'take your silver spoon, dig your grave'
'rulers make bad lovers, you better put your kingdom up for sale'
'did she make you cry, make you break down'

sounds like myself....

I was sooo going to say "Gold Dust Woman" but I didn't for fear of people wondering if I was doing drugs... hahaha

But yes, awesome song!

Well then, what part of the song most describes you?
Also I have met Christine and she was so sweet as was her mother. I'm just having fun. I doubt she does any type of drug.

Lol, I figured!
I really like the line: "Follow those who pale in your shadow"

I was going to say "Gold Dust Woman" for me as well, but my list got really long really quickly. I think the reason I love Fleetwood Mac's music, specifically Stevie's, is because I relate to so, so much of it-- in terms of who I am INTERNALLY, not experiences, characteristics, etc.

Rofl. :lol:

nah, I'm just told I 'was born with a silver spoon in my mouth' on many occasions. it sucks really.

But yeah, no drugs here. never tried any and don't plan on it :D

and on edit of my original post- the line 'lousy lovers pick their prey...never cry out loud' also fits. :D

BTW Vivfox, thank you for such kind words, it was so nice to meet you!

eh, I don't care what Stevie says, that song was never about drugs to begin with. It was anger directed at women who wanted the men in her life...That's what the story was back in 1978, at least. It only became about drugs when she realized some of the words might be plausibly applied to cocaine, kinda' like the way she says "Landslide" is about Katrina: "I realize that now." Hilarious!

Gold dust? Silver spoon? Dig your grave? Not about drugs? yeah, right.

TrueFaith77 07-02-2009 12:31 PM

Beautiful Child. Save Me A Place. The sound of longing.

I think that in ways, the lyrics are way too closely correlated with drug use to have absolutely nothing to do with coke. However, I think she wrote this a little too early into her drug use to be claiming that it can dig somebody's grave... not quite the mindset she was at during the beginning of Rumours, I believe. I think it was more of a subconscious side note of the song-- she had some idea of the potential repercussions but the whirlwind of sex, drugs and rock & roll eradicated all potential worry in a matter of time.

"Gold Dust Woman" was apparently inspired by a street in Phoenix. It was probably her CONSCIOUS reflection on something entirely different than coke-- but that doesn't mean she didn't express how she FELT about it. And, after a few years, she might have realized how strongly that song ties with her substance abuse.

Just my $.02.

Taken from Stevie's Spin interview in October of 1997:

"I don't really know what ‘Gold Dust Woman’ is about. I know there was cocaine there and that I fancied it gold dust, somehow. I'm going to have to go back to my journals and see if I can pull something out about ‘Gold Dust Woman.’ Because I don't really know. It's weird that I'm not quite sure. It can't be all about cocaine."

Hmmm without giving it too much thought, I'd say im STORMS. "I've never ever been a blue calm see, i have always been a storm" Particulary because it is said without volume, and so calmly (ironic) Said with peace. The broken hearted victim stuff though does not relate
