A View to a Kill Lyrics
Meeting you
With a view to a kill
Face to face in secret places
Feel the chill
Nightfall covers me
But you know the plans I'm making
Still oversea
Could it be the whole world opening wide?
A sacred why
A mystery gaping inside
The weekends, why
Until we
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
Choice for you
Is the view to a kill
Between the shades
Assassination standing still
The first crystal tears, fall
As snowflakes on your body
First time in years
To drench your skin
With lover's rosy stain
A chance to find the phoenix for the flame
A chance to die
But can we
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
When all we see
Is the view to a kill
This song always makes me think of the cold. Like stepping out on a January morning and the 15 degree air punches you in the face cold.
This is the Best James Bond Theme song Ever
I like the songs by Garbage, Tina Turner, Nancy Sinatra, Shirley Bassey (x2), and hell, even the one by Rita Coolidge (All Time High from Octopussy). The problem is, what metric are we going by when we define the best Bond song? The one that exemplifies what Bond was about? Or the best song period? No one can even agree on which Bond was better -- the goofy/campy Moore, serious Dalton, neutered Brosnan, or classic Connery. No need to bust on any particular song. Let's just talk about each song in its own context.
It's energetic, with classic Bond brass stabs (though synth-generated). What a contrast to the previous Coolidge song, which was a light music snorefest (although it did match its own movie)! Bassline and thumping percussion help move it along. I agree with Kez, it's 80's New Romantic, with overtones of secret agents. A perfect fit to the movie. Come on, it had Walken in it! AND Grace Jones.
This is the best Bond theme I've heard. Though I also liked Goldeneye.
I read somewhere that the lead singer referred to this song as something along the lines of "fatal attraction", to use the cliche, not in regards to the movie.
The ULTIMATE Bond theme!
Nothing beats "For Your Eyes Only" as the best James Bond song (IMO). It captured the essence of Greece, featured prominently in the movie. Amazing song.
I disagree with you Maddog. I think 'Live and Let Die' is better. But you are entitled to your opinion.
i agree with ferthuko, this song is not half as good as live and let die or the world is not enough by garbage
hey, guive the guys a chance....it was the 80s....new romantic period....come on....maddog, i'm with you
the living daylights is the second best Bond song ever, closely behind LALD
