The Glittering Prizes

Television Personalities


In the past I always tried 
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've got something to prove 
Waiting for the chance to accept my point of view 
Pretty soon you will recognise me 
Glittering prizes for me 
Glittering prizes for me 

I wear a clean shirt every day 
I quite enjoy my job as an office boy 
The novelty begins to fade 
I never get the chance 
To play with executive toys 

Thinking to myself that I've got something to prove 
Waiting for the chance to accept my point of view 
Pretty soon you won't recognise me 
Glittering prizes for me 
Glittering prizes for me
