Duran Duran – Notorious Lyrics 20 years ago
It's about the media's cruelty to Duran.

"I can't read about it
burns the skin from your eyes."

Can't even read about the rubbish being said about them.

"Lay your seedy judgements
who says they're part of our lives?"

Who says the media's shallow opinions comes with being a celebrity? the price of fame.

"you own the money
you control the witness"

The media pay the kiss and tell girl or whoever to seel them out.

"I hear you're lonely
don't monkey with my business"

They're nosey because they're lonely.

Duran Duran – New Religion Lyrics 20 years ago
I think it's about gang rape.

"Bring my timing in"

Tell him his turn.

"Seaguls gather on the wind"

The men raping the woman. Seaguls (vultures, pests) are the men and the "wind" is the woman.

"Lady screaming, lady leave me out."

The lady shouting to stop, her reluctant and nervous attacker telling her it's not his fault.

"And steaming crowds they gather and they shout"

Other men cheering it on. Reminds me of the movie "The Accused."

Duran Duran – My Own Way Lyrics 20 years ago
I think 7up is Simon bragging about his penis being 7 inches long when erect.

The 6th and Broadway is the distance between the woman's legs.

The "45th" is the number of his sexual conquests.

Duran Duran – Union Of The Snake Lyrics 20 years ago
it's about tanttric sex.

"The word Tantra means expansion. It is a Sanskrit word, connected to an Eastern Indian spiritual path, Tantra Yoga. The ultimate goal of Tantra Yoga is the Divine Union between the goddess Shakti and god Shiva. Shakti, also called Kundalini, is in the base of the spine. In her form as Kundalini she is seen as a cobra, coiled 3 1 / 2 times, asleep. As Shakti, she is the divine feminine, passionate, strong, an incredibly creative force to be reckoned with.

The Divine Union takes place as the Kundalini snake starts waking up at the base of the spine, gradually uncoiling herself as she rises up the spine. She pierces each chakra in her undulating movement upward, and meets god Shiva, seen as pure consciousness, at the top of the head. Their merging ends the longing for wholeness.

The dance of Shakti and Shiva symbolizes the coming together of the feminine and masculine energies inside a person, as well as the creation of the world."

Nick Kershaw – The Riddle Lyrics 20 years ago
I think Nik was lying. This song is obviously about war that's why their are war whistles and war like drums in the song production.

"for sins and false alarms
so to america the brave"

"false alarms" could be that America thought they heard the bomb.

"near a tree by a river
there's a hole in the ground"

the hole being the trenches that the men hide in from the attacking country.

"for a strange kind of fashion
there's a wrong and a right"

The "fashion" being that the men are following orders to kill but for every action there's a wrong and right. In this case killing is wrong, war or not.

"i got plans for us"

The president of America's plans and ideas for the country he will conquer (Irak?)

"wise men fighting over you"

oh come on! This is the most crucial line in the song. The "you" is the country that the two armies are fighting over and dying for.

"with just a song of mine
to keep from burning history
seasons of gasoline and gold"

He has written the song so that the war is always remembered. "gasoline" is set alight to kill their openents and "gold" is what the president will get if they take over the country.

"a blackbird sings on bluebird hill
thanks to the calling of the wild wise mens child. "

a black woman sighing with relief that her husband is still alive after the war. She is informed by one of the soilders children.

The Smiths – Hand in Glove Lyrics 20 years ago
LOL! hereticeye, you think Morriseey's insulting gay people? Morrissey is gay! queer, homo, pansy. Morrissey is a big old gay man and that's why he's so unhappy. A lot of his songs are about his sexual orientaion and his confusion and his struggle to be open with it. He doesn't parade it around but if if you were the ask him if he was gay he wouldn't say no. Listen to 'I have forgiven Jesus' and 'What difference does it make' two of the smiths "gay" songs.

Duran Duran – So Misled Lyrics 20 years ago
I think this song is about catching an STD...
That's all I could make of it.

"Was a month before I realized"...
that I had the STD.

"Now my body's gotta use it"...
Some medication prescribed.

"Saw an advert in a magazine
SAFE it said
With the satisfaction guaranteed
To cool your head"

Condom?

Duran Duran – Hungry Like The Wolf Lyrics 20 years ago
This is my favourite Duran song. Brilliantly written. I think it's about oral sex.

"Straddle the line in discord and rhyme"
a metaphor for sexual play.

"Mouth is alive with juices like wine"
Her vaginal fluids in Simon's mouth.

"High blood drumming on your skin it's so tight"
What happens to a woman when she bceomes sexually aroused, her vagina becomes "tight"
