Duran Duran(named after a character in Roger Vadim's sci-fi classic, Barbarella) are an electronic pop-rock band that were part of the new wavemusic movement in the early 1980s. Created by Nick Rhodes(keyboards) and John Taylor(bass) in 1978, with the later addition of Roger Taylor(drums), Andy Taylor(guitar), and Simon Le Bon(lead vocals), the band have sold over 70 million records and are the most commercially successful of the new romanticbands. Their songs were cheerful, hook-laden pop that fared well on the radio, but what many remember best about Duran Duran are their iconic music videos. Though many of the videos were tongue-in-cheek, the band never quite escaped the glamorous and decadent jet set image their early videos projected. The band spent on an average more than a six figure sum (Â£), on first 3 albums videos (each) alone.

Ball & Chain Lyrics

Duran Duran

(lebon, rhodes, cuccurullo, taylor)
Early morning
As the day is dawning
Youre street gutter crawling
When the sun comes up
Baby crying
Says today shes dying
But shes always lying
And thats a ballnchain
You got the ballnchain
Youre in the ballnchain gang
Coz youre the ballnchain man
Bruises for breakfast
Aint nobodys business
But pains a lonely mistress
And you cant give up
(thats a ballnchain)
Flame burning
Money that youre earning
And you will be returning
With a ballnchain
(chorus)
Why do you love me
When you dont need me
Why do you want me all of the time ?
In my whole life, didnt get no peacetime
And I dont care if I live or die
(thats a ballnchain)
You got the ballnchain
You got the ballnchain
You got the ballnchain
You got the ballnchain
You got the ballnchain
You got the ballnchain
You got the ballnchain
You got the ballnchain
Youre the one to blame
You got to love that pain
