Goldfinger Lyrics
Move closer, set my mind on fire
Taking over, the world seems so alive
The world seems so alive
She slips into the night, and she is gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her
Down in the basement, listening to the rain
Thinking things over. I think it over again
I think it over again
She slips into the night, and she was gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her
I'm riding it down, listen to the rain
She'll be here soon, I lie back and drift away
I lie back and drift away.
She slips into the night, and she was gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her
I'm feeling so alive, feeling so real
On a stormy night, the rain is coming down
Rain like never before
I've got some records on, some bottles of wine
On a stormy night, the rain is lashing down
And I'm waiting for her
This is my favorite Ash song, and it's way too under rated. People should KNOW this song.
I'm pretty certain I once read somewhere that this is about waiting for a drug dealer.
definitely my favourite ash song, too, and they are one of my all-time favourite bands who have been around for years in my life. the song always reminds me of going out when i was about 13 or 14, when i just went shopping or to see a movie with some friends but that alone was really exciting. "she slips into the night" ... a mysterious world for me to explore on my own...i know it's not what the song is about, but i still associate it with that feeling
I'd say it definitely has to do with drugs, though I am unsure if "she" is his hook-up or the drugs themselves: I'd assume it's the former.
The thing I love about this song is that it has a melancholy tone that is juxtaposed against lines such as "I'm feeling so alive, feeling so real" which truly paints a picture of anticipation and hope.
Random: does this song have anything to do with the Bond movie "Goldfinger"...?
no clue what this song is about but it sure is pretty
No, I think its for the band. I LOVE this song.
such an amazing song. such an amazing band. everytime i'm depressed or in a reflective mood this is what i listen to. i love tim too, hes gorgeous. nearly as great as ash as a whole.
Okay, this is "out there" but here it goes:
I think this song is about a guy who tells his girlfriend about a rumour/story being spread about her brother. It sounds like he was taken out of school (or kicked out) ("Her brother started school, Again today, a thought to pass the time"). Maybe he was picked on. Once she hears this, she leaves him to go exact her "revenge" or "settle the score" with the person(s) that did this.
The rest of the song is the guy sitting by himself and waiting for her to get back (the tenses shifts from "She slips into the night, and she is gone" to "She slips into the night, and she was gone").
Also as he waits, he wonders whether it was a good thing to tell her at all ("Down in the basement, listening to the rain, Thinking things over. I think it over again").
I thought it was "I'm writing it down, listening to the rain?"
Anyway it could be about the anticipation of waiting for a girl to come home so you can give her a cheeky (gold) finger and the rest.
But it seems like he's anxious so I think the girl has gone out to get score some drugs, probably heroin given the gold reference. Anyway it's a cracking song.
