Tina Turner - Goldeneye

Well,this is the James Bond theme for the movie "Goldeneye",starring Pierce Brosnan and this is his first James Bond outing.Personally,this is my favourite Pierce Brosnan's James Bond movie and a wonderful theme song to go with it.

Tina Turner as the singer,who could have imagined!Initially there was a song used for this movie but was pulled of and replaced with this song. Compared to the earlier song from Ace of Base(with the same song title)this song sounds more "James Bondish"but AoB's song is more linked to the movie.Music format is a little weird as the chorus ahs more words than the verse which is uncommon in many songs.

Here's the music:

Here's the lyrics:


Verse 1:
See reflections on the water
More than darkness in the depths
See him surface and never a shadow
On the wind I feel his breath

Chorus 1:
Goldeneye, I found his weakness
Goldeneye, he'll do what I please
Goldeneye, no time for sweetness
But a bitter kiss will bring him to his knees

You'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child
You'll never know how it feels to be the one who's left behind
You'll never know the days and the nights, the tears, the tears Ive cried
But now my time has come and time, time is not on your side

Verse 2:
See him move through smoke and mirrors
Feel his presence in the crowd
Other girls they gather around him
If I had him I wouldnt let him out

Chorus 2:
Goldeneye, not lace or leather
Golden chains take him to the spot
Goldeneye, I'll show him forever
It will take forever to see what Ive got

You'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child
You'll never know how it feels to get so close and be denied
It's a gold and honey trap Ive got for you tonight
Revenge is a kiss this time I won't miss
Now I've got you in my sight

With a goldeneye
Golden, goldeneye
With a goldeneye, goldeneye....
