Silver Threads And Golden Needles:The Springfields.
#20 in UK 1962.
(There was another verse to the original song and I added it
at the end of the Springfield's version.)
#1.
I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room,
All I want's the love you promised, beneath the halo'd moon.
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name,
And hide myself in sorrow, while you play your cheating game.
CHORUS:
Silver threads and golden needles, cannot mend this heart of mine.
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wi..ne.
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name,
and hide myself in sorrow, while you play your cheating game.
(INTERLUDE:)
#2.
Silver threads and golden needles, cannot mend this heart of mine.
And I dare not drown my sorrows, in the warm glow of your wi..ne.
You can't buy my love with money, for I never was that kind,
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine.
OUTRO:
Silver threads and golden needles cannot me...nd..this heart of mi..ne.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
(#3rd verse:)
I grew up in faded gingham, where love's a sacred thing.
You grew up in silk and satin, where love's a passing game.
I know now you never loved me and I know I was a fool,
to think your pride would let you, live by the Golden Rule.
CHORUS:
OUTRO:
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
