So Far We're So Far Away

[TripleM]

Pulled down the link. Deciding what I want to do with this...

I did this a couple of years ago, but I was never happy with it. I'm a little happier with this version.

It was an exercise to write a song that would work in a James Bond movie. Let me know what you think. Thanks.


Lyrics
So Far We're So Far Away
Take a chair - check your hair
Make believe you care
God save the Queen and all of that
Act debonair

It's a ticking clock affair
So slip below the glare
You're the planet's wingman
Pick your nom de guerre

This battle's not for show
It's a victory you'll never know
And with a silky trigger touch
It's better that you don't say too much

I hate it when you stare
You're not really there
It's time to kill
Time to fly off to anywhere

CHORUS
Yeah we might live or die today
But so far we're so far away

Alterations have occurred
Shaken not stirred
So get that blood or lipstick off of your lapel

Battle lines are blurred
Give me your word
He could be here, he could be gone, you'll never tell

So lose your former soul
You get a new one back in trade
Forget you're in control
Forget about the plans you made.

Just blend in with the herd
Kill shot conferred
Just know belief and poison pills are both inferred

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Put on your cape, it's time to fight that sinister creation
Bang, sizzle, boom when it gets launched from some remote ice station
It's on its way, a nod from God, so grab hold of the comet
The ilumaniti they ain't scared, they all know that you're on it
Faces turn to places, and we're so far away
So far, so far away

SOLO

Shoot him 'till you're done
Get up, get on, get out
Don't ever let them trace a shot back to your gun

This war's not nearly won
It isn't even halftime
There's still room for all of us to have some fun

I wish we had the time
To borrow truth and make it mine
And hear it through the whine
Of an unprotected, dirty line

So chase the setting sun
It's a consequence of power
That you fix it all and go back on the run

CHORUS

The timing of this does not work. The stuttery drums and everything else are not locked in well at all. It's very disjointed. It's like two different songs playing at once. Sorry man, I think you need to go back to the drawing board on this one.

Timing was throwing me too, but I wasn't sure if it was a stylistic choice. It's especially pronounced with that lead-y guitar part

There's a big vocal duck on "battle" at 00:46. Same at the equivalent at 1:32 on the next pre-chorus. 3rd pre-chorus is less pronounced.

Thanks guys.

I guess I'll pull this down.
