WEDDING ALBUM / 1993

TOO MUCH INFORMATION

Destroyed by MTV I hate to bite the hand that feeds me
so much information
The pressure's on the screen to sell you things that you don't need
It's too much information for me

Hey TV child look into my eyes
here by intervention I want your attention
Promotion boy in a suit 'n' tie
he wants you to use it
you're too shot to lose it
It's pumpin' down the cable
like never so before
a COLA manufacturer
is sponsoring the war
Here comes the news
with LOVE from me to you

Destroyed by ABC I hate to bite the hand that feeds me
so much information
The pressure's on the screen to sell you things that you don't need
It's too much information for me

Turn on the tube
hits you with groove
advertisin' music
we want you to choose it
These teeth are white
trainers ULTRA-BRITE
This band is perfect
just don't scratch the surface
We covered all the angles
the survey people said
Just put us on the cover
we'd be smilin' anyway
This video was made
with LOVE for you

Destroyed by BBC I hate to bite the hand that feeds me
so much information
The pressure's on the screen to sell you things that you don't need
It's too much information for me

Destroyed by MTV I hate to bite the hand that feeds me
so much information
The pressure's on the screen to sell you things that you don't need
It's too much information for me

Dilate your MIND
dilate your MIND
dilate your MIND
dilate your MIND...

Got to give it to me
Got to listen to me
Got to give in to me
Now I'm on the line

I try
Yes, I try
PRÍLIŠ VEĽA INFORMÁCIÍ

Zničený MTV, nenávidím hrýzť ruku ktorá ma kŕmi
toľkými informáciami
Nátlak na obrazovke, predáva ti veci, ktoré nepotrebuješ,
to je príliš veľa informácií pre mňa

Hej TV dieťa, pozri sa do mojich očí
Tu pri príhovore, chcem tvoju pozornosť
Agitátor v obleku a kravate
Žiadaťa to užívať,
si príliš zasiahnutá aby si toho zbavila
Je to pumpované dolu káblom
tak ako nikdy predtým
Výrobca Coly
sponzoruje vojnu
Tu prichádzajú správy
s láskou odomňa k vám

Zničený ABC, nenávidím hrýzť ruku, ktorá ma kŕmi
toľkými informáciami
Nátlak na obrazovke, predáva ti veci, ktoré nepotrebuješ
to je príliš veľa informácií pre mňa

Rozsvieťte elektrónku,
zasiahne vás cez drážku
Reklamná hudba,
chceme aby ste si to vybrali
Tieto zuby sú biele
vyskúšajte ultra-brite
Táto skupina je perfektná
len jej nepoškriabte povrch
Pokryli sme všetky uhly
povedali respondenti
Len nás umiestnite na obaly
my sa budeme akokoľvek smiať
Toto video bolo urobené
s láskou pre vás

Zničený BBC, nenávidím hrýzť ruku, ktorá ma kŕmi

Rozšír tvoju myseľ
Rozšír tvoju myseľ
Rozšír tvoju myseľ
Rozšír tvoju myseľ

Musíš mi to dať (rozšír tvoju myseľ)
Musíš ma počúvať
Musíš mi ustúpiť (rozšír tvoju myseľ)
Teraz som na rade

Pokúšam sa
Áno, ja sa pokúšam
ORDINARY WORLD

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy some says

Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops, runaway
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some says
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Here besides the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrow
Blown away

Just blowing away

And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Any world is my world
Every world is my world

OBYČAJNÝ SVET

Prichádzajúc zďaždívéhoštvrtka na avenue
Myslel som si,žeťa počujem tíško hovoriť
Rozsvietil som, zapol televíziu a rádio,
Stále však nemôžem iniknúť tvojmu duchu

Čo sa to všade deje?
Bláznovstvo, niekto vraví
Kde ježivot, v ktorom sa vyznám?
Preč

Ale ja nebudem plakať pre včerajšok
Je tu obyčajný svet, nejako ho chcem nájsť
a ak sa pokúšam nájsť si vlastnú cestu do obyčajného sveta
Budem sa učiť prežiť.

Vášeň alebo snáď náhoda ma primäli povedať
"Pýcha nás oboch rozdelí"
A teraz pýcha odišla von oknom
Skrz vrcholky striech, utiekla preč
Nechala ma s prázdnotou v srdci.

