After the Goldrush

I have no better excuse for reproducing the lyrics of this great song from one of the best and most successful albums of our time, than that I love it and it’s currently running through my head.  Do you agree it was one of the all-time greats?



Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armour coming,
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
and the archer split the tree.

There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
that was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
in the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
in the nineteen seventies.

I was lying in a burned out basement
with the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
when the sun burst through the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
and I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver space ships flying
in the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying and colours flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
Flying Mother Nature’s silver seed

To a new home in the sun.

Flying Mother Nature’s Silver seed

to a new home …..
