"A Bond theme for Blue Friday?" I hear you ask. Well, yes. Partly to address the lack of Shirley Manson on this blog over the years but also, just take a butcher's at some of these lyrics:
I know how to hurt. I know how to heal.
I know what to show and what to conceal.
I know when to talk, and I know when to touch.
No one ever died from wanting too much.
[...]
People like us know how to survive.
There's no point in living if you can't feel alive.
We know when to kiss and we know when to kill.
If we can't have it all then nobody will.
[...]
I feel sick, I feel scared, I feel ready and yet unprepared.
The world is not enough but it is such a perfect place to start, my love,
And if you're strong enough, together we can take the world apart, my love...
Anyway, enough talk. Here's Shirley and co indulging all their Bond fantasies in a video that unkinder critics might describe as better than the film it accompanied... even if the idea of an exploding fembot is straight out of Austin Powers.
Yes, superb song and video (I get the feeling that actually seeing the Bond film might spoil it!)
ReplyDeleteWorse effort of the Brosnan years, in my view.
