To find a particular song, push Ctrl + F and type in the title :)


"Girls On Film"

See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out it's so bright
Then walk right out to the fourline track
There's a camera rolling on her back, on her back
And I sense the 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
In 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 smiling you 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 till 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
Girls on film (what ya doing), girls on film




"Planet Earth"

Only came outside to watch the night fall 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 no 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





"Is There Anyone Out There?"

I never found out what made you leave
Another day's over just an hour to go
Well I tried to phone last night but you never answered
Just left me ringing on the line

Outside is there anyone out there anyone else outside
Woah outside love is there anyone out there anyone else outside

My face in the mirror shows a break in time
A crack in the ocean, it does not align
I tried to sleep last night, but I've caught ya dreaming
About days we used to wonder away

Outside is there anyone out there anyone else outside
Woah outside love is there anyone out there anyone else outside

Look out of the window maybe you can call by my name
Another night over babe another light comes on in vain
Well I tried to phone last night but you never answered
You just left me ringing in the air

Is there anyone out there (anyone out there) oh, oh
Anyone out there (anyone out there) oh, oh
Anyone out there (anyone out there) oh, oh
Anyone out there (anyone out there) oh, oh
Anyone out there (anyone out there)

"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 life scattered...
And the walls break
We go 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...



"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 i
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 there something I should know
Please please tell me now
Can you see what makes me blow
Please please tell me now
Is there something I should know
Is there something i should say
That would make you come my way





"Night Boat"

Standing on the edge of a quay no lights flashing on the water for me
Fog in my mind darkens my eyes silently streaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night listen to the rising water moan

I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat

Shadows all through me shudder away echo me echo me (echo me)
Am I alone or is the river alive cause it echos me, echos me, echos me

I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat

Waiting (waiting) waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting (waiting)
Waiting for the night boat waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat I'm wating for the night boat

"Sound Of Thunder"

I've been in this grass here for the last ten hours
My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry
How does it happen does it fly through the air
Woah I gave up asking days away I gave up asking days away

And now I'm lying here waiting for the sound of thunder
Waiting for the sound of thunder

Here I am I'm a dotted line cut in through corners stick me through your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path
Am I just lying here that's what I was made for

And now my eyes are closing but I still feel the land
Leaning out for the touch of my hand
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast that I might fly off

Waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder [repeat and fade]



"Friends Of Mine"

Friends of mine they said they were friends of mine
Said they were passing time more like a waste of time
Close the door I said close the door I've told you twice before what are you waiting for

Georgie Davis is coming out no more heros we twist and shout
Oh no not me I'm not too late and I know that I'm not taking anymore
Rocky picture has lost his gun leave him out now he's having fun
Oh not not me I'm not too late and I know that I'm not waiting anymore hey hey

Silly lies don't have to advertise when will you realize I'm sick of your alibis
Running cold the water's running cold it's time that you were told
I think you're growing old

Georgie Davis is coming out no more heros we twist and shout
Oh no not me I'm not too late and I know that I'm not waiting anymore
Rocky picture has lost his gun leave him out now he's having fun
Oh not not me I'm not too late and I know that I'm not taking anymore hey hey

I see you smile pictures on the wall there all friends of mine
See you standing round the back friends of mine think youself lucky
Friends of mine they said they were friends of mine
They were just wasting time out on the dotted line
Money's gone I've known it all along why don't you say i'm wrong
Why don't they drop the bomb
Cause Georgie Davis is coming out no more heros we twist and shout
Oh no not me I'm not too late and I know that I'm not waiting anymore
Rocky picture has thrown away his gun leave him out now he's having fun
Oh not not me I'm not too late and I know that I'm not taking anymore
What you doing friends of mine holding back you're no friend of mine
I've always heard you calling




"To The Shore"

Oh when your nine day feed is up and you've drained your loving cup
Come stands reeling to the shore oh when the brave are coming out
The dry fight and the dusty shout see you crawling on the floor
And diamond stars shining glitter bright gorging your sanhedralites
Words are falling to the floor glad stand pouring fruit trees
And now they glisten on the waterline sing home you are at the shore
I'm moving crissie pretty flowers in the shuttermaze
Haul up all your petty desires leave them lying down they fall
Wash away the rusty disease of your brown town days in our silver sea
Leave it dying at the door feather yellow your time to leave
Open out your arms and breathe
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to the shore now
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to the shore now come on

B-sides from DuranDuran.no

LATE BAR (B-SIDE ON PLANET EARTH)


There's a hole in the wall next to you Things with legs are crawling through Their madly searching for the door in your room You're coming out, your coming down There's an all night party in room 7609 (La-la-la late bar la la la la la la la late) You can dance together all night, if you've got the time (La-la-la late bar la la la la la la la late) The bodies move like flies on the wall You want to run but there's no space at all The dancers spinning in the mirror ball You're coming out your going round (chorus) Just come to the late bar Come, so fast Drink.. I know what I'm talking about I know what I'm doing Ahh.. (chorus)


FAME (B-SIDE ON CARELESS MEMORIES)


Fame, makes a man take things over Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow Fame, puts you there, where things are hollow Fame.. Fame, hurts your brain, just a flame A funny tin to dip you inside
Fame.. Fame, what you like is in the Limo Fame, what you get is no tomorrow Fame, what you need you have to borrow Fame.. Fame, the dirty swine, it's just his line He's only trying to drive you to crime.. (crime) Fame.. Is it any wonder I'll reject you first Is it any wonder You're too cool to prove Fame A ticket for you, a ticket for me I've gotta get to Witchitta Fame.. Fame (Rpt x23) What's your name? What a game.. What a shame.. What a shame..





KHANADA (B-SIDE ON CARELESS MEMORIES)


La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la loo La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la loo Didn't no one tell you Money is the game
You're playing so hard to get now I don't even know your name Don't play with me, I've nothing to lose Khanada, I'll get by It ain't no ones day, coming so soon Khanada, I'll get by I don't believe in dragons or blues Khanada, I'll get by I don't believe in nobody's rules Khanada, I'll get by Heavy as the rain falls I might go outside Just because you're with me Doesn't mean you're not the same (chorus)


FASTER THAN LIGHT (B-SIDE ON GIRLS ON FILM)


Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Why I see your face Moving in the aerospace White Light shining, we're all alone Scare of flying, cos here we come White light, homing in The speed of light, moving in Faster than light (the light) Faster than light (the light) Faster than light.. Faster than light (the light) Faster than light (the light) Faster than light.. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh You see ways by the door Pulling over years before White light shining bright, you're all alone Scare of flying, cos here we come (chorus) Light Light Light Light Light Light Light Light Light Light Light Light Light Light Light (chorus)

Here is what he says....
She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomies
Over men's noses as they lie asleep;


It is from Romeo and Juliet. Mercutio is talking about being visited by Queen Mab in sleep.
