I never paid much mind to Ordinary World by Duran Duran. I had heard it a hundred times or so. It was a fairly popular song in its day. And despite being a Duran Duran fan, I really didn't care all that much about that song.
It wasn't until I saw Layer Cake and heard Ordinary World set to a vicious beating scene that I really found the beauty. The song is about or sounds like loss. And then the character, Morty, exacts a brutal and accidental revenge for the loss of ten years behind bars. It all takes place in an ordinary diner and finishes with a nice cup (pot) of tea. Brilliant.
