City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra / Nic Raine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He acts while other men just talk
He looks at this world, and wants it all
So he strikes, like thunderball
He knows the meaning of success
His needs are more, so he gives less
They call him the winner who takes all
Any woman he wants, he'll get
He will break any heart without regret
His days of asking are all gone
His fight goes on and on and on
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all
So he strikes like thunderball
The song "Zulu" by the City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra / Nic Raine is an instrumental composition that features triumphant horns, powerful percussion and sweeping strings. The song is inspired by the Zulu tribe, a group of people who reside in the southern part of Africa. However, the lyrics of the song are taken from another composition - Tom Jones' 1965 hit song "Thunderball," which was used as the theme song for the James Bond film of the same name.
The lyrics talk about a man who always runs while others walk and acts while others just talk. He has a great ambition and wants to have everything in this world. He is called a winner who takes all and strikes like thunderball. The man knows the meaning of success and his needs are always more. He gets any woman he wants and breaks hearts without any regret. This man's days of asking are gone, but his fight goes on and on because he thinks that it is worth it all.
