Good As Gold (Stupid As Mud)

Lyrics

[Verse 1, Paul Heaton] 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 [Jacqui Abbott & David Hemmingway] Good as gold, but stupid as mud He'll carry on regardless They'll bleed his heart till there's no more blood But carry on regardless [Pre-Chorus 1, Paul Heaton] Carry on with laugh Carry on with cry Carry on with brown under moonlit sky [Chorus] 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 [Verse 1, Paul Heaton] 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 [Jacqui Abbott & David Hemmingway] Dried his mouth in the Memphis sun He carried on regardless Tried to smile and he bit his tongue But carried on regardless [Pre-Chorus 2, Paul Heaton] Carry on with work Carry on with love Carry on with cheering, anything above [Chorus] 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'll have it in this, I'll have it in this [Verse 3] I don't want silver, I just want gold Carry on regardless Bronze is for the sick and the old But carry on regardless [Chorus] 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'll have it in this, I'll have it in this
