Violent times
Almost lost you in these violent times
I forgot people could be so kind
In these violent times
Dollar signs
Almost lost it chasing dollar signs
Know the cost, but I forgot the price
Of buying my lie
I must have been dreaming
I fell down the well
Waking up
Waking up in hell
Different eyes
You're the same, but I've got different eyes
How could I ever have been so blind?
Blame these violent times
When all of the bombs inside
All of the wires I hide
All of the wasted nights chasing mortality
When in the ashes of Pompeii
Lovers discovered in an embrace for all eternity
I must have been dreaming
I fell down the well
But I swear you were hearing me
Through the noise and static and the call
Almost lost you in these violent times
I forgot people could be so kind
In these violent times
Dollar signs
Almost lost it chasing dollar signs
Know the cost, but I forgot the price
Of buying my lie
I must have been dreaming
I fell down the well
Waking up
Waking up in hell
Different eyes
You're the same, but I've got different eyes
How could I ever have been so blind?
Blame these violent times
When all of the bombs inside
All of the wires I hide
All of the wasted nights chasing mortality
When in the ashes of Pompeii
Lovers discovered in an embrace for all eternity
I must have been dreaming
I fell down the well
But I swear you were hearing me
Through the noise and static and the call

Just imagine this sung by Shirley Bassey. Quintessential Bond music. I'd call it a genre mixing modern and classical music with high emotion and grandiose soaring melodies.
Is “Bond Theme” a specific genre? Discuss.

I still blame St. Vincent for ruining Sleater-Kinney. I’m trying to get past it, but I’m afraid I remain a skeptic towards her work.
Really like the structure of the lyrics and the music is very catchy. Starting at an 8.

Violent Times & Valentines sounds like the name of a Pogues album.
I'm curious whether she intentionally picked a phrase that sounds like "Valentines."

I expect you to die, Mr. Bond.
James Bond theme?
Kate Bush-esque? I like it!

Not sure why exactly, but I keep hearing strains of "You're Lost Little Girl" by the Doors.
