Glittering Prize Songtext
von Simple Minds

Shine on, shine the light on me
In all of my life so that much more I see

In the light of his love
In the light of reflection
What a world this world
Sometimes oh so it seems

Eyes to the sky
In the silver gift friendship
Glittering prize
Is the price of lost love

They can remember quiet side of midnight
They can remember attraction of fame
Like a glittering prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking heart
Then our last breath away


Always came a time
Time was by your side
We were spending time
We were staring out

Catch me in a dream
Captured all in heart
We were spending time
We were staring out

Could there ever be
Ever more than one
Called an act of love
Can you never stop?

Shine on, shine the light on me
In all of my life so that much more I see
Like a glittering prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking hearts
Then our last breath away

Only on a clear day

Coming in on our lives

Only on a clear day

Coming in on our life


We can remember quiet side of midnight
We can remember attraction of fame
Like a glittering prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking heart
Then our last breath away

See it in the eyes
Satellite sky
We were spending time
We were staring out

Take in, take in more
Endless breath away
We were staring out
Now we′re staring in

Could there ever be
Ever more than one
Called an act of love
Can you never stop?

Shine on, shine the lights on me
In all of my life, so that much more I see
Like a glittering prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking hearts
Then our last breath away

Only on a clear day

Coming in on our life

Always on a clear day

This is the price of love

Like a glittering prize

Only on a clear day