Čo sa mi to stalo?
Bláznovstvo, niekto by povedal.
Kde si môj priateľ, keďŤa najviac potrebujem?
Preč

Ale ja nebudem plakať pre včerajšok
Je to obyčajný svet,

nejako ho chcem nájsť
a ak sa pokúšam nájsť si vlastnú cestu
do obyčajného sveta
Budem sa učiť prežiť.

Noviny na ulici hovoria o utrpení ažiali,
Báli sa o dnešok, zabudli na zajtrajšok
Tu vedľa zpráv o svätej vojne a svätej chamtivosti
sú tie našežiale zanedbateľné
Odviate preč

Iba odviate preč

A ja nebudem plakať pre včerajšok
Je to obyčajný svet, nejako ho chcem nájsť
a ak sa pokúšam nájsť si vlastnú cestu do obyčajného sveta
Budem sa učiť prežiť.

Akýkoľvek svet je môj svet
Každý svet je môj svet

Love Voodoo

when I first met you on the roof
you caught me in your web of youth
but now I know the wicked truth
it's much too late so whats the use in fighting

you peel me like an onion skin
and wonder at the state I'm in
one day you'll turn up to begin
and find there's nothing left but innuendo

beside you others fade away
like amateurs in love's charade
much more than just a game you play
these subtle moves become a way of living

night after night I try to prove
that I can resist you
tied up inside your love voodoo designed to manipulate

the queen of sensuality
you shelter me from liberty
it's nothing short of piracy
thats not to say it doesn't please me sometimes

now this may come as no suprise
but I'm content to compromise
until the day you realize
that I have been manipulating you

night after night I try to prove
that I can resist you
tied up inside your love voodoo
designed to manipulate

yes I'm tied up

inside, up inside your living but it's voodoo to me
everynight how I try, how I try to resist you
but it's no good to me

night after night I try to prove
that I can resist you
tied up inside your love voodoo
designed to manipulate
Drowning Man

he's sinking faster than a drowning man
he'll grab a hold of anyone he can
gun in his pocket and a heart of ham
uncle sam he's dying faster than a rabit dog
infect us all now he's losing blood
nose for trouble and a soul of rock
smokey's man

don't drag me down
don't want to drown
you're going down

na nana na nana nana na na

there's not much flesh
just skull and bone
cheeks sunk deep eyes popping wide
don't put out a hand to help him
this drowning man will bite it right off, right off
RIGHT OFF, RIGHT OFF

don't drag me down
don't want to drown
you're going down

na nana na nana nana na na

he's selling faster than a magazine
infect us all with his tv screen

don't drag me down
don't wanna drown
you're going down

na nana na nana nana na na
Shotgun

Get it together
Thing is jumpin'
I wanna see your
Bullets pumpin'

Shotgun

Itchy finger
On the trigger
Got to make the
Shooter bigger

Shotgun
COME UNDONE

Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed, with a home tattoo,
Happy birthday to you
was created for you

(Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces)

Oh, it'll take a little time,
might take a little crime
to come undone now

We'll try to stay blind
to the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry

Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone
(repeat)

Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before
Chill, is it something real
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers

(Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces)

Lost, in a snow filled sky, we'll make it alright
To come undone now

We'll try to stay blind
to the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry

Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone
(repeat)
(Can't ever keep from falling apart)

ÚPLNE NA DNE

Moj, nepoškvrnený sen získal dych a pokožku
Čakám na teba
Označený domácim tetovaním
Všetko najlepšie k narodeninám
bolo vytvorené pre teba

(Nemôžeme vždy bez jaziev z pádu vyviaznuť
Je možné uveriť,že drobíš moje srdce na kúsky?)

Oh, zaberie to trochu času,
Dokážeš sa dopustiť priestupku
voči teraz absolútne zničenej?

Skúsime zostať navonok slepí
k nádeji a strachu
Hej dieťa, zostaň divokejšie než vietor
A privej ma k plaču ...

Koho potrebuješ, koho miluješ
Keď si úplne na dne?
(repeat)

Slová, prehrávajú mi deja vu,
ako rádiová melódia, prísahám,že som to už počul
Zimomriavky, je to niečo reálne
alebo kúzlo, som ukojený tvojmi prstami

(Nemôžeme vždy bez jaziev z pádu vyviaznuť
Je možné uveriť,že drobíš moje srdce na kúsky?)

