Duran Duran Album

Destroyed by MTV, I hate to bite the hand that feeds me so much information
The Pressure's on the screen to sell you things that you don't need
it's too much information for me
Hey TV Child look into my eyes
Here by intervention I want your attention

Promotion Boy in a suit and tie
He wants you to use it
You're too shot to loose it
It's pumpin down the cable
Like never seen before
A COLA [condom] manufacturer is sponsoring the war

Here comes the news with love from me to you
Destroyed by ABC I hate to bite the hand that feeds me so much information
The Pressure's on the screen to sell you things that you don't need
it's too much information for me
Turn on the tube
Hits you with the Groove
advertizin muzik
We want you to choose it

These teeth are white trainers ULTRA BRITE
This band is perfect just don't scratch the surface
We covered all the angles
the survey people said
Just put us on the cover we'll be smilin anyway
This video was made with LOVE to you

Destroyed by BBC I hate to bite the hand that feeds me so much information
The Pressure's on the screen to sell you things that you don't need
it's too much information for me
Destroyed by MTV I hate to bite the hand that feeds me so much information
The Pressure's on the screen to sell you things that you don't need
it's too much information for me

Dilate your MIND
Dilate your MIND
Dilate your MIND

Got to give it to me
Got to listen to me
Got to give in to me
Now I'm on the line

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 is happening to it all?
Crazy some say-
Where is the life that I recognise?
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 me to say-
Pride will tear us both apart.
Well now pride's gone out the window, cross the rooftops, runaway.
Left me in the vacuum of my heart.

What is happening to me?
Crazy some 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,
Feared today; forgot tomorrow.
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need,
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk-
Blown away.

Just blowing 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.

Any world is my world

When I first met you on the roof
You caught me in your web of youth
But now I know the wicked truth
It's much too 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 subtle moves 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 realise
That I have been manipulating you

Night after night I try to prove
That I can resist you
Tied up inside your love voodoo
Designed to manipulate

Yes I'm tied up
Inside up
Inside your living
But it's voodoo to me.

Every night how I try
How I try to resist you
But It's no good to me

Night after night I try to prove
That I can resist you
Tied up inside your love voodoo
Designed to manipulate

Night after night I try to prove
That I can resist you
Tied up inside your love voodoo

He's sinking faster that a drowning man
he'll grab a hold of anyone he can
gun in his pocket and a heart of ham
Uncle San

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
don't wanna drown
you're going down

There's not much flesh
just skull & 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
don't wanna drown
you're going down

He's selling faster than a magazine
infect us all with his TV screen

He's selling faster than a magazine
infect us all with his TV screen

He's selling faster than a magazine
infect us all with his TV screen

He's selling faster than a magazine

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

Shotgun

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

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

Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone

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
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

Who do you need, who do you love

Breath after breath
ama!
breath after breath
dança!

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 abraça, me carrega no teu andor
dormir no colo da dor
amiga, arrasa!

A tua mão desenhou
o sonho na areia
Agora, entrega de vez
meu rumo e vida

From where I stand
the truth isn't black & white
alone we live & die
we love & fight
breath after breath we carry this mortal coil
safe for tomorrow

Do I dare oh do I dare
follow through the footsteps my whole body hears
breathing on my heart like a feather
beathing of a moment til I disappear

Diga uma palavra alegre
manda um recado
que seja Agora
faz o mundo ficar novo
e dançar no colo do tal de amor

From where I stand
the truth isn't black & white
alone we live & die
we love & fight
breath after breath we carry this mortal coil
safe for tomorrow

Circles in sand are washed out to the sea
just as we slip on through to eternity
breath after breath we carry this mortal coil
safe tomorrow

Diga uma palavra, cara
bem alegre
corre, manda logo um recado
me abraça
faz um clima doce
me arrepia!
chega de sufoco!
me põe louco!
me faz diamante
teu amante
dança ao som do vento
me ensina
basta de sufoco
não faz jogo...

A flame of
love is burning
always
the song is of the planet

The dance is to the rhythm of
the rain where everyone
is coming from is coming to

Here we stand
in the shadow of the master plan
makin trouble wherever we can
stir it up, stir it up, stir it up

Can't you see
this boy is goin cheap
knocking to a basement deal
but I really wont stop til I get to the top

Take it from me
I'm waitin here on my knees
just luv the way you tease me oh
such a wonderful person

Don't play rough
easy when you know your stuff
say please and sure enough
I find I'm makin luv to the ultimate mind

Cum n take a look put it to me baby
I can feel luv cum tumblin down
I just wanna wrap myself in ya baby
we can tell the world were foolin around

Ultimately id say shes toyin with me
its a case of wait n see
but right now
I'm gonna keep my pants on

A to Z
shes doin it to my head
we don't need to go to bed
you'll find to make luv to the ultimate mind

Put it to me babe
we could feel luv
wanna wrap myself in ya babee
we'll tell the world

