• if you can please help me to clarify one part of this song, thank you :-)

    Now the figureheads have fell
    And lovers war with arrows over
    Secrets they could tell

    “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 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 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

    Grammatically, there is a lot incorrect.  But when it comes to art, while there may be a meaning, a lot is up for interpretation.
    No idea on what it’s supposed to mean…


  • Amon-Sul:

    why do you worry so much about these lyrics?

    Duran Duran is a stupid band of british kids who actually had dental work. They hardly have artistic talent because they represent popular music which is a digestable form of art for the masses. It has no value after the first couple of years after it came out.

    Why not get something from William Shakespeare and try to get at that. It would help you more than something drunk Simon lebon wrote when he was 20.

    Even in the genre of “'80’s pop”  Duran Duran was just a flash in the pan.  A group of good looking guys who rode the “Music Video” craze to stardom. The precursor to “Boy bands” of the '90’s.  All fluff no substance.  If you’re looking for meaningful lyrics and awesome musical talent check out Fleetwood Mac…Stevie Nicks is the bomb!


  • Heres something from Ultravox:

    I want to be a machine-
    I found the bones of all your ghosts
    Locked in the wishing well
    While birdsong gourmets dragged empty nets
    I slumbered in my shell

    In mitternacht, die mensch-maschine
    Kissed me on my eyes
    I rose and left the fire-ladies
    Glowing lonely in the night
    With all the pornographers
    Burning torches beneath the sea

    Chorus:

    I want to be a machine
    I want to be a machine
    I want to be a machine
    I want to be a machine

    I stole a cathode face from newscasts
    And a crumbling fugue of songs
    From the reservoir of video souls
    In the lakes beneath my tongue
    In flesh of ash and silent movies
    I walked at boulevards again
    A nebula of unfinished creatures
    From the lifetimes of my friends
    I hope your innocence has depraved me

    (Chorus)

    Broadcast me, scrambled clean
    Or free me from this flesh
    Let the armchair cannibals take their fill
    In every cell across wilderness
    We’ll trip such a strangled tango
    We’ll waltz a wonderland affair
    Let’s run to meet the tide tomorrow
    Leave all emotion dying there
    In the star cold beyond all of your dreams
    –-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Stranger Within—
    Light comes through a crack in the door
    I tape up the windows once more
    Tight like a cold hand of steel
    Don’t fear the stranger within

    Hands that petrify in the air
    Eyes catching things never there
    Sweet tension caught on my breath
    Don’t fear the stranger within

    Watch every shape that escapes
    Scared to make the final mistake
    Speak to hear the sound of your voice
    Don’t fear the stranger within

    Sit in the corner with your back to the wall
    Pray to your God with your head in your hands
    Your mask of fear is shrinking fast
    It’s closing in more amour
    You stand on borrowed time, your sweating palms and chilling brow
    Your wide-eyed panic makes you laugh, you cry and laugh
    Freeze until the noise decays, a shuffle from behind a door
    Your throat is tight, it makes you choke and smoke and choke
    Eyes will grow accustomed to the dark, a stifled scream that won’t come out
    There’s nothing more to fear from the stranger within

    Don’t fear the stranger within
    I feel the stranger within
    I see the stranger within
    Don’t know the stranger within
    I am the stranger within
    I am the stranger within
