Glorious Way - Slightly Left of Centre

The dawn of day

The boys who play lose their limbs in dares

And with their guns strapped to their backs

They won’t be back, they’ll be elsewhere

Shields and swords of yesterday

Can’t save the way that they’re portrayed

And to this day, they all will say

It’s a glorious way to go

So wear that smile

It suits so well

And tell me you love the way I hold your hand and pray

And hope it all goes away

The matinee

The girls who play the damsels in distress

With flowers in their hair

They sit and stare and wonder if they’ll be saved

By the sons of men

Who pretend they are heroes with all they know

And the swords and shields that they will wield

Scream it’s a glorious way to go

So wear that smile

It suits so well

And tell me you love the way I hold your hand and pray

And hope it all goes away

Wear that smile

It suits so well

And tell me you love the way I hold your hand and pray

And hope it all goes away
