Gold Dust Woman Lyrics
Rock on, gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon
Dig your grave
One less challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray
Wake up in the morning
See your sunlight burning to go down
Lousy lovers
Pick their preys but they never cry out loud
Cry out
Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
Is it over now?
Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
Ooh, shadow of a woman
Rock on, gold dust woman
Follow those who pale in your shadow
Rulers make bad lovers
Better put your kingdom up for sale
Up for sale
Well, did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
Is it over now?
Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
Well, is it over now?
Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
To go home
Ooh, shadow of a woman
Ooh, shadow of a woman
Ooh yeah, shadow of a woman
Ooh, shadow of a woman
Black widow
Ooh yeah, shadow of a woman
Woman
Black widow
Ooh yeah, shadow of a woman
Black widow
Ooh yeah, shadow of a woman
Black, black widow
Ooh yeah, shadow of a woman
Bla-a-a-ack widow....
Take your silver spoon
Dig your grave
One less challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray
Wake up in the morning
See your sunlight burning to go down
Lousy lovers
Pick their preys but they never cry out loud
Cry out
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
Is it over now?
Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
Follow those who pale in your shadow
Rulers make bad lovers
Better put your kingdom up for sale
Up for sale
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
Is it over now?
Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
Well, is it over now?
Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
To go home
Ooh, shadow of a woman
Ooh yeah, shadow of a woman
Ooh, shadow of a woman
Black widow
Woman
Black widow
Black widow
Ooh yeah, shadow of a woman
Black, black widow
Ooh yeah, shadow of a woman
Bla-a-a-ack widow....

This has to be the best track on the "The Crow: City of Angels" soundtrack. I think they did a great job covering this, although i'm prolly committing a cardinal sin of Fleetwood Mac for admitting that. Oh well, i still think this is one of the best covers ever done.
Amazing cover. It's like Satan herself is singing from Hell.
I'm usually not a fan of covers (except 80's punk covers), but this one is good. I love the original too.
i like this song , it's not a bad cover
one of the best covers ever...right up there with buckley's "hallelujah" and cocker's "with a little help from my friends"
"...shadow of a woman; Black widow..."
Dictionary: "Black Widow" - A disingenuous woman who exploits her position in a relationship to the detriment of her partner.
I think it's strange that Courtney sang these lyrics, seeing as she's been accused of being a "Black Widow" countless times. She probably realized this, and that's why she sang it with such emotion and also why this is one of the best covers (my opinion, of course) EVER.
^ I meant no offense to Courtney in the above paragraph, just saying I don't believe she's stupid, and she probably noticed that the lyrics in this song could apply to her according to a LOT of people.
