Duran Duran - My Own Way

Duran Duran - My Own Way
Genre: New Wave
Released: November 16,1981
Recorded: Townhouse Studios, London
Lyrics:
I saw you at the air-race yesterday
April showers get out of my way
Fear of flying? No not me
I'm never bothered what you say
Someone's kid just lives for today
It ain't your problem anyway

'Cause I've got my own way, I can find my own way, 'cause I've got my own way
'Cause I've got my own way, I can find my own way, 'cause I've got my own way

Number one public figure, what a pain
Just puts another rattle in your brain
Take another green but it's not the same
So now you're on the sand-lane everyday
Dancing with the bulls in any old way
Running like a fox to keep up with me

'Cause I've got my own way, I can find my own way, 'cause I've got my own way
'Cause I've got my own way, I can find my own way, 'cause I've got my own way

I'm on 45, between 6th and Broadway

7UP, between 6th and Broadway

'Cause I've got my own way, I can find my own way, 'cause I've got my own way
'Cause I've got my own way, I can find my own way, 'cause I've got my own way

Yeah, defence, check 20
Yeah bitch, listen, yeah, this is how I like it
Teenage floats on top
Yeah, settle down
Yes, go on, right over it we go
Shot down when we take the bullets and roll back down
He ain't got promises 'round that sound

Hey you, where'd ya got it?
I did not get it man
You're in it, lets do, let's do it, I'm ready to go

God, those boys were/are talented...last organic band to use technology before tech took over talent.

[Daniey89]

this was definitely the best version!!

[rovostror1]

great quality!

[ailination]

Quality is timeless!

[theholychic]

Great find! thanks.. I only appreciated this song later in my 20's, nearly 20 years ago. Never understood why it didnt' get radio time back in the 80s. Well....I was not yet 9 so perhaps I missed the boat on this paticular one! Awesome no less..

@beb2459 perfectly articulated-I was thinking the same thing

[flatcapman]

I really could imagine singing this with Laurance R Harvey while riding his centipede. 

[maitebcn1984]

Very nice song¡

@theking0fnowhere

it seems the drums and synths stand out more in this youtube 'version', not sure what to make of it

[theking0fnowhere]

There is something about this particular YouTube video... maybe the fact that it's slightly lower quality, but it sounds so weird and amazing. This song just sounds better and better with each listen.

[SKOTP69]

Both versions are Brilliant!!!

I preferred them to Spandau. Who were good but I thought those guys were a bit too suave. These guys had a lot more color to their sound. I mean just listen to this. It takes you places. I later got into the Sex Pistols :)