Take me round
lets do it right here n now
I don't want you koolin down
turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

We can fit
realitys lifes two way split
personality lives a bicht
but I'm fine makin luv to the ultimate mind

Heavens bent
were completaly innocent
we all got to pay the rent
and in time we learn to compromize

Talkin tall n
I feel invisible
can you see me after all
that I said theres only thing for one thing for it

Cum n take a look put it to me baby
I can feel luv cum tumblin down
I just wanna wrap myself in ya baby
we can tell the world were foolin around

Cum n take a look put it to me baby
I can feel luv cum tumblin down

we can tell the world were foolin around

Cum n take a look put it to me baby
I can feel luv cum tumblin down
I just wanna wrap myself in ya baby
we can tell the world were foolin around

Here she comes
you better watch your step
she's going to break you heart in two
it's true

It's not hard to realize
just look into your 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,
she's 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 you're already beat
she's going to play you for a fool,
yes it's true

'Coz everybody knows...
she's a femme fatale
things she does to please,
she's just a little tease

See the way she walks.
hear the way she talks

She will try to put you down
the hardest girl around

'Coz everybody knows...
she's a femme fatale
things she does to please,
she's just a little tease

'Coz everybody knows...

I am by myself, alone...and realize
I never need to use no one
When it comes down to my soul
freedom puts my faith in none of the above

There was a time I was so afraid
of everything people around me said
And I wanted to hide my face in the shadows
There was a time on a bed of nails
I was dreaming a plan up that could not fail
and no power under the sun could put it together

Can't take this attitude,
got to show now, got to move on.
And God knows where I'm going to,
it's a lonely, burning question
I am by myself alone,
and realize I never need to use no one
money, power, holy rose...
freedom puts my faith in none of the above

If there's a time that we ever see the nature of life in reality
Oh, I wanna be there to kick out the answer

Can't take this attitude,
got to show now, got to move on.
And God knows where I'm going to,
it's a lonely, burning question
I am by myself alone,
and realize I never need to use no one
money, power, holy rose...
freedom puts my faith in none of the above

I am by myself alone....

I am by myself alone, (on my own)
and realize I never need to use no one, (use no one)
money, power holy rose (holy rose)...
freedom puts my faith in none of the above
I am by myself alone, (myself alone)
and realize I never need to use no one,
when it comes down to my soul...
freedom puts my faith in none of the above

none of the above...my faith in none of the above
none of the above....I stand by none of the above

Just come softly to me
in the shelter of my heart

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 you're 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 heart

Reaching out... calling out
hear me now... do you read me?
In the shelter of my heart

Here there is no pain to feel
here is safe for lips unsealed

In the shelter of my heart

Just come softly to me
In the shelter of my heart

Reaching out... calling out
hear me now... do you read me?

with your pinstripe weasal stuff
but word travels in this town

I wouldn't write home with you,

some people

some people...
gonna drown on your feet

Some people

You said "boys I'll get
you more but you have got got to pay me by the hour"
anyway you are just another bore
who believes he's a superpower

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

When you talk about loyalty
I just hope you release,
since you ate my royalties
Mr. Bones this is goodbye

This is goodbye
and as such hereinafter
shall be referred
notwithstanding or foregoing
statements unpreferred
don't claim you understand when
you're 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...

Coat check girl up in Happyland
has a violent row with a Cuban man
Julio leaves in a druken rage
comes back with the gasoline

The club had no fire exit
the club had no door
only five people came out alive
the sin is that 89 died
89 died, 89 died, 89 died

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

City living heavy trouble

we are given angry heart

Daily News reviews of the landlords life
found six thousands code violations light
the city has more a hundred thousand wars
all for one of Forbe's Four Hundred whores

Just one fire cracker on a big bonfire
of self serving penny pinching wiseguy style
never allowing for the human condition
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 angers not enough

You're using your people up
stop killing your people now
stop wasting people now
sin of the city

City living heavy trouble
city living rough
we are given angry heart
but angers not enough

You're using your people up
stop killing your people now

Time for temptation what you see is there for you
Time for temptation no damnation for what you do

Why you chasin' a lost religion
Of guilty feelings that belong in yesterday
Spy the preacher's a politic plan
He carrys the cross like a gun
Whip you into shape

Here's 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 it's all about

Time for temptation what you see is there for you
Time for temptation no damnation for what you do

Oh, ohh

With chains of 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 what you see is there for you

and I'm stopped dead in my tracks
gotta fix on you

yo latin mama check your hombre

from this cloud where I hang
dangle 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 floored now
see the loner's cry
cut my cord now
better then- better off to die

here am I your falling angel
dangle 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 floored now
see the loner's cry
cut my cord now
better then- better off to die

here am I your falling angel
dangle in the blue
I'm your angel
and I wish that I could be like you

I don't believe in love
cause I believe in you
