Golden Days
Bucks Fizz Lyrics

She locks the bedroom door - lies face down on the bed
She is alone in her room and feeling sad, she locks herself in and lowers her face onto the bed.

Hears voices down the hall - are they real or in her head
She hears sounds in the distance and wonders if it is really happening or just her imagination.

Pictures on the wall - reminders every one
Photos hung on the wall remind her of her past and what used to be.

Just memories of the past - of a time that's been and gone
Only memories remain of the past, which has already ended.

All those wild and crazy nights - they still dance before her eyes
Memories of wild and crazy nights are still fresh in her mind.

(those crazy nights - her name in lights)
She remembers those wild nights where her name was up in lights.

Look at her now the golden days are over
Her best days are behind her and she's not in her prime anymore.

Look at her now no leading man to hold her
She doesn't have a male lead or romantic partner to hold and support her anymore.

She was one in a million now she's that forgotten face
She was once unique and special, but now she's been forgotten and isn't recognized anymore.

Applauded by the press - an overnight success
She was highly praised by the media after a quick rise to fame.

A favourite with the fans - had them eating from her hands
She was highly loved by the fans and they were eager to please and support her.

But stars fall from the sky - in the twinkle of an eye
Fame can be fleeting and end very quickly, even though it seems like it will last forever.

There's no more silver screen just another broken dream
She no longer has a career in movies and her dreams have been shattered.

Still she strikes a classic pose - just in case the cameras roll
She still tries to look beautiful and pose to be ready for any attention or camera.

(she steals the scene - relieves the dream)
She steals the attention and creates her own image, trying to feel like her old days when she was famous.

Look at her now she needs someone to hold her
She is in a fragile emotional condition and needs someone to hold and comfort her.

To feed her lines - someone to co-star
She needs someone to rekindle her passion and acting abilities as a co-star.

Someone to shine
She is looking for someone special to share her life and bring some light back into her world.

(the golden days are over - they're over)
She acknowledges that her glory days are over, and she can't return to those times anymore.

Look at her now no leading man to hold her
She reiterates that she doesn't have anyone special to comfort her or support her like a male lead could.

(no m.g.m. - no paramount - no 20th century)
She recognizes that she doesn't have a contract with any of the major studios anymore, like MGM, Paramount or 20th Century.

Look at her now the golden days are over
She repeats how her best days are gone and not coming back.

(decline and fall - no curtain call)
She acknowledges that her decline is happening and there will be no grand finale or goodbye.
