Going For Gold

Shed Seven Going For Gold Lyrics
1.Disco Down

well you could be friends of mine
i see your pondering
but the pleasure will be mine
i do feel hungry even though ive had my share
i'll keep shouting out loud to convert the herd
got to spread the word to the non believers yeah
and the drummer must try holding times together
cos the rest of us can keep it tied forever

feels like i've been to every single disco all around
another night another town
it's time to burn this disco down
a higher place on higher ground
i've heard the sounds and do you like it now
another night another town
its time to burn this disco down

well you could be magnatised
i know your wondering but for you i will oblige
if you try harder to persist in what you feel then you could
push me down
am i making me heard
got to spread the word to the disagreers yeah

and the plastic must keep spinning round forever round round
and the memories will flood and keep us together

feels like i've been to every single disco all around
another night another town
it's time to burn this disco down
a higher place on higher ground
i've heard the sounds and do you like it now
another night another town
its time to burn this disco down

feels like i've been to every single disco all around
another night another town
it's time to burn this disco down

feels like i've been to every single disco all around
another night another town
it's time to burn this disco down
a higher place on higher ground
i've heard the sounds and do you like it now
another night another town
its time to burn this disco down


2.Dolphin

would you give blood if you had any
would you say i'm good or are
there far too many fish in the sea
won't you please say that again
shame on you
there's something in my head
and it's got it's back to me
one day i'll make you sing my praises
but at the moment i'm far too lazy to
get down on your knees
i'm begging please say that again

i'll carry on for as long as i have to
come round to my house
and i'll show you how to
get down on your knees
i'm begging please say that again
shame on you
there's something in my head
and it's got it's back to me

would you walk near me
if you knew how to
could i ever see you and
do you know how to
get down on your knees
i'm begging
please say that again
shame on you
there's something in my legs
and they never walk to me

would you give blood if you had any
would you say i'm good or are
there far too many fish in the sea
won't you please say that again
shame on you
there's something in my head
and it's got it's back to me
shame on you
there's something in my legs
and they never walk to me
shame on you
there's something in my mouth
and it never talks to me
shame on you
there's something in my head
and it's got it's back to me


3.She Left Me On Friday

she left me on friday and ruined my weekend
she thinks we're still best friends she thinks we're still
alright

she's playing her mind games got into the fast lane
drove off to some bright lights

to find out if all the places that shine are anything like mine
no no

she left me with no hope it's all gone up in smoke
she didn't invite me rode off with a donkey

to find out if all the places that shine are anything like mine
to find out if all the style she's got s'gonna push her to the
top

she left me on friday and put me in limbo
she's stolen my ego and now its a no go go go go

she left me with no hope it's all gone up in smoke she didn't
invite me

to find if all the places that shine are anything like mine
to find out if all the style she's got s'gonna push her to the
top
to find out if all the fridays you choose are where you'll still
lose

she left me on friday and ruined my weekend
she thinks we're still best friends she thinks we're still
alright

to find if all the places that shine are anything like mine
to find out if all the fridays that come are gonna make you feel
welcome
to find out if all the style you've got s'gonna push you to the
top
to find out if all the fridays you'll choose are where you'll
still lose


4.Devil In Your Shoes

have you heard about my screams
cause i like a drink
and i haven't touched one in weeks
can the blind see through the eyes
of a dog or is it just attention i seek
have you ever known it to be
because i know you're warming to me
and i know you're waiting you're always ready
you keep your mouth in your backside baby
and you're using it daily in my defense
you wear the devil in your shoes lately
and you're walking all over the times when i've known you
and smiled
have you burned down to the seams
i'm on my feet
and haven't touched down in weeks
can the blind see through these eyes
see through the fog or is it just attention i seek
have you ever known it to be
because i know your warming to me
and i know you're waiting you're always ready

have you every known it to be
because i know you're warming to me
and i know you're waiting you're always ready
and i know you can't keep reeling
from just your own free wheeling
and i know you're waiting you're always ready you see
you wear the devil in your shoes lately
and you're walking all over the times when i've known you
and smiled


5.High Hopes

run a mile run a mile
'cos all the while
you're cramping my style cramp my style
bleeding me dry
grab a hold grab a hold
to steady your soul
and test if they're real test for real
all the spotlights you shone to help me
find needles in the hay
let them lift away
'cos i've got high hopes
i believe
in the roots that keep me complete
and i've got high hopes
all i need
is your hands to steady my feet steady my feet

you've sunken low sunken low
its another swift blow
and i know where you've been where have you
so don't feed off my skin
while i test if they're real test for real
all the stories you told to lift me
when good times went astray
let them lift away

'cos i've got high hopes
i believe
in the roots that keep me complete
and i've got high hopes
all i need
is your hands to steady my feet

we will lift away
'cos i've got high hopes
i believe
in the roots that keep me complete
and i've got high hopes
all i need
is your hands to steady my feet


