New Gold

**New Gold** — это пятый трек и второй сингл из восьмого альбома *Gorillaz*, *Cracker Island*. В записи песни участвовали Bootie Brown и Tame Impala, который также спродюсировал трек вместе с Грегом Кёрстином. Эта песня впервые прозвучала вживую на Gorillaz World Tour 2022, 19 августа 2022.

## Информация

*New Gold* находился в производстве с 2020 года, а его самым ранним тизером был пост в Instagram Нудл от 1 февраля 2020 года. Однако трек не был выпущен в рамках *Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez*, поскольку, по словам Деймона Албарна, они "так и не смогли закончить нашу мелодию". Он также намекнул, что песня, возможно, будет выпущена в рамках второго сезона *Song Machine*. В конечном итоге *New Gold* был выпущен в качестве сингла 31 августа 2022 года и войдёт в альбом *Cracker Island*, после того как *Song Machine, Season Two* был отложен.

## Текст

[Припев: Кевин Паркер]

But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one

I asked her where it goes, cause I really want

I wonder if she knows that we're underwater

that's the way it goes in this city wonder

[Куплет 1: Bootie Brown]

Move to the spot, I'm one of a few

A whole lot of everything, but nothing to do

Titled in a Tesla

Pardon that ex-wrestler

He dates Francesca

They on them Xannies

Liposuction's scheduled for Granny

She want to save some add to her nanny girls trip

Miami at the end of the year

Polluted filled skies, trying to think clear

I heard the bad news while I was shedding a beer

Watch out for the cults, Paul Revere

We all play a part in the devil's cheer

Run to the hills cuz the end is near

[Припев: Кевин Паркер]

But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one

I asked her where it goes, cause I really want

I wonder if she knows that we're underwater

that's the way it goes in this city wonder

[Куплет 2: Bootie Brown]

A desolate city where it hurts to smile

Ran into the reverend, it's been a while

I'm raining in a rando

she's a social scandal

Give herself to handle when it's too much to bare

ABC boys ready to mayor

Like Shaun, he's Ryder, took on a Dare

Now he's singing like a birdy, pulling on his hair

Trending on Twitter, is what some of us live for

Branches in and out, all's a revolving door

Is all of this a joke? Pauly Shore

Bullshit keeps coming maybe I'm a Matador

What are we living for?

[Брейк: Bootie Brown и Кевин Паркер]

Are we all losing our minds?

Because life got in the way

(Hey, hey, hey)

They will be here just in time

Your replacement is here to stay

Ah-ah-ah-ahh

[Бридж: Bootie Brown и 2-D]

New gold, fool's gold

Everything will disappear

Someone's out here

traveled far too many years

To Nowhere, nowhere

Nothing here is ever real

New gold, fool's gold

Everything will disappear, disappear

Disappear, disappear, disappear

Disappear, disappear, disappear

Disappear, disappear, disappear

Disappear, disappear, disappear

[Припев: Кевин Паркер]

But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one

I asked her where it goes, cause I really want

I wonder if she knows that we're underwater

that's the way it goes in this city wonder

But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one

I asked her where it goes, cause I really want

I wonder if she knows that we're underwater

that's the way it goes in this city wonder

[Аутро: Кевин Паркер и 2-D]

(New gold, fool's gold)

But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one

(Everything will disappear)

I asked her where it goes, cause I really want

(Someone's out here)

I wonder if she knows that we're underwater

(travelled far too many years)

That's the way it goes, in this city wonder

(Nowhere, nowhere)

But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one

(Nothing here is ever real)

I asked her where it goes cause I really want

(New gold, fool's gold)

I wonder if she knows that we're underwater

(Everything will disappear)

That's the way it goes in this city wonder
