All Time High
Nic Raine - The City Of Prague Philharmonic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had no intention to do the things we've done
Funny how it always goes with love, when you don't look, you find
But then we're two of a kind, we move as one
We're an all time high
We'll change all that's gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
We'll take on the world and win
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
I don't want to waste a waking moment; I don't want to sleep
I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you
In my time I've said these words before, but now I realize
My heart was telling me lies, for you they're true
We're an all time high
We'll change all that's gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
On an all time high
We'll take on the world and win
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
We're an all time high
The song “All Time High” by Nic Raine - The City of Prague Philharmonic, was the theme song for the 1983 James Bond film, “Octopussy”. The opening lyrics speak of wanting a sweet distraction for an hour or two, not intending to do the things they ended up doing. The singer expresses how funny it is that love always seems to come when you’re not looking for it, and how two people in love can move as one. The chorus then kicks in with the declaration that they are “an all time high”, and that they will change everything that has gone before them. They vow to do much more than just falling in love and will take on the world and win.
The lyrics convey a sense of excitement and exhilaration over the love that has been found unexpectedly. The song speaks of wanting to cherish every moment and not waste a single second, being absolutely consumed with love. The idea of being an “all time high” suggests being at the height of one’s happiness and success, and the singer shares that they will take on the world and win, together.

The perfect send off for Roger Moore as Bond. Octopussy for him. His love interest matched him. Rest in peace my favorite Bond. I'll miss you. I think out of all the scores this version kills me the most.

This piece is so beautiful and I am not ashamed to say Roger is my first Bond ever, my second favorite Bond, and that I think this is easily one of the best Bond films ever.

The lyrics of "All Time High" is so meaningful. It starts with casual sex and it developed. How romantic can that be!
