SAVES THE DAY
(the James Bond - 007 song)
From England to Russia by Germany way
And down to Australia all in one day
How do you do it and still keep your cool
Living in danger, you break all the rules.
Here comes the girl
Plays the evil games
I can’t take it no more
Won’t you shoot her for me James
007 saves the day
007 makes it okay
From Sweden to Italy via the sky
Swimming the waters, climbing mountaintops high
Wristwatch explosives and fountain pen guns
Life seems exciting when you’re on the run.
Here comes the girl
Plays the evil games
I can’t take it no more
Won’t you shoot her for me James
007 saves the day
007 makes it okay
Making the women and shooting the men
Just when it’s over you start out again
Car chases, life races, swinging on vines
Seems every minute your life’s on the line.
Sitting here under these sunny skies
Watching my kids grow before my eyes
How could a guy like me be so old
I remember entering my teens
Running about in my faded jeans
Now the days pass, the years take their toll
My kids ask questions I can’t explain
I don’t go there, it’s a rough terrain
Yes and no to if I’m wise with age
They run off, they got no sense of time
With their own rhythm, reason, and rhyme
One day they’ll relieve me as the sage
Sitting here under these sunny skies
You hear my laughs and you hear my cries
Who knew life would take me by surprise
I didn’t listen til I grew wise
Now I see and I know through these eyes
As I followed the steps of my dad
Some cursing, but a good life I had
Still nothing can change the past I’ve known
My kid’s kids saying who’s that old man
Gathering info to make their plan
I can’t let them go out there alone
Sitting here under these sunny skies
Watching my grandkids before my eyes
Yes I now know that I’ve seen my day
As of all my dreams I chose to lose
I hand them out for others to choose
Time will take but it won’t take away
Sitting here under these sunny skies
You hear my laughs and you hear my cries
Who knew life would take me by surprise
I didn’t listen til I grew wise
Now I see and I know through these eyes
Almighty up above me Won’t you please come down
And straighten out this filthy world That somehow got turned around
Lord Jesus do you hear me? You have all the powers
You straightened out your world in heaven Could you please straighten out ours?
God, am I reaching Ya? We need your magic touch
We need you here on earth, We need you very much.
Christ can you hear me? Do ya understand what I mean?
Peace is losing the picture And war is taking over the scene.
Father, things are so bad that What-ever someone does they hate it.
If you would straighten things out, I sure would appreciate it.
Feel out of place with trembling hands
Don’t understand just where I am
I wanna go home … wanna go home
Back to the sixties where I belong
On a breezy day with my hair waving long
You play the guitar, I’ll sing a song
Too buzzed out to know right from wrong
Take me home … wanna go home
Give me my rock and roll in earlier days
Sergeant Pepper and Purple Haze
You let me down with the disco craze
Your punk perversion doesn’t mix with my ways
Take me home … home
If I could count the times you’ve lied
I’d be an educated man
I guess, my guess is not enough
So I still see you when I can
About those times you were away
Is it true you were not alone
I know I knew it was the truth
But I still waited by the phone
When you sit down beside me
Whispering sweet nothings in my ear
Lies – I know they’re lies
But they’re lies I want to hear
It’s been years since your first hello
And moments since your last goodbye
Though you say we can’t work things out
I’m hoping that’s another lie
Although you like to drift away
I just can’t let us drift apart
The day we met you stole my soul
Through the years you’ve kidnapped my heart
When you sit down beside me
Whispering sweet nothings in my ear
Lies – I know they’re lies
But they’re lies I want to hear
I can’t promise that things will change
For I don't know I want them to
I think of us as how we are
I treasure the times we’ve been through
Many men would have chose to leave
But I always preferred to stay
I feel the comfort in your words
Though I don’t believe what you say
When you sit down beside me
Whispering sweet nothings in my ear
Lies – I know they’re lies
But they’re lies I want to hear
I was remembering things we used to do
They bring a tear to my eye
I was remembering things we used to say
Hey let’s give it a try
Oh Why do birds fly
Why do happy brides always cry
And why did you have to die
I was remembering things we used to do
It felt so good to be bad
I was remembering things we used to say
You were the best friend I had
Oh Why do birds fly
Why do happy brides always cry
And why did you have to die
I was hoping that you’d walk through that door
It doesn’t seem that hard to do
I was thinking of all the things I have
Mann, I want to share them with you
There’s something about you girl that makes me grin
There’s something about you girl, please let me in to your heart (to your heart)
You really touched me girl the way you smiled
You really touched me girl and drove me wild from the start (from the start)
I’m falling in love fast with you my dear
I’m falling in love fast let us drift near not apart (not apart)
You get my heart beating. . . it’s yours to claim
I get excited just hearing your name
I can only hope that you feel the same
There’s something about you girl
There’s something about you girl that brings me glee
There’s something about you girl makes me happy all day long (all day long)
You really touched me girl, that’s a good thing
You really touched me girl, you make me sing you a song (you a song)
I’m falling in love fast, you’ve captured me
I’m falling in love fast; don’t set me free let’s be strong (let’s be strong)
"What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace."
~ Agnes M. Pahro
