Status Quo - Dust To Gold Lyrics






We know you're watching over us
the job you took for better or worse
dying in the scene from the burning cold
you turned this desert from dust to gold

Someone was born to be a beauty king
all ripping muscles when his sun-kissed skin
and getting paid for the shape I'm in
God's gift to women and I knew it then

I love to sting them like a butterfly
I used to kill them for the natural high
a real hoot, such a crazy guy
another shooter hold me out to dry

Suddenly the blind man can see
suddenly the force is with me
oh Lord, to have, to hold
like dust to gold

You wouldn't ever wanna treat with me
a belt fasten and a downhill ski
no-one would touch me with a ten foot pin
'cos there was no telling where I'd been

A multi-national waste of space
by five o' clock I will be off of my face
without a single litlte saving grace
and yet you call me for the human race

Suddenly the blind man can see
suddenly the force is with me
oh Lord, to have, to hold
like dust to gold

We know you're watching over us
the job you took for better or worse
dying in the scene from the burning cold
you turned this desert from dust to gold

Suddenly the blind man can see
suddenly the force is with me
oh Lord, to have, to hold
like dust to gold
with me oh Lord, to have, to hold
like dust to gold
like dust to gold
like dust to gold
like dust to gold
like dust to gold

  1. U.... M....

    Best song for years.......Love It!

  2. M.... V....

    I bought a "100 Hits" collection to help fill up my mp3 player so I don't listen to the same 6 hours of music every day and found this song I'd never heard before from a band I'd never heard of before. Wish I'd known of it sooner.

  3. O.... W....

    Absolutely the best Quo song for years:)

    O.... W....

    Love this and frozen hero

  4. R.... A....

    I loved the old stuff and I love the later stuff. I have grown up with this band. Bands evolve. Quo has evolved, whilst retaining the original vibe. Re the line-up change - 2 are different! TWO!!! Get over it!!! This is still QUO!!! Timeless  stuff!!!

    R.... A....

    Me too  Love this album!

    R.... A....

    Well said. I also loved the older stuff, but felt that they became a bit of a parody of themselves. However, they were never, in spite of any assertions to the contrary, simply a 3 chord wonder band. A lot of their stuff is trickier and more complex than it seems at first.
    This song was a breath of fresh air. It's essentially a "Quo" song, but it's chord progressions are unusual and the backing harmonies are really good.

  5. s.... ....

    I'm sorry,maybe it's just me.The last time I saw them was the end of the road tour,last good album just supposin/never too late.Bad enough losing spud but when alan left that was it! Good luck to them to be still going but the album suck's.

  6. S.... K....

    Lancaster's songs were always the best.

  7. h.... e....
