in another town

Let the sunshine out of your mind

A bed of light to lay you down

Chorus

And we believe

Yes we believe

There's a place for us

Mediterranea



Lyrics: Simon LeBon


Too Bad, You're So Beautiful

Here I go again

I must have flowers in my brain

The same mistake I made before

But I'm a hostage to that face of yours

Lay me on your bed

I watch you smoke my cigarette

I wish you knew what's in my head

I could be more than just a friend

(Chorus)

Too bad you're so beautiful and so

Complicated

I may be a deluded fool but still

Fascinated

Too bad you're so beautiful when I'm

King of nothing

This can only go one way

Ice queen on top of the mountain

Give me the freeze, minus twenty and counting

My lunar dreams, how do I stop them?

But it's not your problem, when you're above it all

Lay me on your bed

I want to stroke your sleepy head

I wish that I was you instead of being just your weekday friend

(Chorus)

King of nowhere speaks another line

In the low light I'm here to entertain

When it starts to rain

I'm a lucky man...

(Chorus)

Ahhhhhh

Too bad you're so it's too bad you're soooo....

Oh-oh-oh-ohhhh

Beautiful, umm-uh-umm

Beautiful, it's too bad

Just too bad, it's too bad

Beautiful, ohh-ohh

It's too bad

Just too bad, it's too bad



Lyrics: Simon LeBon


Other People's Lives

Selling exes down the river

Every Katie's got her price

And the details make you shiver

But it's hard to escape when your head is stuck in vice

Because nothing matters

In the self obsessive age

Where they dare you not to notice

But it's everywhere in shocking colour on the page

(Chorus A)

In the magazine

Staring out at me

Out of my TV

(Chorus B)

Other people's lives

Pixelated lives

Just like yours and mine

Every weekend I bear witness

To the social suicides

To the thief who stays for breakfast

To the poster child screwing everybody's wife

Yeah it's just a story

But it keeps me hanging on

For the needy soul,

The glory hole confessional

I got to see what's going down

(Chorus A)

(Chorus B)

Read the headlines...

Hear the sirens

I'm re-united... out of rehab... again

It's everywhere

It's shocking colour in on the page

(Chorus A)

(Chorus B)

(Chorus A)

(Chorus B)

(D-U-R-A-N-D-U-R-A-N)

You can call me wrong

You can put me straight

Say the very thing

You know how it's gonna end

Looking for the real world

With my facebook friends

Elegant times

For no conversation

'Cause now we're online

A networker nation

(Chorus B) dada da da dadada dada dada da da dadada dada dada da da dadada dada dada da da dada

It's a piece of cake

We could change the world

If we can stay awake

In a screen lit room

Halfway into the night

Words spark the news

Set the story alight

(Chorus A)

And nobody minds if it's imitation

We're living our lives

A networker nation

[Oh, the paper Gods in the sky of gray. All the fools in town are ruling today, today]

(Chorus)

[Oh] Bow to the paper Gods

[the pa-] in a world that is paper thin

[per Gods] Fools in town

[Today] Who needs it?!

Hey, you're gonna want it all the talking men declares

Go running to be first in line for what? Nobody cares!

The next thing you must have find piece with matching bag

It's nothing to be glad about all sad when you forget about it

And rather races on the restful on the streets

The slaver in a sweatshop, putting trainers on your feet

I'm walking through the rain, oblivious to pain

To shelter from the blame without a reason to complain about it

(Oh oh oh) don't complain about it

(Oh oh oh) don't complain about it

(Oh oh oh) forget about it

(Oh oh oh )

(Chorus)

She's staring out in underwear from your computer screen

It's all of sell for dirty cash we can wash it clean

So hang it out online, confessing you feel fine and if you got the time to spare we want to know

Which name you're wearing

And when the final curtain finally comes down

We'll all be in the party room, no wiser as to how the total human race it came a basket case

It's nothing to lose faith about it,

It's really not a place to doubt it

(Chorus)

Paper Gods falling down, paper house, paper town

Paper Gods falling down, a paper world just falling down

Paper Words falling down, paper house, paper town

Paper Gods falling down, a paper world just falling down

Falling Down, Falling Down, Falling Down, Falling Down, Falling Down, Falling Down

[Oh] Bow to the paper Gods

[the pa-] in a world that is paper thin

[per Gods] Fools in town

[in the sky of gray] are ruling now

[All the fools in town] Bleeding from paper cuts

[are ru-] they go for the money shot

'Cause nobody cares,

If there's no tomorrow.

Hearts' spinning all around on me [together]

The only thing that matters is tonight

You Kill Me With Silence

You're thin ice

I should be on solid ground

I know so quite advice

I can hear that cracking sound

But I remain despite your deadly aim to drive another lad insane when you won't speak my name

(Chorus)

You kill me with silence that's your style girl

You're letting me know

This deafening silence

The only reason that you're in control

(you're in control)

It's emotional violence

I can't breathe now but I can't let go

You kill me with silence silence...silence...

True to life, things are hoting up in here

If I had a knife, you could cut the atmosphere

Something else,

I like this bed of nails

That's what I tell myself, couldn't be much worse in hell

(Chorus)

You kill me with silence

You kill me with silence

What Are The Chances?

Any other day and you might have gone walking by

Without a second look

Any other way but I'm still mystified

I'm just trying to change my luck

Staring out the world and waiting for the one

But the world won't look away

The world does not explain

(Chorus)

So, what are the chances?

We'll never know

If we take it for granted

A diamond explodes

What are the chances?

Playing with your life or is it destiny

Which sets you on a path?

Is it out of choice that you're here next to me

Or just the aftermath

Of moments as they pass

(Chorus)

We are lost in the flow

I'm looking for answers, oho

(chorus)

We are lost in the flow

I'm looking for answers, oho

Sunset Garage

So, half way drunk you'd never fail with your big eyed punk fashioned fingernails

Something cooking when you play guitar

What the stake we're in

How do we get so far?

(Chorus)

Whatever happens we're ok

Hey we're still alive

To watch a sunset garage day

Heading to the light

Oh Oh, where did it all goes wrong?

We gonna make it all our own

Upon this sunset garage day oh-ohoh

See how the town comes out like a bruise

When the wheels go round we can do anything

Nobody looking and they fix my car

Maybe later, later

Could take it up from here

(Chorus)

Oh Oh, where did it all goes wrong?


Oh Oh, if they bring us down we gonna break out of this town come to our sunset garage day ohoh

Yesterday look so taint, so far away

From this point of disarray waiting for a sun burn into frame

It's so fine, about the high water life

Shifting with the paradise drifting as the drain move into flame

Oh Oh, if it all goes wrong


Oh Oh, if it all goes wrong


It's a sunset garage day

Change The Skyline

This is where it starts

Standing on the roof up here

Saying goodbye to darkness

Now I can see the big idea

Cities east and west

You won't miss me when I'm gone

The only thing that left is the feeling that I'm moving on

[Saw you walk the line

'Cause something psychic says 'no way'

I'll use in time, 'Cause I (re-far)??? you now]

(Chorus)

I can change the skyline

Out of range but in-time

Time to change the skyline

I see far horizons

And if I rid the day

Build some hope but burn by the sun

But I'm happy to watch you fade

When I can't raise it up again

[Openin' my eyes

And maybe it's not impossible

Don't you think it's time

'Cause now it's long enough]

Butterfly Girl

By the look on your face

You've been awake all night

It started raining in the early light

You're fooling the mirror

But you don't fool me

A drift in your own sympathy

(Pre-Chorus)

