Good As Gold Lyrics

Artist: The Beautiful South
Album: Best Of-Carry On Up The Charts

(Heaton/Rotheray)
Don't know what I'm doing here
I'll carry on regardless
Got enough money for one more beer
I'll carry on regardless

Good as gold, but stupid as mud
He'll carry on regardless
They'll bleed his heart 'til there's no more blood
But carry on regardless

Carry on with laugh
Carry on with cry
Carry on with brown under moonlit sky

I want my love, my joy, my laugh, my smile, my needs
Not in the star signs
Or the palm that she reads
I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss
Not in the next life
I want it in this
I want it in this

Got one note to last all week
I'll carry on regardless
The hill to happiness is far too steep
I'll carry on regardless

Dried his mouth in the Memphis sun
He carried on regardless
Tried to smile and he bit his tongue
But carry on regardless

Carry on with work
Carry on with love
Carry on with cheering
Anything above

I want my love, my joy, my laugh, my smile, my needs
Not in the star signs
Or the palm that she reads
I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss
Not in the next life
I want it in this
I want it in this

I don't want silver, I just want gold
Carry on regardless
Bronze is for the sick and the old
But carry on regardless

I want my love, my joy, my laugh, my smile, my needs
Not in the star signs
Or the palm that she reads
I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss
Not in the next life
I want it in this
I want it in this

Hi all,

The lyrics "I want it in this"

actually reads "I'm having it in this".

he refers to having his Kiss in this lifetime. If it's any consolation, we live a few miles apart from each others regional dialect.

I want it in this

reads

I'm having it in this.

(meaning, he is having his kiss in THIS life)

I'll have it it this.

Little difficult to fit it in the music otherwise.

Love this song but get the fucking lyrics sorted

Actually you're both wrong�but close�.in the version i have (which is from 'Miaow') the first chorus actually does go as is written here - "I WANT it in this". It's the subsequent choruses that are not represented correctly and they all read 'I'll have it in this"�.it's not difficult - in fact it's quite clear.
