Notorious
No-no-Notorious. Notorious. Ah. No-no-Notorious.
I can't read about it.
Burns the skin from your eyes.
I'll do fine without it.
Here's one you don't compromise.
Lies come hard in disguise.
They need to fight it out.
Not wild about it.
Lay your seedy judgements.
Who says they're part of our lives?[CHORUS]
You own the money ;
You control the witness.
I'll leave you lonely.
Don't monkey with my business.
You pay the prophets to justify your reasons.
I heard your promise,but I don't believe it.That's why I've done it again. No-no-Notorious.
Girls will keep the secrets (uh)
So long as boys make a noise.
Fools run rings to break up.
Something they'll never destroy.
Grand Notorious slam (bam).
And who really gives a damn for a flaky bandit?
Don't ask me to bleed about it;
I need this blood to survive.[CHORUS]
That's why I've done it again. No-no-Notorious.
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
That's why I've done it again. No. No.
That's why I've done it again. No-no-Notorious.
That's why I've done it again. No-no-Notorious.
No-no-Notorious. Yeah.
That's why I've done it again. No-no-Notorious.
No-no-Notorious. Yeah.
That's why I've done it again. No-no-Notorious.
No-no-Notorious. -
American Science
It's a little bit late now,
But there's times you will
Get a little bit out of hand,
Making all of a spill.
And if we can lay this down,
You're going all the way.
Take a look and I'll check it out,
'cause I can always find it.Such a lonely place. Ooh.
This room without your face. Ooh.[CHORUS]
Ooh. American Science.
All night long she can two-step and sway.
Ooh, it's such awful manners.
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me.A little megalomania becomes you, evidently.
There ain't a thing you can acquire
With your cling-wrap plaything.
Just look at this state.
I crawl around in a daze,
Like symptomatic case
Of your soul persuasion.Such a lonely place. Ooh.
This room without your face. Ooh.[CHORUS]
Ooh, it's a little bit later now,
And there's time you will let it all get
Out of hand when you feel you feel.
I just switched on the operation.
Such a lovely face. Ooh.
It pulls me into place. Ooh.[CHORUS (Repeat for FADE)]

Skin Trade
Working on the weekend, baby.
She's working all through the night.
A jump into the deep end gave her
The evidence she required.
Takes five; she's got pearls.
Don't fake it when it comes to making money.
So she smiles. But that's cruel.
If you know what she thinks
If you knew what she was after.Sometimes she wonders,
And she laughs in her frustration.[CHORUS]
Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behaviour.
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the Skin Trade.Doctors of the revolution gave us
The medicine we desired.
Besides being absolutely painless
It's a question of compromise.
They got steel.
So cool to get angry at the weekend
And go back to school.
So big deal; it's what rules.
When it comes to making money,
Say yes, please; thank you.Sometimes you wonder, and ask yourself the question.
[CHORUS (Repeated)]
I know the answer, but I'm asking you the question.
[CHORUS (Repeat for FADE)]
-
A Matter Of Feeling
How does it feel
When everyone surrounds you?
How do you deal?
Do crowds just make you feel lonely?
What do you say
When people come and try to pin you down?
Acquaintances smile,
But that's no understanding.
How, after a while
You keep falling off the same mountain.
Try to explain it,
But nothing really gets them that high.[CHORUS]
Steal away in the morning;
Love's already history to you.
It's a habit you're forming.
This body's desperate for something new.
Just A Matter of Feeling
These moments of madness are sure to pass,
And tears will dry as you're leaving.
Who knows, you might find something to last.Emotion's a game,
Saved up for a rainy Monday.
But you laugh just the same,
'cause it's been pouring on Sunday.
Call up your numbers,
And never let the zeros bring you down.
How does it feel?
Is time too heavy to hold?
Whatever you decide for the moment is holy.
Whenever you slow down to see life is passing by.[CHORUS]
You can...[CHORUS]
A matter of feeling. A matter of feeling.
A matter of feeling. A matter of feeling. -
Hold Me
Yeah, this time.
Shall we walk?
Shall we run through my head, you understand?
Does the body you conceal
Need the touch of someone's hand?
Ashes; violations.
Who would they burn for?
In your isolation what can't you see?I wonder if the light's down.
I wonder if they're listening.[CHORUS]
Hold me. Lay your shame away.
Show me where your lovers stay.
Hold me. Lay your ghost away.
Show me for yourself.You are lost and alone,
But a prisoner of your pride.
When the passions you ignore
You can never hide.
One of these days you're gonna find out,
'cause one of these days you're gonna try.
And what did I say
To make you wind up
With this spear of guilt inside.I wonder if the light's down.
I wonder if they're listening.[CHORUS]
Na na na na na na na. Hold Me.
Na na na na na na. Show me.
No na na na na na na na na na.[CHORUS]

