This page contains the lyrics to most of the songs from the Bond series. If anyone doesn't agree with any of them, please let me know.

Lyrics from "From Russia With Love" to "The Living Daylights" and "GoldenEye" were obtained from the appropriate sheet music. Lyrics to the other songs were transcribed from the soundtrack albums.

From Russia with love I fly to you
Much wiser since my goodbye to you.
I've travelled the world to learn
I must return from Russia with love.

I've seen places, faces and smiled for a moment
But oh, you haunted me so.
Still my tongue tied young pride would not let my love for you show
In case you'd say no.

To Russia I flew but there and then
I suddenly knew you'd care again.
My running around is through.
I fly to you from Russia with love.

Goldfinger.
He's the man, the man with the midas touch.
A spiders touch.
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his world of sin.
But don't go in.

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear.
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her.
It's the kiss of death from

Mr. Goldfinger.
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold.
This heart is cold.

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear.
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her.
It's the kiss of death from

Mr. Goldfinger.
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold.
This heart is cold.
He loves only gold.
Only gold.
He loves gold.
He loves only gold.
Only gold.
He loves gold.

He always runs while others walk.
He acts while other men just talk.
He looks at this world and wants it all
So he strikes like Thunderball.

He knows the meaning of success.
His needs are more so he gives less.
They call him the winner who takes all
And he strikes like Thunderball.

Any woman he wants he'll get.
He will break any heart without regret.

His days of asking are all gone.
His fight goes on and on and on.
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all
So he strikes like Thunderball.

He's tall and he's dark
And like a shark he looks for trouble,
That's why the zero's double,
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

He's suave and he's smooth
And he can sooth you like vanilla.
The gentleman's a killer.
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past.
Like a knife he cuts thro' life
Like every day's the last.

He's fast and he's cool.
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em...
A pity if it grieves 'em!
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool.

Damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past.
Like a knife he cuts thro' life
Like every day's the last.

He's fast and he's cool.
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em...
A pity if it grieves 'em!
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool.
No, he's no fool.
He's no fool.
He's no fool.

You only live twice, or so it seems.
One life for yourself and one for your dreams.
You drift through the years and life seems tame
'Till one dream appears and love is its name.

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on.
Don't think of the danger, or the stranger is gone.

This dream is for you so pay the price.
Make one dream come true, you only live twice.

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on.
Don't think of the danger, or the stranger is gone.

This dream is for you so pay the price.
Make one dream come true, you only live twice.

We have all the time in the world.
Time enough for life to unfold
All the precious things love has in store.

We have all the love in the world.
If that's all we have you will find
We need nothing more.

Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us.

We have all the time in the world just for love.
Nothing more, nothing less, only love.

Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us.

Yes, we have all the time in the world just for love.
Nothing more, nothing less, only love.
Only love.

Diamonds are forever.
They are all I need to please me.
They can stimulate and tease me.
They won't leave in the night.
There's no fear that they might desert me.

Diamonds are forever.
Hold one up and then caress it.
Touch it, stroke it and undress it.
I can see every part,
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.

I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me.
For when love's gone
They'll lustre on.

Diamonds are forever.
Sparkling 'round my little finger.
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
Men are mere mortals who are not
Worth going to your grave for.

I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me.
For when love's gone
They'll lustre on.

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Forever and ever.

When you were young and you heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did).
But if this ever changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die.
Live and let die.
Live and let die.
Live and let die.

What does it matter to ya?
When you got a job to do you gotta do it well.
You gotta give the other fellow hell!

You used to say live and let live
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did).
But if this ever changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die.
Live and let die.
Live and let die.
Live and let die.

He has a powerful weapon.
He charges a million a shot.
An assassin second to none:
The man with the golden gun.

Lurking in some darkened doorway
Or crouched on a rooftop somewhere.
In the next room, or this very one.
The man with the golden gun.

Love is required whenever he's hired,
It comes just before the kill.
No one can catch him. No hit man can match him
For his million dollar skill.

One golden shot means another poor victim
Has come to a glittering end.
For a price he'll erase anyone.
The man with the golden gun.

His eye may be
On you or me.
Who will he bang?
We shall see.

Love is required whenever he's hired,
It comes just before the kill.
No one can catch him. No hit man can match him
For his million dollar skill.

One golden shot means another poor victim
Has come to a glittering end.
If you want to get rid of someone
The man with the golden gun
Will get it done.
He'll shoot anyone
With his golden gun.

Nobody does it better.
Makes me feel sad for the rest.
Nobody does it half as good as you.
Baby, you're the best.

I wasn't looking but somehow you found me.
I tried to hide from your love light.
But like heaven above me the spy who loved me
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight.

