Good As Gold (Stupid As Mud)

The Beautiful South

 Don't know what I'm doing here 
 I'll carry on regardless 
 Got enough money for one more beer 
 I'll carry on regardless 

 Good as gold, but stupid as mud 
 He'll carry on regardless 
 They'll bleed his heart 'til there's no more blood 
 But carry on regardless 

 Carry on with laugh 
 Carry on with cry 
 Carry on with brown under moonlit sky 

 I want my love, my joy, my laugh, my smile, my needs 
 Not in the star signs 
 Or the palm that she reads 
 I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss 
 Not in the next life 
 I want it in this 
 I want it in this 

 Got one note to last all week 
 I'll carry on regardless 
 The hill to happiness is far too steep 
 I'll carry on regardless 

 Dried his mouth in the Memphis sun 
 He carried on regardless 
 Tried to smile and he bit his tongue 
 But carry on regardless 

 Carry on with work 
 Carry on with love 
 Carry on with cheering 
 Anything above 

 I want my love, my joy, my laugh, my smile, my needs 
 Not in the star signs 
 Or the palm that she reads 
 I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss 
 Not in the next life 
 I'll have it in this 
 I'll have it in this

 I don't want silver, I just want gold 
 Carry on regardless 
 Bronze is for the sick and the old 
 But carry on regardless 

 I want my love, my joy, my laugh, my smile, my needs 
 Not in the star signs 
 Or the palm that she reads 
 I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept Ingrid Bergman kiss 
 Not in the next life 
 I'll have it in this 
 I'll have it in this