Stratení v snehom naplnenej oblohe, urobíme to správne
pre teraz absolútne zničenú.

Skúsime zostať navonok slepí
k nádeji a strachu
Hej dieťa, zostaň divokejšie než vietor
A privej ma k plaču ...

Koho potrebuješ, koho miluješ
Keď si úplne na dne?
(repeat)
(Nemôžeme vždy z pádu vyviaznuť)

Breath After Breath

ama danca

everyday I wake up in this room and I don't know
where I come from where I'm going to
then I hear the voice

"senhora musa da paz
me abraca me carrega no teu andor
dormir no colo da dor
amiga arrasa
a tua mao desenhou o sonho
na areia
agora entrega de vez meu rumo evida"

from where I stand the truth isn't black and white
alone we live and die, love and fight
breath after breath we carry this mortal coil
safe for tomorrow

do I dare oh do I dare
follow through the footsteps my whole body hears
beating on my heart like a feather
beating of a moment til I disappear

"diga uma palavra alegre
manda um recado
que seja agora
faz o mundo ficar novo
e dancar no colo do tal de anior"

from where I stand
the truth isn't black and white
alone we live and die we love and fight
breath after breath we carry this mortal coil

circles in sand are washed out into the sea
just as we slip on through to eternity
breath after breath we carry this mortal coil
safe for tomorrow

"diga uma palavra
cara bem alegre
corre manda logo um recado
me abraca faz um clima doce
me arrepia
chega de sufocol
me poe loucol
me faz diamante
teu amante
danca ao som do vento
me ensina basta de sufoco
nao faz jogo"

a flame of love is burning
always the song is of the planets

oh whooooooooo

the dance is to the rhythm of the rain
where everyone is coming is coming to
and birth is just a breath after breath
UMF

here we stand in the shadow of the master plan
makin trouble wherever we can
stir it up, stir it up, stir it up
can't you see this boy is goin cheap
knockdown to a basement deal
but I really won't stop til I get to the top

take it from me I'm waitin here on my knees
just love the way you tease me oh
such a wonderful person
don't play rough easy when you know you're stuff
say please and sure enough
I find I'm makin love to the ultimate mind

come and take a look put it to me baby
I can feel love come tumblin down
I just wanna wrap myself in ya baby
we can tell the world were foolin around

ultimately I'd say she's toyin with me
it's a case of wait and see
but right now I'm gonna keep my pants on
a to z she's doin it to my head
we don't need to go to bed
you'll find to make love to the ultimate mind

put it to me babe
we could feel love
wanna wrap myself in ya babee
we'll tell the world

talk me round lets do it right here and now
I don't want you coolin down
turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

we can fit realities
two way split personality life's a bitch
but I'm fine makin love to the ultimate mind

heaven's bent we're completely innocent
we all got to pay the rent
and in time we learn to compromise

talkin tall I feel invisible
can you see me after all that I said
theres only one thing for it

take a look put it to me baby
I can feel love come tumblin down
I just want to wrap myself in ya baby
we can tell the world we're foolin around
None of the Above

there was a time I was so afraid
of everything people around me said
that I wanted to hide my face in the shadows

there was a time on a bed of nails
I was dreaming a plan I though could fail
but no power under the sun could pull it together

I can't take this attitude
got to show now I got to move on
god knows where I'm going to
it's a lonely burning question

I am I myself alone
realize I never need to use no-one
money, power, holy roads
freedom puts my faith in none of the above

if there's a time that we ever see
the nature of life in reality
then I want to be there
to kick at the answer

I can't take this attitude
got to show now I got to move on
god knows where I'm going to
it's a lonely burning question

I am I myself alone
realize I never need to use no-one
money, power, holy roads
freedom puts my faith in none of the above

none of the above
I stand by none of the above

OSUDOVÁ ŽENA

Tu prichádza,
radšej si dávaj pozor
zlomí ti srdce, je to pravda
Nie jeťažké si to uvedomiť
stačí sa len pozrieť do jej falošných namaľovaných očí
Vychváliťa, len abyťa ponížila, sišašo

