I want to live, I want to to give
I want to to live, I want to to give
I've been a miner, for a heart of gold
It's these expressions, I'll never give,
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

I've been to Hollywood, I've been to redwood
I crossed an ocean, for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching, yea, yea,
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold, of gold, I said,

I've been to Hollywood, I've been to redwood,
I crossed an ocean for a heart of gold.
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line.
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold, yea,
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold, yea,
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And, and I'm getting old, I said, a-I am getting old
I said, I am getting old, I said, I am-
Keeps me searching, for a heart of gold
Keeps me searching, keep me, keep me, keep me, keep me,
Keep, me, keep me, keep me, keep me,
Keep me, keep me, keep me, keep, me,
Keep me, keep me, keep me, keep me,
Keep me, keep me, err

I want to to live, I want to to give
I want to to give
I've been a miner, for a heart of gold
It's these expressions,
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old, I, I've been to Hollywood.

I've been to Hollywood, I've been to redwood,
I crossed an ocean, for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold.
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold

I've been to Hollywood, I've been to redwood,
I, I crossed an ocean for a heart of gold,
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line.
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of, gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old, and I'm a-getting old
I said, I am, yea, I am, said I am, yea, yea,
You keep me searching, I am, yea, I am
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold, yea [Repeats]

    I'm so fond of the original. This one's manic, but when you think about it, it really fits.

Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
