Duran Duran Album

Hey, pick it up!
This'll get you out of your head!

China's hangin' out by the railings of the motor shed
She goes with a real hit biker, he's a metal head
She looks me up and down talkin' dirty eyes
Sweet sayin' boy, baby, I could lick ya any time

(keep it up)
That's right…here we go again!

Bit later I'm gonna run into her round the back
while other guys break heads in the Shuger Shack
Don't give me drink I don't wanna get too stoned
then we're gonna see who's gonna take who home

The violence of summer, a love's taking over
It starts with desire, ends up under cover

Those lips don't make me rise
You may look down but don't think twice
Slow death is on the way
so what man I still want to play....

One, two!
this'll get you out of your mind!
this'll get you up… let's go!

Maybe take a ride goin' south where her mother writes
before bad news catches up we still got a little time
We'll leave it all so far away
One thing is sure we shouldn't stay
I take it all, China gonna get the runaround
a run…a runaround

The violence of summer, a love's taking over
It starts with desire, ends up under cover

China na Chinananana, China na Chinananana
China na Chinananana, China na Chinana

The violence of summer, a love's taking over
It starts with desire, ends up under cover

Mmh… Love's taking over
Yes love's taking over…

(If you wanna stay with me at your liberty
If you wanna be with me at your liberty)

I'll tell you something
To let you understand the way I feel
Just what you mean to me
Thank you for fine times
We nearly made it all the way
We know it wasn't meant to be

You say we feel the same
There ain't no blame to decide
But if a little time could change your mind…
I'll be here!

And you can call me (if you wanna stay with me)
At your liberty
You can hold me (if you wanna be with me)
At your liberty

(Do you, do you)
Do you remember (remember?)
How lover's right for summers even nights,
Would never seem to end?
And as December (December)
Comes stirring with that finger of desire (desire)
To feel it once again?

You worry 'bout you're friends
What if they find what's going on?
But if you want to try to make it come alive
I'll be here!

And you can call me (if you wanna stay with me)
At your liberty
You can hold me (if you wanna be with me)
At your liberty
And you can call me (if you wanna stay with me)
At your liberty
And you can touch me girl (if you wanna run to me)
At your liberty

Help me out, I live in doubt
Sort me out… yeah!

Don't make it every night
Don't wanna be the love of your life
So if you are inclined to spend a little time…
I'll be here!

And you can call me (if you wanna stay with me)
At your liberty
You can hold me (if you wanna be with me)
At your liberty
And you can call me (if you wanna stay with me)
At your liberty
And you can touch me girl (if you wanna run to me)
At your liberty

...touch me girl
(At your liberty)
…help me out
(At your liberty)
...sort me out
(At your liberty)
...or you can set me free

(If you wanna stay with me at your liberty
If you wanna be with me at your liberty
If you wanna stay with me at your liberty
If you wanna write to me at your liberty)

(“We will continue er…to…er…
watch this situation very closely”)

Here in the shadows where we stand
watching lady, watching man
(“And it may take nature three years the experts
say to make up for the damage done”)
Greedy for pictures as they roll
we see the planet lose control
(“The average credit card holder has about
seven hundred-fifty dollars of revolving debt”)

hothead!
Evolution, nonstop evolution!
hothead!
Evolution, nonstop evolution!

(hothead)

time, time will change the picture (“Ah… it's a good sign”)
about time (“good sign”), time will change the picture

Power to change the points of view
but what is fake and what is true
(“There are charges today that a consumer product
is torching homes and killing America”)
blow by blow you're telling me
you'll change the course of history
(“Our television tends to come out of Hollywood
action cars, crashes, chases”)

hothead!
Evolution, nonstop evolution!
hothead!
Evolution, nonstop evolution!

Time… time…-

I turn you on you turn me off
right now I'm suffering from this culture shock
you spread confusion wherever you can
with shaking heads and shaking hands
use propaganda to manipulate
when they make a bust you protect the state
then the body break and the body tumble
so you build it up, then you watch it crumble

time will change the picture
(evolution, nonstop evolution)
about time, time will change the picture
(evolution, nonstop evolution)
about time, time will change the picture

Oh woman you make me feel
like I'm on fire
Oh woman you make it real
it's the only way for me

So if we some times fight
doesn't mean we got problems
Ain't always black and white
'n who cares anyway?

