The Cribs - Glitters Like Gold lyrics

rate me

It's so strange seeming

Like a friends mothers perfume

That you can be what you want

Anointed genius, poets and good fucks

Yeah, you can be what you want

Anyway, getting the feeling

Spent all my splendour long ago

And thought 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?, yeah

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 one 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?, yeah

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?, yeah
