[Verse 1]
Dear Mr.Bones, I've (we've) had enough
You can try to pull us down
With your pin-stripe weasel stuff
But word travels in this town
I wouldn't write home about you
We're better off without you
Without you, Mr.Bones

[Chorus]
Some people feed on other people's troubles
Some people beat on other people's meat
Some people want to bleed us dry
And some people...Gonna down on your feet

[Verse 2]
You said "Boys, I'll get you more
But you have got to pay me by the hour"
Anyways you are just another bore
Who believes he's a superpower
When you talk about loyalty
I just hope you realize
Since you ate my royalties
Mr. Bones this is goodbye
This is goodbye and such hereinafter shall be refereed
Not withstanding or foregoing statements preferred
Don't claim you understand
When you've not heard a single word, a dicky bird

[Chorus]

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.
