AFTER THE GOLD RUSH

after After the Gold Rush by Neil Young

Sir Paul McCartney has issued formal divorce proceedings after his estranged wife Heather Mills rejected a £30 million offer. A source revealed: “In his eyes, they agreed they wanted to make the divorce quick and painless and a settlement was virtually in place. It now appears she wants as much as she can and she has left herself open to suggestions that she is a ‘gold digger’.”

Well I dreamed I had a perfect wedding
that I’d found myself a Queen
and that my children were all singing
and Ringo was drumming
in a split between the trees.
There was a fanfare blowing
in the press
and I went down on one knee
and I had bad memories on the run
from the nineteen seventies
had bad memories on the run
from the nineteen seventies

I was lying in a burned out marriage
and the moon waned in my eyes
I’d been looking for replacement
but no sun reclaimed the sky.
My old bands played on in my head
and I thought that I might cry.
I thought about what all my friends had said
I hoped it was a lie
thought about what all my friends had said
I hoped it was a lie

Well I dreamed I saw the divorce courts
flying flags and waving guns
but it was just my children crying
and a mist of money flying
all around my chosen one.
All in a dream, all in a dream
the gold digging had begun
but soon she’ll be hopping off to find
her new home in The Sun.
She’ll be hopping off to find
her new home in The Sun.
