Good As Gold (Stupid As Mud) Lyrics
Don't know what I'm doing here
I'll carry on regardless
Got enough money for one more beer
I'll carry on regardless
Good as gold, but stupid as mud
He'll carry on regardless
They'll bleed his heart 'til there's no more blood
But carry on regardless
Carry on with laugh
Carry on with cry
Carry on with brown under moonlit sky
I want my love, my joy, my laugh, my smile, my needs
Not in the star signs
Or the palm that she reads
I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss
Not in the next life
I want it in this
I want it in this
Got one note to last all week
I'll carry on regardless
The hill to happiness is far too steep
I'll carry on regardless
Dried his mouth in the Memphis sun
He carried on regardless
Tned to smile and he bit his tongue
But carry on regardless
Carry on with work
Carry on with love
Carry on with cheering
Anything above
I want my love, my joy, my laugh, my smile, my needs
Not in the star signs
Or the palm that she reads
I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss
Not in the next life
I'll have it in this
I'll have it in this
I don't want silver, I just want gold
Carry on regardless
Bronze is for the sick and the old
But carry on regardless
I want my love, my joy, my laugh, my smile, my needs
Not in the star signs
Or the palm that she reads
I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss
Not in the next life
I'll have it in this
I'll have it in this
I'll carry on regardless
Got enough money for one more beer
I'll carry on regardless
He'll carry on regardless
They'll bleed his heart 'til there's no more blood
But carry on regardless
Carry on with cry
Carry on with brown under moonlit sky
Not in the star signs
Or the palm that she reads
I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss
Not in the next life
I want it in this
I want it in this
I'll carry on regardless
The hill to happiness is far too steep
I'll carry on regardless
He carried on regardless
Tned to smile and he bit his tongue
But carry on regardless
Carry on with love
Carry on with cheering
Anything above
Not in the star signs
Or the palm that she reads
I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss
Not in the next life
I'll have it in this
I'll have it in this
Carry on regardless
Bronze is for the sick and the old
But carry on regardless
Not in the star signs
Or the palm that she reads
I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss
Not in the next life
I'll have it in this
I'll have it in this

this song means that this person wants a lot of things and have a lot of problems in their life but they realise that they have to carry on no matter what!!!
Isn't this about the gulf between our aspirations and everyday reality, and the way we deal with it (C.O.R.)?
Shine I like the way you phrased it. I was kind of thinking of it as an anthem of the working class. Wanting whats just beyond reach, wanting gold not silver, and striving to reach it and make it your reality.
It's also about not wanting to wait for your ship to come in. Not swallowing that crap about having to wait for things. Not mortgaging your future when you can have that sun-drenched wind-swept kiss now. And that that is the thing worth fighting for . . .
An atheist's anthem. Great live song too.
Sounds like it would scan better as "good as gold, but thick as fuck." ^^
