El Dorado Lyrics

I don't really have anything to say in the way of analysing the lyrics, but Bruce said:

"It has a cynical lyric about the economic crap that's been happening. It seemed a bit like a perfect storm; people were borrowing money like crazy. I thought, 'This is really going to screw people up' and sure enough, we're all in deep doo-doo! And that's what El Dorado is about, it's about selling somebody the myth that 'The streets are paved with gold' and them asking, 'Where do I sign up?'."

So, I guess that's what it's about.

Sounds like it....remember Gordon Brown said it was the end of boom & bust?

Think of Gordon Brown as the storyteller in this song.
