about

A dark, finger picked ballad in a minor key. This track utilises a high strung Nashville tuned guitar, and a palm bender equipped lap steel, which allows the player to emulate the string bending, melancholic chords of a pedal steel, with hand operated levers.
Originally conceived as an instrumental piece by Nick O’Mara, he added the lyric later as a study of greed and exploitation. A story that’s both age old and modern of what happens to those who get left behind when money and a boom blows through somewhere.

lyrics

A handshake deal by a roulette wheel and a crooked smile

Between you and me and the deep blue sea

They sold us out by the mile

It's the last, the last deal gone through

Leave's you and me with the gold rush blues



A back room scheme, bought sight unseen, selling hope for time

weigh the hours, weigh the cost

By the horizon line

Chasing silver, curse the air, they push on through

There's you and me with the gold rush blues

There's you and me with the gold rush blues



A paper trail, ghost town fire sale, a needles eye

Count their money, pockets full, while you count their lies

Slight of hand, vanished, leave no clues

Just you and me with the gold rush blues

Just you and me with the gold rush blues

There's you and me with the gold rush blues
