If there was a dog(fight)...
Plus I can understand all of the lyrics! What's that bit in If There Was A Man where she sings "I'd put all my fantasies and hopes of love behind me, so mamoments oohbaddoo mat" ? :D
I'd dream about a dream come true.
If there was a man I could ever love,
I'd wait a million years for someone just like you.
All my life I've been belated.
Never taking any chances...always hesitating.
Where's the payoff? Where's the glory?
Where's the one I'm holding out for?
Was he walking through the door,
The one that you walked through...if it isn`t you?
If there was a man I could dream of,
I'd dream about a dream come true.
If there was a man I could ever love,
I'd wait a million years for someone just like you.
Happy endings never find me!
I'd put all my fantasies and hopes of love behind me.
All my moments overdue but...
If there was a man out there for me
I wish it would be someone who could love me true
If someone was you.
I agree some of the words get muddled! :) To be fair here are the lyrics for Surrender
Your life is a story
I've already written
The news is that I am in control
And I have the power
To make you surrender
Not only your body but your soul
Tomorrow never dies, surrender
Tomorrow will arrive on time
I'll tease and tantalize with every line
Till you are mine
Tomorrow never dies
Whatever you're after
Trust me, I'll deliver
You'll relish the world that I create
Tomorrow never dies, surrender
Tomorrow will arrive on time
I'll tease and tantalize with every line
Till you are mine
Tomorrow never dies
The truth is now what I say
I've taken care of yesterday
Tomorrow never dies, surrender
Tomorrow will arrive on time
I'll tease and tantalize with every line
Till you are mine
Tomorrow never dies
Tomorrow never dies
Tomorrow never dies
Rock & roll lyrics are SUPPOSED to be occasionally unintelligible. That way they can be whatever you want them to. Are they dirty? Maybe. Why don't you buy the record & listen to it over & over again to find out? "A fine little girl, she waits for me... I sail the ship ah-cross the sea... On the ship I dream she's there... I smell the rose tied in her hair... Ah Louie, Lou-ay, oh baby now, me gotta go. Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi..."
Most Bond songs could easily fit in a Bond spoof.
Regardless, I would rather have a Bond/Barry pastiche than a mediocre Eurovision Song Contest pastiche which ITWAM is...
My vote will always be with Surrender on this one.
Probably why I don’t like any that attempt to replicate the 60s sound past its original decade. I get that Arnold is a big fanboy of that old sound, I just don’t think it has any place for Bond anymore. “Surrender” was rightfully rejected by EON. Even though I’m not a fan of the Sheryl Crow song, it at least sounds like a proper song of its time rather than trying to be a throwback.
Wasn't it pretty much solely rejected because K.D. Lang wasn't well known, rather than anything to do with the style and sound of the song?
Fair enough, though - if it's not to your taste, it's not to your taste. I think it's pretty rousing and exciting and Lang's performance is pretty good.
I'm a big fan of both songs in this sudden death round, I'll be quite happy with whichever wins!
Sure, but after thirty years you'd think I'd have had an inkling by now! :)
'Overdoomed'? That's not even a word, Gerard! :D
Yeah I do agree completely: it's like a joke Bond song and feels creatively moribund, the real ones are rarely so on the nose. But it is fun to listen to.
Crow's TND is an actual original song so I find it a bit more creatively worthwhile.
