Going For Gold Lyrics

I never said never, ever
You took the words right out of my mouth
Is the sea your sunshine? Have we been told
The sea is you lifeline, you're going for gold
You took the words right out of my mouth

Time and time and time again
I look to me my only friend
Time and time and time again
Are you here for my pleasure
Or are you going for gold?
Are you going for gold?

I never said never, ever
You took the shine right out of my smile
Is the moon your nightime? Have you been sold
The moon is your lifeline, you're going for gold
You took the shine right out of my smile

While my mind is blind again
I look to me my only friend
Time and time and time again
Are you here for my pleasure
Or are you going for gold?
Are you going for gold?

Time and time and time again
I look to me my only friend
Time and time and time again
Are you going for gold?
Are you going for gold?
Are you going for gold?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is a tune! Can't believe no-ones commented on this.

I reckon it's just about a girl who's messing him about, 'You took the shine right out of my smile'

but he still wants her, 'Are you here for my pleasure'
