Song information
Artist: Ted Leo & The Pharmacists Album: Shake The Sheets
Lyrics
I had a golden ring, and I kept it with golden things In the bank of a million dreams that was bursting at all the seams I had a golden ring. it was such an important thing That I kept it beneath my bed, and I carried it in my head I had a golden dream, and the way it down came to me Was through captains of alchemy, who came up from a steely sea And I dreamed through the rainy night, and I managed to sleep alright And my body became so light, that I managed to give it flight Because I know gold is just a trick of light And lead is light as a feather So, leave me where the kids are alright And we will all go down together I had a golden dream, and they took it away from me And they pulled it out of my head, and they showed me that it was lead
And that's the way it's gonna be
