Lyrics:
You've gone too far this time
And I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the danger line
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Another day
To make my stand, oh oh
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand, oh oh
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is a lonely child
Who's waiting by the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
I'm on a ride and I want to get off
But they won't slow down the round-about
I sold the radio and TV set
Don't want to be around when this gets out
So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is a lonely child
Who's waiting in the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't loose it
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is a lonely child
Who's waiting by the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
Oh the reflex what a game
He's hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does

[@angusmeigh5141]

@@imogenjennings3992 I lived through the 1980s as I was born in September 1966 and it was really great time for music. At least up until early 1988. Because in 1988 the boy band era started with groups like Bros and New kids on the block and rap, hip hop and rave/acid house dominated the charts. But between 1980 and the end of 1987 the music really rocked!

[@TAALIBHOSSANDORFF-vu6eu]

"Purple Rain" by Prince and the Revolution spent 24 consecutive weeks at Number One. "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" spent TWO weeks at Number One, in America according to Billboard 100 in 1984. "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" went double platinum while "Purple Rain" sold more than 17 million. WHAM's "Make It Big" sold six times platinum, also released in 1984. I don't think Duran Duran dominated 1984 by a long shot. A great year nonetheless.

The very first time I heard or saw Duran Duran was with this video, when it first aired on MTV. I was in fifth grade and visiting a friend, and I had kind of an awakening. I grew up not being allowed to listen to secular music, so I'd never heard anything quite like this. The music was WOW, and they were the most beautiful people I'd ever seen at that point in time. I've been a fan ever since. I recently came across my old Notorious CD and have spent the last several days listening to and watching everything I can find online. Such good memories, such great music. Thanks.

I waited for this video to be played on MTV and I'd have my VHS tape ready in the machine to record it. Then, once I got it, my friends and I would watch it over and over. Duran Duran's music just brought JOY. Look at how much fun we had and I think for guy in their early to mid 20s, they looked so grown and in command of the stage.

Same here! I paid a neighbor to record all Duran Duran videos that came up on tv as our family didn’t own a VCR, ha!!!

Miss the days when we didn't have the internet. You had to squirm in anticipation of buying a concert ticket, and enjoying the concert without hooligans shooting it up. The internet has ruined certain sacred things IMO, but is good at certain others - so a love / hate relationship.

[@mandrdavidson7263]

If I could relive one year in my life it would be 1984. Such a magical time with the best year of music ever. Classic after classic was born that year.

[@ebonyivory2023]

Interesting...George Orwell had bad premonitions about 1984. Police state and all. Turned out the opposite. And, Berlin wall fell amd communist Russia dissolved in 89. The police state came later, in the mid 90s but especially after 9-11.

[@robsimmons6742]

DUDEEEE! 1984 was TOTALLY my year. So many firsts: first full year away from him, first gf I was truly mad for, first car, first real job (USCG). And saw a bunch of concerts (but not DD). It was pretty fricking epic. It’s funny, I’m a metal and hard rock guy but I totally dig DD too. Go figure.

[@mcclane8812]

I'm a metalhead for most of my life but I will forever love 80s music that I grew up on. I was showing my 9 year old daughter this at breakfast and explaining just how big of a band DD was and that before KZbin, you sat and waited with a tape recorder by the radio for the song to come on or in front of the TV just waiting for the videos. It almost seems unfathomable how we did it because we live in such an instant gratification society but I think that it taught us discipline and appreciation for things for sure. I remember it like it was yesterday. These guys are actually an incredibly talented band too. John Taylor is a sick bassist.

[@mcclane8812]

@Cj Johnson yes!

[@alexbaum2204]

Me too man. Metal and hip hop. But if it’s got a good bassline, I’m in. And these guys and others from this decade had that in droves. I also totally agree with what you said about instant gratification. I remember there was some George Michael video in the very early 90’s. Tyra Banks was in it, walking down a catwalk runway, nipple tassels on. We thought she was the hottest thing on the planet. So we sat around for like another 5 hours until the video came on again. We were like 10. 🤣 Lots of crap music in that span of time. But because of that day, I ended up going out and buying Check Your Head with my allowance money.

[@KeremcanBuyuktaskin]

I'm also a metalhead, probably because of DD. Before, I couldn't recognize different instruments in a song. I learned to differentiate by listening to a lot of DD, and especially discovering the bass was like a revelation. And the next step was metal naturally, as my ears were trained for it thanks to DD. Also I became a bassist later on thanks to John Taylor, and still to this day his bass lines amaze me.

[@CyanideChrist1-uf2du]

I'm a metal listener too and I love Duran Duran as well.

[@aussieboy77]

Metal fan here also but can't help but appreciate the talent these guys had. John Taylor's bass work is excellent.

I recall first time we heard this song, saw the video and enjoyed this sound of music. Great and so amazing. We were fans and still are. I was a teen in the 80s and then young adult. I was in high school and skipped last period so that we can drive out in the snow storm and see those guys in the concert and it was well worth it. Great concert. We were afraid that we will not make it, since it was terrible snow storm, but then realized that Duran Duran guys were delayed even more than the rest, so after a bit of hanging out and meeting some fun people in the audience, we got to see the delayed show. Amazing, loved the 80s and all the great memories that go with it.

39butchy1 I remember going to see Duran Duran 1984 in Leeds with sissy and Katherine. I had posters all over my wall - loved Simon Le Bon and John Taylor but my sister used to push me out the way and demanded I liked Simon and not John..... because she liked John Taylor and Roger lol 😂

[@39butchy1]

Hey, Meadowlands Girl I bet our rooms looked exactly alike. Wall to wall Duran Duran. There wasn't a spot left and considered doing the ceiling. It was the only room left. I would have LOVED to have seen that '84 concert. Unfortunately, I just started getting into them at that time. That just goes to show us the power of MTV and videos. Seeing The Reflex and being absolutely mesmerized (no joke). It was full steam ahead and Duran Duran became my life. I always thought Nick was cool and did my best to emulate him. Clothes, hair, the works. Minus the makeup. I tried it once and thought, nah. He does it much better than I ever could. Thanks for your comment. 😁 Duran Duran forever!

[@jpsb3165]

After all these years, a masterpiece of pop songwriting such as this one never gets old! All 5 of them were really on top of their game here! Killer grooves between John's popping bass lines and Roger's ever steady beat. Cutting edge synth pads & those 'steel drum' samples from Nick and his Fairlight, killer cut and thrust power chords and rhythmically tight pluckings from Andy's guitars, topped off by a seemingly impossible melody ( ... And lyrics!) from Simon.... And here it is. My fav Duran Duran song ( together with Ordinary World!)... ever! And I was hooked in 1984. And thankfully so too! Happy Anniversary Duran Duran! Thank you for always being there!

This song and video killed DD's male audience. I was 16 when this song came out and had been a fan since the Planet Earth album. This song was so gross to me at the time because it looked like a sell out and turning the band into a boy band. Bad career move for them ultimately. Little pre-teen girls loved it but the guys thought, bye see you later. It made them very uncool to all of my male friends at the time.
