1.Glitters Like Gold
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 can't shake the feeling
I 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 this ship who would ever believe me?
I should say something,
They seem to like me better
If I just sing nonsense
Anyway never written honest
Though some times 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 this ship who would ever believe me?
I guess I'm not what you wanted,
A naive streak that I wont 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?
