Duran Duran - Friends Of Mine - Live is Live Festival 2022

Live is Live Festival, Zeebrugge, Belgium - 2022-06-19: This was a party for me, 36 years after my first ever "rock" concert it was my 5th Duran concert (1986, 1988, 1993, 2008, 2022). And this show was quite a good one. Over these past years, whenever I thought which non-single songs I would want in a Duran concert, "Friends Of Mine" was always on the list, as was the "Hold Back The Rain" that they also played. Others would be "Of Crime And Passion", "American Science", "Careless Memories", "Shadows On Your Side", "New Religion", "The Seventh Stranger", "The Edge of America", "My Antartica", "Liberty".

Playlist today was: Intro/Velvet Newton, The Wild Boys, Invisible, All of You, A View to a Kill, Notorious, Union of the Snake, Come Undone, The Reflex, Friends of Mine, Give It All Up, Ordinary World, Tonight United, Planet Earth, Hold Back the Rain, Hungry Like the Wolf, Girls on Film / Acceptable in the 80's; Encore: The Chauffeur, Save a Prayer, Rio. Lyrics:

Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
Said they were passing time
More like a waste of time

Close the door
I said close the door
I've told you twice before
What are you waiting for

Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroes we twist and shout
Oh no not me I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not taking anymore
Rocky Picture has lost his gun
Leave him out now he's having fun
Oh no not me I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not waiting any more (hey hey)

Silly lies, don't have to advertise
When will you realize, I'm sick of you alibis

Running cold, the water's running cold
It's time that you were told
I think you're growing old

Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroes we twist and shout
Oh no not me I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not waiting anymore
Rocky Picture has lost his gun
Leave him out now he's having fun
Oh no not me I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not taking any more (hey hey)

Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
They were just wasting time
Out on the dotted line

Oh, money's gone, I've known it all along
Why don't you say I'm wrong
Why don't they drop the bomb
'Cause Georgie Davies is coming out
No more heroes we twist and shout
Oh no, not me I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not waiting anymore
Rocky Picture has thrown away his gun
Leave him out now he's having fun
Oh no not me I'm not too late
And I know that I'm not taking any more

What you doing friends of mine
Holding back now friends of mine
I've always heard you calling
