1. _ I Take The Dice
(words and music duran duran)
Midnight, i think i'm gonna make it
Feel the magical lash of the roll and the crash in their lives..
Headline, in tomorrow's papers,
Kill that light it's so bright
And you're shining it right in my eyes.
Show me your secret and tell me your name
Catch me with your fizzy smile
Try to remember again and again,
What it is that i recognise -
Don't ask me now
When i need you i don't know how
To believe in your advice,
Just this once i take the dice.
Midnight, so what's the point of faking
For a kiss or a whisper you pull out a desperate prize..
Hold tight, onto daddy's bracelet
Make them pay for their chances,
With money they don't think that's nice
(chorus)
(ba-ba, ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba-ba)
(chorus) (chorus) (chorus)

2. _ The Seventh Stranger
Those words are all remainders
Echos growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivety's star.
Awaken all those whispers,
The dusty shadow of a passing favour
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
I couldn't see from so far.
Was i chasing after rainbows?
One thing for sure - you never answered when i called.
And i wiped away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger...
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down -
In the eyes of the stranger!
Can't tell the real from reflections
When all these faces look the same to me
In every city such a desolate dream.
Some days are strange to number
Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
A year of sundays seems to have drifted right by -
I could have sworn in one evening.
And i'm not seized in desperation,
No steel reproaches on the table from before.
But i still can feel those splinters of ice
I look through the eyes of a stranger...
(chorus)
-
I must be chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answer when i call.
And i wipe away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger...
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
Walking away like a stranger
(chorus)
In the eyes of the stranger..
In the eyes of the stranger..
In the eyes of the stranger..

3. _ The Reflex
(words and music duran duran)
You gone too far this time
But i'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around -
With my chances on the dangerline
I'll cross that bridge when i find it
Another day to make my stand, oh..
High time is no time for deciding
If i should find a helping hand, oh..
So why don't you use it
Try not to bruse it
Buy time don't lose it
(chorus)
The reflex is an only child, he's waiting in the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a
Question mark
I'm on a ride and i want to get off
But they won't slow down the roundabout
I sold the renoir and the tv set
Don't want to be around when this gets out
(chorus) (chorus)
The reflex is an only child, he's waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does is an answer with a
Question mark
(chorus) (chorus)
The reflex is an only child, he's waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves me answered with a
Question mark
Oh, the reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a
Question mark

5. _ New Moon On Monday
(words and music duran duran)
Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which i deny.
I said it again but could i please re-phrase it
Maybe i can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer
But i'll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren
As if i could ever hide
Last time la luna,
I light my torch and wave it for the...
New moon on monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
(chorus)
Breaking away with the beast of both worlds
A smile that you can't disguise
Every minute i keep finding
Clues that you leave behind.
Save me from these reminders
As if i'd forget tonight
This time la luna,
I light my torch and wave it for the...
(chorus) (chorus)
I light my torch and wave it for the...
(chorus) (chorus) (chorus) (chorus)
New moon on monday
And a firedance though the night...

6. _ Union Of The Snake
Telegram force and ready
I knew this was a big mistake.
There's a fine line drawing my senses together,
And i think it's about to break.
If i listen close i can hear them singers, oh oh oh...
Voices in your body coming through on the radio,ho,ho...
The union of the snake is on the climb..
Moving up, it's gonna race, it's gonna break through the, borderline
Nightshades on a warning
Give me strength at least give me a light.
Give me anything even sympathy
There's a chance you could be right.
(chorus) (chorus pt2)
-
(chorus)
The union of the snake is on the climb..
It's gonna race it's gonna break -
Gonna move up to the borderline..
The union of the snake is on the climb..
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break through the borderline.
The union of the snake is on the climb
It's gonna race it's gonna break -
Gonna move up to the borderline..

7. _ Shadows On Your Side
Shackled and raised for a shining crowd,
They want you to speak but the music is louder than -
All of their roar, with the heat of the planet's core, but..
The shadows are on your side,
As soon as the lights go down.
In the darkest place you can find,
You belong to the hands of the night..
Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known it can only bend -
To a tune of its own, hey you'll never hear that voice again.
Scandal in white on a tangled vine
With everybody to say that you're having the time of your life -
When your life is on the slide, but..
(chorus) (chorus)
-
(oh-ohh...oh-oh-oh)
(oh-ohh...oh-oh-oh)
Spinning a compass to choose your way
You can run, you can dive, you can stand and you can soar..
Whichever way you can be sure, that...
(chorus) (chorus)
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on..

8. _ Of Crime And Passion
Why did you let me run,
When you knew i'd fall for the gaping hole -
Where your heart should be?
Liar - couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried -
Just take a look, before you run off and hide, at your victim, arise...
Clouds on you shoulder
Aren't they grazed by the afterglow
How quiet they gather -
When the storm is about to blow -
Oh, oh, now don't look away,
Caught in the crossfire
And it ain't no wind of change
I'm talking of crime and passions rage.
Summer of madness the undertow, dragged me up an alley -
For the blossoming fire on a strangers smile.
Bride of wires - how disguise so easily cracked -
Saw your heart turn spade, this orchids turned to black..
Graze on your shoulder
Like the clouds in the afterglow
How quiet they gather -
When the storm is about to blow -
Oh, oh, now don't look away
Caught in the crossfire
And it ain't no wind of change
I'm talking of crime and passions rage
-
Way down by the shoulder
In the haze of the afterglow
Stranded together -
And the storm's about to blow -
Oh, oh, now don't look away
Caught in the crossfire
And it ain't no wind of change
I'm talking of crime and passions..
Oh, oh now don't look away
Caught in the crossfire
And it ain't no wind of change
I'm talking of crime and passion..
Don't look away
Caught in the crossfire
And if ain't no wind of change
I'm talking of crime and passion...

9. _ (i'm Looking For) Cracks In The Pavement
(words and music: duran duran)
I shed my skin
When the party was about to begin
I'm light years away but
I'm walking back, tonight,
Of all nights
When i should be feeling just right
Don't want to be in public,
My head is full of chopstick i don't like it.
Something on my mind..
Breaking open doors i sealed up before,
Something on my mind..
Makes me run when i thought i'd run too far.
Somebody shaking my tree
Maybe that somebody is me
I'm standing in the light but i'm making a break for
The shadows on the cinema wall.
They should be mine but i'm not that tall
Now i'm saying this in private
If i had a car,
I'd drive it insane
(chorus) (chorus)
I'm looking for cracks in the pavement...
(chorus) (chorus) (chorus)