[Can't stand falling apart, don't stay too long in the dark

Alone deep in the dark, of your devotion

Hey go the longer he (stone)??), let go you got to let go

Together back in control, of your emotions]

(Chorus)

You can make it through tomorrow [Set free your butterfly girl]

And when you rise above the sorrow [You be a butterfly girl]

Now you're drunk in the dream

Of your life as dirt

It might last forever

And that really hurts

And I still hope you're gonna realize

There's only one kind of happy in the glass of wine

(Pre-Chorus)

Only in dreams, girl

I'm a part of your world

My heart it screams

Oh so it seems

Only in dreams

[Only in my, in my dreams, only here in my dreams

Only in my, in my dreams, only here in my dreams]

Only in dreams, girl

When my crime goes on, hurt

What does it mean

To fly the scene only in dreams, girl

There's a vampire in the limousine

The sun's going down like a symphony

She keeps her guard up

While her nails are wet

I don't wanna wake up

Only in dreams, I'm

In dopamine, time

It's in my dreams

It gets its dreams

Only in dreams

How did I dream, you

You're the queen of steel, dunes

Look what you've done

My colors run

Whenever you come to

(Chorus)

On the roof top, we can feel the drop(?)

She bathes in the moon while the shadows watch

She be nervous that my eyes forget


I'm not gonna wake up

The Universe Alone

It's beautiful, the dying sun

The end of everything and everyone

So shall we make a plan my friend

As if we have the chance to live it all again

(Chorus)

I'll see you in some other lifetime

On the other side of what we'll never know

Together we have walked a fine line

Now we go to face the universe alone

In plain view, the mistakes we've made

But is there anything you'd really want to change?

To win and lose then win again

To have it all, then throw it all away

(Chorus)

How beautiful the closing down

The fading out, it spins and goes around

With darkness and the heart of man

And here we are back where it all began

I'll see you in some other lifetime

The universe alone

The universe alone

The universe alone

We travelled so far

Together here

Friends we come here calling

Can you hear the planet roaring

Now the stars are falling

We'll be singing to the morning

This burning sky [this burning sky]

This burning band [this burning band]

We fire up the night [we fire up the night]

We light up the land [we light up the land]

At liberty [at liberty]

We carry on [we carry on]

We are the Song

The Song

Things you take to feel together

Ball And Chain

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

& 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're in the ball n chain gang coz you're the ball n chain man

Middle

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

'n I don't care if I live or die

(that's a 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 to love that pain.

Beautiful Colours

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, all you good people gather and believe

Being of flesh and breathing in is enough

Promise to carry on, from each moment to the next one

These beautiful colours infinite patterns are what I see

And thought we're all of the same stuff there's not one of you who is the same as me

What a beautiful colours indifferent patterns for you to see

Sometimes the beauty of it all seems unbearable 'til the colours bleed

Keep moving

Design - everyone's own their universe

Besides - life is a standard issue is customize

Ashes to supernova is the nature of existence


And though we're all of the same stuff there's not one of you who is the same as me



Keep moving

Keep breathing

Keep loving


And though we're all of the same stuff there's not one of you who is the same as me



Keep moving

Keep breathing

Keep loving

Bottleneck

I’m in a bottleneck now I’m up to my neck in it fighting to get a bite of something good, something good and something strong fire fears got me hot fears got me burning, burning, burning burning down to my soul fire tears in my eyes and I can’t decide which way to go and which way’s home anyhow

I’m in a bottleneck standing up to my waist in it fighting to get a hold of something good, something good and something strong

I’m in a bottleneck biting to get a hold of something good something good and something strong

I’m in a bottleneck now I’m up to my neck in it

I’m in a bottleneck

I’m in a bottleneck in a bottleneck in a bottleneck in a bottleneck in a bottleneck in a bottleneck in a bottleneck

Boys Keep Swinging

Heaven loves you

The clouds part for you

Nothing stands in your way

When you're a boy

Clothes always fit you

Life is a pop of the cherry

When you're a boy

When you're a boy

You can wear a uniform

When you're a boy

Other boys check you out

You get a girl

To say your favorite things

When you're a boy

Boys

Boys

Boys keep swinging

Boys always work it out

Uncage the colours

Unfurl the flag

Luck just kissed you hello

When you're a boy

They'll never clone you

You're always first on the line

When you're a boy

When you're a boy

You can buy a home of your own

When you're a boy

Learn to drive and everything

You'll get your share

When you're a boy

Boys keep swinging

Boys always work it out

Cinderella Ride

Cinderella will you ride, will you ride with me?

Out into a smoke-filled night, across the bridge of tears

Where children with their eyes sewn shut, lay begging on the stones

And will we lead them from this dust? Yes we will lead them home!

All away, let it all away

'til there's nothing to carry and nothing to worry

Now fall away, let it fall away

'til you're light as a bird in the air

Cinderella riding down on the ebbing tide

Down to mend the broken cups and their foolish pride

Solace to the angry mob, succour to the weak

Cinderella, cup of love, their pain is what you seek


'til there's nothing to carry and nothing to worry about

Fall away, let it fall away

'til you're light as a bird in the air


'til there's nothing to carry and nothing to worry about

Fall away, let it fall away

'til we're light as the birds in the air

Cinderella, queen of bells, Cinderella ride

Leave them with their fond farewells and their petty crimes

Leave behind the blood-let clouds, rise up on sparrow wings

And you shall be a queen of shrouds, the queen of helpless things

Come Up And See Me (Make Me Smile)

You've done it all, you've broken every code and pulled the Rebel to the floor

You spoilt the game, no matter what you say for only metal-what a bore!

Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies?

Come up and see me, make me smile or do what you want, run on wild

There's nothing left, all gone and run away

Maybe you'll tarry for a while

It's just a test, a game for us to play win or lose, it's hard to smile

Resist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide

(chorus)

There ain't no more, you've taken everthing from my belief in Mother Earth

How can you ignore my faith in everything when I know what Faith is and what it's worth

Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try

(chorus)

Duran Duran – Red Carpet Massacre – Japan Bonus Track (2007)

Cry Baby Cry

One of these nights you wait and see

One of these nights you're gonna realize

The way your pride comes at a cost

Leaving you short on sympathy

Where is the evidence you need to know

You're better off than the rest

Given attention more than touch

Over the time it's nothing much to show

Keeping it all together

Seems like forever

One of these days you'll kiss and tell

It's in the mirror, gonna spill it out

Whatever do you know, what do you, do you know?

