Just Like Lazenby Lyrics

It's a travesty
Where do I begin?
The ways in which I have behaved
I'm glad no one was keeping track of me

Like a tambourine
Driven by the beat
I forgot what time it was
I wish someone were looking out for me

Some of you may think that I regret some of my doings
I'd do it all again
If I had the chance just like Lazenby
Can I do it over?
Don't I get a second try
Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled just like Lazenby?

Like the swirling sun
I haven't burned out
It's better to etcetra I won't bore you with these things we tend to say
Like a fairy tale
With blood on every page
My failures brought about some blessings
Someone must be watching over me

Even though I wonder why I did some of my doings
I'd do it all again
If I had the chance just like Lazenby

Can I do it over?
Don't I get a second try
Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled just like Lazenby?

Just like Lazenby
Just like Lazenby
Burning every bridge
Endless opportunities I squandered on the way to this event
Just like Lazenby

Can I do it over?
Don't I get a second try
Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled
And reluctantly begged forgiveness
Just like Lazenby?

This song has to be about George Lazenby, the ONLY guy who played Bond only once. Never got a second try.... Where else have you ever heard the name Lazenby?

My Opinion
Cover art for Just Like Lazenby lyrics by Sondre Lerche

After starring in On Her Majesty's Secret Service George Lazenby turned down a multi-picture, multi-million dollar deal to keep playing James Bond. It was 1969 and Lazenby was convinced by his manager that Bond would no longer be relevant in the 1970s so he walked away from it all and lived out the rest of his life in relative obscurity (at least compared to the other actors who portrayed 007 and went on to prosperous careers afterwards). He also managed to piss off pretty much everyone he worked with on the film hence the lyrics:

"Burning every bridge. Endless opportunities I squandered on the way to this event. Just like Lazenby."

Weird sad story. Some people say his was the worst Bond movie. Others say it may have been the best. Only time will tell...
