Solid Gold - Frank Black and the Catholics

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

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 my

Nervous laughter when you shouted and you cursed

I’m not saying I understand

Lord knows, who can understand?

Life can be another 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

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 you cursed

Fourthly, you’re suspect

Thirdly, you don’t get

Secondly, you’ve got no respect

Finally, you’re not the first
