This is a first song from the Arcadia - side project of Duran Duran members -
Simon le Bonn, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor. It's pretty simple and classical for
new-wawe style :)
Before playing it in bass, you should put tune down on 1 step: DGDF
Intro tab (actually it plays on keyboards, but I adapted it for guitar):

Coplet 1:
[D]Wild kind of look to the d[C]ay
[A]Opening eyes imp[G]ale neon flickers
[D]She moon she turning awa[C]y
The [A]city's her slave but he's [G]cheating his mistress
[D] [C]
She's [A]moody and gray
She's [G]mean and she's so restless (so restless)
Couplet 2:
[D]All over you as they s[C]ay
[A]Rumours or rivals yell [G]at the strike force
[D]Hi guys, by the wa[C]y
[A]Are you aware you're b[G]eing illegal
[D] [C]
It's [A]making your saviour beh[G]aviour look evil
Chorus:
[Bm] Maximum [G]big surprise
Your s[Bm]mile is something new[E]
End of the chorus:
[D]I pull my shirt off and pr[C]ay
[A]We're sacred and bound
To [G]suffer the heatwave
[D]Pull off my shirt and pr[C]ay
We're [A]coming up on [G]re-election day
Couplet 3:
S[D]tretching my luck down the w[C]ay
To [A]your invitation st[G]retching my body
[D]Use your intuitive pla[C]y
[A]'cause maybe we have more p[G]lay time than money
Chorus:
[Bm] Maximum [G]big surprise
She [Bm]knows something new[E]
End of the chorus:
[D]I pull my shirt off and pr[C]ay
I'm [A]saving myself
To [G]suffer the heatwave
[D]Pull off my shirt and pr[C]ay
We're [A]coming up on [G]re-election day
Insrumental "talking" part:
[Bm] By roads and backways[G]
A l[A]over's chance downwind[G]
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] Shouldn't be a[C]sking
[A] Wild.[G]....[D]..and scheming[C]
Could be my[A] election day [G]
Chorus:
[Bm] Maximum [G]big surprise
Your [Bm]smile is something new[E]
Couplet 4:
[D]I pull my shirt off and pr[C]ay
We're [A]sacred and bound
To [G]suffer the heatwave
[D]Pull off my shirt and pr[C]ay
We're [A]coming up on [G]re-election day
(plays till the end):
[D] [C] [A]
[G]Re-election day
