Frank Turner - Glorious You Lyrics






Can see you hurting beneath your new red dress
Beneath your new tattoos and your sharp new shoes, you are directionless
And I know you've been working as hard as you can
To pre-empt the question, the expectation and I understand

So come on now, if we all pulled together
We could lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
Just for a moment or two

From the moment the phone alarm breaks the morning in two
To the moment you close your bedroom door and all that's left is you
There are a thousand auditions you didn't quite get through
So many masks to wear, so much weight to bear but you were only ever you
You were glorious you, you were glorious

Come on now if we all pulled together
We could lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
Just for a moment or two

Come on now if we all pulled together
We could lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
Just for a moment or two

And be glorious you, glorious you, glorious you
With your mixed-up metaphors, your messed-up makeup
You're glorious you
With your tongue-tied tragedy, and too-small T-shirts
Glorious you

So don't you worry all things must end
There are sunlight uplands around the river bend

Come on now if we all pulled together
We could lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
Just for a moment or two

Come on now if we all pulled together
We could lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
Just for a moment or two and be glorious you
Glorious you, glorious you

You were glorious you
You were glorious you
You were glorious you

Frank Turner Glorious You Comments
  1. A.... P....

    Dear Frank, thank you. I needed that.

  2. K.... A....

    I love you so much. You know who you are and you know how much I love you

  3. o.... c....

    Fuck me Frank's done it again

  4. S.... C....

    This song (mainly the acoustic version) has literally saved me. I was planning on suicide and the acoustic version of this song happened to come up on my iTunes and it made stop and think about what I was doing. Thank you, Frank.

    S.... C....

    Shelbi Cordner I'm happy you didn't your life is too precious to just throw away 😊

    S.... C....

    Glad you are still here.. I discovered frank through my gf.. & I thank her for that.. so many of his songs, speak to so many people.. it's great to hear uplifting songs.. it's great that there is music like this that speaks to Us.. to You, to Me. .. thanks Frank.. & thanks for sharing this Shelbi.. I hope you are in a better place mentally now.. we never know the small things that can make so much difference.. One big <3

  5. B.... F....

    I always seem to enjoy this song more when I watch the video

  6. Y.... P....

    It kills me that I don't get Frank as an artist any more. He used to be one of my favourite singers/lyricists and now I feel like I've lost this link, the punk seems half-hearted and the pop makes me feel cynical. I just feel sort of gutted that the 'new' me can't get into the 'new' him.

  7. O.... ....

    I think I've established why I loved this song so quickly, it's like We Shall Not Overcome which I love!

  8. t.... 1....

    just for a moment or two....

  9. c.... ....

    I wasn't that into this song on first listen, but it's really grown on me. I was playing this album while out walking the other day, and this was the song for which I just couldn't resist dancing and jamming down the (relatively empty) sidewalk. I think it's going to totally kill live.

  10. T.... L....

    By the way, am I the only one who is hearing lot of The Hold Steady influences on the new record?

  11. G.... G....

    I thought the same about Broken Piano until we heard it performed "live", when suddenly the power and emotion in the song comes through. Awesome song in my opinion.

  12. F.... B....

    Can't wait for November, I'm going to see this legend!!!!

  13. H.... c....

    Who watched this on aug 7 th

  14. L.... O....

    I needed this, thank you frank <3

  15. I.... P....

    Cannot wait to hear the rest of the album, love this song!!!

  16. R.... J....

    Frank's songs are one of the very few that I never see an argument in the comments section. Says a lot, in my opinion.

  17. t.... ....

    The bands I like, they don't sell too many records
    and the girls I like, they don't kiss too many boys

    t.... ....

    exactly what I thought!

    t.... ....

    +thealexman93 What about the blood donors you like?

    t.... ....

    Maybe those grrls are too busy kissing other grrls

    t.... ....

    Don't be ridiculous. Where would the white hot creamy jizz come from?

    t.... ....

  18. J.... H....

    Tickets bought for the UK tour, can't wait. Will be the sixth time been to seen Frank! The guys a genius. He rocks

  19. B.... C....

    I'm so fuckin pumped I can't wait for this album

  20. x.... ....

    Disappointed to say that I am not enjoying the 3 songs hes released so far compared to how much i enjoyed tape deck heart and the older stuff.

  21. I.... ....

    I am so ready for this album.

  22. J.... P....

    Freakin' genius this guy is. What a joy to have found him this year.

  23. T.... C....

    Friday can't get here soon enough!!!

  24. B.... O....

    frank turner is genuinely the only artist who every song of theirs I've  listened to I've loved, I must have listened to at least 90 percent of his songs by now and still haven't found one that i don't love

    B.... O....

    @Daniel Mallen i actually quite like 'broken piano' i'll admit i have to be in the right mood to listen to it  but when i am i quite like it

    B.... O....

    @Daniel Mallen Live Broken Piano was awesome. Jet Lag is his only song I really cannot get into.

    B.... O....

    @mflamar I think the Jet Lag rock makes up for it though, with more of a song to listen to, rather than 3 minutes of droning.

    B.... O....

    @Daniel Mallen Broken Piano is fucking great. Not sure what you're getting at.

    B.... O....

    I have to say, I'd agree... I don't think he's released a song that I DONT like.

    I've listened to all his covers too, he's covered The Killers, Queen and Bruce Springsteen. To name but a few.

    I've got three Frank Turner album covers tattooed on me too 💙👌🏻

  25. K.... ....

    Im really struggling with these new ones, they're all quite samey, and cheesy and very... meh. not what I was expecting after Tape Deck Heart, that record kicked you right in the feels. not sure what to feel.

    K.... ....

    @Thor Andersen yeah it was freakin' me out how super positive everyone was haha, it's so... bland.

    K.... ....

    Have to agree unfortunately, both this song and Mittens do nothing for me, they just feel like poor imitations of old Turner songs. A few people who've seen Mittens live thought it was going to be the highlight of the album but they said that the album version sounds nothing like it, maybe the production is the problem.

    K.... ....

    @duckwantbreads It may be, actually. it just all falls a bit flat. I didnt like the storm one either. Get Better is alright though. 

    K.... ....

    I agree that it's flat, but considering the album's title and Frank's "new worldview," it's exactly what I'd expect from him. He's playing from the heart and you can feel the negativity he's trying to bring out and make better in this album. At first, I was really disappointed, but now I get where these songs are coming from and all I can say is that they feel pretty true to me.

    K.... ....

    +KayleighMorganMusic I agree, I think part of it is production side, cuz the acoustic tracks are so raw and heartfelt sounding.

  26. D.... E....

    This is so fucking fantastic.

  27. C.... S....

    Brilliant as always! Got the deluxe edition pre-ordered off of Google Play so I'm all set. now this is going to be the longest 3 days of my life.

  28. J.... N....

    I love these early releases, it makes the wait for the album that much more bearable

  29. i.... ....

    you do spoil us

  30. D.... B....

    This is brilliant, I can't wait for the full album! Keep up the good work Frank!

  31. E.... M....

    Never fails to amaze! Love it

  32. C.... B....

    The only Artist (other than Dropkick) that I genuinely enjoy every song.  Amazing sound and lyrics like always.

  33. R.... J....

    Sublime.

  34. S.... S....

    Fucking love it