Nobody does it better.
Though sometimes I wish someone could.
Nobody does it quite the way you do.
Did you have to be so good?

The way that you hold me whenever you hold me.
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from running, but just keep it coming.
How'd you learn to do the things you do?

Nobody does it better.
Makes me feel sad for the rest.
Nobody does it half as good as you.
Baby, baby, darling you're the best.

Where are you?
Why do you hide?
Where is that moonlight trail
That leads to your side?

Just like the Moonraker goes
In search of his dream of gold,
I search for love,
For someone to have and hold.

I've seen your smile in a thousand dreams,
Felt your touch and it always seems
You love me.
You love me.

Where are you?
When will we meet?
Take my unfinished life and
Make it complete.

Just like the Moonraker knows
His dream will come true someday,
I know that you are
Only a kiss away.

I've seen your smile in a thousand dreams,
Felt your touch and it always seems
You love me.
You love me.

For your eyes only can see me through the night.
For your eyes only I never need to hide.
You can see so much in me, so much in me that's new.
I never felt until I looked at you.

For your eyes only, only for you.
You'll see what no-one else can see, now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only, only for you.
The love I know you need in me,
The fantasy you've freed in me.
Only for you, only for you.

For your eyes only, the nights are never cold.
You really know me, that's all I need to know.
Maybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine,
But you won't need to read between the lines.

For your eyes only, only for you.
You see what no-one else can see, now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only, only for you.
The passions that collide in me,
The wild abandoned side of me.
Only for you.
For your eyes only.

All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two,
Had no intention to do the things we've done.
Funny how it always goes with love, when you don't look, you find.
But then we've two of a kind, we move as one.

We're an all time high, we'll change all that's gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love.
On an all time high we'll take on the world and wait.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.

I don't want to waste a waking moment, I don't want to sleep.
I'm in so strong and so deep and so are you.
In my time I've said these words before but now I realise
My heart was telling me lies.  For you they're true.

We're an all time high, we'll change all that's gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love.
On an all time high we'll take on the world and wait.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.
We're an all time high.

Meeting you with a view to a kill.
Face to face in secret places. Feel the chill.
Night fall covers me
But you know the plans I'm making.
Still oversee.
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 lovers' rosy stain.
A chance to find a pheonix 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.

Hey driver, where're we going?
I swear my nerves are showing.
Set my hopes up way too high.
The living's in the way we die.

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away.
Hundred thousand people, I'm the one they frame.
I've been waiting long for one of us to say
"Save the darkness, let it never fade away."

The living daylights.
Oh, the living daylights.

Alright, hold on tight now.
It's down, down to the wire.
Set your hopes up way too high.
The living's in the way we die.

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away.
Hundred thousand changes, everything's the same.
I've been waiting long for one of us to say
"Save the darkness, let it never fade away."

The living daylights.
Oh, the living daylights.
Oh, the living daylights.

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away.
Hundred thousand people, I'm the one they frame.

The living daylights.
Oh, the living daylights.

Set your hopes up way too high.
The living's in the way we die.
Set your hopes up way too high.
The living's in the way we die.

Ooooh. Woah.
I need, I need, I've got to hold on to your love.
Oooh.

Hey, baby, thought you were the one who tried to run away.
Ooh, baby, wasn't I the one who made you want to stay?
Please don't bet that you'll ever escape me
Once I get my sights on you.

Got a licence to kill (to kill)
And you know I'm going straight for your heart.
(Got a licence to kill).
Got a licence to kill (to kill)
Anyone who tries to tear us apart.
(Got a licence to kill).
Licence to kill.

Hey, baby, think you need a friend to stand here by your side?
Yes you do (your side).
Ooh, baby, now you can depend on me to keep things right (things right).
Please don't bet that you'll ever escape me
Once I get my sights on you.

Got a licence to kill (to kill)
And you know I'm going straight for your heart.
(Got a licence to kill).
Got a licence to kill (to kill)
Anyone who tries to tear us apart.
(Got a licence to kill).

Got a licence to kill (to kill)
And you know I'm going straight for your heart.
(Got a licence to kill).
Got a licence to kill (to kill)
Anyone who tries to tear us apart.
(Got a licence to kill).

Say that somebody tries to make a move on you.
In the blink of an eye I will be there too.
And they better know why I'm gonna make 'em pay
'Till their dying day.
'Till their dying day.
'Till their dying day.

Got a licence to kill (to kill)
And you know I'm going straight for your heart, baby.
(Got a licence to kill).
Got a licence to kill (to kill)
Anyone who tries to tear us apart.
(Got a licence to kill).

