歌曲歌詞
Besieged in the battlements of Babylon
Still looking for the hat-peg to hang your head upon
Now you've found a place you think is Avalon
You can talk to anyone here
You can throw your arms around your nearest neighbour
And the smiling ones'll tell you that you've saved her
That she's saved you
They offer the golden promises
The instantly divine
You swallow the golden promises
Hook sinker and line
If you choose to throw your soul around the attitude
Reasoning and independent thought go down the tube
As you go slavening after every inane platitude
How weak you find yourself here
Do you really need to lose yourself completely
How come you seem to rate it all so cheaply
It's so weak-kneed
To go for the golden promises
Mail-order holy vows
You go for the golden promises
I think you really ought to know better by now
So I do my best and I do my nut
I try to explain all these angles
But you turn away
Oh now you're looking in the white of my eyes
And you know what I'm going to say
Don't go for the golden promises
Don't go for the easy way
It's right here on the doorstep
Fool's gold don't throw your life away
