Biography:
Arcadia was the pop group formed in 1985 by Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor of Duran Duran, during a break in that band's schedule. However, Roger Taylor appeared in only a few band photographs and in none of the music videos, and stated he was only to be involved in the recording side of the project (he also had minor involvement in The Power Station, the other Duran Duran splinter group). The name of the band was reportedly inspired by the Nicolas Poussin painting Et in Arcadia ego (also known as "The Arcadian Shepherds").

Coplet 1:
D C
Wild kind of look to the day
A G
Opening eyes impale neon flickers
D C
She moon she turning away
A G
The city's her slave but he's cheating his mistress
D C
A
She's moody and gray
G
She's mean and she's so restless (so restless)
Couplet 2:
D C
All over you as they say
A G
Rumours or rivals yell at the strike force
D C
Hi guys, by the way
A G
Are you aware you're being illegal
D C
A G
It's making your saviour behaviour look evil
Chorus:
Bm G
Maximum big surprise
Bm E
Your smile is something new
End of the chorus:
D C
I pull my shirt off and pray

We're sacred and bound
G
To suffer the heatwave
D C
Pull off my shirt and pray
A G
We're coming up on re-election day

A G
We're coming up on re-election day
Insrumental "talking" part:
Bm G
By roads and backways
A G
A lover's chance downwind
Cut open murmurs and sounds
Becalm hands on the skin
Carry further oh...
Entangled strands all sing
Saving some time to slip away
We could die oh...
End of "talking" part:
D C
Shouldn't be asking
A G D C
Wild.......and scheming
A G
Could be my election day

Bm G
Maximum big surprise

Your smile is something new
