[Verse 1: Ana Matronic]
People say you've been around
How about you and me get down?[x2]
Babe I know you've been around
Unmake your bed
Don't think about what lies ahead
Don't you want to be misled?[x2]

[Chorus 1: Duran Duran]
Fame, seems a far off day
When enough was never enough
Vain, how I played my hand
One more reckless man in the rough

[Bridge]
Strange, how we explain the story that we've lived through
Change, my karma train, the person I can be for you is

[Chorus 2]
Safe - safe in the heat of the moment
A stillness that comes to me
When I'm close to you
Safe - safe at the speed of atonement
A feeling that runs so deep
That it scares me too

[Verse 2]
Dazed by my own escape
From the single state I was used to
Face my catch-22
Can I stay this way if I choose to

[Bridge]
Wrong, to be so contained now I can't explain what is happening
Strong, is the human chain, as it pulls me through, what I bring to you is

[Chorus 2][x2]

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 3: Ana Matronic]
Hook a finger wink an eye
Caresses running up your thigh
Scratch my surface dig in deep
There's always secrets left to keep
Safe not sound who made these rules
Crowd control for enlightened fools
So come on boy let's change the pace
Come feel the chill of my embrace
People say you've been around
How about you and me get down?[x2]
Babe I know you've been around
Unmake your bed
Don't think about what lies ahead
Don't you want to be misled?[x2]

[Chorus 2][x2]

DURAN DURAN has a total of over 80 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on five continents. They’ve managed to fuse pop music, art, technology and fashion with a unique sense of style and confidence. Princess Diana also admitted that Duran Duran was her favourite Band among others.

Bassist John Taylor has said the original vision for the band’s sound was ‘to fuse the Sex Pistols and Chic’ after hearing those two bands back-to-back on a pub jukebox one night.
