Duran Duran - Box Full O' Honey Lyrics






Box full o' honey
At the sharp end of the view
The edge of me and you
And all good sense had tread no further
And as the ghost will shiver trees
How I'm trembling on my knees
But I'm still drawn on by the murmur

Are you laughing at me now
In my circumstance
When still I wear I your crown
My life's penitence
And for what
What's so funny
A box full o honey

What I thought a pretty tune
Was howling at the moon
To keep me company this evening
It's so lonely in the dirt
A scratching at the hurt
But I so generously did leave you

Are you laughing at me now
In my circumstance
When still I wear I your crown
Some cruel penitence
for what
What's so funny
Box full o honey

Is she flirting with me now
Ohh
Is she dallying with me now
Ohh
ohhh
Are you flirting with me now
You'll always be my queen of tumble down
Miss melancholy

Are you laughing at me now
In my circumstance
When still I wear I your crown
And my life's a penitence
And for what
What's so funny
Ain't it funny
A box full o honey

  1. r.... s....

    What's this song about ? Can anyone help. After the real meaning to them for written the song

  2. R.... ....

    Melodically and lyrically one of their finest..wish this had been their lead single..woefully underrated album

  3. R.... H....

    Is she flirting with me now?

  4. P.... G....

    So nostalgic; it reminds me of being 5 to 9 years old. The sunsets and evenings of the days of those years

  5. a.... ....

    A fantastic tune but two references : dallying - sexual encounter .... ???? , but a great word and (queen of) tumble down ref to the Argentina- UK war in ther 80's ??....... maybe someone could enlighten me to the meaning ..... or is that too deep😜

    a.... ....

    ashy_2002 dallying is more like the phrase “Dilly Dally” like to mess with or just, in this case leading on...
    Example “Don’t dilly dally, let’s get moving”
    So I think he’s saying is she just playing with him

  6. M.... A....
