Just Like Gold Lyrics
Over fields and hills
Waits a train for us
But we're here because
And I'm counting
Up to nine again
Up to nine again
That's how long it lasts
Is this still a gift,
Something we can use?
Oh, I'm sorry I'm late
But I started to wait
And discovered I'd lost my shoes
The gold in my excuse
Is only there for you
I show you jewels you've seen
A thousand times
And then I tell you
That those jewels were never mine
So when you ask of me
Define that feeling for you
What can I say?
It's there until it goes away and
If they had voices then
They'd whisper threats
When they come, they come
In silhouettes
You take my arms and tell me
Don't forget
I had a story, oh,
I hope I haven't sold it yet and
If I could take you there again someday
You'd only say we'd been there anyway
You'd find your diamonds
But they'd fade away to ash
You're flying backwards
Now you lose more every time you crash and
Now I'm aware of where it's
Safe to me
I found my shoes and then I
Found my feet
So when you're asking me to
Define that feeling for you
That's what I'll say
It's there until that
Gold just slips away
Waits a train for us
But we're here because
And I'm counting
Up to nine again
Up to nine again
That's how long it lasts
Something we can use?
Oh, I'm sorry I'm late
But I started to wait
And discovered I'd lost my shoes
The gold in my excuse
Is only there for you
A thousand times
And then I tell you
That those jewels were never mine
So when you ask of me
Define that feeling for you
What can I say?
It's there until it goes away and
They'd whisper threats
When they come, they come
In silhouettes
You take my arms and tell me
Don't forget
I had a story, oh,
I hope I haven't sold it yet and
You'd only say we'd been there anyway
You'd find your diamonds
But they'd fade away to ash
You're flying backwards
Now you lose more every time you crash and
Safe to me
I found my shoes and then I
Found my feet
So when you're asking me to
Define that feeling for you
That's what I'll say
It's there until that
Gold just slips away

I used to play the 7-inch in my dorm room. I've just now heard this song for the first time in over 30 years and I've got chills everywhere. There's almost no song structure but the melody. No verse chorus verse, almost no repetition. And Still it's Insanely Catchy. what a talent, Roddy Frame. he's younger than me. unbelievable.
why has this never been reissued? shameful.
Totally agree with last comment. Most played 7"vinyl I've ever owned and still playing it. Roddy Frame has a way with songs of all aspects of love and equates the ideas we have of love to gold.
