[Intro]

[Verse 1]
"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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
"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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When all your guilt lies 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

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
When all your pain lies 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

A quiet word is my Proposition
A promise made of a fierce day
A body bleeds for this coalition
Without surrender if you stay

[Outro]

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.
