My Quantum of Solace theme song

Much of the blog world has been brimming with opinions about the title for the James Bond movie set for release in November, Quantum of Solace. One of the foremost complaints is that the phrase could not possibly fit into a theme song. I thought I would put that fiction to rest. Besides touching on the concept set out in a 1960 Ian Fleming short story, I believe I’ve touched all the important bases for a Bond theme song – mystery, romance, death, and the ever-so-subtle insinuation of sado-masochism.

You can help me work on it. You can even post your own.

When I say Quantum of Solace,
You say, “What does that mean?”
Love, and the choices betweeeeee-een-eeeen.

When love’s cold traps befall us,
You say, “How does that go?”
The price you don’t knowwwwwwwwwww.

Innnnnnn the dying embers
of love’s chilled caress.
Looking for a touch of comfort
In a world that owes you less.

A quant-um of solace
In a fire set ablaze
A quantum of solace
In a fire set ablaze

When secret worlds stall us,
You say, “What should I think?”
Serve me your poooooi-soned driiiiiiink.

When death comes to call us,
You say, “What can I do?”
In six feet, you kneeeew-ew-ewwww.

Loooooooooove comes and goes
in the small - est a - mounts.
Our lashing bodies still smoulder
But it’s the thought that really counts.

A quant-um of solace
In a fire set ablaze.
A quantum of solace
In a fire set ablaze.
