glory days
-
melodisi common people' a çok benzeyen pulp şarkısı. en azından başkalarından değil, kendilerinden çalmışlar.

bruce springsteenin born in the usa albümünden 1985'de single olarakta yayınlamış şarkısı.
i had a friend was a big baseball player back in highschool
he could throw that speedball by ya, make you look like a fool
saw him the other night at this roadside bar i was walking in, he was
walking out
we went back inside, sat down, had a few drinks, but all we kept talking about
(chorus)
glory days, yeah they'll pass you by
glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
glory days, glory days
there's this girl that lives up the block, back in school she could turn
all the boys heads
sometimes on friday i'll stop by and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
her and her husband bobby, well they split up, i guess it's two years gone by
we just sit around talking about the old times, she says when she feels like crying she starts laughing thinking about
(chorus)
think i'm going down to the well tonight and i'm gonna drink till i get my
fill
i hope when i get older i don't sit around thinking about it, but i probably will
yeah just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of
well the time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister, but boring stories of
(chorus)
all right boys keep it rocking now
we gonna go home now
let's go!
alternate 3rd verse (unreleased studio outtake):
my old man worked 20 years on the line and they let him go
now everywhere he goes out looking for work
they just tell him that he's too old
i was 9 years old and he was working at the metuchen ford plant
assembly line
now he just sits on a stool down at the legion hall
but i can tell what's on his mind
glory days yeah they're gone bad
glory days ah, he ain't never had -
pulp 'un this is hardcore albümünden bir şaheser. şöyle ki * * ;
come & play the tunes of glory - raise your voice in celebration
of the days that we have wasted in the cafe in the station.
learn the meaning of existence in fortnightly instalments.
come share this golden age with me in my single room apartment
if it all amounts to nothing - it doesn't matter, these are still our glory days.
oh my face is unappealing
and my thoughts are unoriginal.
i did experiments with substances
but all it did was make me ill
& i used to do the i ching
but then i had to feed the meter.
now i can't see into the future
but at least i can use the heater.
oh it doesn't get much better than this 'cos this is how we live our glory days.
oh & i could be a genius ,if i just put my mind to it
i, i could do anything ,if only i could get 'round to it.
oh we were brought up on the space-race, now they expect you to clean toilets.
when you have seen how big the world is how can you make do with this?
if you want me i'll be sleeping in - sleeping in throughout these glory days.
these glory days can take their toll,
so catch me now before i turn to gold. yeah we'd love to hear your story
just as long as it tells us where we are - that where we are is where we're meant to be.
oh come on make it up yourself - you don't need anybody else.
i promise i won't sell these days to anybody else in the world but you.
no-one but you -
amerikan folkunun lise gençliğine yüklediği gereksiz abartılı anlamları anlatır, benzer içeriği bon jovi'nin never say goodbye'ında da görebiliriz... hayatta bir bok olamamışların şarkısıdır...

aynı zamanda bir cold case bölümü.

sabahın köründe, güneşle birlikte kalkıp, bulutlarla birlikte kahvaltı ettiğim günlerde kulaklarımı ve ruhumu dolduran bruce springsteen şarkısı.
boşuna patron demiyorlar adama.
glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye diye diye giderdim işe. sokaklar boş, arabalar egzoz dumanı, kediler çöp tenekelerini karıştırır...
bazen de sis olurdu. tülsü duman istanbul boğazını örterdi.
sonra...
glory days...

carl barat and the jackals'in debut albümü let it reign'den görücüye cikan ilk şarki:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uc5jtmdyma
bu da amator bir canlı performans videosu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyatejckuea
şarkının klibiyle ilgili soyle bir açiklama yapmiş grup:
the video for the debut single glory days is made in memoriam of the 306 british & commonwealth soldiers shot for desertion during the great war. some of these men were blameless due to severe psychological trauma, not cowardice, that rendered them physically unable to cope with the horrific scenes they had witnessed. the video was directed by roger sargent and features a cameo appearance by baxter dury as “the general.” -
(bkz: born in the usa) gibi mükemmel bir albümdeki underrated şarkı.
