Glitters Like Gold

  • It's so strange seeming
    Like a friend's mother's perfume
    That you can be what you want
    Anointed genius, poets, good fucks
    Yeah you can be what you want
    Anyway
    Getting the feeling, spent all my splendour long ago
    And though I rarely see it
    Your other side glitters like gold.

    It never shows that my
    Mind will always fight me
    With both sides claiming victory
    Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me
    Vanity dance around me
    Whatever you think about me
    I'm the whale beneath the ship
    Who would ever believe me?

    Should I say something?
    It seems they'd like me better
    If I just sing nonsense
    Anyway
    Never written honest, though sometimes I think I should
    But to share these feelings
    Would only hurt the ones I love

    They know enough that my
    Mind will always fight me
    With both sides claiming victory
    Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me
    Vanity dance around me
    Whatever you think about me
    I'm the whale beneath the ship
    Who would ever believe me?

    I guess I got what you wanted
    A naive streak that I won't shake
    Keeps me cold

    My mind will always fight me
    With both sides claiming victory
    Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me
    Vanity dance around me
    Whatever you think about me
    I'm not half the kid I used to be
    Who would ever believe me? Writer/s: GARY JOHN JARMAN, ROSS ANTHONY JARMAN, RYAN JAMES JARMAN
