The Glittering Prizes
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
Thinking to myself that I got something to prove
Waiting for a chance to let someone point a view
Pretty soon
You won't recognize me
Glittering prizes for me
Glittering prizes for me
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
Thinking to myself that I got something to prove
Waiting for a chance to let someone point a view
Pretty soon
You won't recognize me
Glittering prizes for me
Glittering prizes for me
Glittering prizes for me
Glittering prizes for me
But I never got amongst the glittering prizes
I put it down to confidence
Or something trendy like an emotional complex
Thinking to myself that I got something to prove
Waiting for a chance to let someone point a view
Pretty soon
You won't recognize me
Glittering prizes for me
Glittering prizes for me
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
Thinking to myself that I got something to prove
Waiting for a chance to let someone point a view
Pretty soon
You won't recognize me
Glittering prizes for me
Glittering prizes for me
Glittering prizes for me
Glittering prizes for me