A selfish obsession, a fake suicide

You can't see the truth for the dollars in your eyes

They're fading and that makes you

Cry Baby Cry

But it ain't gonna kill you now

Can you depend on your champagne

Socialist friends to drop your name in their

(questionable) Four Viper supernova rides however great they claim to be only betrays their insecurity--yeah

See how they fall from those highs

Afraid of dragons in the smoke

Gonna go rehab but that's a joke

It's getting old don't tell them all we've heard it before

You're welcome to celebrity

Doing the thing so famously

Must wear your reputation wrong, it must be such a bore




Cry Baby Cry


Cry Baby Cry

Cry Baby Cry




Cry Baby Cry


It does make you stronger, yeah

Cry Baby Cry

Duran Duran – Thank You Bonustrack (1995)

Written By: David Bowie – Original Artist: David Bowie

Diamond Dogs

As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent

You asked for the latest party

With your silicone hump and your ten inchy stump

Dressed like a priest you was,

Todd Browning beast you was

Crawling down the alley on your hands and knees,

I'm sure you're not protected

For its plain to see

The Diamond Dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees

Hunt you to the ground they will

Mannequins with kill-appeal

Will they come? I keep a friend serene

Will they come? Oh, baby, come unto me

Will they come? Well, she's come, been, and gone

Come out of the garden, baby

You'll catch a death in the fog

Young girl they call them the Diamond Dogs

Young girl they call them the Diamond Dogs

Now halloween jack is a real cool cat,

And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase

The elevators broke so he slides down a rope

Onto the street below

Oh tarzie go man, go

Meets his little hussy with his ghost-town approach

Her face is sans feature but she wears a Dali brooch

Sweetly reminiscent something mother used to bake

Wrecked up and paralyzed

Diamond Dogs are sable-ized




(chorus)

In the year of the scavenger The season of the bitch

Sashay on the board-walk scurry to the ditch

Just another future song lonely little kitch

There's gonna be sorrow try and wake up tomorrow




(chorus)

Dreamboy

Summer time it's supposed to bring out the best in eveybody

But here I lie, waiting for my phone to ring,

Man, I could be anybody. and I wonder, don't you wonder what is my intention and if I could ever really truly make you happy

If it's not enough to keep me hanging around

I'm such a flake boy

When the morning comes,

I could be running away

Just like your dream boys

Send this dream back to yesterday,

I don't have the face for tomorrow

Lonley yawning, sleepy this way

Lead me through the trees to your hollow and i wonder, cos I wonder if i'm gonna lose all this loving that I feel cos if it could ever really truly make me happy

If it's not enough to keep me hanging around

I'm such a flake boy

When the morning comes,

I could be running away

Just like your dream boys

I don't want to be your dream boy

Don't make your dream boy

I'm not your dream



Lyrics: Simon LeBon


Early Summer Nerves

What were the chances for me

When I spoke to her last night

What were the chances I'd be

Here lying by her side

Why does it look so risky

Hiding in the morning light

Now as the memory hits me

Right between the eyes

Strange nobody else can hear those fingers tapping on the glass

With reviews of early summer nerves

Welcome to miss adventure

Oh she is a slippery slope

Welcome to glamour central

Where I'm hanging on a rope

Who exactly am I trying to fool with all those snazzy words

Just a case of early summer nerves

This won't get me out of it but finally I understand

You've got to love those early summer nerves

Duran Duran – Duran Duran (The Wedding Album) (1993 - B-Side Come Undone)

Fallen Angel (aka Falling Angel)

From this cloud where I hang, dangled in the blue

I spy you all tiny creatures on the ground below

For my being reckless got me strung up in the sky

Love is flawed now, see the lawless cry

Cut my cord now, better then, better off to die

Here am I, your falling angel, dangled in the blue

I'm your angel, and I wish that I could be like you

It's my time, all I have for my crime is such

Knowing that the thing I love is that which I can't touch

So I watch your fragile beauty changing in the sun

Love is flawed now, see the lawless cry

Cut my cord now, better then, better off to die

But here am I, your falling angel, dangled in the blue

I'm your angel, how I wish that I could be with

Falling angel, dangled in the blue

I'm your angel, and I wish that I could be like you

I believe in you, I dont believe it all

But I believe in you, I dont believe it all





But I believe in you

Fame

Fame, makes a man take things over

Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow

Fame, puts you there, where things are hollow - Fame..

Fame, hurts your brain, just a flame

A funny tin to dip you inside - Fame..

Fame, what you like is in the Limo

Fame, what you get is no tomorrow

Fame, what you need you have to borrow - Fame..

Fame, the dirty swine, it's just his line

He's only trying to drive you to crime.. (crime) - Fame..

Is it any wonder - I'll reject you first

Is it any wonder - You're too cool to prove

Fame

A ticket for you, a ticket for me

I've gotta get to Witchitta - Fame..

Fame (Rpt x23)

What's your name? What a game.. What a shame.. What a shame..

Here is an alternate lyric printed in a Bowie Songbook

Fame, makes a man take things over

Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow

Fame, puts you there where things are hollow

Fame

Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame

That burns your change to keep you insane

Fame Fame, what you like is in the limo

Fame, what you get is no tomorrow

Fame, what you need you have to borrow

Fame

Fame, "Nien! It's mine!" is just his line

To bind your time, it drives you to, crime

Fame Could it be the best, could it be?

Really be, really, babe?

Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?

Really, really?

Is it any wonder I reject you first?

Fame, fame, fame, fame

Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool

Fame

Fame, bully for you, chilly for me

Got to get a rain check on pain

Duran Duran – (with Susanna Hoffs)

Follow In My Footsteps

Where the earth receives

The seeds from the sky

Where the ancient fill the newborn

With a breath of life

I will run once more

Before this body dies

I go running and I feel my muscles

Burning in the light

In our innocence the world is young and strong

Feeling that the center of perfection

Is this heart of mine

Feel the mountain move to hear our song

See the children stand where they belong

Follow in my footsteps now

Follow in my footsteps Follow in my footsteps Follow in my footsteps

I am the lightning streak

Across the brooding sky

I am witness to the spirit

Of your sunrise

Call if your fevers rage

Is in need of tenderness

Feel that I am, feel that I am

Feel that I am the medicine


Hear the thunder rolling for our song

Call the wind Call the rain

Call the first ones by their names

Call the moon Call the sun

Call the blood back to my vains




Hear the thunder rolling for our song

Call the wind Call the rain

Call the first ones by their names

Call the moon Call the sun

Call the blood back to my vains



You can follow in my footsteps

Follow in my footsteps

Follow in my footsteps yeah

Duran Duran – Big Thing (1988 – B-Side Do You Believe In Shame?)

God (London)

God created the world, then created the Devil to blame for his mistakes

I closed the door of my hotel room behind me, it was like closing a chapter in the book of life.

Outside thirty floors below I could hear the police using their sirens like wolf whistles to pick up young girls.

On TV Oliver North (his fifteen minutes of fame ticking steadily away) was being fuzzy about crucial events which had happened a year earlier what a flake...but then who isn't?

-that was Regan's defence at least.

The worst thing is how politics begin to lead into your life.

Back in our innocence we used to simply stick two fingers up to politics, say "fuck the Queen", that was about all you had to say anyway and go back to the more important business of making music.

So why was I sitting there feeling angry about covert operations and illegal aid to the contras?

I mean I'm not even American (may be we all are a little bit). Then I realised it was just the idea that in this particular democracy and probably every other one in the world, there is somebody in power who thinks he is more right than all the people who put him there, all the people who for once in their lives took an interest.

Outside the wind was howling the "Who Who's" from Sympathy for the Devil round and round the concrete hotel walls and corners.

That was then, this is...!

Duran Duran –

Grey Lady Of The Sea

You've whispered out loud

But your breeze doesn't bend

We're lying in the palm of your hand

No land we see, no place to be

The salt of your tears, adds stain to our hearts

There's no long years can tear us apart

Our futures entwined with your past

Because when we lie awake

We'll be thinking of you

Blow, Grey Lady blow your ships back home


Bravado is all but gone

And patience is down

You scared us and you've turned us around

But you won't let us drown

Because when we lie asleep

We'll be dreaming of you



So answer us when we call

And say if you think we're old

When life is so short we can stay long

But you'll never be alone

Because one day we'll return

We'll be waiting for you






Duran Duran – Big Thing (1988 - B-Side All She Wants Is – DD Productions Ltd.)

