[Lyrics]
Right there with the blonde hair
That's the one I've been telling you all about yeah
She's the one constantly on my mind yeah
On my mind yeah

Caught a glimpse of me while I'm smoking a f*g
Think she only needs me for one thing, its a sh*g
I keep dreaming of her pout while I'm sippin' on my stout
Paralyzed, hypnotised, yeah she's got me compromised (must be nice)

& I don't know the name of this song but
I might steal a line cause I like it alot
& I don't know the name of this girl but
I might steal her heart cause I kind of likе her

I can feel that heart bеating fast yeah
& you're kinda looking lonely over here
I can feel that heart bеating fast yeah
& you're kinda looking lonely over here

Right there with the blonde hair
She's the one I've been telling you all about yeah
Telling you all about yeah

Ay but its okay - Its okay
Cause she looks like the girl out of my dreams
But its okay cause she looks like the girl out of my dreams
Straight out of my dreams - dreams!

Driving round with my mates & we've got a
Avril Lavigne lookalike in the back
Oh she wants that little line from her little white bag
Sure she only saw her on the TV when she switched to MTV
Cellular brick in her back pocket
If you say the wrong thing you better dodge it
Blockbuster parking lot
Skater girl I wanna see you rock it yeah
I said I wanna see you rock it

I can feel that heart bеating fast yeah
& you're kinda looking lonely over here
I can feel that heart bеating fast yeah
& you're kinda looking lonely over here

Right there with the blonde hair - she's the one
She's the one constantly on my mind yeah
On my mind yeah
On my mind yeah

Ay but its okay - Its okay
Cause she looks like the girl out of my dreams
But its okay cause she looks like the girl out of my dreams
Straight out of my dreams - dreams!

On my mind yeah
On my mind yeah
On my mind yeah
On my mind yeah

Sk8er Girl


First time in harmonic minor. Begins with the classic theme and superimposed chords on the 3rd and 5th on your right speaker. I had to give the mixer (unlimited revisions) some degree of freedom. I would have done it 1 sweep to the left  and 1 right. For each section some theory use. So 1st verse, the violins are playing lydian b3 cos’ the vocals sounded empty on it’s own and I wanted some ‘out of the box’ stuff. The chorus ends on D7 which is an outside chord. That was a chord I accidentally hit on guitar and when it returns to Eminmaj7 it’s a deceptive cadence. Double harmonic minor and whole tone on 3rd degree for the trumpets. The ‘through the gaps part’ I did on 5th improv. Wasn’t happy with the chorus I had written and just improvised over the chorus on Logic. That’ s some of my best flow. 2nd verse I did counterpoint for Bond motif. 2nd chorus, the first line you hear was taken from my original improv. It sounded more fitting as the start of a chorus. I had to write an extra violin line for the chorus to keep it aligned with my ‘every chorus line has different orchestration’ philosophy. The bridge has the drums in mostly half time as well as beginning in the key of G. First time I placed a secondary dominant in the middle of a phase cos’ usually I put it at the end. Then, a chromatic chord sequence. Last chorus I complete my strings cos’ I had violins 1/ 2 and I thought I’d finish it off with violas and cellos. It is polyphonic cos I prefer it when composers write lines that don’t match vocal melody.

I take each part of me apart
Like you didn’t feel me
Like the air was distilled by our heart and I don’t
Show a tell because my mind is withered down
Break a sweat because pieces don’t make a sound
The lies we keep lie razor deep like stains on last nights bed sheets
Could we ever leave this life behind my eyes don’t deceive me but my heart is blind

Every bullet has our nations name on it.
In the name of the crown, with the sound of it. ( to keep it accurate cos’ the queen is dead)
I have loved you for who you are and even if you didn’t know I’d always love you. (Kind of a letter to Vesper)
I have always been so sure of this, from the moment I saw you, I knew that I would kiss you.
And even though we fell through the gaps and everything 
Always made me sure that I would be amiss.  

Somebody won’t do it if I wouldn’t do it for your lies 

Every little bit of malice that we detest
Every little bit of sadness in our breath 
Shakes the foundations of what we build to its chest
Am I not a reader of obituaries  (Skyfall reference)
Am I not the protector of sanctuaries 
I’ll lift this orphaned past into a future of service to war (accurate to Bond’s orphan upbringing)

I’d drain the rivers dry just to taste something clean
I know that you will love me.  (Yes a proper Bond pick up line)

Yes, the most accurate Bond lyrics to date. Even pays homage to the bad old Bond films misogyny by saying ‘bitch.’ 
I really like Skyfall/Casino Royale.  I did ‘meet’ Daniel on Broadway when I was at NYU. Walk passed him and should have asked  ‘what was M16 doing on Broadway?’ but in NY the cool tradition is ‘leave celebrities alone’. I think he was good and some people point out the blonde hair but he looks more like a thug than previous Bonds which is closer to Fleming’s idea. People criticise Dr. Christmas Jones for not looking like a nuclear scientist but Pierce looks more like a model than a spy. Not that I know what spies look like. I wanted to criticise the writers for sticking Vesper in every Craig film.  I was watching No Time To Die with my sister in the cinema I was thinking, “Vesper…again?”.  I finally found out she sacrificed her life for him so to mope for all of his films is fine. I did not like the ending which I thought ripped off ‘Hero’ with Jet Li except they replaced  arrows with missiles. I noticed Daniel does swim well. Then, he did the Belvedere commercial and that kind of ruined a little of his Bond image for me.

Pale Moonlight (Outro)

I began writing the harmony and the main guitar riffs of this song right on Blackout Tuesday. Watching antiracism protests around the world, really got me inspired. Hence the title of the song.
