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 (£), on first 3 albums videos (each) alone.

Edge Of America Lyrics

Duran Duran

(lebon, rhodes, taylor)
Walk the edge of america.
A concrete beach to scrape my head,
Inside the subway stinking fear and shame becomes the violent breath.
Vigilantes out on dawn patrol, but now theres nothing left to hide.
Im just a number on the metal fence which marks the great divide.
(sing it)
Hey boy give your dreams a rest, if youre tired of searching..
This is where it ends, theres nothing left to lose nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now, anger here is all you possess..
Welcome to the edge
Below the towers of the citadel,
Seems someone overlooked the cost.
Forgotten soldier of paradise, now paradise is lost.
Recognition never realised,
Salvation lost among the crowd.
So tell me here beside the sterile sea where is your nation now?
(we say)
Hey boy give your dreams a rest, if youre tired of searching..
This is where it ends, theres nothing left to lose nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now, anger here is all you possess..
Welcome to the edge