I Believe/All I Need To Know (Medley)

The taxman's in your pocket book, the pressmen are by the bar

And all the world is at your door

It's strange that you should lock it up then preach an open heart

But you know what they're waiting for

You can turn your face away now and don't think twice

I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know

I'm not after your money or even your advice

I believe you'll follow me it's all I need to know

To walk away

I was tempted by the devil in his deep blue swimming pool

Until the devil's makeup ran

And my future is in the stranglehold of ever changing rules

I don't intend to understand

You can stop pretending now that I had you fooled

I'm still the ordinary guy you used to know

I'm not after your money to paralise my soul


Promise me you'll try to understand before I go

To walk away

You can turn your face away now and don't think twice

I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know

I'm not after your money or even your advice


Promise me, you'll try to understand before I go

All I need to

All I need to

All I need to know.

Repeat last three lines to fade.

Things that you used to say now take on different meanings you realise

Can't be to 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 felt like this before.

Fly like an angel - so high this time,

You send your senses streaming free.

Places you used to go when you were young look different in the dark,

Don't you worry it's O.K.

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 felt like this before

Fly like an angel - so high this time

You've got your senses streaming free

[MID]

Oh I hear your heart is 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... da da da-da

Like an angel... da da daa


Lonely Business

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



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



About destiny

Just trying to kill a little time


Cuz everybody wants to know

What’s their destiny?

Are you ready for the use of time?

On Evil Beach

A drop of blood on evil beach

And soon the sharks swim to the pool

She makes a splash red face on him

In front of the entire school

Here lies the misadventure

Feel the same as you yourself

Creatures eyes in full dimensions

Give it all that we got left

We light a spark on evil beach

And soon the sharks swim to the pool

She makes a splash red face on him

In front of the entire school

Here lies the misadventure

Feel the same as you yourself

Creatures eyes in full dimensions

Give it all that we got left

Duran Duran –

P. L. You

Well there's no surprise

One look into those eyes

Having sex every Saturday

In the afternoon, with the TV on

It's all you know

It really makes you wanna throw

It could be time for a holiday

On the S. O. F. or a Spanish isle

Too much comes too soon

Money doesn't buy you anything good

No love can be alone

Just lay back and give it to the bastards!

Nothing ever really matters

Who cares about you anyway?

Nothing ever really matters

Who cares who lives, who dies?

(P,L,YOU, P,L,YOU) Not me

(P,L,YOU, P,L,YOU) Or you

Oh you claim distressed

When you are so casually blessed

With a look in the alleyway

Consume a tuna fish in an old tin can

Too much, you come too soon

Money doesn't buy you anything good

No love can be alone

Just lay back and give it to the bastards!

(P,L,YOU, P,L,YOU) Nothing ever really matters

(P,L,YOU, P,L,YOU) Who cares about you anyway?


(P,L,YOU, P,L,YOU) Who cares who lives, who dies?

Welcome back my ...

Welcome back ,oh end of the life

Understand me here and now ....

Got to get away

(P,L,YOU, P,L,YOU), (P,L,YOU, P,L,YOU)

(P,L,YOU, P,L,YOU), (P,L,YOU, P,L,YOU)


(P,L,YOU, P,L,YOU) Who cares about you anyway?


(P,L,YOU, P,L,YOU) Who cares who loves, who stays

In the end, Of this song

Not me

I'm gone....

Pretty Ones

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

Love the way you are

You pretty ones

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.

Every days 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

Love the way you are

(You pretty ones)

Rebel Rebel

Got your mother in a whirl

Got your mother in a whirl 'cause

She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl

Hey, babe, your hairs alright

Hey, babe, lets go out tonight

You like me, and I like it all

We like dancing, and we look divine

You love bands when they play it hard

You want more, and you want it first

Put you down, say I'm wrong

You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress

Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess

Rebel Rebel, how could they know?

Hot tramp, I love you so!

Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo

(1st verse) (chorus)

Don't ya?

Ow



Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress

Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess

Rebel Rebel, how could they know?

I love you so much!

You've torn your dress, your face is a mess

You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test

You've got transmission and a live wire

Got your cue lines and a handful of ludes

You wanna be there when they count up the dues

And I love your dress

You're a juvenile success

Because your face is a mess

So how could they know?

I said, how could they know?

To what you wanna know

Calamitys child, chi-chile, chi-chile

Where'd you wanna go?

Can I do for you? Looks like you've been there too

'Cause you've torn your dress

And your face is a mess

Ooo, ooo, your face is a mess

Ooo, ooo, so how could they know?

How could they know? Ha

Ha-ha


Salt In The Rainbow

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.

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 (gone?).

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.

Duran Duran – Seven And The Ragged Tiger (1984 – B-Side Union Of The Snake)

Secret October

Wise on a birthday party in a world full of surprising fireworks and sudden silence

Lies on a stranger's bed the new day breaks like a speeding train on an old friend ever 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

Chorus:

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over

Wise or naked in

Secret Oktober

Freefall on a windy morning shore-- nothing but a fading track of footsteps, to 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 plane

Tomorrow won't be content to watch as the lightning plays along the wires, and you'll wonder...

(chorus x2)

Duran Duran – Seven And The Ragged Tiger Bonustrack (1984)


You told me once a second chance was not worth waiting for

A million chances later, you don't know how right you were

Don't mean you don't dream cause the beating on the door

The Russian high who needs to die begins to realise

That all those days in mischief have your soul in Paradise

I don't know that those time that you were foolish and unwise and I've seen all reason hit the floor

I don't need no reservations but I can do things that I've never done before

Playing with a fire ball you can't touch

But you can soar with Seven and the Ragged Tiger (2X)

Like the morning wild warning

Fires are alive, don't have a choice

The Danger Boys are hoping for a fight It seems

I can't bleed i don't dance anymore

All armed with superstition 'til the birds have flocked our way

Somebody ought to tell them we don't care what people say

Not afraid don't believe In those stories anymore

They just hang their victims to the wall

At least tell me something

It seems that their vision has something within their law

Brother can you feel the heart inside

You're running for your life

You're running Seven and the Ragged Tiger (4X)

All happy like a rainy day is everything to gain

Just the smell of independence he defends his life again

Don't mean I don't dream in no music anymore

Cause I've heard those reasons die before

Oh please tell me something

It seems their vision has something within

Brother can you feel the heart inside

You're running for your life

You better Seven and the Ragged Tiger

Duran Duran – Astronaut (2004 – B-Side What Happens Tomorrow)

Silent Icy River

Following the love you receive

Holding on to what you believe







Time is a ribbon

A silent, icy river froze us all

Running deep

Deep and fast enough to get lost down in the flow

Thrashing around

Tiny lives mean everything





Duran Duran – Medazzaland (1997 – B-Side Out Of My Mind)

Sinner Or Saint

Stand bold, for the ride,

Right now, you know that is the place to be

To watch humankind, stumble into another century

Take no prisoners,

Their sure at giving you the run-around

Violance, on your mind,

Cus your attention is the battleground

What are you?

A sinner or saint

You gotta be

A sinner or saint

Ice cool walawyers,

Straight up and guerentee your gonna get

All that you deserve,

Sit down, blockin your way, seen nothin yet

(chorus)

What are you?

That is your fate

You gotta be

A sinner or saint

Some people love too fast

Some people live too long

And so I've got to ask

Do you know right from wrong?

Disa-ssembler, will you ever, really be a saint...

