[Verse 1]
Time ain't gonna wait
For even you, my friend
I can't stay late
I'm looking at the end
Ace high, hypnotised
And sucked into that scene
Taking on a guise, it wasn't really me

[Verse 2]
Hard years later
And we're still hanging on
For the St. Jackpot score
That's never gonna come

[Pre-Chorus]
Not running away now
Been running all day
But it's falling apart now
It's been coming all day

[Chorus]
Oh, I have been your laughing boy
I took it on the chin
Accepted gracefully
And all the heat that you deploy (Your laughing boy)
The more I take (Your laughing boy)
The more I break

[Verse 3]
Cooking fires on a beach
Smoke finger in the sky
You know that's where I should be
My baby by my side
Good times from the start
Remember, yeah, but now
The palace gang's back to old
Things, that's my cue
I'm gettin' out in style

[Chorus]
For I have been your laughing boy (Your laughing boy)
I took it on the chin (Your laughing boy)
Accepted gracefully
And all the heat that you deploy (Your laughing boy)
The more I take (Your laughing boy)
The more I break

[Pre-Chorus]
Not running away now
Been running all day
But it's falling apart now
It's been coming all day

[Chorus]
Oh, I have been your laughing boy (Your laughing boy)
I took it on the chin (Your laughing boy)
Accepted gracefully
And all the heat that you deploy
Your laughing boy
The more I take (Your laughing boy)
The more I break
For I have been your loving boy (Your laughing boy)
I took it on the chin (Your laughing boy)
Accepted gracefully
And all the heat you can't deploy (Your laughing boy)
The more I take (Your laughing boy)
The more I break

Duran Duran

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.
