Duran Duran Liberty Lyrics
1.Violence of summer(Love's Talking Over)

Hey, pick it up
This'll get you out
You're head

China's heading up
All the ratings are in motion???
She goes with a real head bopper
He's a metalhead
She looks me up and down
Talkin' dirty eyes
Sweet sayin' boy
Baby, I can lick you any time
(keep it up)
(that's right)
Here we go again

Bit later I'm gonna run them two around the back
While all them guys break heads
In the sugar 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
And love's taking over
It starts with desire
Ends up under cover

Those lips don't make me right
You may look down but don't think twice
So death is on the way
So what man? I still want to play

One, two!
This'll get you up
Your money
This'll get you up
Let's go!

We'll take a ride
Goes off where her mother writes
For ??? get your stuff
We still got a little time
We made it all so far away
One thing is sure
We shouldn't stay
I'll take it all
China gonna get the run around, a run, a run around

The violence of summer
And love's taking over
It starts with desire
Ends up under cover

China na chinananana

The violence of summer
And love's taking over
It starts with desire
Ends up under cover

The violence of summer
And love's taking over
It starts with desire
Ends up under cover


2.Liberty

(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
At your liberty
You can hold me
At your liberty

Do you remember
How lover's right for summers
even nights, would never seem to end
And as december
Comes stirring with that finger of 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
At your liverty
You can hold me
At your liberty
And you can call me
At your liberty
And you can touch me girl
At your liberty

Help me out
I live in doubt
Sort me out
Yeahhhhhhhhhh

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
At your liberty
And you can hold me
At your liberty
And you can call me
At your liberty
And you can touch me girl
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
If you wanna be with me
If you wanna stay with me
If you wanna write to me)
At your liberty


3.Hothead

Her in the shadows where we stand
Watching lady, watching man
Reading the pictures as they roll
We see the planet lose control

Hothead! evolution
Nonstop evolution
Hothead! evolution
Nonstop evolution

(hothead)

Time, time will change the picture
About time, time will change the picture

How to change the points of view
'bout what is fake and what is true
Blow by blow you're telling me
You'll change the course of history

(chorus)

Bop bop bopbopbopbopbop
Bopbopbopbopbopbopbop

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 propoganda 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
(evoltion, nonstop evolution)
About time, time will change the picture
(evoltion, nonstop evolution)
About time, time will change the picture
Evoltion, nonstop!


4.Serious

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 sometimes fight
Doesn't mean we got problems
Ain't always black and white
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
So much understanding
Oh baby you're such a child
Put up with all the tears and 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 but 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 but 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 but maybe wrong
Doesn't have to be serious
Being hard, isn't being strong


5.All along the water

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

All along the water baby
Take me to your water babe
All along the water babe

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

All along the water baby
Take me to your water babe
All along the water babe


6.My antarctica

Once ago
I was in control
But that was just
Another trick of fate
Playing withmy 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
Yo uknow 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've loved in
My antarctica

We'll keep the rhythm going
And we'll remember
We'll keep the laughter flowing
And we remember
We let the music jangle
And we 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've loved in
My antarctica
Cause and shelter
This is what we've made
You know I will stay here
In antarctica

And you will stay here
With me


7.First impression

(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 a pretty skin

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 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

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?

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

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?


8.Read my lips

(rock it)

I've got something you've got nothing to lose
I can 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 out on the lake
Yes and I
If I can pull you over tell me what you'd 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 wanna get lucky
Part of you wanna try
Part of you wanna go 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

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
She's all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine


9.Can you deal with it

There must be somebody
Who will make love to me
Blow the rules away
And trash these yesterdays
Live in sin with me
Use psychology
To find the twist in me
Can you deal with it?

Recent inquiry
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
For all that you apologize
Working up to something
I know you're up to something
Yeahhhh!!!

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


10.Venice drowning

Vinice breathing
Sexual heires of sex and violence
In the purple evening silence
Venice dreaming of a partner

Velour arms with breasts of marble
From the cradle t the table
Coax this naked treasure
From your saviour

Come swim into my love
Come swim into my life

Divine blasphemer
Tempting--over beads of jism
With a 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 erosion
Venice drowning in emotion

The body stirs
And is reanimated
But only briefly--
And that life is very brief

Venice drowning
Venice drowning
Venice drowning
Venice drowning


11.Downtown

Deliver us from evil
We go with the flow
Isn't it a secret
You think you ought to know
Dividers and abusers
They know where to go
Sunday refugees from sunday tv shows

Downtown
All of the way down
Downtown
All of the way downtown
Downtown
All of the way down
Downtown
All of the way downtown

Sick imagination
Is your wildest wild
(all of the way downtown)
The way below below below
Is that such a crime?
Way down! can't teach you how to live--
They don't have the time
Cuz where I'm going to take you
Is a state of mind

You better learn to use your heart
She doesn't use your money
You better use your love
Cuz you can't take it with you
When you're going down

Downtown
All of the way down
Downtown
All of the way downtown
Downtown
All of the way down
Downtown
All of the way downtown
