ANNIVERSARY LYRICS

Come celebrate this union
Come holy and unchained
How do you know, stay or go
Keep riding on the train

What does it take beneath the skin
To keep from letting go?
Some moments burned into the storm
And some you’ll never know

All our days
Anniversary
Celebrate
Anniversary

Across the world
On radio for anyone to hear
We are the song, so bring it on
Once more be close and clear

All our days
Anniversary
Celebrate
Anniversary
It’s our time
Anniversary
Yours and mine
Anniversary

Celebrate with silver, oak, and bone
Celebrate with paper, gold, and stone
It may not seem like much
It may not seem like much at all
It may not seem like much
But it’s everything to us

All our days
Anniversary
Celebrate
Anniversary
All our days
Anniversary
Celebrate
Anniversary

It’s our time
Anniversary
Yours and mine
Anniversary

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
I don’t know, I don’t know
Oh, are we still holding on?
And our love can’t stop, can’t stop
And our love, can’t stop, you know
Holding on, holding on
Holding on and on and on
And on and on, yeah
And on, yeah
La, la, la, da, da
La, la, la, la, la, la

What Does Duran Duran Have To Say About Anniversary

John Taylor

“‘ANNIVERSARY’ is a special song for us. Obviously we were conscious of our own impending 40th anniversary of making music together, but we wanted the song’s meaning to be inclusive in the broadest possible way. After playing and working together for so long, we very much appreciate what ‘being together’ and ’staying together’ can really mean. It’s not something we would have thought song-worthy 40 years ago, but we do today! It was also fun to build a track with hints of previous Duran hits, they’re like Easter eggs, for the fans to find.”.”– Courtesy Complex Magazine

“With this one we decided that after four decades, we could actually look back a little — particularly with Anniversary, which is celebrating our time together. We reference lots of things, most notably Wild Boys.” – Nick Rhodes
