Lyrics:Gold Dust Woman [Version (a)]:
Rock on, gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon
Dig your grave
Heartless challenge
Pick your path
And I'll pray
Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise
Loves to go down
Lousy lovers
Pick their prey
But they'll never cry out loud
Cry out
But did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now?
Do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home?
Rock on, ancient queen
Follow those who pale
In your shadow
Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom
Up for sale, up for sale
But did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now?
Do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home
But did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
Now tell me, is it over now?
Do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home?
Pale shadow of a woman
Black widow
Pale shadow of a woman
Black widow
Oooh pale shadow of a woman
Black widow
But did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now?
Do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home?
But did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
Now tell me, is it over now?
Do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home?
And go home
And go home
The Song:"Gold Dust Woman" is a Fleetwood Mac song, written by Stevie Nicks. It can be found on their 1977 album,
Rumours.
Beck's version of the song is credited to Karen Elson, but it was done in collaboration with Beck, who produced and played the guitars, piano and sang backup (and also uses his band/engineers).
Karen is Jack White's ex-wife, and she also sings the scat jazz part in "I Just Started Hating Some People Today."
This recording is a stunner too, a little electronic, a little bluesy, rock, pop, all thrown in.
