Kicking, punching, stomping, all the while taunting him "What's happening? Been away 10 fuckin years!" "You need a red light?", Mr.X "Morty! He's had enough" "I'LL say when he's fuckin had enough!", "But let's forget about all of that, let's have a cuppa tea instead." as he pours a pot of steaming tea on Freddy's broken body. Morty takes all his rage out on hapless loser Freddy. Morty, stone-faced (but you know inside he's seething, roaring) complies, peeling off pound notes "Ten's.a ", then, explosion! It is an epic assault, the song fuzzes in and out, the camera goes in and out of focus, sometimes wide shot, sometimes POV. A chance meeting in a café, down on his luck Freddy hits Morty up for a meal, then a loan. The same wind will take care of you and I. Birds fly high in the summer sky and rest on the breeze. And we cant reach any higher, If we cant deal with ordinary love. The sea throws rock together but time leaves us polished stones.
Yes, Morty, in a towering rage, absolutely taking apart fat-ass Freddy as payback for Freddy getting Morty pinched and sent to gaol. I cant fight you any more, its you Im fighting for. G Gone away G Dm7(or Dm) But I won't cry for yesterday Bb there's an ordinary world F/A C somehow I have to find G Dm7(or Dm) And as I try to make my way Bb to the ordinary world F/A C I will learn to survive (Guitar Solo) G-Dm7(or Dm)-Bb-F/A-C G-Dm7(or Dm)-Bb-F/A-Ab/Bb (Same pattern for the rest of the song) Papers in the roadside tell.
This song, however is the soundtrack to one of the best "beat downs" in all movie-dom.

It also later featured in the soundtrack for the 2004 movie Layer Cake, starring Daniel Craig.The song is OK, I prefer their earlier stuff. Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue Thought I heard you talking softly. It is a staple of the band’s live set, and Le Bon even performed it with the late Luciano Pavarotti, with a unique Italian lyric, at a charity concert for War Child. The song has continued to enjoy a strong afterlife. The promo also enjoyed strong airplay on the dominant music-video channels, creating greater momentum in smaller markets across the globe. Ordinary World’s video, directed by the wider album project’s creative lead, Nick Egan, saw the now four-piece (drummer Roger Taylor remained on lengthy hiatus, leaving just Le Bon, Cuccurullo, keyboardist Nick Rhodes and bassist John Taylor on board) filmed in a studio and on location at Huntingdon Gardens, in San Marino, California. Duran Duran were back, match-fit and ready to enjoy their most successful year in more than half a decade. Ahead of that, Ordinary World, which had been given official release on 19 December 1992, peaked at No.3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No.6 in the UK.
Momentum built and the growing success saw Duran Duran’s self-titled album rise to priority scheduling. Ordinary World was allegedly leaked (or cleverly marketed) by the band’s stateside label, and a radio station in Florida seized on the recording in a big way, putting it on heavy rotation from the get-go. His masterful guitar riff anchored the song somewhere between all-out pop and the melodic rock direction the group followed across the other 12 tracks that would make up their new album, which also included the big hit Come Undone.Īs in all good stories, there’s a twist. Guitarist Warren Cuccurullo, who had been drafted in to replace Andy Taylor in 1986 and been elevated to a principal player for Duran Duran’s predecessor, Liberty, played a critical part in the song’s construction. Ordinary World emerged relatively early in sessions for the album, and its razor-sharp melodic hook gave the band confidence that they were on the right track. Le Bon’s assured vocal is among his best, and the track, picked as the obvious first single from the 1993 album billed Duran Duran (but largely referred to as “The Wedding Album”), was an immediate hit with critics. It’s one of those everyman songs with lyrics that anyone can identify with: the acknowledgement of what has been lost paired with a fragile confidence in the ability to step forward. Ordinary World was written by lead singer Simon Le Bon about his late friend David Miles and struck a chord with some of the political angst of that era. With dance and grunge music at the apex of cultural and commercial momentum, there seemed little space for a band now a decade into a career that had seen them transform from new-wave pioneers to New Romantic titans and then, latterly, musical magpies, rifling through different genres as they pleased. Duran Duran’s beloved ballad Ordinary World came at a critical crossroads for the group, as the fragmentation of the music scene at the end of the 80s and early 90s witnessed a brutal disregard for much that had gone before.
