Released: November 18, 1986

Songwriter: Simon Le Bon Nick Rhodes John Taylor

Producer: Nile Rodgers Duran Duran

"Candle in the Wind" is a song with music by Elton John and lyrics by Bernie Taupin. It was originally written in 1973, in honor of Marilyn Monroe, who had died 11 years earlier. In 1997, John performed a remake of the song as a tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales. This version of the song was released as a single, and reached No. 1 in many countries, proving a much greater success than the original. The original version in the key of E major appeared on John's 1973 album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Read more on Last.fm.

[Intro]
No-no-Notorious
Notorious
(Ah)
No-no-Notorious

[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
No-No-Notorious

[Verse 2]
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]
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

[Instrumental Bridge & Refrain]

Notorious

[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

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

[Outro]
No
No
That's why I've done it again
No-Notorious
Yeah, that's why I've done it again
No-no-Notorious
Yeah, that's why I've done it again
No-Notorious
No-no-Notorious
Yeah, that's why I've done it again
No-Notorious
No-no-Notorious!
