New gold dream
She is the one in front of me, the siren and the ecstasy
New gold dream
Crashing beats and fantasy, setting sun in front of me
New gold dream
And the world goes hot
And the cities take
And the beat goes crashing
All along the way

She is your friend until the ocean breaks
And when you dream, dream in the dream with me
And when you dream, dream in the dream with me
81 - 82 - 83 - 84
81 - 82 - 83 - 84

New gold dream
Sun is set in front of me, worldwide on the widest screen
New gold dream
Burning bridge and ecstasy, crashing beats and fantasy
Dream in the dream with
And the world goes hot
And the cities take
And the beat goes crashing
All along the way

She is your only friend until the ocean breaks

And when you dream, dream in the dream with me
And when we dream, dream in the dream with me
81 - 82 - 83 - 84
81 - 82 - 83 - 84

New gold dream
The siren and the ecstasy, she's the one in front of me
New gold dream

    Jim Kerr has said in multiple interviews that during the writing of New Gold Dream he, for the first time since forming SM, felt like they were achieving success and had reached actual star-status. If you go back to songs from previous albums, Sons/Sisters particularly, his lyrics hinted at notes of pessimism and doubt. New Gold Dream is about success in the music industry. The 'she' he is referring to is fame. The Years " '81,'82, '83, '84" refer to the number of years (albums) they had signed on to record with Virgin, THE label you wanted to record under in the early '80s. It's funny that the same fame which inspired these lyrics out of Kerr was also responsible for the departure of Brian McGee who regarded the fame and touring as a hassle.