Still on for the ride,

Who cares if you loose or win

They can bleed you dry,

When you're, a pumping the adrenelin

(chorus)

What are you?

It's never too late

You gotta be

A sinner or saint..

Stop Dead

Stop!

Stop!

Stop dead,

Stop stop stop stop stop stop

I pulled up at a west end junction (seeker of attention)

A full body kit and bass bins pumping (size the competition)

Come on red light, get into green,

I hit the brake, I must be dreaming..

I'm stop! (stop), dead! (dead), in my tracks (in my tracks)

Got to fix on you.

Don't wanna lose you, from my sight

Where ya going to?

Gotta know now..

Stop! (stop), dead! (dead), in my tracks (in my tracks)

Got to fix on you.

Don't wanna lose, you from my sight

Where ya going to?

Oh-oh-oh

I've got my eyes on the action (killer reputation)

Beat crazed in full satisfaction (we're going one phase up)

Do what you do and do it to me,

Body in motion, now you see me

(chorus)

Gotta know know.. Stop!

Come on now, Come on now

Come on now, Come on now

Wise up to remain young victim (come on, waves of attraction)

A full scale attack on the system (another one fires up)

Do what you do and do it to me,

I'm into red line territory

And I'm..

(chorus)

Stop!, dead in my tracks again,

I'm stop dead in my tracks

Stop!, in my tracks (yeah)

I'm stop dead in my tracks

(oh-oh) Gotta know know..

The Needle And The Damage Done

2,3,4..

I caught you knocking on my celler door

I love you baby can I have some more

Oh, Oh, the damage done

I hit the city and I lost my pen

I watch the needle take another man

Gone, gone,the damage done

Oh, Oh, Oh

I sing this song because I love the man

I know some of you don't undertand

Miller, to keep from running out

I seen the needle and the damage done

A little part of it in everyone

But every junkie is like the setting sun

Duran Duran – Big Thing (1988 – B-Side Do You Believe In Shame?)

This Is How A Road Gets Made

This is how a road gets made.

Somebody walked on a virgin (land).

Someone else saw their tracks and followed them, leaving a path.

It seemed as though i were looking down the hill when I first saw it, but, as I waled on, I realized

I was going up.

Somebody whistled behind and urning round, they seemed far below.

Then I came to where there had been a fire and was shaded from the sun by the trees.

Figure of eight. It's our year, it always was.

Credentials:

Made of earth, drinks water, breathes air, makes fire.

This Lost Weekend

by the evening I can smile at the memory the taint of scandal on my skin, yeah and it seems that I’ve been manic so gravelly quite the joker on a string so I’m leaving all my trouble to history but you know how I will pretend, oh ah ha high high… show no mercy to this clown please remind me should I forget this lost weekend, oh oh why ah ah… lucky nothing could have done without the sighing

(should I forget this lost weekend) you can’t work the humbling trying to hush it all up now

(should I forget this lost weekend) don’t blow it all or nothing don’t watch me now I’m blushing

(should I forget this lost weekend) don’t bother me or nothing

I, I’m busy working

(should I forget this lost weekend)

I’m working on to something

I ah ah

(should I forget this lost weekend) and your testing my all entire meds?

(should I forget this lost weekend) should I forget this lost weekend

Time For Temptation

Time for temptation, what you see is there for you

Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do

(good, good, good, good temptation)

Why you chasing a lost religion of guilty feelings

-that belong in yesterday?

Spy the preachers a politician, he carries the cross like a gun

- whip you into shape

Heres the rub, now, no secret hours locked in the backroom if you

- come together right

Check your vision and push it out there

- you make the question, define what its all about

(chorus)

(oh) Oh...

With chains or heaven across your shoulder,

A slave for promotion to the afterlife

The boss gets fat while you just get older, here comes a mission

- set to put you right


Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do - oh



(No damnation...)













Time for temptation



Lyrics: Simon LeBon

Guess you know, where I wanna go

Got to see the water flow, try to understand

Got me trapped, playing with me like a cat

Scrape your fingers down my back, pin me to the ground



All along your water babe

(chorus)

I'll get by, can't you see I'm burning up

When you come and turn it up, higher every time

If I stay , Oh the end is near

Come and get me out of here, come and get me now

(chorus)

(chorus)

(Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohhh!)

Tell me is there any left?

I wanna drink it up

We Need You

Time will see we're not searching for

A wild excuse

To put emotion 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

I refuse to take you down

Or shake you down

When we could bring you gently round

If that's what you choose

For a point of view

I think you'll find it's true

Words like sand just get blown away

But all the same we'd like to....say

We need you, we need you, we need you,

We need you, we need you, we need you, we need you.

Election day

Wild kind of look to the day, opening eyes impale neon flickers

She moon she turning away, the city's her slave but he's cheating his mistress

She's moody and grey, she's mean and she's restless (so restless)

All over you as they say rumours or rivals yell at the strike force

Hi guys, by the way, are you aware you're being illegal

It's making your savior behaviour look evil

'scuse my timing but say, how d'you fit in with this flim flam and judy

Maximum big suprise your smile is something new

I pull my shirt off and pray, we're sacred and bound to suffer the heatwave

Pull my shirt off and pray we're coming up on re-election day

Don't even try to induce,

In all my restrain there's no hesitation

All the signs on the loose

'cause sanity's rare this end of the hard day

(yeh) Shadows are crawling out of the subway

Any way that you choose in every direction just to confuse me

Maximum big suprise she knows something new

I pull my shirt off and pray,

I'm saving myself to suffer the heatwave

Pull my shirt off and pray, we're coming up on re-election day

By roads and backways a lover's chance down wind

Cut open murmurs and sounds becalm hands on skin

Carry further oh...entangled strands all sing

Saving some time to slip away we could dance oh..

Shouldn't be asking wild and scheming

Could be my election day

Stretching my luck down the way

To your invitation stretching my body

Use your intuitive play cause maybe we have more play time than money

Maximum big suprise you know something new

I pull my shirt off and pray, we're sacred and bound to suffer this heatwave

Pull my shirt off and pray we're coming up on re-election day

Re-election day


Keep Me In The Dark

hen the evening's sunlight fingers stretch across the floor cover up your eyes with feathers softly close the door

Take me in your heavy lips take me where the shadows slide and with your blindfold secrets tie me fast and loose the lacy intrigue of this weekend should not be abused

You could take me where you want could you take me all the time

CHORUS

Away yeah...wait a little longer don't go too far

I wouldn't like

I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Tender is the truce I'm tasting but watching you dictates heady nights of sleepless wasting a face I can't escape

We could wave the world goodbye to all of the boys cheerio

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

Help me now cause I'm slipping deeper tell me what to say when without words you draw me closer each time you turn away

Something inside you cries but is it something I'll never find

(Chorus)

Away yeah...wait a little longer before we go to far

I wouldn't like

I wouldn't like to think you were keeping me in the dark


Goodbye Is Forever

Sometimes you have no choice sometimes you got no voice to say say if you will the words say if your world is so grey we can decide it without no tears no tragedy

Sure I wouldn't break and cry, if... you walk away believe me

Hey, goodbye goodbye is--forever

Hey, forever goodbye is--forever and ever...

Sometimes it makes no sense, this side of cruel coincidence caught up in our own barbed wire to set us free belive this--

Hey, goodbye goodbye is--forever

Hey, forever goodbye is--forever and ever...


