I was listening to this again tonight, love this song- always have, one of Maxi's best set of lyrics. I worked out the lyrics myself years ago. I just wanted to see what people thought of it here. p1k4chu seems to have it right. I've always thought that this song is set into the 3 verses specifically. And i term the verses 1.Women 2. Wheels and 3. Weed. Brilliant tune. |

| The Stone Roses – Fools Gold Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
It's based around the character development of Humphry Bogart and co ithe classic Treasure Of Sierra Madre film from the 1940s. "I'm standing alone, I'm watching you all.." Bogart and his friends go gold prospecting in the mountains and slowly greed turns him insane and jealous. If you think about it on another level it's also Brown commenting on the band's slow and rocky rise to fame. In hindsight it's his greatest set of lyrics ever as it really shows what happened to the Roses. The greed of manager Gareth Evans and the drugs and fall-outs which destroyed the band. He wrote it before his fallout with Squire but now it just speaks volumes about Squire. Incidentally it's the greatest single of all time, almost 20 years after I first heard it still. |

Mozzer actually said years ago that the pay-off line "it was a good lay" is not what he's singing, he reckons he's singing "it was a bootleg" Not sure why he'd say that but he did in an interview. When u listen though all you can hear is " good lay". I don't hear "bootleg" at all. |

It's mainly about Johnny. Of course it is. The 1st verse references the fact that it's 12 years since they had met at the point of Vauxhall & I's release (1994). The 2nd verse references the fact that when Moz tried to get others to collaborate with him after the Smiths demise he was rejected by a few (mainly Roddy Frame- Aztec Camera). He then says "it's all because of us and what was in our eyes"- surely meaning that the likes of Frame and others either were intimidated or apathetic by the brilliance of The Smiths output and credentials in the climate of 1987-88 and maybe the few years after. And the final verse was Moz probably saying he would give anything if Johnny would be happy to break out of his then ambivalence towards his own legacy and to set him free from his mindset. It probably is also a reference to his commitments with (the brilliant The The) and Electronic and his (2nd youth) clubber mentality. |
