Ash frontman Tim Wheeler is quoted saying “Goldfinger has the best words I’ve ever written”
The song is about a guy sat at home on a dark night. His girlfriend or friend he cares about has gone out. He’s a clingy person and worrisome person, and the absence of this person with the pathetic falisee...
Goldfinger Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Move closer
Set my mind on fire
Taking over
The world seems so alive, ah-ah-oh
The world seems so alive
[Chorus]
She slips into the night and she is gone
Gone to set the score
Gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school again today
A thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind
While I'm waiting for her
[Verse 2]
Down in the basement
Listening to the rain
Thinking things over
I think it over again, ah-ah-oh
I think it over again
[Chorus]
She slipped into the night and she was gone
Gone to set the score
Gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school again today
A thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind
While I'm waiting for her
[Verse 3]
I'm riding it down
Listen to the rain
She'll be here soon
I lie back and drift away, ah-ah-oh
I lie back and drift away
[Chorus]
She slipped into the night and she was gone
Gone to set the score
Gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school again today
A thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind
While I'm waiting for her
[Outro]
I'm feeling so alive, feeling so real
On a stormy night
The rain is coming down
Rain like never before
I've got some records on and some bottles of wine
On a stormy night
The rain is lashing down
And I'm waiting for her
