Adele's Skyfall Lyrics Decoded
Do the lyrics reveal hidden clues?
So, this morning at 0.07 BST (see what they did there?), Adele's Skyfall, the theme song from, erm, Skyfall was released. Immediately the internet was abuzz with people praising, or dissing, the song itself, ranging from those who loved it to those who called it a bland Diamonds Are Forever pastiche. But what of the lyrical content? Has Adele, along with her co-writer Paul Epworth, planted clues about the film itself in her well-chosen words? We sat down with a cup of coffee, a red pen and a furrowed brow and tried to decipher the lyrics to Skyfall. "Watch out, Bond – he's got a crumble!"