The Flame

I could feel the breeze blowing change

Blowing through my doorway

Warm and restless just as you walked by

Inside of smoky halls a circle drawn

And voices call

To raise some magic wind in my world

Strange coincidence each time you look my way

This sinking feeling scares me

Know my weakness call it deja-vu

Never puy my trust in fate suprises do arrive so late

Why should I be suprised by you

Straight to the heart straight for this precious shining

How do you dare step into my flame

One from the heart, one for this precious shining

How can you steal my flame

Sometimes cards are drawn and the tables turn

The waiting game is over

Take this dealers hand and steal away the dawn

Don't give me any chance to wander back from this

innocence

Don't give me any chances at all


Missing

And as I wander down to where you lay the blood rushed up to meet the roses in your hair

I thought I saw you smile but now I don't see you anywhere

Whispering your love song in my ear how can you touch me when you're not really here?

Stumbling out I made my way towards the open door climbing fast the sun poured streaming laughter down into your empty gaze where can I find out now I want to join in your game

I hear you calling

I hear you ... calling calling calling calling

Whispering your love song in my ear how can you touch me? how do you really dare?


The Promise

Whose tears on a gaping voice

Whose stretching arms match the hunger of mine

These lips will they never join

But always draw me closer and further entwined

With a promise dealer understand all

freedoms fade away

To a point of view where many different

pathways meet

And we're standing on this precipice with

nothing much to gain

But the deep blue screams of falling dreams

with our next move

Heaven hide your eyes

Heaven's eyes will never dry

The shades of a thousand steel

Come flashing by my face in the fury of war

In desolation and abandoned fields

The hungry make their stand when they'll stand for

no more

Hear the passion in their voices

See the heaven in their eyes

Their hopes and schemes are waiting dreams of

less than paradise

And sometimes we make promises we never mean to keep

For blackmail is the only deal a promise dealer sees

Heaven hide your eyes

Heaven's eyes will never dry


El Diablo

Enter newborn players and gather

Weigh their innocence

Only the brightest shine but not forever

Many lights die, many tears rain

When those tears run dry

On a mountain madness day

You were just in time for a foolish deal for love I sold

I can't stand another howling day inside this empty skin

While the beacons burn I'll say await return from so far away

CHORUS

One life with the devil do I play for so long el diablo is to blame

Oh el diablo, el diablo, won't you sell me back my soul?

Oh el diablo, el diablo, won't you sell me back my soul?

The wedding is on the wind, does she blow my way?

She can dance and she can sing she will tear your heart away

While the promise burns I'll stay and will you return from so far away?

CHORUS (x2)

One life but the devil is in my way...


Lady Ice

Lady Ice slips into her soul

Lady Ice leaves a house so cold

Lady Ice did you know that the world was lonely too?

Drifting snows searching plains and high

Turning stones as she looks for the heart

somebody stole

She knows the violation, in lovers' arms without occassion

But who knows where to find a true heart for Lady Ice

Mezmerized in the candle flame

Compromised by the cruel bands of steel

around her breasts

She knows the desolation of lovers' arms their isolation but who knows where to find the true heart for Lady Ice

Lady's eyes slip away to the part she plays in school

She knows of roles and hide-aways, suppose she knows but turns away

She knows where to find a true heart for Lady Ice...

Lady Ice, step outside your soul.

Lady Ice, do you know that the world is frightened too?

Arcadia – So Red The Rose Bonustrack (1985)

Say the Word

Theres a skill, its nothing we could learn at school

With a will to survive beneath this rule

Money thrives as corruptions president

Waste the life of the yong and innocent

But after all and the resistant can be disobeyed

So, when we call, please dont think twice or be afraid

Hey, mister, say something

Say the word - if your eyes are open

Say the word - before this love is broken

(Say the word)

The lights are down, but you dont sleep so tight

The words around that we play for keeps tonight

As we all know even the best made plans go wrong sometimes

But if it blows well be the ones they victimize

Hey, mister, say something

(chorus) (chorus) (chorus) (chorus) (chorus)

To put this right

Dark Circles

You're moving in dark circles

Dark circles show me your eyes

It's black magic with no perfume

You're all tv & white lies

Move move move move

No rainbow all snow storm

A trans lunar jezebel

Your Stockhausen with pictures

Ulysses in ugly shoes

Move move move move

Dark circles

Big Store

I'm going out tonight

Leaving god alone

Every rivers running dry


We drink small sour drinks

& smoke long cigarettes


Leaving god alone

In a big store.

I ain't no fun time Barbie

I ain't no fun time Mandy

I ain't no fun time Charlie

I'm no fun at all

I like going shopping

Shopping in the big store

Shopping in the large store

Or any store that's big

Is a big store


Leaving god alone

Every rivers running dry


We drink small sour drinks

& smoke long cigarettes


Leaving god alone

In a big store.


Come Alive

I'm a liar and I lie to you

I'm a liar to myself too

I'm lying in my bed

I'm lying in my head

It's the last thing that you said

I'm a liar

But you only know what's true

You know I'm guilty till I'm blue

Come along for the ride

There's nowhere left to hide

A.L.I.V.E Come alive for me

A.L.I.A.R. I'll steal you a car.


A.L.I.A.R. I'll steal you.

I'm alive I'm alive to you

I'm alive to myself to too

I'm alive in my bed

I'm alive in my head

It was the first thing that you said

I'm alive

But you only know what's true

You know I'm guilty till I'm blue

Come along for the ride

There's nowhere left to hide










Signals In Smoke

Signals in smoke fade away

The signs on the screen tell me

You won't stay

What we can't see

Will never change

& the bells of your costume

Have rung there last change

We had so much & nothing to loose

Signals in smoke tell me

We all loose


Lost Decade

When I came back from the east

I found you in uniform

Standing to attention tall

With no glimpse of the human heart

I needed you in my arms

But I was all you scorned

& I fell hard for you

As I fell far for you.

Take me now; show me you love me,

Take me now; show me what you take me for

In this lost decade

Could you love me like you did before?

Telephoning city to city

Notified of second thoughts

Of how you came to rust in me

When all around you were betrayed

So now your suitcase stands by the doorway

You turn the lights off in the hallway

Call a taxi say good-bye

& one fine morning

Take me now; show me you love me,

Take me now; show me what you take me for

In this lost decade

Could you love me like you did before?

(We all make mistakes you said

You were lucky to escape I said

Tomorrow we will run much faster

& one fine morning.)


Aztec Moon

I hear in the Aztec night birds flying overhead

Flying far away & leaving me alone

Alone in the Aztec night

Disowned in the Aztec night.

My destination is unclear

Each day I ride around

I read magazines & books

However, never buy I thing

From the big store Aztec moon

I will climb every mountain

Every one before me placed

& I will climb up to the stars

For to the stars I'm not disgraced

Aztec moon

I'm going to catch a train

To take me far away

Far away where I will live alone

But never be alone Aztec moon

I will climb every mountain

Every one before me placed

& I will climb up to the stars

For to the stars I'm not disgraced

Aztec moon.


World Exclusive

I heard a thousand words

Saw a million faces

I travelled everywhere

Stayed in several places

Like a strange and empty land

Where I became forsaken

Completely out of hand

& everything was taken.

Hear my world exclusive

I'm the greatest man alive

Aint got no excuses

It's easy to forget

I gave myself to you

We took what we were given

And that left us wasted

It wasn't far from grace

Where we found how life tasted

We weren't being rude

Just trying to be offensive

Obscurity vacation

Not somewhere we could live

Hear my world exclusive

I'm the greatest man alive

Aint got no excuses

It's easy to forget



I want my money back.


