Golden Retriever
Lyrics
Hey said the devil
When I met you at the roundabout She's got powers Magnetic devours you of everything you've got She's a golden retriever Retrieves your oldest coin Leads you blindly down every dark alley Then she'll bleed you dry Stop! Said the puppy When I met him at the zebra cross She said "You need protection From every direction But she'll get you anyhow" She's a golden retriever Retrieves your oldest coin Leads you blindly down every dark alley Then she'll bleed you dry She's a golden retriever She's a golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever Golden retriever Notes
3/ Golden Retriever I listen to a lot of people like Davey Graham, a lot of British folk and bluesmen and European acoustic musicians from the fifties and sixties, and musically 'Golden Retriever' has that kind of feel. The lyrics are a blues parody � "I met the devil at the roundabout" I tried to update blues vocabulary, because I think that one of the things that bothers me most about rock and roll music is that people keep regurgitating the same words. I try to make my own clichés, you know? It also coincided with passing my driving test a few years back, which had a great affect on my life. In studying for my theory test I had to absorb a lot of road sign and driving theory vocabulary, which has made its way into songs like 'Golden Retriever' and 'Valet Parking'.
