Letra de
Ordinary World

La canción Ordinary World fue creada tras experiencias personales de pérdida y cambio dentro de Duran Duran. La letra reflexiona sobre encontrar paz y normalidad después de un período turbulento. Marcó un regreso significativo al éxito para la banda en los 90.

Came in from a rainy thursday
on the avenue
thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the tv
and the radio
still I can't escape the ghost of you

What is happened to it all?
Crazy, some say
Where is the life that I recognize?
gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now
pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my
heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive


Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh
Here besides the news of
holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed
talk

And I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
