John Miles - Glamour Boy Lyrics

He really does shine
For the ladies with painted faces
He spends his time being seen
In all the right places

You only get to know him nearly
There can't be anyone who knows him, really
He's doing so well
And there's no-one to tell you but, glamour boy

He could have been the singer
In a rock 'n' roll band
If only, he's got everything it takes to make it

But he's lonely, he's really, an unsung hero
But if money came from having an ego
He'd get to the top
And the dream would have to stop for glamour boy

It doesn't do, to worry
Feel a little sorry for glamour boy
Spending all his money, really isn't funny for glamour boy
Everybody knows it, no-one ever shows it for glamour boy

Living in a world of make believe
And reaching for the sky
When all the people that you meet
Are chances passing by

And friends, don't seem to mean a lot
Anyway, they're always there
Don't take too long to realise
You're not going anywhere, you're not going anywhere
