    Number one public figure what a pain just puts another rattle in your brain 
    Take another green but it's not the same 
    So now you're on the sandlane everyday dancing with the bulls in any old way 
                                                                   #VIIalt

Back to Chorus (fade) 

Transitions 

Verse to Chorus 
	Chords: G#5 to Em 
Harmonic Function: #VIIalt in A Minor to i in E Minor 
Interval: up 8 semitones / down 4 semitones 
Notes 
The chords C/G and G#5 are more or less chromatic, so this transition could also be considered a C (III in A Minor) to Em (i in E Minor) transition. 
Chorus to Verse 
	Chords: D to Am 
	Harmonic Function: VII in E Minor to i in A Minor 
	Interval: up 7 semitones / down 5 semitones 
Chorus to Bridge 1 
	Chords: D to Em 
	Harmonic Function: VII in E Minor to i in E Minor 
	Interval: up 2 semitones / down 10 semitones 
	Notes 
Bridge 1 does not bring about a new key whatsoever…it’s more of a different way of ending the Chorus, pausing, and then going back into it. 
Bridge 1 to Bridge 2 
	Chords: D to Am 
	Harmonic Function: VII in E Minor to i in A Minor 
	Interval: up 7 semitones / down 5 semitones 
	Notes 
Bridge 2 is simply a transposed version of Bridge 1.  Thankfully for Duran Duran, it transitions perfectly back into the Chorus. 
Bridge 2 to Chorus 
	Chords: G to Em 
	Harmonic Function: VII in A minor to i in E Minor 
	Interval: up 9 semitones / down 3 semitones
