Perry, Katy - Black And Gold Lyrics
The fish swam out of the ocean
And grew legs and they started walking
And the apes climbed down from the trees
And grew tall and they started talking
And my tears rolled into the ocean
Now I'm looking for a reason why
You even set my world into motion
'Cause if you're not really here
Then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
That it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
I looked up into the grey sky
And see a thousand eyes staring back
And all around these golden beacons
I see nothing but black
I feel the way of something beyond them
I don't see what I can feel
If vision is the only validation
Then most of my life isn't real
'Cause if you're not really here
Then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
That is all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here
Then I don't wanna be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
'Cause if you're not really here
Then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
That is all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here
Then I don't wanna be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold

This is bad!
anything below 120 bpm is actually harmful to your health. Leads to death. Country folks have and data to support this?
Damn, she butchered it pretty quickly. At least the song died a fast death.
The best cover of this song 😍😍
I wish she did more songs like this . Still love her though🌟🤘❤️
Great song & cover!
a beautiful song ruined by a self -confessed hollywood satanist..gotta luv murica....
Mmm
If the fish swam out of the ocean
And grew legs and they started walking
And the apes climbed down from the trees
And grew tall and they started talking
And the stars fell out of the sky
And the tears rolled into the ocean
And now I'm looking for a reason why
You even set my world into motion
'Cause if you're not really here
Then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
That it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here

I wanna be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
Mmm
I look up into the night sky
And see a thousand eyes staring back

I feel a way of something beyond them
I don't see what I can feel
If vision is the only validation
Then most of my life isn't real
'Cause if you're not really here