Vertigo (Do The Demolition)
Hey guys, turn it up to get sleazy.
Twist it in a vice
Nobody said it was easy.
Just use your naked eyes, oh.
How to see and how to hide it.
How to save it. Well, maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
You can take it and eat it, and chew your life supply.Where's the real life in your illusion?
On the dark side your power's in confusion.
Do the dance. Do the demolition.
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen.Don't you feel edgy?
Bite your lips and bleed.
Conversation is empty;
Abandoned in the freeze.
Freedom is your condemnation.
Free to say well, maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
You can take it or leave it.
Just need a little hit tonight.Where's the real life in your illusion?
On the dark of power in confusion.
Do the dance. Do the demolition.
Don't lose the chance to hear 'cause you don't listen.Maybe. Maybe. Maybe you can try to believe it.
Just need a little help tonight.Where's the real life in your illusion?
On the dark side of power in confusion.
Do the dance. Do the demolition.
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen.Where's the real life in your illusion?
On the dark side of power in confusion.
Do the dance. Do the demolition.
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen.Repeat for FADE:
Hear it when you listen.
You don't hear when you don't listen. -
So Misled
I,.......So Misled.
In the summer of a London life,
"Gold," she said, was a month before I
Realised sold instead.
Babe, it's such an awful choice.
Don't break my back.
Take it easy, now you whipping boy.
Don't wanna feel the crack.Trust my head to say lose it;
Now my body's got to use it.[CHORUS]
I should not be So Misled.
I should not be So Misled.Saw an advert in a magazine;
Safe it said, with the satisfaction
Guaranteed to cool your head.I can't see the solution
To this state of confusion.[CHORUS]
[Instrumental ad lib]
[CHORUS (Repeated for FADE)]

Meet El Presidente
Miss November Tuesday,
Bend your rubber rules.
Take your time, but don't take
Off your high heeled shoes.
She's in demand at dinner time;
She's on the factory wall.
And when the gentlemen retire
Guess who's in control?
She blew your money
On taking a cruise.
If that isn't funny,
Well, watch out teacher.[CHORUS]
Ooh, ooh. When the chamber's empty
She said ooh, ooh, Meet El Presidente.Dressed in flimsy clothing,
Use your lipstick line
To colour fear and loathing
With a pink disguise.
You've never refused when she lies back
Put a stripe on the union; and a star on the jack.
She's on the case at dinner time.
She's on the evening news.
And if you dare step out of line
You're going to be abused.
You may not like it;
You may not be scared.
But hell has no fury like a
Young girl's ego.[CHORUS]
Ooh, ooh. Doo, doo, doo.
You might adopt an attitude;
Look on the moral side.
But if police are after you,
Where's the best place to hide?
For this production
They gave her a gun.
Ain't no director--
So watch out actors![CHORUS (Repeat till finish)]
-
Winter Marches On
The trade's on.
She drains emotion
To drink from her breast of fortune.
Dreams have frozen crystal in the morning.
Birth time rose;
A thorn for coronation.All arise from your rest.
We will find enough there to feed you.
Soon you'll belong to the blest.
Spare us your lives while we need you.Loud is the music the crowd is bringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on.
Loud is the music. The sky is ringing.
Out of my head as the winter marches on.Loud is the music the crowd is bringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on.
Loud is the music. The sky is ringing.
Out of my head as the winter marches on.And on.
Winter marches on. -
Proposition
"Bring back that child," she said.
Spare me the price of freedom.
Cold is my baby's head,
Blown by the wind of reason.
Even the rage behind
Cries out to see
We're still standing
Under the closing edge.
Pay for the crime of feeling.When all your pride is dead
You must be scared instead.[CHORUS]
A quiet word is my Proposition.
A promise made of a fierce day.
A body bleeds for this coalition.
Without surrender if you stay."Show me my youth," she cried.
Wasted for desolation.
Hold up the sacrifice.
Pull down your institution.
Resting while anger flies.
Question's the same.
Who's deciding after the clouds have lain.
Shame on your generation.When all your guilt lies dead
You must be scared instead.[CHORUS]
When all your pain lies dead
You must be scared instead.[CHORUS (Repeating for FADE. Vocal ad lib.)]
-
We Need You
Time will see we're not searching for a wild excuse
To put emotions back on hold
Too much has gone down we know what you're doing
But do you feel the same way
You look sharp inside your pointed shoes
I have this picture hanging in my room
And I refuse to take you down or shake you down
We could bring you gently round if that's what you choose
For a point of view coz words like sand just get blown away
All those things we'd like to sayWe need you [Repeat ad lib and end]

