The Glittering Prizes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the past I always tried
But I never got amongst the glittering prizes
I put it down to confidence
Or something trendy like an emotional complex

[Pre-Chorus]
Pretty soon I'm gonna change
Pretty soon I'm gonna change
Pretty soon I'm gonna change
You won't recognize me

[Chorus]
Glittering prizes for me
Glittering prizes for me

[Verse 2]
I wear a clean shirt every day
And I quite enjoy my job as an office boy
But the novelty begins to fade
'Cause I never get the chance to play with executive toys

[Pre-Chorus]
Pretty soon I'm gonna change
Pretty soon I'm gonna change
Pretty soon I'm gonna change
You won't recognize me
[Chorus]
Glittering prizes for me
Glittering prizes for me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