Now I'm filled to the top with fear
That it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here
Then I don't want to be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
(Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold)
Mmm (black and gold, black and gold, black and gold)
Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold, oh oh
'Cause if you're not really here
Then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
That it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here
I don't want to be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black and Gold!
AWFUL, I CANNOT LISTEN OR WATCH A NO TALENT, TRANNY , FAKE BOOBS, WITCHCRAFT HE katy perry RUIN THIS SONG. WOW, IT REALLY LOOK UGLYYYYYYYYYYY HERE, HE katy perry looks LIKE A PROPER UGLYYYYYYY OLD MALE, HIDEOUS.
Dumb-ass.
2019 katycat forever
Love this 😍👑
Still listening to this 10 years later💘
Katy,
Hey, what's going on? Not much here! Just passing the time at the cafe. How was your day? Mine, was ok alittle slow nothing much to talk about really. I'll tell ya that Israeli election was tight! Your probably not into politics being a giant rock star. Maybe, though! You are pretty smart and witty. I've seen your interviews very charming and handsome for a tall girl! Anyway, just stopping by to say hello and tell ya someone's thinking of you. Hope you had a nice day. Have a lovely evening! Sweetdreams. Sleep well. Goodnight...
Love,
A Secret Admirer
I LIKE THIS VERSION, I LIKE THE ORIGINAL VERSION AND MOSTLY I LIKE SMOKING JOE ROBINSON VERSION
Superba.
She's insane in concert, if you ever get the chance...
Before I heard this I thought she was completely autotuned, that was back in 09 when I was 19 it kinda grew me up to make up my own mind about songs but shh blew me away & the lyrics to this song will forever be one of my top love songs, could you imagine having someone sing this about you
Favourite version after Brenna Whitaker's one. But I believe she took some ispiration from Katy's on this one.
Obsessed with this. Love you Katy ❤️😍
Hurts my ears.
Ella Eyre's version pisses on this
Come rovinare una canzone...
This one is great too tho
I really like the elle eyre cover
She can’t sing this song Ella Eyre the best singing this song.
Tf is Ella Eyre?
Brenna Whitaker only the best
Wow! Nice!! ❤
I'm glad she chose to do this.
fame changes people
2018❤
😍😍😍😍😍
<3 <3 <3
This is my fave version.❤️
OMG this is awesome😍
She sucks
so amazing!
Ugh! God awful!
she sings much better if she is more ino herself ! Continue y o u r way Katy !!!
Hi from Singapore! I hope you'd have a fantastic day =)
Great version featuring the great voice of beautiful person. Great work.
bravo katy perry..
Awful. Started off good then she shat all over it.
how did she change her outfit that quick? 😂
yesssssssss i love katy
She's got ugly profile
QUEEEEEEN! 💗👑
Not even a Katy Perry fan but this is legit.
I Love You KT <3
I have the feeling her voice back then was way more powerful and she didn't feel under pressure showing off her beautiful voice. She slayed some latest performances though. I loved her performance of Dark Horse at Harpars Bazar 2015.
This song with lyrics require deep voices and heavy bass to get that kinda classy feel to it this is too high pitch and that acoustic guitar is just no.
i msis this era of Katy Perry soo much...
me too :/
Brenna Withaker version beats EVERY cover!!!! Go check it out!
biancarap I knowwwwww!!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Keep up the great work
So sweet ! <3
i feel a bit hot n cold ;)
It's nice to see n hear black n gold? It works ;) great work (;
Really didn't want to like that, but I did... Sam Sparrow though...
nyaf-nyaf....
Katy's news on her new album coming most likely in 2016 is that she plans to "reinvent herself". Hopefully she will move on to this kind of music that she was CLEARLY MEANT to sing. She is absolutely amazing in the acoustic and this sorta soft jazzy pop genres. Don't get me wrong,I LOVE pop Katy, but this is the kind of music that will really shut all the haters up bc bae can SING. End of story. #queen
I agree that Katy definitely sounds really amazing in this type of music but I don't know if it's the genre she's meant to be in. We haven't really seen a whole lot of Katy in this style aside from when the whole I kissed a girl thing happened and she sang in a lower register than she does now. I'm a katycat and just ughh. I don't know I just really hope whatever happens happens 😁😁
Xe Are In 2017 And We Didnt Get It Yet
@rafik germany I think it's coming in May. We won't get the singer/songwriter Katy, but definitely a more mature Katy. Witness is a song that will stand out.
WITNESS wil Be My Song oF 2017 And Its Legendary Lovers 2.0
OMG you know it already! I was feeling the same, Legendary Lovers 2.0! I was so obsessed with Legendary Lovers, I still am. And Witness is just stunning..I loved Katy for her One Of The Boys album and wasn't a big fan of Teenage Dream (instead of a few songs), but with Witness..god it's so so good. Legendary Lovers mixed with I'm Still Breathing in a modern way.
i love her amazing voice😍
is so cute and sweet but is perfect for katy😍😍😍
she should move on this music
This sucked. In comparison to sparrow, she RUINED this song!
Go jump off a star.
This is a great example that the right lyrics, and melody can make all the difference in a song. This was a perfect cover for Katy to do; it allowed her vocal ability to shine brightly. This was amazing!
out of all the cover i like hers the best. ellie goulding, adele, and others just dont do it for me like sam sparro and katy perry
Dominick Kasza You should watch the youtube channel Saara on her video, house tour (I'm extremely rich), she sings a part of this song and it sounds like heaven.😇😍😢👌👍👏
Creio que esta é a melhor versão (cover) desta canção, pois Katy não precisou GRITAR em momento algum para justificar uma boa interpretação.
Kathy Perry ....sound better at my mind wt same song
She is singing very good, but, honestly, I prefer the Sam Sparro's original version
Yeah true
I think it's because he left that melody very simple, with little inflections. It's a very direct vocal, which lets you concentrate on what he's saying, rather than how he's saying it. I found with this version, her inflections and "flutterings" only distracted me from the melody, and the words didn't have as much weight. She sings it nice, but it's like listening to a bumblebee going from flower to flower.
Great cover I truly love your singing! Fantastic look and sound! If you have time check out my Taylor swift Wildest Dream cover I did! We got to shoot it with a Swat team!
song name?
+Darude Sandstorm black and gold
This is actually not too bad. Well done.
I see why everyone loves katey perry. I fall in love with her vocals here.
Not as good, sorry
Her singing is so good here!
1:54 amazing note.
Katy did a great job, these ugly hipsters in the comment section can go shove it.
Fifa 09!
Loooool I'm doing this at school dreading it but this made it slightly more better
Shit cover
Listening to it again, loving it again ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To day is the 4th of march 2015. I wish to to preserve this day, for on this day, Katy with her beautiful voice helped me deal with some of the most emotional turmoil I´ve gone through in a long time.
Hmm.. no. Not feeling it at all. Sam's is so much better.
Better than the original.
Oh, yes.
She looks like Dorothy from Wizard of Oz maybe if she taps her red shoes together she will magically sound good without digitally enhanced studio equipment
i always thought she was terrible but she actually sounds so good here!
ikr, same here
@Cersei Lannister I know what you mean I don't rate Katy as an incredible vocalist but I can cope with her voice here
@Cersei Lannister SHAME!
U can cope? lol i wish i can show you all of her outstanding performances... maybe start with brick by brick?

The case of the disappearing coat
Yeah man whats that?
That was 6 years ago damn 💜
@NatalyPerry ik same :D
@***** what is that?
More like 9 years :O
ChemE Perry it's a classic
Adele sang this better...
Absolutely NOT
She killed electric feel but I dunno about dizzz shizzz
sinceramente adele contará esta canción mejor que Katy, pero si la escuchan, la canta sin sentimiento, en cambio katy perry transmite el sentimiento!
NO! Adele no la interpreta mejor!
Vicky Pattison - Geordie Shore!
I really like this version. Strangly. Considering I can't stand this bird, or her prat of an Ex (RB)
She is so talented,I loved the cover..
bad cover...
let me tell you something y'all already know: people hating on her only hate because it's katy LOL. She could've done absolutely perfect and i dunno what and people would still say it is shit because they're that mad, come on
