Duran Duran Original Gold Lyrics
1.Big Thing

get it up get it out get it in time
hang it up hanging out hanging on a big thing
move it in move it out move up the line
bang it up bang it out banging on a big thing

brothers and sisters let me hear it
get it up get it on get it in time
give me the green light and watch me move it
move it up move it out move up the line
this is temptation power rotation
give me the friction and watch me make it
make it up making out making it slide

so glad you came along
this time you won't be wrong
you love to turn it on
and you'renot the only one

Brothers and sisters we can take it
shake it up shake it out shake it all the time
give me the suction we can stick it
lick it up suck it up stick it outside
this is temptation (station) power rotation (to station)
give me the playlist and watch me eat it
eat it up beat it up beat it in time

so glad you came along
this time you won't be wrong
you love to turn it on
and you'renot the only one

get it up get it out get it in time
hang it up hanging out hanging on a big thing
move it in move it out move up the line
bang it up bang it out banging on a big thing

get it up get it out get it in time
hang it up hanging out hanging on a big thing
move it in move it out move up the line
bang it up bang it out banging on a big thing


2.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


3.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


4.Too late Marlene

Walking out of nowhere and I let you in
'Til my imagination went for a spin
I've 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 just a little bit by now
(Just a little bit by now)
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 it's 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

And I think I know just a little bit by now
(Just a little bit by now)
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 it's much too late to change
I will explain (too late)
We're too much the same (too late)
No, I won't leave because it's much too late, Marlene

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 it's much too late to change
I will explain (too late)
We're too much the same (too late)
No, I won't leave because it's much too late, Marlene
Too late, too late, too late, Marlene
It's too late to leave now
It's too late to leave, Marlene
Too late, too late, too late, Marlene


5.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 morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
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 morning
Take me every night
Take me when you're feeling low
Take me when you want to stay
up all night

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


6.Do you believe in shame?

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in shame?
And if love can conquer all, then why'd 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
Did you have to change all your poets fire into frozen dust?

I try to testify it
To learn from your mistake
But where's the stupid lie that had to make its point in such a
pointless
waste?

Come Out

Do you beliee in shame?
Do you believe in love?
And if they taste the same, would you love again, or abandon
both?

I don't think I ever cared
Believe my friend has gone
Keep saying it's alright, I'm gonna bring you back, but I know
I'm wrong

There's nothing I can say
There's nothing left to do
Just that lately I've been so damn lonely when I think of you

And it may seem selfish now
But I hold on to the memory
Until all this fear, is washed away

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in life?
Cause I believe a little part of you inside of me will never die
Cause I believe a little part of you inside of me will never die
Yeah I believe a little part of you inside of me will never die
Yes I believe a little part of you inside of me will never die

ah ha oh oh hey
ah ha oh oh hey
ah ha oh oh hey
ah ha oh oh hey


7.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

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

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)

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

9.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

13.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


14.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


15.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

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

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
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

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


16.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


17.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


18.The seventh stranger

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
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger

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
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
Walking away like a stranger
From 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


19.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

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

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

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

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


20.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


21.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


22.Careless Memories

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 lie scattered...
and the walls break
with a 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...
