[Verse 1: Simon Le Bon]
Things that you used to say now take on different meanings you realise
Can't be too careful about the lines
Come on, you know you're not so young you cannot hide behind disguise
Listen to your own desire

[Chorus: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
Eyes like an angel, so wise don't lie
You never feel like this again
Fly like an angel, so high this time
You send my senses streaming free

[Verse 2: Simon Le Bon]
Places you used to go when you were young look different in the dark
Don't you worry, it's okay
And maybe I can help you find your way tonight I think you will agree
Summer reason's run away

[Chorus: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
Eyes like an angel, so wise don't lie
You never feel like this again
Fly like an angel, so high this time
You send my senses streaming free

[Interlude]

[Verse 3: Simon Le Bon]
Oh, I hear your heart beating even faster now than mine
Now you know just what I mean
So take your place among those twilight gleaming rivers that you read
Give me reasons to believe

[Chorus: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
Eyes like an angel, so wise don't lie
You never feel like this again
Fly like an angel, so high this time
You send my senses streaming free

[Coda: Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
Like an angel
Like an angel

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.
