Glory Days Lyrics
The king stood on the balcony
Surveying all he could see
Peering through the fog and rain
He stood naked in the wind
Holding a cracked glass of gin
But no-body saw his shame
“Looks like the devil’s on the loose
They’re cooking up Mother Goose
Things will never be the same”
Once upon a time he ruled
Now he’s considered a fool
Who can remember his name?
Oh bring back the glory days
The glory days
The glory days
Oh bring back the glory days
When all the ways
Were easier to understand
“Oh tell me what’s the reason
For all these people’s treason”?
Said the king to the queen
“They’re not happy with their lot
They want what others have got
They’re not content just with dreams”
“I’m so confused for all has changed
And everything seems so strange
Who’s a girl and who’s a man”?
“All seems like Babel’s Tower
Our tongue’s a dying flower
So much I don’t understand”
Oh bring back the glory days
The glory days
The glory days
Oh bring back the glory days
When all the ways
Were easier to understand
I heard the king’s been overthrown
Now he has to stand alone
With a sign around his head
“Everything’s done for money
It’s sad or is it funny?
Honour and truth is long dead”
“Now everybody thinks they’re free
But they cannot ever be
Because they’re chained to their will”
The flags all fly at half mast
Decency has long gone past
What lies ahead brings me a chill
Oh bring back the glory days
The glory days
The glory days
Oh bring back the glory days
When all the ways
Were easier to understand
Oh bring back the glory days
The glory days
The glory days
Oh bring back the glory days
When all the ways
Were easier to understand
Paul Robert Thomas
