    Lyrics:
    Another constellation dies
    Do what you want 'cause it's your own sky
    Just call me when the phone stops ringing
    Thanks for coming by
    I'm just glad I'm on your good side
    Where it's smoldering or freezing
    It's never all that easy to decide
    This is the land of a thousand words
    But it seems so few are worth the breath to say
    Except I'll be looking after my own world
    And you just keep on saving the day
    I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far
    I'm on the run to wherever you are
    And that's the nature of the chase
    You fall so far behind you end in first place
    Pass the torch this time we're running to each's own regret
    There'sno harm in playing hard to get
    Boundlessness deceives me
    Baby you may turn the corner yet
    This is the land of a thousand words
    But it seems so few are worth the breath to say
    Except I'll be looking after my own world
    And you just keep on saving the day
    I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far
    I'm on the run to wherever you are
    I'm on the run to wherever you are
    (I'm a gonna do everything I say
    Tried to stay but time's running out
    But now I'm on my way)
    To wherever you are
    (I'm a gonna do everything I say
    Tried to stay but time's running out
    But now I'm on my way)
    To wherever you are
    (I'm a gonna do everything I say
    Tried to stay but time's running out
    But now I'm on my way)
    To wherever you are
    To wherever you are
    (I'm a gonna do everything I say
    Tried to stay but time's running out
    But now I'm on my way)

    • @timothyw98
      @timothyw98 7 років тому +6

      2terryh Funny it came out the same year as Casino Royale, I thought it was the ost at first because the song is classic 007 down to a T, I do think though Chris Cornell's song you know my name was a pretty awesome way to get the show going with a bang.

  • @jacquesjunk
    @jacquesjunk 14 років тому +25

    I apologize for saying this, but I'd never heard of them until today when I stumbled on them on youtube; a lot of their content is blocked where I am for some idiotic reason, so that might be why (plus my age). I find them really entertaining and reminiscent of what we listened to in the late 70's--and again this vocal is very Elton John. Great music. VERY Bond, lol.

      "Except I'll be looking after my own world"
      This is the correction needed.

  • @Plunderkind
    @Plunderkind 10 місяців тому +1

    Not only does the Bond credits aesthetic fit the track perfectly-it could have been a Bond theme song-they also quite brilliantly, in the same few minutes, give a shoutout to allthose who've worked with/for them; video crews, management, etc.
    Reading that without having seen the video makes it sound like a boring disaster, but it was so well done, the proof is evident above.
    I saw them perform three times when I was living in Toronto in the Aughts.

    .... move me still today after all these years..
    A desperate, sad time was the 2006 when listened this song, for a falled love dream
    I do'nt feel like dancin was some month before represented the euphoria for a new love, this instead represents for ever baddest feeling in my life, when that love dream collapsed ... But this song sublimated that moment whe I was watching this video teardropping. Sweet, desperate, past moments...

      SteveRunciman you really believe they sell more cause he's openly gay? That is probably a main reason the Scissor Sisters aren't huge in the US. Also, his partner of 13 years would be pretty disappointed
