Paved With Gold
Breaking the Mould: Unveiling the Harsh Realities of Life in 'Paved With Gold'
Lyrics
The streets are paved with gold
The streets are perceived as opportunities and wealth.
Shut up love you sold your soul
An admonishment to be quiet; accusing someone of compromising their integrity.
I'm scared of getting old
Expressing fear or discomfort about aging.
That's not for me break the mould
Rejecting conformity and traditional expectations.
You used your last chance once again
Commenting on someone's repeated missed opportunities.
How's it feel in the lions den?
Asking about the emotional experience of being in a challenging situation.
Sort it out we'll be out in ten
Encouraging the resolution of a problem within a specific timeframe.
Don't talk to me about other men
Dismissing the discussion of other men; possibly a trust issue.
You've lasted this long?
Questioning someone's endurance or survival in a situation.
it's only eleven
Noting the early hour (11) and questioning someone's choices.
I've seen that same look in your eye
Recognizing a familiar expression or attitude.
Been here before
Implying a sense of déjà vu or repeated experiences.
Your excuses just don't stick
Rejecting offered justifications or explanations.
You don't half take the mick
Criticizing someone for taking advantage or mocking others.
You make me sick
Expressing strong disapproval or disgust.
The streets are paved with gold
Reiteration of the earlier sentiment about opportunities and wealth.
Shut up love you sold your soul
Repeating the accusation of selling one's integrity.
I'm scared of getting old
Reiterating the fear or discomfort about aging.
That's not for me break the mould
Reasserting the rejection of conformity and traditional expectations.
She must be a ten
Commenting on someone's attractiveness using a numeric scale.
The pints are here and their talking again
Referring to the presence of alcohol and people talking.
Are you even old enough?
Questioning someone's age eligibility.
Your best mate is looking rough
Noting the physical appearance of a friend.
Don't bite your lip that way
Advising against a particular mannerism.
Especially when it's not at me
Requesting someone not to exhibit a specific behavior.
I really just do not think that you have had enough
Doubting someone's capacity to understand or experience enough.
She's too fussed with her night out
Describing someone preoccupied with their night out.
She ain't no future wife
Asserting that someone is not a suitable long-term partner.
She'll have your life
Suggesting that associating with the person could negatively impact one's life.
Don't tell me you've waited in line for this long
Rejecting the notion of waiting for something for an extended period.
It's a cold and wet walk home for this one
Anticipating an unpleasant journey home due to unfavorable circumstances.
Your mates just asked where it is that i came from
Recounting an inquiry about one's origin or background.
I'd rather it she'd leave us be
Expressing a desire for someone to leave without causing disturbance.
i'm hoping that you'd do for me
Expressing hope that someone would act favorably.
Another wasted night on the town
Reflecting on another night wasted in the city.
Are you joking las? you just pull me right down
Responding to a sarcastic comment that brings down one's mood.
I want you to come home with me
Expressing a desire for companionship.
Cos your taking way too many liberties
Accusing someone of taking too many liberties or freedoms.
