Blimey! In retrospect, 'Gold' seems rather a strange choice for a second single:

Placed here with the Lord's care to share this earth
stop bitin' and fightin' we're just denyin ourselves
life and love is one the deeper you delve
stop killing and selling
buying and thinking of gold
forget the body and remember the soul
life is worth more than gold
a soul should never be sold
a lie should never be told
'cos life is worth more than gold

Gold we don't need it do we [etc]
