We know that Paul Williams's original lyrics for original song "moonraker" were discarded. who knows these words ?

I don't think it made a good start, with:

"Moonraker / higher than a mile..."

Moonraker
Lift up our dreams
passion and starlight are
insep'rable teams

...

Carry us high
and with care
Dreams gave the night its
worth
Falling in love seldom leads
down to earth

...

We'll fly like time
in the hands of friends
Change spring's mind so she
never ends
Moonraker
make her mine


As quoted in Jon Burlingame's book "The Music Of James Bond".

Surprised you haven't read it!

Cheers

It really is a great book, especially for the likes of me with more interest in the music than the limited interest I have in the films themselves.

Chris, I always loved your tribute to FSM member, and übercollector extraordinaire, Steve 'moonie' Daniels (moonie, I hope you don't mind me dragging this out again...)

"Please tell me, what won't you buy?
Is there a single disc that won't catch your eye?
For when our Moontrekker goes in search of some new CDs
It always shows he isn't too hard to please
From FSM, the Intrada crew
La La Land and Varese too
He loves them
He loves them

"Silvestri, Georges Delerue
Marco Beltrami, Alex Balenescu
It seems that Moontrekker knows he'll like every single track
He never goes to ask for his money back
He'll play his discs if you're feeling flat
And shut you up if you start to chat
He loves them
He loves... them!"

I'd forgotten about that! You must have done some serious excavation, DP, to find it...

Steve is a top man who doesn't post enough around here any more.
