Duran Duran Decade Lyrics
1.Planet Earth

only came outside to watch the nightfall 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 not 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


2.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)
Girls on Film
Girls on Film (Two minutes later)
Girls on Film
Girls on Film (see you together)
Girls on Film
Girls on Film (see you later)
Girls on Film


3.Hungry like the wolf

Ha ha!
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Dark in the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is afire
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Woman you want me give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

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
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
High blood drumming on your skin it's so tight
You feel my heart I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive


4.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.

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 T.V.
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

Hey now (wow), look at that. Did he really 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

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land.
And when she shines she really shows you all she can.
Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
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


5.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, save it 'til the morning
after

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
No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning
after
Save it 'til the morning after, save it till the morning after

Pretty looking road, I 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 it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now, save it 'til the morning
after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after

Save a prayer 'til the morning after


6.Is There Something I Should Know?

please please tell me now, please please tell me now
please please tell me now, please please tell me now

I made a break I run out yesterday
tried to find my mountain hideaway
maybe next year maybe no go
I know you're watching me every minute of the day yeah
I've seen the signs and the looks and the pictures they give
your game
away yeah
there's a dream that strings the road with broken glass for us
to hold
and I cut so far before I had to stay

please please tell me now is there something i should know
is there something I should say that would make you come my way
do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show

people stare and cross the road from me
and jungle drums they all clear the way for me
can you read my mind can you see in the snow
and fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as a nuclear
war
cos the dream that strings the road with broken glass for us to
hold
and I got so far before I had to say

please please tell me now is there something I should know
is there something I should say that would make you come my way
do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show

please please tell me now is tehre something I should know
please please tell me now can you see what makes me blow
please please tell me now is tehre something I should know
is there something i should say that would make you come my way


7.Union of the Snake

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


8.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

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

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

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


9.The 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 wile 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


10.A View To A Kill

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 see.
Could it be the whole earth opening wide
A sacred why? A myst'ry gaping inside
The weekends; why? Until we

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

The choice for you is the view to a kill.
Between the shades, assassination standing still.
The first crystal tears
Fall as snowflakes on your body,
First time in years,
To drench your skin with lover's rosy stain.
A chance to find a phoenix for the flame,
A chance to die, but can we

Dance into the fire,
That fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams.
Dance into the fire;
That fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire.
When all we see is a view to a kill.


11.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 to disguise
Let me to fight it out--
not wild about it
Lay your seedy judgements
who says they're part of our lives?

you own the money
you control the witness
I hear you're lonely
don't monkey with my business
You pay the profits to justify the reasons
I heard your promise
but I don't believe it
that's why I'll do it again

no no notorious

Girls will keep the secrets
so long as boys make the 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

you own the money
you control the witness
I hear you're lonely
don't monkey with my business
You pay the profits to justify the reasons
I heard your promise
but I don't believe it
that's why I'll do it again

no no notorious


12.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
take five--she's got pearls
don't fake it when it comes to
making money, so...
she smiles,
but that's cruel
if you knew what she'd think,
if you knew what she was after...

sometimes she wonders...
and she laughs in her frustration

would someone please explain
the reason for this strange behaviour
in exploitation's name
we must be working for the skin trade

docotrs of the revolution gave us
the medicine we desired
besides being absolutely painless
it's a question of compromise
you've got steel
it's so cool
get angry at the weekend
then 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 you ask yourself the question

would someone please explain
the reason for this strange behaviour
in exploitation's name
we must be working for the skin trade

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

would someone please explain
the reason for this strange behaviour
in exploitation's name
we must be working for the skin trade


13.I don't want your love

I don't mind
if you're keeping
someone else behind
I don't care
cuz you've got
something I can share
Hey,
take your 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

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 realize
my obsessive fascination
is in your imagination

I don't want your love
to bring me down
I don't want your love
so turn it around
Your rythym is the power
to move me
It's something you control
Completely
I don't want your love
I don't want your love

I
like noise
cuz 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
now back it up...

I don't want your love
to bring me down
I don't want your love
so turn it around
Your rythym is the power
to move me
It's something you control
Completely
I don't want your love
I don't want your love


14.All she wants is

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 boy
You've been pulling 'em
by the hand inside
Oh...collecting all your toys
If you need a little 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're thinking about
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
