about

'Fool's Gold' was the first single release from 'The Second Hand' and the most popular track on radio from our fourth LP.

The original track is a big epic sounding track - kind of like 'Clutching at Straws' era Marillion, and this arrangement meant stripping back everything to the guitar riff, which Anton subtly modified.

The drums were augmented by a whole host of shakers, tambourines and a frog-shaped woodblock that is impossible to miss in the mix; all arranged by Robert.

The solo at the end is played by Dean on a classical guitar.

Dougie also adds, for the trainspotters, quotes from 230503's 'Flying Falling' which harmonises with the arpeggios he already played in 'Fool's Gold' to sound positively ommadawn-ish.

For better or worse, all the moog lines were performed on a melodica. For that I can only ask for your forgiveness.

DE

Robbie - Voice, Percussion
Dave - Rhodes Piano, Hammond Organ, Melodica, Cello, Voice
Dougie - Acoustic 6 String Guitar, Voice
Dean - Acoustic 12-String guitar, Classical Guitar
Anton - Electric Bass, Voice
Steve - Drums

lyrics

Let me show you endless wealth and power
The magnitude of my insolent desire
Ive no time for God
Nowhere above
I've no ties that bind
My true love

Twisted Truths and secrets
Narcosis remains
No remorse or regret
You're helpless again

Now I own you
Consume until it hurts
Your need to be used
This weakness is a curse
Red top fear parade
Scandals and lies
Raising threats again
You'll run and hide tonight

I have no need for self control
Your world is mine
Your World I hold
No need to face the dark of night
I bow to none like a bird in flight

That's me
The world I built beneath my feet
Controls your future while you sleep
Its all distraction and sovereignty
Abusing wealth for eternity

Gag the voice of empathy
Break the man's diversity
Raise a glass to human error
To fear, to panic
To sweet despair
