Patti Smith - Glitter In Their Eyes Lyrics
It's been a while since I've seen your face
It's been a while since I've walked this place
I see the monkeys riding on their bikes
Racing through the impossible night
Man they'll cut you from limb to limb
Pick your pocket with such delight
Shake it to the right
Shake it in the light
Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
Have you got WTO blues
Dust of diamonds
Making you sneeze
Kids on rollers ready for
Running through the junkyards
Breezing through the halls
Racing through the malls
Walking through the walls
They'll strip your mind
Just for fun
Quoth the raven
Yum yum yum
Children children everywhere
Selling souls for souvenirs
They've been sold out like as not
Just for chunks of Ankgor Vat
They'll trade you up
Trade you down
Your body a commodity
Our sacred stage
Has been defaced
Replaced to grace
The marketplace
Dow is jonesing at the bit
42nd Disney Street
Ragged hearts unraveling
Look out kids
The gleam the gleam
All that glitters
Is not all that glitters
Is not all that glitters

Patti Smith Glitter In Their Eyes Comments
i freakn love this track it belongs on the radio pattis vocals are amazing i think mike stipe is singing backup vocals nice work lenny
Love it!!!!
🖤🤟
Patti Smith is a great lyricist
Anarchy does not equal freedom. Seriously, grow up!!
This song makes me weep for memories that aren't mine.
what a great song- and to think I didn't appreciate her talent when I was a college student
patti glitters
she's not pretty + she's definitely not beautiful but …. oh cant U see ... she's got a great face ( to go with her great personality )
I dont know how or why i exist
Patti rocks outside society
another anthem outside society
She is in her own catergory- Harry and Hynde took from her
I love it but sounds more like Debbie Harry somehow
Happy Birthday today(March 22) to Jay Dee Daugherty. Cheers!
Finally found the song i have been looking for so many years
It's been a while since I've seen your face
It's been a while since I've walked this place
I see the monkeys riding on their bikes
Racing through the impossible night
You say you're feeling like a new tree
Man they'll cut you from limb to limb
Pick your pocket with such delight
Shake it to the right
Shake it in the light
Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
Genius stalking in new shoes
Have you got WTO blues
Dust of diamonds
Making you sneeze
Kids on rollers ready for
Running through the junkyards
Breezing through the halls
Racing through the malls
Walking through the walls
They'll strip your mind
Just for fun
Quoth the raven
Yum yum yum
Children children everywhere
Selling souls for souvenirs
They've been sold out like as not
Just for chunks of Ankgor Vat
They'll trade you up
Trade you down
Your body a commodity
Our sacred stage
Has been defaced
Replaced to grace
The marketplace
Dow is jonesing at the bit
42nd Disney Street
Ragged hearts unraveling
Look out kids
The gleam the gleam
All that glitters
Is not all that glitters
Is not all that glitters
another anthem outside society
This has everything. Gorgeous.
THE BEST !!
Patti Smith, como un buen anejo, mientas mas avanza en edad, mejor se pone.
LENNY "Fucking" KAYE!!!!
- EVERY UK MUSIC FESTIVAL GOERS-
Vu de ma fenêtre, Gung Ho est le meilleur album de Patti Smith.
god very
The real antidote to the current shitty music.
+Giancarlo Leone My feeling's exactly!
@Jason Carpp Thank you Jason!
+Giancarlo Leone You're welcome. I love Patti Smith. What I like is that she's not "politically correct."
@Jason Carpp I do agree and she's a real artist.No gimmick at all.
+Giancarlo Leone I like that. Some people might be offended by some of what she says in her songs. But her songs weren't meant for *everyone* to listen.
Fundamentally epic! An instant classic when it came and a massive tune today! Wonderstuff. Thanks for uploading !
The WOMAN <3<3 ::**
the one and only
fuck the clock
Ahhhhh Lenny Kaye.
ONE OF THE VERY BEST PATTI SMITH SONGS EVER!!!!! Her songs usually don't sound punkish musically but this is different.
PATTI SMITH IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!
1 second ago
bloody awesome woman!!!!
@yancybutler According to PJ she had not heard of Patti Smith when she was first asked about her in the early 90's but she has since learned great respect for Patti since then.
@smcauley600 No biggie. Pj is great and I do think she jammed to smith back in the 80's.
@yancybutler fair enough my mistake
@smcauley600 By the time this came out Pj was an adult. this is from a 96 album I think.
i can picture pj harvey dancing to this as a teen
Mr. Michael Stipe on background vocals in the end... :)
nice song nice song
I have been looking for this song for years!!!
Sounds more like Blondie. IMHO
Today's "punk" pop tarts like Avril will NEVER have the street cred Patti has in her STOOL. Period.
this is her best work
Patti is my Goddess!!! One of a kind. Often copied, never matched! :)
I don't like her music too much in general. It's punk but not quite there yet :P. But this track? This is pure awesomnes :D
talantly genderless
I was flying listening to this. :D
Patti ROCKS!
poetry, written in concrete...if you don't feel anything, you're dead....
such an underrated song! racing through the impossible night!
So powerful! love it.
She is ....and she always is the glitter in my eyes !!
Gung Ho is a great album. Not enough people know about it.
she`s greeeeat =) love her))
Awesome! It's been ages since last time I listened to this song..
great. i want more songs from gung ho on youtube
Patti will always hold a place in my heart. This is awesome!
i love the picture at 1:04, just her facial expression and hair are really great.
Patti is badass. Love her! <3 <3
Love it more!!!!!
love it!
an alien for sure, and oh so cool
she does?! i thought it was known!
schweet
Damn keyboard! ^
I think Polly Harvey is heavily influenced by Payyi.
You're wrong. Her voice sounds like Dewey Cox. Why doesn't anyone say "Why does Patti Smith remind me of Dewey Cox?"
she sounds like bob dylan
1.08-1.34: I soooo want to rub her back!!!
I love her!!and that s one of my fave songs ever
That's Tom Verlaine on lead.
