[Verse 1]
Hold back the rain

So what if the words ain’t rhyming
Did you think that it’s just a game?
I probably didn’t even say that right
And I really don’t give a damn

Okay go off and wander
I'm guilty just the same
Sometimes you're needed badly
So please come back again

[Chorus]
And if the fires burn out there's only fire to blame
(hold back the rain)
No time for worry cause we're on the roam again
(hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
(hold back the rain)
Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain

(hold back the rain)
(hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
(hold back the rain)
Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain

(hold back the rain)
(hold back the rain)
(hold back the rain)
(hold back the rain)

Hey, hey
Hold back the rain

And if the fires burn out there's only fire to blame
No time for worry cause we're on the roam again
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain

Hold back the rain
And if the stars burn out, there's only fire to blame
(Hold back the rain)
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
(Hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
(Hold back the rain)
Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain

Hold back the rain...
Hold back the rain...
Hold back the rain...
Hold back the rain...
Hold back the rain...
Hold back the rain...
Hold back the rain...
Hold back the rain...
Hold back the rain...
Hold back the rain...
Hold back the rain...

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.
