This turned out to be the elephant's mating call, leading the elephant carrying Roger Taylor to charge downhill in order to mount the female. The latter pair had zero time after completing the record to change clothes before catching their flight, and Rhodes had to wear the same leather jacket and trousers he had been wearing in the cold of London.ĭuring the filming of the scene where the band were riding elephants, a female elephant made a bizarre sound. Simon Le Bon and Roger and John Taylor travelled to the location, while Andy Taylor and Nick Rhodes stayed in London finishing mixes for the Rio album.

Don't say a prayer for me now Save it 'til the morning after No, don't say a prayer for me now Save it 'til the morning after Feel the breeze deep on the inside, Look you down into your well, If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire, Take a chance, Like all dreamers can't find another way, You don't have to dream it all, just live a day Don't say a prayer for me now Save it 'til the morning after No, don't say a prayer for me now Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise Melt the ice And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance But fear is in your soul Some people call it a one night stand But we can call it paradise Don't say a prayer for me now Save it 'til the morning after No, don't say a prayer for me now Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save a prayer 'til the morning after Save a prayer 'til the morning after Save a prayer 'til the morning after Save a prayer 'til the morning after Save a prayer 'til the morning after.The video was directed by Russell Mulcahy - who also directed classic '80s videos for Elton John, Spandau Ballet and many others. All alone ain't much fun, So you're looking for the thrill, And you know just what it takes and where to go. You saw me standing by the wall, Corner of a main street, And the lights are flashing on your window sill.