Hawks Don’t Share

Dark eyes you've got new clothes

Please stay with me I love you

You are a dream believe me

We cut our hair

We go to bed

Sleep scented head

Now we know our promises were true

& we know a burden has been shared

But Hawks don't share they gather in

Hawks don't share

Hawks don't share they gather in

Hawks don't share

Hawks don't share

No history to forget

Not fame & fortune to regret

We tried so hard to find the truth

Don't leave me here

Then I see your hands outstretched to me

& I know the role I played was false

But Hawks don't share they gather in

Hawks don't share


Hawks don't share


Hawks don't share

Hawks don't share

Dark eyes you've got new clothes x4

Clothes

Clothes.


Newhaven Dieppe

Everyone else has gone

But we remain a little longer

I know that i'm losing you

& losing will never do do what you did for me our transparent history soon will fall apart were back at the start

& we can't help it

You know why you're running

Newhaven - Dieppe

You know that I'll always be on your step

But do you know why you're lonely tonight

Tonight

Tonight

Everyone else has gone

But we remain a little longer

Between the paperbacks sleep the insomniacs on sheets of black again

With only yourself to blame

For loss of self control

& how youre looking old

& no wonder

You know why you're running

Newhaven - Dieppe

You know that I'll always be on your step

But do you know why you're lonely tonight

Tonight

Tonight


Barbarellas

Barbarellas Barbarellas


Full of hope at Barbarellas

We named our first group after Barbarellas

Got to play on stage at Barbarellas

Car park now instead of Barbarellas

I loved you at Barbarellas

Felt we belonged at Barbarellas

That was ours at Barbarellas

Do you want to go to Barbarellas



I met you at Barbarellas

& the rest of my life at Barbarellas

We all shut down with Barbarellas

I'll see you down at Barbarellas


Barbarellas Barbarellas.

Some Like It Hot

We want to multiply, are you gonna do it?

I know you qualify, are you gonna do it?

Don't be so circumscribe, are you gonna do it?

Just get yourself untied, are you gonna do it?

Feel the heat, pushing you to decide

Feel the heat, burning you up, ready or not

(chorus)

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on

Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on

Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try

Some like it hot, so lets turn up the heat 'til we fry

The girl is at your side, are you gonna do it?

She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it?

She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it?

I know you won't be satisfied, until you do it!



(chorus)



(chorus)

Some like it hot.. some like it hot

Some like it hot.. some like it hot

Some like it hot... some like it hot

Some like it hot... some like it hot!

Murderess

She says your money's safe

You needn't keep your head down

Now who's kidding who?

Her picture's all over town

I always knew that she was on the run

I read the paper are it said so

I know you like them to be troublesome

Take it to the maximun

She's a murderess, murderer

She likes to go for the jugular

Murderess, murderer

That woman of yours is a killer

I heard his breath escape

She left the gun on the floor

He left his key with me

I hadn't been there before





(chorus)

She says she's innocent

She says she's your 'baby face'

Ah who's kidding who?

Your things are in a suitcase

Lonely Tonight

Lonely tonight, lonely tonight, lonely tonight, lonely tonight

Lonely tonight, lonely tonight, lonely tonight, lonely tonight

We're enchanted, struck by lightning

What can we do when the feeling's so exciting?

We just ran into each other

Now we can't refuse, 'cos the night is so inviting

You sure took me by surprise, I ain't fooling

Everything was synchronized in a movement

When I met you, I knew there was a reason

Every moment that we've shared guarantees it

We.. We won't be lonely tonight

Must be miles ago since we first said "hello"

We. We won't let us out of our sights

Passion has to grow, darling because we know

Riding our tide, luck is with us

No risk to take, when we've got so much to give us

Fate's on our sidem it's our moment

We're getting warm, 'cos we give each other shivers

Yeah, let's keep the fire alight

Nothing can go wrong, we're together for now on

Oh, all the love we excite

Loneliness has gone, did it take us so long

Can't remember life without your music

Oh, there never was a doubt, don't we prove it?

You sure took me by surprise, I ain't fooling

Everything is synchronized in a movement

We're enchanted, stuck by lightning

What can we do when the feeling's so exciting?

We just ran into each other

Now we can't refuse, 'cos the night is so inviting

We won't be lonely tonight

Must be miles ago since we first said "hello"

We won't let us out of our sights

Passion has to grow, darling because we know

Yeah, let's keep the fire alight

Nothing can go wrong, we're together for now on

Oh, all the love we excite

Loneliness has gone, did it take us so long..

Go To Zero

Hey, hey on your marks, get set go to zero

Present and correct go to zero

North, South, East and West go to zero

Nothing is best go to zero

I do this and I do that, and when it's cold, I wear a hat,

It's mostly cold

It pays to advertise thay say, I'll keep my hat on anyway

Or so I'm told

When you're on patrol go to zero

By remote control go to zero

Forward, pause, return go to zero

All roads lead astern go to zero

(chorus)

When you miss your cue go to zero

Start the dance, anew go to zero

Black, red, white and blue go to zero

When you lose the one go to zero

Rewind can be fun go to zero

Nudge it left and right go to zero

Don't wait 'til tonight go to zero

Go to Zero!

(chorus)

(Go to Zero)

Everywhere you go go to zero

Nough is apropos go to zero

North, South, East and West go to zero

Nothing is Best go to zero

Harvest For The World

All babies together

Ev'ry one a seed

Half of us are satisfied

The other half of us in need

Love's bountiful in us

Tarnished by our greed

Oh, when will there be a harvest.. for the world?

(Harvest for the world)

A nations planted

So concerned with gain

As the seasons come and go, we won't wait in vain

Far too many, feelin' the strain

(chorus)

(A harvest.. A harvest)




(A harvest for the world)

Dress me up for battle

When all I want is peace

Those of us who pay the price

Come home with the least

And nation after nation, tuning into beasts

(chorus)

When will there be.. a harvest






When will there be.. a harvest..

Still In Your Heart

The night you met, it was a magic start

All the connections were made in your heart

Following you everywhere, you could feel her eyes -

A glimpse of somebody, takes you by surprise

Another place and day, now where's she gone?

You can't forget her face, or things you left undone

Re-run memories from the start -

The time has flown

All the time you've been appart

And she's still in your heart

Try as you might the recollections stay

Like a photographic memory of each day

You can feel her by your side in an empty room -

And words like 'forever', you spoke too soon

Another place and day, now where's she gone?

You can't forget her face, or things you wish you'd done

Re-run memories from the start -

The time has flown

Where's end ending and the start?

Is she still in your heart?

Notoriety

You say I never pay attention

What makes you think I look the other way?

You let me be the judge

I don't believe what they say

Your name came up in conversation yesterday

My best bet was to feign indifference

You've got an awful reputation by the way

The table made a joke at your expense

Didn't believe a word

I don't believe what they say

It smacked of jealousy

I know it's only notoriety

My reputation might precede me baby

Forget the rumours and the hearsay

You think I never pay attention to you

I guess you think I look the other way

I don't care what you've heard

Why d'you believe what they say?

