Just Jack - Glory Days Lyrics






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

  1. P.... M....

    Pam's office cartoon

  2. L.... G....

    yeah...I m watching it with tears in my eyes...after over than 25 years...! I found it written in an old lemon-yellow notebook, which I used to jot down music from radio,videos,youtube...OMG! ...I still love his T-shirts, as much as those days (the glory days of my freedom.😟😯😐😑)

  3. W.... 4....

    this is so beautiful, very woke! shame about the salt beef bagel tho bro, TEAM VEGAN!

  4. c.... c....

    Sheldon Cooper feels

  5. D.... L....

    lmao its like one of those visualised lyrics videos people make (includingmegosubscribetodjl3g3nd)
    but damn this must have been effort to make

  6. L.... P....

    Was in South-end, when this was on the airwaves. Good times

  7. E.... G....

    Grinning like a dog digging up dinosaur bones, I used to be fossilised but now I'm outta my shell. Literally one of the best lyrics ever. Xxx

  8. E.... G....

    Fucking tune

  9. S.... ....

    2019 and it's still a banger

  10. M.... G....

    2019 anyone?


    One of the UKS MOST UNDERATED ARTISTS AND ITS AN ABSOLUTE SHAME 😑

    M.... G....

    Agree! I ain't that acquainted with his songs,but I do appreciate his laid back flow and entertaining lyrics.
    I wonder why he stopped and why he'd been so underrated asf!
    F**k my life!

  11. J.... W....

    life just seemed so simple back then

  12. L.... B....

    This song cures my depression. Thank you Jack!

    L.... B....

    I've got BPD and this song help's me get through man.


    Not that you're bothered 😂

    L.... B....

    J G Well done my man!

  13. P.... a....

    2019 and still awake in the morning listening to this great song, the truth that covers my great loneliness and anxiety just by waking up and listening to the song ..

  14. M.... E....

    used to listen to this whilst playing runescape ERMAGHAD!

  15. M.... N....

    just randomly thought of this after all these years

  16. b.... k....

    this beat makes me legit feel so tingly, happy and nostalgic not many songs can still give me that feeling no matter how many times I hear it looooov it

  17. g.... o....

    Who thought - Hey, Sheldon! The Big Bang Theory!

  18. T.... C....

    I love the subversion of expectations with the title.

    If you just see the song title you think "glory days gone past" but the song content is all about TODAY, about NOW being your Glory Days. Good title choice.
    The video also adds another level with Jacks inexpressive face during most of the video. It almost makes you feel like he doesn't feel this way, like he is saying this to himself more than anything, and the last verse really hits this home too.

  73. d.... ....

    They do that dance just to make you upset. And sure everyone could think out loud, but not everyone is as articulate or even interesting.

  74. d.... ....

    You mad bruh? Can't handle the good vibrations? "mate"

  75. J.... N....

    Come back on the scene just jack! your music is bangin!

  76. J.... R....

    mate i fucking swear if i see dis fucking kid im gonna smash his fucking skull against a fucking propain tank. basicly this song is shit mate

  77. d.... s....

    You r from Engeland

  78. M.... ....

    Awesome song... Fabulous dance :')

  79. i.... ....

    If people don't like this don't fucking watch it... Fucking wasters go back to your shitty 1D and JB shit cunts lmao... Clicking a video just to moan about it.. People really have no importance in life

  80. a.... ....

    The majority of rap is conscious, look to the independent artists and the under groud. Hip-Hop came out of a conscious movement. The companies took control and made it about materialistic things and got it in the sad state it is today.

  81. K.... P....

    I thought that read glory hole when I saw this video, I had the completely wrong impression coming into this video,

  82. S.... ....

    I love the music to all these songs.

  83. i.... m....

    a fortune....of shirts

  84. u.... ....

    I count 69 different shirts xD

  85. B.... D....

    is he dead?

  86. Y.... J....

    just jack...just respect

  87. M.... V....

    It's summer Jack xxx

  88. H.... C....

    clever man

  89. p.... ....

    Meme arrow/s/.
    No, I'm not. I guess you're just super edgy.

  90. i.... ....

    Meme arrow? Are you autistic?

  91. p.... ....

    He most certainly is a good rapper, pal.
    Also - meme arrows? Seriously?

  92. i.... ....

    >Good rapper
    >Macklefag

  93. p.... ....

    That wasn't a bad metaphor. And I much prefer mine but I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
    You must admit though, your responses, before this one which I'm currently responding to, were just straight up idiotic; I suggested a good rapper and you respond with 'Go die faggot'....

  94. i.... ....

    Worst metaphor I've read in my entire life.
    My heart is truly broken (That's a better metaphor)

  95. p.... ....

    Woah, you just radiate intelligence

  96. i.... ....

    by how u hold hands wid boys u homo

  97. i.... ....

    m8 at leest i aint no fagot like u ahahahahahahaha

  98. p.... ....

    Woah, I bet you get all the ladies with language like that.
