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 want it in this, I want 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 want it in this, I want it in this