Pretože každý vie,
(Ona je osudovážena)
Robí veci, aby potešila
(Ona je osudovážena)
Len koketuje
(Ona je osudovážena)
Pozri, ako kráča,
počúvaj, ako hovorí

Si u nej zapísaný
sčíslom 37, pozri
Bude sa smiať, aby si sa mračil, sišašo
Chlapče, ona je z ulice
prv než začneš, už si porazený
urobí z teba blázna, je to pravda

Pretože každý vie,
(Ona je osudovážena)
Robí veci, aby potešila
(Ona je osudovážena)
Len koketuje
(Ona je osudovážena)
Pozri, ako kráča,
počúvaj, ako hovorí

Pokúsi sa ponížiťťa,
najtvrdšie dievča v okolí
pretože každý vie,
Robí veci, aby potešila
len koketuje
a všetci vedia
Ona je to osudovážena
Ona je to osudovážena
Ona je to osudovážena
Shelter

I watch you from my window
working this vicious road
you shudder when the wind blows
girl you're looking beat and cold

don't know your situation
but you look so alone to me
in my imagination
this is how the message reads

just come softly to me
in the shelter of my heart

trust my intuition
you're the one I've got to know
I give without condition
wouldn't try to save your soul

money or reputation
doesn't mean a thing to me
special communication
it's the only thing we need

reaching out...calling out
just come softly to me
calling out...hear me know
in the shelter of my heart
reaching out...calling out
hear me now...do you read me???
in the shelter of my heart

here there is no pain to feel
here is safe for lips unsealed

just come softly to me
reaching out
reaching out for your love babe
calling out
calling out for your love
for your love babe
just come softly to me
in the shelter of my heart
To Whom It May Concern

Dear Mr. Bones,
I've had enough, you can try to pull us down with your pinstripe weasal stuff but word travels in this town. I wouldn't
write home about you, we're better off without you, without you Mr. Bones.

Some people feed on other people's troubles. Some people beat on other people's meat. Some people want to bleed us dry and some people... gonna drown on your feet.

You said "Boys I'll get you more but you have got to pay me by the hour". Anyway you are just another bore who believes he's a superpower. When you talk about loyalty I just hope you realise, since you ate my royalties Mr. Bones this is goodbye.

This is goodbye and as such hereinafter shall be referred.
Notwithstanding or foregoing statements unpreferred. Don't claim you understand when you've not heard a single word, a dicky bird.

Some people feed on other people's troubles. Some people beat on other people's meat. Some people want to bleed us dry and some people...gonna drown on your feet.

Yours sincerely,
Duran Duran
SIN OF THE CITY

Coat check girl up in Happyland
Has a violent row with a Cuban man
Julio leaves in a drunken rage
Comes back with the gasoline
The club has no fire exit
The club had no door
Only five people came out alive

The sin is that 89 died
89 dead
89 dead
89 dead
89 dead

The sin is that a year and a half
Before the fire chief's out
And he's raising cain brands
Happyland hazzard close down but no.

No-one ever paid him no mind
City living heavy trouble
City living rough
We are given angry heart
But angers not enough

Daily News reviews of the landlords life
Found six thousand code violations light.
The city has more a hundred thousand wars
All for one of Forbes' Four Hundred whores.
Just one fire cracker on a big bonfire
Of self serving penny pinching wiseguy style.
Never allowing for the human condition.
The sin is that these guys survive.

City living heavy trouble
City living rough.
We are given angry heart
But anger's not enough...
(repeat)

You're using your people up.
Stop killing your people now.
Stop wasting your people now
Sin of the City.

HRIECH MESTA

Dievča v károvanom kabáte v Happylande
Má zúrivú hádku s Kubáncom
Julio odchádza v opitej zúrivosti
Vracia sa s benzínom
Klub nemá únikový východ
Klub nemá dvere
Iba 5ľudí vyšloživých

Hriech je,že 89 umreli
89 mŕtvych
89 mŕtvych
89 mŕtvych
89 mŕtvych

Hriech je,že rok a pol
predtým, než odiešielšéf požiarnikov
On upozorňoval na
zatvorenie Happylandu pre možné nebezpečie.

