Lyrics
The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife
The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife
I'm no clown I won't back down
I don't need you to tell me what's going down
Down down down down da down down down
Down down down down da down down down
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold
These boots were made for walking
The Marquis de Sade don't wear no boots like these
Gold's just around the corner
Breakdown's coming up round the bend
Sometimes you have to try to get along dear
I know the truth and I know what you're thinking
Down down down down da down down down
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold

This is the exact point when the 80s ended and the 90s began.

[@joepowell981]

Ben Sullivan no shit

[@JohnTaylorMusicClips53]

So you're saying the 90's began before Christmas 1989 and New Year's? What mystical forces exist out there...

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Yup.

[@milgols7349]

goodbye 50s, 60s reloaded

[@cerneuffington2656]

It's true! Because It was such a great decade, they decided to start it a month early.

[@macjones2988]

Reni, the most underrated drummer out there, brilliant.

[@wellerwannabe5047]

He didn’t play on this track it was sampled

[@eckyfish]

@@wellerwannabe5047 In the bio I'm reading of them by John Robb, "Reni spent hours building his drums around the breakbeat" for the recording.

[@wellerwannabe5047]

@@eckyfish ohhh ok I just saw on another comment it was sampled but they were probs chatting 💩, my bad

[@Dandroid5000]

@@wellerwannabe5047 It's a combination of a loop (Bobby Byrd - Hot Pants) and Reni riffing over the top......and some funky bongos to thicken it all up.

Bullshit! They appeared on TOTP. That's going along with it.

[@glenndouglas8822]

They and the Mondays both wanted to play live but BBC would not let them so they were gonna swap members but brown stopped it at last minute saying both bands had worked too hard to fuck it all up and the rest as they say is fuckin history. Kick out the jamms mother fucka.......

One of the funkiest guitar riffs ever. Can still listen to this on repeat.

[@ShadowTVNetwork]

Not only were the Roses on that week but so were the Happy Mondays!

[@andchat6241]

But neither performance or song really 'came across ' the screen for me ....most TOTP performances were very flat in the '70s & '80s ( no backdrop , terrible sound & lighting, an audience that didn't know what to do ,the overdubbed applause ,the groups not knowing who they were 'performing for' ,which camera if any to look towards .....)

[@Stu.Henney]

What a Phookin TUNE... Classic then.. Classic Now.. Classic forever !!! Manchester Vibes In the Area 🔥

Agreed it's a tremendous tune but they were in their late 30s by this point. Reni was about 25-26 but the others were 28 and had been playing together for at least 6 years. In fact, John Squire and Brown had played together for a good ten yearsb
