Song of the day: Duran Duran - Planet Earth (live)



Today's song of the day is Duran Duran's Planet Earth. This is from their upcoming live album, A Diamond in The Mind which officially comes out in the US next week. The drum and bass is especially hard hitting and catchy. This song was originally released on their self-titled debut album, Duran Duran in 1981. It went all the day to #12 on the UK Singles charts that same year. Long a fan favorite, it continues to be one of their most popular, most requested songs. Here is the live video:

lyrics:

Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the tv sound
You'll see I'm right some other time

Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet earth, you're looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/duran+duran/planet+earth_20043595.html ]
My head is stuck on something precious
Let me know if you're coming down to land
Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I can't see you

Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet earth, you're looking at planet earth

Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
This is planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
Calling planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
Looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
This is planet earth
