Come and play the tunes of glory -

raise your voice in celebration

of the days that we have wasted in the cafe

in the station.

And learn the meaning of existence in fortnightly installments.

Come share this golden age with me

in my single room apartment.

And 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

and 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 and I could be a genius if I just put my mind to it

and 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've 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.

And I promise I won't sell these days to anybody else in the world but you.

No-one but you.

Jose, I know what you mean about the similarity. I have just learned Disco 2000 for a band I am depping with. It is almost the same as Common People but the other way round, if you get me. Having said that I like them both!

Please excuse my ignorance; but why do i find tremendous similarity between this beautiful song and Cocaine Socialism. Is it the same with different lirycs. Thanks

It bothers me that the images never become fully opaque.

Perfect song to listen to in an empty dorm room, drinking tea out of the pot cause you've busted your thriftstore teacup and can't afford a new one till that check comes on monday, and the milk you had out on the window sill went off, and you've lost your bike key, and you've got a final and a paper due, and you wonder if these are really the glory days..

It's 5:11am. And I've decided I'm gonna sleep in because modern life is dull. This song is my favourite Pulp song. It's romantic in the old sense of the word - it's a sad and beautiful paean to what could be but isn't. We were brought up on the space race, and expect us to clean toilets seems truer every day. I like songs that make me cry. That doesn't mean I'm depressed either. It just means I care. Which might be the same thing.

"Now I can't see into the future but at least I can use the heater." I think David Gilmour wrote that line.
