Tom Jones - Thunderball
"He always runs while others walk... he acts while other men just talk..."
If the song is trying to create the image of a smooth, cool, Bondian figure, it doesn't do a great job. I just imagine a lunatic running around while everyone around him is strolling along calmly. Even if it's aiming for more of a dynamic, bombastic dude, well - just think of it. Someone running around furiously, drawing attention to themselves, isn't cool, suave, or sophisticated. It's more inelegant than anything else.
