Frank Black - Solid Gold lyrics

Never since I met you

Did you let me in

Even when I let you

You wouldn't call me friend

Pedal to the metal

Mister, it's a sin

Getting so down

I'd give you solid gold

Just for your finger

You get the medal

For getting so down

I guess you didn't see that sky

When the clouds are turned to isles

I was glad when you couldn't hear me

Nervous laughter when you shouted and cursed

I'm not saying I understand

Lord knows who can understand

Life can be an awful plan

And yours it ain't the worst

Here she comes now

In my mirror

Oh, I know how

She is a terror

Now I see her

In her mirror

Wearing a frown

I give you solid gold just for your finger

You get the medal

For scariest frown

I guess you didn't see that sky

When the clouds are turned to isles

I was glad when you couldn't hear my

Nervous laughter when you shouted and cursed

Fourthly you're suspect

Thirdly you don't get

Secondly you've got no respect

Finally you're not the first
