lyrics

The Boy Who’s Made of Glass

The boy who’s made of glass should tell no lies
Unless he knows his conscience is clear
And if it is then he’ll go far
Since he’s as pure as driven snow

He’s not responsible
For how you think
He’s sick of saying words
That mean something

And you’re hopeless
Helpless
But I’m working for your interest
So don’t panic
I’m a two-faced traitor
‘Cos that might be a good thing
Yeah, that might be a good thing

The boy who’s made of glass with pants on fire
His nose extends into the sky
There’s black, there’s white and then there’s grey
He knows that where he is he’ll stay

It’s in the newspapers
So it must be true
I don’t believe a word
And nor should you

But you’re hopeless
Helpless
But I’m working for your interest
So don’t panic
When I’m a two-faced traitor
‘Cos that might be a good thing
Yeah, that might be a good thing

I know that you don’t want decisions made
On your behalf much longer
I can’t help with that

But you’re hopeless
Helpless
But I’m working for your interest
So don’t panic
When I’m two-faced traitor
‘Cos that might be a good thing
That might be a good thing
Yeah, that might be a good thing

Gorman Glasgow, UK

Dark moods with soaring vocals - fierce but fragile, harrowing but hopeful. From solitary piano and voice with delay-laden textures to sizzling guitars with anthemic hooks, Gorman are the long, silent fall through darkness AND the fiery, reverberating impact at the end. ... more
