"It takes love over gold and mind over matter to do what you know that you must."

This does sound like Privates Dancer now I've mentioned it.

The lyrics are a bit dodge.

This isn't my cup of tea at all.

Exubriant fretless bass florish.

Generic Dire Straits song Number 3.

Where does the phrase 'love over gold" come from?

I seem to recall it featuring on the cover of a Beefheart album as a supposed quote by the Cap'.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed May 06, 2020 7:35 pm

Organ.

by Guest Wed May 06, 2020 7:36 pm

Sounds a bit like Downtown Trains by Tom Waits. Only boring.
