Simple Minds Glittering Prize

From their 1982 album New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Lyrics:

Shine On, Shine the Light on me,
In all of my Life so that much more I see
In the Light of his Love
In the Light of reflection
Oh what a world
Or sometimes oh so it seems
Eyes in the skies
In that silver gift friendship
A Glittering Prize
Is it the prize of lost loves
They can remember quiet sides of midnight
They can remember the attraction of fame
Like a Glittering Prize
I saw up on a clear day
First taking hearts
Then our last breath away

Always came a time - time was on our side
We were spending time - we were staring out
Catch me in a dream - Captured all in heart
We were spending time - we were staring out
Could there ever be - ever more than one
It's called an act of Love
Can you you never stop?

Shine On, Shine the Light on me,
In all of my Life
So much more I see
Like a Glittering Prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking heart then our last breath away
Only on a clear day coming into our lives

See it in the eye - satellite skies
We were spending time - we were staring out
Take in, Take in more - The Endless breath away
We were spending time - we were staring out
Could there ever be - ever more than one
It's called an act of Love
Can you you never stop?

Always on a clear day
Crashing into our lives
Is it the Price of Love
Like a Glittering Prize
Always on a clear day
Crashing into our lives
With your love
Only on a clear day

"New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)" is the name of the album (which was released in 1982).

[ethansta]

 pretty sure (81/82/83/84) is not the correct date for this song

[starcitygal]

Ahhhhh...I just love this song...beautiful, spiritual...

[Chuck Norris]

My parents got married to this song!

[József Kis]

 Flight to another world...

[roddy76to86]

Derek Forbes, a brilliant bass guitarist.

This would have been about one of the last songs he did with Simple Minds. Simple Minds produced complete crap after he was fired/left.

[mrvic nash]

Wavies geez.

[tosspot86]

play it at 240p to really relive the 80s

[zer0c00l44]
