Glitters Like Gold - The Cribs

It’s so strange seeming

Like a friends mothers 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?
