"The Gold It's in The..." is a song from Pink Floyd's 1972 album Obscured by Clouds, the soundtrack to the film La Vallée. The song is about a traveller who goes on a quest just for kicks, reflecting the voyage of discovery undertaken by the explorers in the film.
Lyrics:
Come on, my friends,
Let's make for the hills.
They say there's gold but I'm looking for thrills.
You can get your hands on whatever we find,
'cause I'm only coming along for the ride.
Well, you go on your way and I'll go mine,
I don't care if we get there on time.
Everybody's searching for something, they say.
I'll get my kicks on the way.
Over the mountains, across the sea
Who knows what will be waiting for me?
I could sail forever to strange sounding names.
Faces of people and places don't change.
All I have to do is just close my eyes
To see the sea gulls wheeling in the far distant skies.
All I want to tell you, all I want to say
Is count me in on the journey.
Don't expect me to stay.
upbeat man!