6.Where Have You Been Tonight

where have you been tonight
and nowhere to go when you need to
i took to you
i took to you from you i drew
nothing but a lonely smile
i wann go out in the sun
but there isn't any sun
and i want the sun
i wanna change the way i look
because i haven't any luck
and my brain is tired
where have you been
if you hold me back i'll kick you in the shins
until your night's on fire
it's good to be alive
where have you been tonight
with the last cries of life
yes we'll see
there is nothing to prove
because no one can lose
but you will do
i took to you
i took to you from you i drew
nothing but a lonely smile
i wanna go out in the sun
and i want the sun
i wanna change the way i look
because i haven't any luck
and my brain is tired
where have you been
if you stop me now
i'll push until you scream
until the night's on fire
it's good to be alive
where have you been tonight
with the last cries of life
yes you'll soon feel the knife
with the last cries of life
yes we'll see


7.Ocean Pie

whats it's like to let the feeling flow
it shakes me cold
in the morning when your feeling low
your worth your weight in gold
i can see through
i can see through you
whats it like to stop and just let go
no heart no soul
i'm shrinking deep i need to feel that glow
your worth your weight in gold
i need to feel you
i need to feel right through you

everything here is above board
everything here is a closed door
there's something i'd like you for
you've got the key to the ocean
you've got the key to the ocean

whats it like to fall and hit the end
to have and to hold
you ar my only friend
your worth the gold i stole
i'd find the right use
if i could cut myself loose

i don't need to be
i need to survive
you've got the key
for staying alive
for staying alive
for staying alive

everything here is above board
everything here is a closed door
so what are you waiting for
you've got the key to the ocean
you've got the key to the ocean


8.On Standby

would you stay on standby
because i need another alibi
in the wrong place at the wrong time
could you talk a fine line
i need to know that i'll be fine
bulletproof
it's like i've never been born
we conceive in the alleyways
it's like i've never been born
we believe in other ways
that you do and you did
and there's proof that we did wrong tonight

could you sense a tragedy
because i saw it on the bbc
there's a panel on that channel
could you walk a narrow line
i need to know i'll serve my time
with some use

it's like i've never been born
we conceive in the alleyways
it's like i've never been born
we believe in other ways
that you do and you did
and there's proof that we did wrong tonight

and tonight you can cry if you want to
but it won't help you
you can cry if you want to
but it won't help you
to get you through this crime
it will plague you standby

we did wrong we did wrong


9.Going For Gold

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


10.Heroes

i lost my heart in san francisco years ago
i've been back to search but the curse is getting worse
don't you know
that the hardest blow to take is the one that you don't
really know is around the corner and ready to floor
you it looms and it goads
and we'll find some piece of mind from the shadows
and i know that we could climb just to pass the time
like the heroes who stand up in their prime
lost but still they shine

i was solo and alfresco years ago
and i fan the flames that keep me burning don't you know
that i'm finding it harder still climbing up to this hill
without you clinging on don't open the wounds that
scarred you it just makes things harder to prove
where you're from

heroes misunderstood


11.Getting Better

you are my guiding light
and you're shining brighter
you shine like tokyo
it's getting better all the time
and the hills are alive
with the sound of music
it's getting better all the time
it's getting better all the time
i've got my wings and i can fly
i will fly to you
you are my one ambition
show me your recognition
it's getting better all the time

a nod's as good a wink
no matter what you're thinking
you are the missing link
it's getting better all the time
and the streets are alive
with the sound of music
it's getting better all the time
i could take you to work
and show you some of my perks
it's getting better all the time


12.Bully Boy

you knocked me off my feet
and i fell face first on the concrete
i took a blow to the limbs
i didn't even know him
there's no point in hiding
the hate that you confide in
the pain that you call your own
there's no point in shying
from the fists that are flying
the boy is on his own

you looked me in the eye
i bet you thought i was paralysed
i took a blow to the chest
now i've been underestimated

there's no point in hiding
the hate that you confide in
the pain that you call your own
there's no point in shying
from the fists that are flying
the boy is on his own

i'll fight you to the death
i'll fight you to the death


13.Mark

mark my words
don't forget where you are
don't forget who's the star
do yu think that i'll go far
mark my words
don't stop if it's wise
i can see through your eyes
and i've left my mark

lover
i wanna swap you for another
and another
we could mate
we'll make great lovers

mark my words
don't forget who i am
don't forget i'm a man
do you think you ever can

mark my words
i think it's probably true
why you think like you do
and i've left my mark forever

lover
i wanna swap you for another
and another
we could mate
we'll make great lovers


14.Chasing Rainbows

there are things that i regret
like being called a nervous wreck
and working up another sweat for you
there's nothing that i can do
for counterparts and bleeding hearts
and all the things that fall apart for you
i don't keep my secrets there
i hide them everywhere
i could deny
but i'll never realise
i'm just chasing rainbows
all the time
i could deny
but i'll never realise
i've been chasing rainbows
all my life

and then i missed my cue
everybody had a laugh
and then went for an early bath
did you
i don't keep my secrets there
i hide them everywhere


15.Speakeasy

will there be another breakdown
communication is a let down
when you speak is it easy
your trying too hard to please me
i know what you think
i think the same things as you
and do the same things as you
don't break the habit of a lifetime
you broke the habit of a lifetime
i see through everything you do

will there ever be a right sound
communication is a let down
you wouldn't speak for a million
give me your honest opinion
in your own words

i see through everything you do
i see through everything you do
