Ordinary World

Duran Duran grupo inglés responsable de personificar el movimiento del New Wave entre la audiencia. Su reputación fue armada a base de sus video clips, en los cuales mostraban su estilo glamour y fashion. Fueron la banda con más éxito comercial del movimiento denominado New Romantic, así como una banda líder en la Segunda Invasión Británica de los Estados Unidos, conducida por la MTV. Son todavía identificados a veces como una banda con aires de la década de 1980 a pesar de seguir grabando veinte años después. The Wedding Album frenó la decadencia en la que se había estancado el grupo de Birmingham poco antes entrar en la década de los 90, dándoles un respiro para una posterior recaída con Thank You (1995).

“Ordinary world” es uno de los singles más significativos de ese trabajo que data del año 1993 y que utilizo para quitarle las telarañas a la categoría Nostalgia, que tengo abandonada desde hace más de un mes.

ORDINARY WORLD (THE WEDDING ALBUM)
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 but still I can't escape the ghost of you
What is happening to me crazy some would say
Where is the life that I recognize, gone away

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

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 runaway
Left me in the vaccuum of my heart
What is happening to me crazy some will 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 grief
Fear today forgot tomorrow beside the news of holy war and holy need
Our's is just a little sorrowed talk, just blown away

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
Every world is my world (I will learn to survive)
Any world is my world (I will learn to survive)
Any world is my world, every world is our world, every world.
