The Living Daylights Lyrics

Cover art for The Living Daylights lyrics by A-Ha

A homage to Maryam D'Abo. Should we reduce her to her fake hair color? "Save the darkness, let it never fade away..." and "Seems your hopes are way too high, living's in the way we dye." I guess they would have called the song "The bleached highlights" if the emberassing joke wouldn't come so subtle: going blind, you know from what?! In German, we would say: "Das Licht ausknipsen." Hundredthousand chord changes and still nothing is new here. James Bond movies are actually black comedies because of the impact they have on minors and juveniles. In their attempt to be like James Bond, they in fact only behave like complete fools.
