An original song pitched to EON for "The World Is Not Enough" before they signed Garbage to perform the David Arnold song. The lyrics hint at previous missions and Bond's past. Can you spot all the links? The music is perfectly suited to a Bond film with all the best rock elements as well including the John Barry-esque traditional strings and orchestra. Truly excellent.

Lyrics

Take my hand and decide
You've learnt to live
But do you choose how to die?
Everybody's wanted dead or alive
Kiss the world and everything you know goodbye

Let's pretend we will survive
Killing a friend and loving a spy
Reading your obituary I smile
I shall use my time

The world is not enough (kiss kiss bang bang)
The world is not enough (kiss kiss bang bang)
The world is not enough (kiss kiss bang bang)
The world is not enough
A motto for the man with everything
But a gun in his hand

Blow me a kiss but don't ask why
I have lived and loved and surely let die
You know that you've alive
When looking death in the eye
And on your epitaph I'll write

The world is not enough (kiss kiss bang bang)
The world is not enough (kiss kiss bang bang)
The world is not enough (kiss kiss bang bang)
The world is not enough
A motto for the man with everything
But a gun in his hand

I can recall the petals on your white dress fall out
The engine stops
The crimson kiss of death still forming
A melancholy song so we've got all the time in the world

(kiss kiss bang bang)
It's not enough, it's not enough (kiss kiss bang bang)
The world is not enough (kiss kiss bang bang)
The world is not enough
A motto for the man with everything
But a gun in his hand

The world is not enough (kiss kiss bang bang)
The world is not enough (kiss kiss bang bang)
The world is not enough
A motto for the man with everything
But a gun in his hand
But a gun in his hand
The world is not enough
The world is not enough
The world is not enough