Nikto mu nikdy nevenoval pozornosť
Mestožijúce vťažkých problémoch
Mestožijúce drsne
dostaneme nahnevané srdce
ale hnev nestačí

Denné správy kritizujúživot majiteľov
Zistených 6 tisíc porušení zákonov
Mesto je v stotisícich vojnách
Všetky pre jednu zoštyristo Forbesových kuriev
Len jeden blázon vo veľkom ohni
sebeslužiaceho lakomého vševedúcehoštýlu
Nikdy neumožňujúcemuľudské podmienky
Hriech je,že takýtoľudia prežijú

Mestožijúce vťažkých problémoch
Mestožijúce drsne
dostaneme nahnevané srdce
ale hnev nestačí
(repeat)

Využívateľudí
Zastavte zabíjanie vlastnýchľudí
Zastavte plytvanie vlastnýmiľuďmi
Hriech mesta

Falling Angel
(SP Femme Fatale)

From this cloud where i hang, dangled in the blue
I spy you all tiny creatures on the ground below
For my being reckless got me strung up in the sky
Love is flawed now, see the lawless cry
Cut my cord now, better then, better off to die

Here am I, your falling angel, dangled in the blue
I'm your angel, and i wish that i could be like you

It's my time, all i have for my crime is such
Knowing that the thing i love is that which i can't touch
So i watch your fragile beauty changing in the sun
Love is flawed now, see the lawless cry
Cut my cord now, better then, better off to die

Well here am I your falling angel dangle in the blue
I'm your angel how I wish that I could be with you
Falling angel dangle in the blue
I'm your angel and I wish that I could be like you

I believe in you
I don't believe it all but I believe in you
I don't believe it all but I believe in you
I don't believe it all but I believe in you
I don't believe it all but I believe in you....

PADAJÚCI ANJEL
(B-Strana Femme Fatale)

Z tohto mračna kde visím húpajúc sa na oblohe
sledujem vás všetky maličké tvory na zemi podomnou
pre moju bezohľadnosť ma zavesili na oblohu
Láska má trhliny, vidím bezuzdný plač
odstrihni mišnúru, lepšie teda, lepšie je umrieť

Tu som, tvoj padajúci anjel, húpem sa na oblohe
som tvoj anjel aželám si, aby som bol ako ty

Čas je všetkočo mám, pretože môj zločin je taký
Vediac,že veci, ktoré milujem sú tie, ktorých sa nemôžem dotknúť
takže sledujem tvoju krehkú krásu meniacu sa na slnku
Láska má trhliny, vidím bezuzdný plač
odstrihni mišnúru, lepšie teda, lepšie je umrieť

Nuž, tu som, tvoj padajúci anjel, húpem sa na oblohe
som tvoj anjel aželám si , aby som bol s tebou
padajúci anjel, húpem sa na oblohe
som tvoj anjel aželám si, aby som bol ako ty

Verím v teba,

neverím v to všetko ale verím v teba
neverím v to všetko, ale verím v teba
neverím v to všetko, ale verím v teba
neverím v to všetko, ale verím v t

Time For Temptation
(SP Come Undone)

time for temptation what you see is there for you
time for temptation no damnation for what you do

why you chasin' a lost religion
of guilty feelings that belong in yesterday

here's the rub down
of secret hours locked in the backroom
come together right

check your vision of push it out there
you make the questions
define what it's all about

time for temptation what you see is there for you
time for temptation no damnation for what you do

oh, ohh

slave boat in motion to the aftermath
the boss gets back while you just get older
here comes the nation set to put you right

time for temptation what you see is there for you
time for temptation no damnation for what you do
Stop Dead
(SP Femme Fatale)

stop

come on red light get into green
I hit the brake
I must be dreamin

and stop dead in my tracks
got to fix on you
don't wanna lose you from my sight
where you goin to

I've got my eyes on the action (you a love addition)
be crazed in bull satisfaction (and you'll run things up)
do what you do and do it for me
body in motion

stop dead in my tracks
gotta fix on you
don't wanna lose you from my sight

stop dead in my tracks

I rise up
to remain your victim (who are you- away from infraction)
a full scale atack on the system (who are you- and where we're gonna rise up)
do what you do and do it for me
I'm into red line territory

and I'm stopped dead in my tracks
gotta fix on you
don't wanna lose you from sight
where you goin to (gotta know now)
and I'm stopped dead in my tracks
gotta fix on you
don't wanna lose you from my sight

stop dead in my tracks
