Biography

During a short hiatus in late 1984 and early 1985, three Duran Duran members -- lead singer Simon LeBon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, and drummer Roger Taylor -- formed Arcadia, a short-lived splinter group which offered an artier version of Duran Duran's new wave pop. Arcadia released their only album, So Red The Rose, in 1985, just after Duran Duran's popularity reached a peak. Consequently, the album became a hit based on name recognition alone, as did the single "Election Day," which sailed into the American and British Top Ten. After their brief moment of success, the members of Arcadia re-formed Duran Duran without guitarist Andy Taylor. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

    Lyrics
    Wild kind of look to the day
    Opening eyes impale neon flickers
    She moon she turning away
    The city's her slave but he's cheating his mistress
    She's moody and gray

    Lyrics
    Whose tears on a gaping voice
    Who's stretching arms match the hunger of mine
    These lips will they never join
    Always draw me closer and further entwined
    With a promise dealer understand, all freedoms fade away

    Lyrics
    Sometimes you have no choice
    Sometimes you've got no voice to say
    Say if you will the words
    Say if your world is so gray
    We can decide this

    Lyrics
    When the evening sunlight's fingers stretch across the floor
    Cover up your eyes with feathers softly close the door
    Take me in your heavy lips take me where the shadows slide
    I'm with your blind full secrets I'll be fast and loose
    The lacey intrigue of this weekend should not be abused
