Lyrics Just Jack – Glory Days

Text:

I’m feelin groovy
Kicking down the cobble stones
And there is music in every sight and every sound
No need for headphones

I’ll tip my cap to the world
Even though I don’t wear one
Grinning at the women in the salon
Getting their hair done
On the outside looking in
Like an aquarium
Spinning with the stars in the planetarium
Deliriously
Mysteriously
I’m feeling curiously marvelously
Super
Duper
Like Joss Stone
My heart melts like ice cream cones
Grinning like a dog digging up dinosaur bones
I used to be fossilized
But now I’m out of my shell
And I’m happier than whores with chivalrous clientele
This can’t be real
I must be dreaming
Can somebody slap me
I’m feeling so mischievous
Original cheeky chappy
It must be ages
Since I felt satisfied
Just to be Just Jack
And just that, still in tact

Its just another one of those glory days
Jump out your bed
Shake your head
Clear the haze
Step out your house
And prepared to be amazed
It’s just another one of those
Just another one of those
Just another one of those glory days
Jump out your bed
Shake your head
Clear the haze
Step out your house
And prepare to be amazed
It’s just another one of those glory days

I’m so warm
New dawn
Reborn
New forms
And I’m thinking about my boys
Joe le chic, and Freshly Sean
And I know you’re underrated
But one day we’ll all make it
And walk around naked with our bollocks platinumed and plated
Anyway I’m off track
Gotta stop that
And get back to the high street
I need something to eat
Stop at the caf’
Coffee and a salt beef bagel
Yea I know I’m caned/Cain’d
But now I’m feeling able/Abel
I used to get so paranoid in places like this
Stayed in my house for days with my weed psychosis
My neurosis was thinking everybody is staring at my red eyes
And shifty expression
But now I’m past caring
And I can feel that destiny is on my side
And by the looks of things
Fate came along for the ride
Behind green skies I can see my girl’s eyes
Damn it I’m in love with this planet
You gotta realize

Its just another one of those glory days
Jump out your bed
Shake your head
Clear the haze
Step out your house
And prepared to be amazed
It’s just another one of those
Just another one of those
Just another one of those glory days
Jump out your bed
Shake your head
Clear the haze
Step out your house
And prepare to be amazed

Its time to look to the future
Just when I was getting
Used to
The humdrum
I realized in the depths of my depression that I really wanted to be someone
So lets smash the past like a tacky figurine
On the back page of a supplementary magazine
But for the time being bump your head to the beat
Sit back, put your feet up
And relax’

Its just another one of those glory days
Jump out your bed
Shake your head
Clear the haze
Step out your house
And prepared to be amazed
It’s just another one of those
Just another one of those
Just another one of those glory days
Jump out your bed
Shake your head
Clear the haze
Step out your house
And prepare to be amazed