Ooh! doesn't have to be serious
Ooh! doesn't have to be serious

Serious
Ooh! doesn't have to be serious
Ooh! doesn't have to be serious

Oh baby you get so wild
too much understanding
Oh baby you're such a child
full up on love 'n tears 'n cryin'

Don't worry if you're confused
we all tend to be sometimes
The whole world is getting used
that's just the way it is...

Maybe right, oh it maybe wrong
doesn't have to be serious
Being hard isn't being strong
doesn't have to be serious
Fighting for love, fighting for pain
doesn't have to be serious
And if you win, oh what do you gain?
doesn't have to be serious

Ooh! Doesn't have to be serious
Maybe right, oh it maybe wrong
doesn't have to be serious
Fighting for love, fighting for pain
doesn't have to be serious
And if you win, oh what do you gain?
doesn't have to be serious
Maybe right, oh it maybe wrong
doesn't have to be serious
Being hard isn't being strong
doesn't have to be serious
Fighting for love, fighting for pain

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 the water baby
take me to your water babe
all along the water babe

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)

tell me is there any left
i wanna drink it up--I'll drink it up
baby, if there's any left
I'll drink it up, drink it up, drink it up

Once I thought that I was in control
but that was just another trick of fate
playing with my life

There have been some times
I was so tied up and I said to myself
gotta break it all but didn't really try

Two hearts beating
in this place you've made you know
nothing changes my Antarctica

You can make your rhymes
and paint your rules in black and white
for me to memorize but never understand

And there will be time
for a thousand vows
and a thousand promises
we forgot--to be realized

Two hearts beating
in this place you've made you know
nothing changes my Antarctica

One life pumping
we make love to make our heat
and we throb in my Antarctica

We'll keep the rhythm going
and we'll remember
We'll keep the laughter flowing
and we'll remember
We'll let the music jangle
and we'll remember

Two hearts beating
in this place you make you know
nothing changes my Antarctica

One life pumping
we make love to make our heat
and we throb in my Antarctica

Caught and sheltered
this is what you made you know
I will stay here in Antarctica

And you will stay here…

(Rock-n-roll star)

he turns on the animal
it's that time of day
here comes little johnny
from the back streets of the UK
he's got the answer
it doesn't go away
he's gonna treat you right
yeah he's gonna change the world tonight

the lasting first impression
is what you're looking for
I said oh, is that your first impression
and is that good enough for you?

he don't want illusions
a power glory ride
doesn't run with the neighborhood shadows
wanna let your body slide
he won't give up
and he won't give in
and he won't let up until
he gets inside your pretty skin

(chorus)

he turns on the animal
it's that time of day
to make a little honey
in the backstreets of the UK
and he loves the noise
and he loves to play
just living here and now boys
cuz tomorrow's on the way

(chorus)

good enough for you
good enough for you
enough for you
and is that good enough for you?

the possibility--
seize the possibility
to seize the opportunity
to seize the possibility
to turn on the animal

(ROCK IT!)

I got something
you got nothing to lose
I could give you
so much more than you're used to
move a little closer
maybe we can slip away

Right now we could use a little privacy
all too much attention
from your friends in here
Move a little closer
trust me I'm not on the make
(that's a lie)
If I could pull you over
C'mon lady what d'you say?

Get a grip, don't resist, read my lips
It's a trip, ain't a risk, read my lips
Get a grip, don't resist, read my… (lips)

part of you want to get lucky
part of you want to go trade
part of you want to come looking
part of you want to stay…

(ROCK IT)

Get a grip, don't resist, read my lips
It's a trip, ain't a risk, read my lips
Get a grip, don't resist, read my lips
It's a trip, ain't a risk, read my lips

she's all mine...
she's all mine...
she's all mine...
she's all mine...
she's all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine...

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?

Can you deal with it?
Can you deal with it?
Can you deal with it?
Can you deal with it?

Can you deal with it?
(when you ain't sorry...)
Can you deal with it?
(for all that you apologize)
Working up to something
i know you're up to something

Can you deal with it?
(something's got to happen)
Can you deal with it?
(something's got to get me up)
Can you deal with it?
(nothing ever happens)
Can you deal with it?

Venice breeding
shy chimeras of sex and violence
in the purple evening silence
Venice dreaming of a partner

Fill you arms 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 the 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
but only briefly and that life is very brief

(Entra in questo sogno di corruzione
affogamento di Venezia nell'emozione
Vieni e nuota nel mio amore
Vieni e nuota nella mia vita)

Venice drowning
Venice drowning
Venice drowning

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 down
Downtown all of the way downtown
Downtown all of the way down
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

(Happy Birthday Mr. President
Happy Birthday to you…)
