(Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop)
(Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop)
Don't let me hear you say life's
Taking you nowhere, angel
(Come, get up, my baby)
Look at that sky, life's begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
(Come, get up, my baby)
There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
(Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop)
(Come, get up, my baby)
Last night they loved you
Opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
(Come, get up, my baby)
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
(Come, get up, my baby)
I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
(Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop)
(Come, get up, my baby)
Some of these days, and it won't be long
Gonna drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car, twenty foot long
Don't cry my sweet, don't break my heart
Doing all right, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon wish upon day upon day, I believe, oh, Lord
I believe all the way
(Come, get up, my baby)
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
(Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop)
(Come, get up, my baby)
Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
(Come, get up, my baby)
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
I'll stick with you, baby, for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold

Earl Slick was lead guitarist. Most of the stuff on this track would have been Carlos Alomar, the band leader.
Good spot!
Nah, it's not the same riff - it's different notes, and Stevie's recording of "Superstition" has no guitar in it.
That's Jeff Beck's riff in any case.

Every time I hear this, I recall my father's phrase "The golden years can kiss my ass", which he used often in his eighties.
Thank You for sharing the story. Too funny!
Who is the guitarist here? Larry Carlton?
I had a cat named Shadow.
He didn't like hearing his name mentioned over and over...
Very droll.

"Run for the shadows."

I always thought it was about his wife at the time, Angie
not saying I am correct

"Run for the shadows."
by William Shakespeare (April 26, 1564 — April 23, 1616) circa 1600
Act 3, Scene 1
HAMLET
To be, or not to be? That is the question—
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And, by opposing, end them? To die, to sleep—
No more—and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to—’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished! To die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th' oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.—Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia!—Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remembered.
Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow
of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath
borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how
abhorred in my imagination it is!Cheers!

Time flies when we're having fun... this song also reminds me of this—
The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
by William Shakespeare (April 26, 1564 — April 23, 1616) circa 1600
Act 3, Scene 1
Big snip for space. Shakespeare's First Folio just opened up here in OK. The page they have it open to is Hamlet.
Wanting to Karoke this one ;)
the meaning of the song is a prefect match for Hamlet's lament of time passage hundreds of years ago... this song will last for many golden years to come...
Worth watching. And a good song off a very good album

Lest we forget... I still love this movie - where else can you go medieval to Queen's "We Will Rock You"?
I love this movie too. This song makes me a little sad because I think of Heath Ledger smiling and looking like he's having so much fun. :((
Edit 10 minutes later ... after I had a scrolled down a bit. No need to repeat the explanation, I suppose.
this makes me jiggle!!!
What a crazy, wonderful movie. Fun for family - except if you have little kids who might not appreciate Paul Bettany's bare-butted trudge down the road because he lost his clothes in a card game. Worth the rent - and the music is equally crazy, but it works.

David Prowse? David Niven?
I was driving a woman around back in 1992 and she was talking to me so seriously and we were listening to the radio and this song came on and she turned down the radio and I turned it back up because I love this song and I wanted to hear it and she got so mad at me she dumped me that day... this song always reminds me of that, but I am still glad to hear it because I love this song...
I think she got off easy. If she would have dumped the volume on say..."Radio Free Europe" or "Driver 8", you probably would have slammed on the brakes and made her walk home.
Batty - The date shown is wrong. The album came out in 1976, so it is actually 35 years old.
And now I feel really old......
perfect...
Romeo - went back and re-read your 2008 comment about losing a girl over this song.
That has to be the longest entry you ever have made on RP
Wrong grasshopper IMHO this is a perfect album......
And I have every song - some in multiple languages - that he has ever released.
From "I will love you always... Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky" to "I'll stick with you baby for a ...thousand years."

i may get this from Netflix, just to see that.

Before every new band was called "Talking Heads-esque" they where called "Bowie-esque". And this is why.
Double har-har-har!

Ermmm....BOWIE of course!!!!! Nothing like BYRNE!!!!!
Lol!!
Album covers are often changed for the USA market - look at postings on Blind Faith track that was played a bit ago.
You guys over there are a bit more prudish than us...
I'm bumping the hyper-monkey (although it sounds illegal).
Rumor has it that Bowie snuck into the recording studio when Stevie was alone listening to some rough demos. Bowie heard this riff along with some other material. After a short time Stevie sensed someone else was in the studio with him. He almost caught Bowie before the thin white duke was able to high tail it out of there with Stevie, cursing a blue streak, in hot pursuit. But Bowie got away and the rest is pseudo-history.
Good catch - never thought of that before. (But isn't it a bass snyth riff?)

Hey, we flashed some tit at the Super Bowl a few years back!
Or tried to, anyway....
btw, this song didn't fade out when it was first released. It had a solid ending....

Um ... yeah.
Well, for what it's worth, the Wikipedia article for the Station to Station album gives a different explaination:
I'm not sure how prudishness would factor in to the decision to use a black and white version of the photo on the cover instead of a colour one.

Factoid: Elvis Presley, shortly before he died, expressed interest in covering this tune.

Well you can't polish a turd eh.
Scatalogical references to obfuscate your midlife gender identity crisis. It was the Pink Dress wasn't it? Admit it! It was the pink dress!
