Duran Duran-Secret Oktober (b-side of Union of the Snake)
This is the extended version w the extra verse that's not on the b-side.
It's my favorite version of this song. They should record it and release it as a single.
This video was the first time the song had ever been performed live!
(Wembley 1998)
AMAZING VERSION!
Secret Oktober
Wise on a birthday party
in a world
full of surprising fireworks
and sudden silence
shhh
Lying on a stranger's bed
the new day breaks
like a speeding train
or an old friend
ever expected,
but never knocking
Holding your own
in a battered car
All night parties
cocktail bars
and smile
when the butterfly escapes
the killing jar
Sure eyes awake
before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in
Secret Oktober
Freefall
on a windy morning shore
nothing but a fading track
of footsteps, to prove
that you'd ever been there
Spoken
on a cotton cloud
like the sound of gunshot
taken by the wind
and lost in distant thunder
Racing
on a shining plane
Tomorrow won't be content
to watch as the lightning
plays along the wires,
and you'll wonder...
Sure eyes awake
before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in
Secret Oktober
Sure eyes awake
before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in
Secret Oktober
So I walk out to the shore
stepping into the cool cool waves
I feel the sun burning down on my head like honey
feel sun burning down on my head like honey
pour it on me
Duran Duran- 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
Youll see Im right some other time
Look now, look all around, theres no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet earth youre 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 youre coming down to land
Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I cant see you
Look now, look all around, theres no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet earth you're looking at planet earth
Duran Duran-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
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind the front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart
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
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind the front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart
And the sun drips 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 board to stiffen brooding lies
But I'll only watch you leave me further behind
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind the front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart
And the sun drips 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
Sing, sing blue silver
There's more to this kind of camouflage
More than just colour and shape
Who's going now, in to a classiomatic?