A View To A Kill (Strange Behaviour Tour)
[Verse 1]
Meeting you with a view to a kill
Face to face in secret places, feel the chillNightfall covers me, but you know the plans I'm making
Still overseas, could it be the whole Earth opening wide
A sacred why, a mystery gaping inside
A week is why, until we...[Chorus]
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire[Verse 2]
The choice for you is the view to a kill
Between the shades assassination standing stillEarth's crystal tears, the fall of snowflakes on your body
First time in years to drench your skin in lover's rosy stain
A chance to find the phoenix for the flame
A chance to die, but can we...[Chorus]
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fireWhen all we see is the view to a kill

New Religion (Strange Behaviour Tour)
[Verse 1]
I've been now sauntering
Out and down the path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I know
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things
Telling me not there, man, it's no goI 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 knowI'll bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
Cause sometimes people stare
Sitting down, electric chair
Steaming crowds they gather and they shout[Chorus 1]
[Backing vocal Simon LeBon lead vocal]
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[Chorus 2]
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[Verse 2]
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[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[Verse 3]
Got to 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
They're lying in a swimming pool
Searching for the undeniable truth that
A man is just a fool[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]

The Chauffeur (Strange Behaviour Tour)
[Verse 1]
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[Chorus]
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[Verse 2]
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[Chorus]
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[Chorus]
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[Refrain]
Sing, Blue Silver[Bridge]
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[Chorus]
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[Chorus]
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[Refrain]
Sing, Blue Silver
Sing, sing Blue Silver[Outro]
"Known as Albert Schweitzer
There's more to this kind of camouflage, more than just colour and shape
Who's crawling now in the tall grass near my tent?
Listen..." -
Save A Prayer (Strange Behaviour Tour)
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
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[Chorus]
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[Verse 2]
Feel the breeze deep on the inside
Look you down into your well (Do-do-do-do-do)
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire (Do-do-do-do-do)
Take a chance like all dreamers
You can't find another way (Do-do-do-do-do)
You don't have to dream it all
Just live a day (Do-do-do-do-do)[Chorus]
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[Verse 3]
Pretty looking road
I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin (Do-do-do-do-do)
Don't ask me why, I'll keep my promise
Melt the ice (Do-do-do-do-do)
And you wanted to dance
So I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul (Do-do-do-do-do)
Some people call it a one-night stand
But we can call it paradise (Do-do-do-do-do)[Chorus]
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[Bridge]
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do[Outro]
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after... -
Hungry Like The Wolf (Strange Behaviour Tour)
[Verse 1]
Dark in the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is afire
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
Woman you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo[Chorus]
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[Verse 2]
Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo[Chorus 2]
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[Bridge]
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf[Chorus 3]
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 -
Wild Boys (Strange Behaviour Tour)
[Intro-Refrain]
Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys
Wild boys
Wild! Boys![Verse 1]
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[Pre-Chorus]
They tried to break us
Looks like they'll try again[Chorus]
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine[Verse 2]
You got sirens for a welcome
There's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing while
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 tellPre-Chorus
They tried to tame you
Looks like they'll try again[Chorus]
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine[Refrain]
Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys
Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys[Chorus]
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always[Chorus ]
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always[Outro-Chorus ]
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always, wild boys
