Remembrance and Gold Lyrics

Black cars driving through the drizzle
Look out the window
I see the world washing away
Mum smiles for her own survival
My father's cigarette glows and flakes into the air
Martin's lover overtakes us, his face is painless
He's done more than we'll ever know

So they go
And the coil that they throw off, we're left to unroll
And what's under the carpet is remembrance and gold
Remembrance and gold

Won't you remember?

Cold meat buffet, does it ever change?
Flickered smiles over tightened fingers
And I hear secret conversations
Family perversions, I'm getting violent
But David stands alone and pretty, his foot against the wall
And his face a quiet storm

So they go
And the coil that they throw off, we're left to unroll
And what's under the carpet is remembrance and gold
Remembrance and gold
Remembrance and gold

Won't you remember?

Cups, paper plates, difficult goodbyes
Mum and dad and me, sharing silence
And men, they have to do what they have to do
David's crying and my father takes him in his arms

So they go
And the coil that they throw off, we're left to unroll
And what's under the carpet is remembrance and gold
Remembrance and gold
Remembrance and gold
And what's under the carpet is remembrance and gold
And the coil that they throw off, we have to unroll
Remembrance and gold
Remembrance and gold
Taking away, yeah, yeah

For the coil that they throw off, we'll have to unroll
(Remembrance and gold)
Won't you remember, remember, remember?
(Remembrance and gold)
Won't you remember, remember, remember?
(Remembrance and gold)
