Diamond Head - Gold Mountain

Oh, Diamond Head

Where are all your friends?

Looks as though some time ago they all packed up and left

Now you’re alone, cut off the telephone

Reach back your hands behind yourself and where you belong

For once you were a younger man with all your fateful plans

Now all your best years lie behind you, I don’t understand

Oh Diamond Head

Oh Diamond Head

That silence kills you dead

And the animals they must get fed or they won’t go back to bed

Oh Diamond Head

Take a deep breath breath

Reach back your hands behind yourself where they might connect

For once you were a younger man with all your fateful plans

Now all your best years lie behind you, I don’t understand

Oh Diamond Head

And you’ve killed for those who’ve killed for those

Who’ve killed for those, you’ve killed for those

You’ve killed for those who’ve killed for those

Who’ve killed for those, you’ve killed for those

You’ve killed for those who’ve killed for those

Who’ve killed for those, you’ve killed for those

You’ve killed for those who’ve killed for those

Who’ve killed for those, you’ve killed for those

You’ve killed for those who’ve killed for

Crawl up from under the floor, call out from behind the door

Impress yourself in the back of the book that sits on your bedside drawer

Oh Diamond Head

How I wish we’d never met

The Gods must be cruel that a man like you should tower above all of the rest

For once you were a younger man with all your fateful plans

Now all your best years lie behind you, I don’t understand

Oh Diamond Head

Oh Diamond Head

Tell me what comes next