Got a licence to kill (to kill)
And you know I'm going straight for your heart.
(Got a licence to kill).
Got a licence to kill (to kill)
Anyone who tries to tear us apart.
(Got a licence to kill).
Licence to kill.
Got to hold on to your loving.
Licence to kill.
Kill.

See reflections on the water,
More than darkness in the depths.
See him surface in every shadow.
On the wind I feel his breath.

GoldenEye, I found his weakness.
GoldenEye, he'll do what I please.
GoldenEye, no time for sweetness
But a bitter kiss will bring him to his knees.

You'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child.
You'll never know how it feels to be the one who's left behind.
You'll never know the days and nights, the tears, the tears I've cried
But now my time has come and time, time is not on your side.

See him move through smoke and mirrors.
Feel his presence in the crowd.
Other girls, they gather 'round him.
If I had him I wouldn't let him out.

GoldenEye, not lace or leather.
Golden chain breaking to the spot.
GoldenEye, I'll show him forever,
It'll take forever to see what I've got.

You'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child.
You'll never know how it feels to get close and be denied.
It's a golden honey trap I've got for you tonight.
Revenge is the kiss, this time I won't miss.
Now I've got you in my sight.
With a GoldenEye.
Golden, GoldenEye.
With a GoldenEye.
GoldenEye.

Darling, I'm killed.
I'm in a puddle on the floor
Waiting for you to return.
Oh, what a thrill...
Fasctinations galore;
How you tease, how you leave me to burn.

It's so deadly, my dear,
The power of having you near.

Until that day,
Until the world goes away,
Until you say there'll be no more goodbye's.
See it in your eyes:
Tomorrow never dies.

Darling you've won, it's no fun.
Martini's, girls and guns,
It's murder on our love affair.
It's you, it's your life every night
While your chasing the morning light.
You're not the only spy out there.

It's so deadly, my dear,
The power of wanting you near.

Until that day,
Until the world goes away,
Until you say there'll be no more goodbye's.
See it in your eyes:
Tomorrow never dies.

Until that day,
Until the world goes away,
Until you say there'll be no more goodbye's.
See it in your eyes.

Until that day,
Until that day,
Until that day.

Your life is a story
I've already written.
The news is that I am in control.
And I have the power
To make you surrender.
Not only your body, but your soul.

Tomorrow never dies... surrender.
Tomorrow will arrive on time.
I'll tease and tantalise with every line
'Till you are mine.
Tomorrow never dies.

Whatever you're after
Trust me, I'll deliver.
You'll relish the world that I create.

Tomorrow never dies... surrender.
Tomorrow will arrive on time.
I'll tease and tantalise with every line
'Till you are mine.
Tomorrow never dies.

The truth is now what I say.
I've taken care of yesterday.

Tomorrow never dies... surrender.
Tomorrow will arrive on time.
I'll tease and tantalise with every line
'Till you are mine.
Tomorrow never dies.
Tomorrow never dies.
Tomorrow never dies.

I know how to hurt.
I know how to heal.
I know what to show
And what to conceal.

I know what to talk
And I know when to touch.
No-one ever died
From wanting too much.

The world is not enough,
But it is such a prefect place to start, my love.
And if you're strong enough,
Together we can take the world apart, my love.

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.

The world is not enough,
But it is such a prefect place to start, my love.
And if you're strong enough,
Together we can take the world apart, my love.

I feel safe.
I feel scared.
I feel ready
And yet unprepared...

The world is not enough,
But it is such a prefect place to start, my love.
And if you're strong enough,
Together we can take the world apart, my love.
The world is not enough.
The world is not enough.
No, nowhere near enough.
The world is not enough.

You walk in a room,
A woman can feel the heat.
One look is a guarantee
Nights could be long and sweet.
The message is clear
Like nothing I've ever known.
But the more that I hear,
Forget about long-range plans
'Cause this man's got his own.

To get mixed up with a man who says "Never"
May be big trouble, but then
I just could be the woman to take you
And make you never say "Never" again.

Never, never say "Never" again.
Never, never say "Never" again.
Never, never say "Never" again.
Never, never say "Never" again.

You've got all the moves.
Ah, but baby I've got them too.
No matter your attitude or your mood
I'll come through.
The touch of your voice.
The feel of your eyes on me.
You leave me no choice.
Though I know there's danger there
I don't care, let it be.

To get it bad with a man who says "Never"
May have no future, but then
I just could be the woman to reach you
And teach you to never say "Never" again.

I'll get you.
I'll beg you.
I'll reach you.
I'll teach you.
I'll take you.
I'll make you.

All the hard work: Stephen Gill