I'll come to your defense

You know it's only notoriety

To hell with our outrageous fortune baby

We've got a sea of troubles in our sights

We don't need recklessness or caution

To catch the gossip-mongers dead to rights

Let them all speculate

They ain't got a clue anyway

Just use your common sense

You know it's only notoriety

Hear no evil and speak no evil

See no evil lest it come your way



Scared

You never said you'd love me like you do

You said you'd never hurt me like you do

You can't seem to decide

If you're in love with me

Scared

You say you're losing your identity

You say you've sacrificed your freedom to me

You won't commit to me

'Til I submit to you

Scared

You're not the only one who feels confused

Sooner or later you will have to choose

I can't make up my mind

Where I will draw the line

Scared

She loves you - she loves you not

She's only scared

Forget me - forget me not

You're only scared



She Can Rock It

She got goose-egg power-chords

And a nasty 2 & 4, she can rock it

She can tap in 32

She can show you her tattoo - she can rock it

What good's a rock without a roll?

It's a sorry lookin' donut if it doesn't have a hole

She gets so hot, she's infra-red

She can show you a position that's prohibited

She's got kisses like cocaine

She's got access to a plane - she can rock it

Check out her anatomy

In her trashy lingerie - she can rock it

She's got an axe, she's got a rig

You know she'll never miss a beat-

And she ain't never missed a gig

She'll pin you down, she'll knock you out

She can wrestle with your ego

'Til your pride goes out

She can rock it

She's a shake that comes with fries

Never listens to your lies - she can rock it

She can set your pants on fire

She can strip you to the wire - she can rock it

She can nail you to a frame

Say that you're the one to blame - she can rock it

She can tell you what to wear

She can strip your conscience bare -

She can rock it

Let’s Get It On

I've been really tryin , baby

Tryin to hold back these feelings for so long

And if you feel, like I feel baby

Come on, oh come on,

Let's get it on

Lets get it on

Let's get it on

Let's get it on

We're all sensitive people

With so much love to give, understand me sugar

Since we got to be

Lets say, I love you

There's nothin wrong with me

Lovin you---

And givin yourself to me can never be wrong

If the love is true

Don't you know how sweet and wonderful, life can be

I'm askin you baby, to get it on with me

I aint gonna worry, I aint gonna push

So come on, come on, come on, come on baby

Stop beatin round the bush....

Let's get it on

Let's get it on

Let's get it on

Let's get it on



Life Forces

You build a dream in the clouds floating over you

The wind just blows it away

So many sins from the past catching up with you

You can't avoid judgement day

Anima/Animus/Pneuma/Prana/Atman/Jivatman/Jiva

Life forces act on you, life forces your hand

So many omens that tell of your future

You don't know what they convey

Life forces you to choose, life forces at play

Life forces - nature's tools, life forces you to obey

You think you'll feel love by trying to find it

But love comes looking for you

That power which erring men call only chance

You feel it working on you - talkin' 'bout

Anima/Animus/Pneuma/Prana/Atman/Jivatman/Jiva

Life forces rule the world, life forces at work

Life forces you instinctively, life forces you on


Life forces you to go on, life forces command

Just when you think you've a grip on your future

Destiny changes your plans - talkin' 'bout


Life forces you to choose, life forces command

Life forces - nature's tools, life forces you to obey

Life forces rule the world, life forces your hand



Fancy That

You see that girl over there -

With big sunglasses on?

She can't take her eyes offa you

She's up and down 'bout seven times to the john

She's about to turn around her baseball hat

Just fancy that


With the predatory stare?

She's about to make her big gambit - watch it

She's got a dangerous air - don't watch her

You know she wants you to

Better turn around before she makes her play

Just fancy that


With the high-heel sneakers on?

She's been looking at you side long for half an hour

If you ask me, you better call a taxi and get uptown

You don't wanna wake up with a fatal disease

Just fancy that

Better cool your jets 'fore you lose your cool

Better hedge your bets or you'll look like a fool

Don't get all wound up, you're too out of it

Better settle up before you lose your wits

You see that teenager with no inhibitions on?

She's about to come and test the strength -

Of your resolve and how

She's got an ugly friend for insurance in the crowd

It's a game, a tease, she'll only sneer

If you try a pass

Just fancy that



Living In Fear

Living in fear, heartquakes

Don't lift a finger for fear you'll offend

You can't tell your conscience from an instinct -

Or a trend

Last year's neuroses are now all the rage

Your aberrations could be earning you a wage

Take 'em to the stage

Constant anxiety - panic is near - living in fear

Rampant paranoia - everyone's a victim

God's become a lawyer - everything's addicting -

Heartquakes


Get yourself sued for an incorrect thought, oh no

Hide your opinions or end up in court

I'll give you a figure - go ahead and sue

Got a hair trigger - got a short fuse -

Gimme and excuse

Constant anxiety - panic is near - living in fear

Legislated passion - prenuptial agreements

Ugliness as fashion - prophylactic demons

Your foundations shaking - prices keep inflating

Values all corrupted - coitus interruptus

Heartquakes


Living in fear, constant anxiety - panic is near

Hide from your conscience, you're living in fear



Shut Up

Get 'em off me, get 'em off me

Get their hands and their legs from above me

When you want it and you need it

But you can't seem to quite understand it

Get 'em off me, get 'em off me

Take their legs and their elbows from around me

Schizophrenia don't mean that you're living -

In the world not a dream

I said shut up, you're not incurably ill

You got the motivation, you got the pill

Don't mess it up, I go down on my knees

Don't blow it big time babe, I'm begging you please

I said shut up

I said shut up

What you complaining about?

You got the tonic money, you got the truth

Don't mess it up

Let's stick together on this

We got everything and more, so baby -

Why should we quit?

I said shut up



Dope

I can take you all right now

Kick the shit tomorrow too

I know what you make me say

I know what you make me do

Tired of being pushed around

By a chemical like you

Doesn't matter who you use

Dope is what dopers do

Pick 'em up and throw 'em down

You're a source of revenue

Pulverise and snort you up

Turn all kinds of shades of blue

I could give you all my dough

I could lose my life to you

Swallow, shoot, inhale or chew

Dope is what dopers do

I could use another hit

Anything you've got'll do

I can take you unrefined

I can take you cut in two

You give me a one track mind

Maybe you could make that two

I seem to be out of cash

Let's make that an i.o.u.

Vanish in a cloud of smoke

Disappear up a tube

Dopin' is a dopers does

Dopin' is what dopers do



Love Conquers All

In the beginning, darlin'

You made your first play

Living in a dream

Finding your way

Now it's for real

Learn from your feelings

Feel your resolve getting stronger with every day

Welcoming change

So wake up your heart and make a difference

Don't let your life and ambition just fade away

Make it real

And know that love conquers all

You can depend on it

Take a firm hold on your present,

Your past and your future

Don't lose your grip, hold on tight

Life ain't about winning, darlin'

It's how you play the game

Living in a dream - ain't that a shame

So wake up your heart and make a difference

Feel your resolve getting stronger with every day

Make it real

And know that love conquers all


Don't make the same mistake

That you made over and over

Wake up, take hold of your life

Oh, oh, oh

Faint hearts don't make the grade

Go for it all

You know that love conquers all

Taxman

Let me tell you how it will be

There's one for you, nineteen for me

'Cos I'm the taxman - yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five percent appear too small

Be thankful I don't take it all


If you drive a car I'll tax the street

If you try to sit I'll tax your seat

If you get too cold I'll tax the heat

If you take a walk I'll tax your feet

(Taxman)


Don't ask me what I want it for

(Taxman Mr. Clinton)

If you don't want to pay some more

(Taxman VAT)


And my advice for those who die

(Taxman)

Declare those pennies on your eyes

(Taxman)


And you're working for no one but me
