I had a friend was a big baseball player
back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
but all he kept talking about was
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days
Well there's a girl that lives up the block
back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby well they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
she says when she feels like crying
she starts laughing thinking about
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days
My old man worked 20 years on the line
and they let him go
Now everywhere he goes out looking for work
they just tell him that he's too old
I was 9 nine years old and he was working at the
Metuchen Ford plant assembly line
Now he just sits on a stool down at the Legion hall
but I can tell what's on his mind
Glory days yeah goin back
Glory days aw he ain't never had
Glory days, glory days
Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight
and I'm going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
but I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
a little of the glory of, well time slips away
and leaves you with nothing mister but
boring stories of glory days
Glory days yeah goin back
Glory days aw he ain't never had
Glory days, glory days
Glory days yeah goin back
Glory days aw he ain't never had
Glory days, glory days

Ich hatte einen Freund, er war ein grosser Baseballspieler
Damals auf der Highschool
Er konnte den Speedball an dir vorbeiwerfen
Daß du aussahst wie ein Idiot, Junge
Ich sah ihn letzte Nacht in dieser Bar an der Straße
Ich wollte rein, er wollte raus
Wir gingen zusammen rein, setzten uns, hatten ein paar Drinks
Aber alles worüber er sprach war über.
Glorreiche Tage, sie ziehen an dir vorbei
Glorreiche Tage, so schnell wie das Augenzwinkern eines jungen Mädchens
Glorreiche Tage, Glorreiche Tage
Da ist ein Mädchen, sie lebt im nächsten Block
Damals in der Schule konnte sie allen Jungs den Kopf verdrehen
Manchmal Freitags halte ich an und trinke mit ihr ein wenig
Nachdem sie ihre Kinder ins Bett gebracht hat
Sie und ihr Mann Bobby, sie haben sich getrennt
Ich schätze das ist jetzt zwei Jahre her
Wir sitzen nur da, reden über die alten Zeiten
Sie sagt wenn ihr zum Heulen ist, fängt sie an zu lachen und denkt an...
Glorreiche Tage, sie ziehen an dir vorbei
Glorreiche Tage, so schnell wie das Augenzwinkern eines jungen Mädchens
Glorreiche Tage, Glorreiche Tage
Ich denke ich gehe heute Abend runter zum Brunnen
Und ich werde trinken bis ich voll bin
Und ich hoffe wenn ich alt bin sitze ich nicht herum und denke zurück
Aber wahrscheinlich wird es so sein
Ja, nur zurücklehnen
Und versuchen etwas von dem Ruhm zurückzuholen
Aber die Zeit verrinnt und läßt dich mit nichts zurück Mister
Außer mit langweiligen Geschichten aus glorreichen Tagen
Glorreiche Tage, sie ziehen an dir vorbei
Glorreiche Tage, so schnell wie das Augenzwinkern eines jungen Mädchens
Glorreiche Tage, Glorreiche Tage
Glorreiche Tage, sie ziehen an dir vorbei
Glorreiche Tage, so schnell wie das Augenzwinkern eines jungen Mädchens
Glorreiche Tage, Glorreiche Tage

You feel like Steve McQueen when you're driving in your car
and you think you will look like James Bond when you're smokin' your cigar
it's so bizarre you think you are a new kind of James Dean
but the only thing I've ever seen of you was a commercial spot on the screen
Moviestar oh moviestar you think you are a movie
moviestar oh moviestar you think you are a movie star ah
You should belong to the jet-set fly your own private lear jet
but you worked in a grocery-store every day
until you could afford to get away
so you went to Sweden to meet Ingmar Bergman
he wasn't there or he just didn't care
I think it's time for you my friend to stop pretending that you are
Moviestar oh moviestar you think you are a movie
moviestar oh moviestar you think you are a movie star ah
Frozen hero your words are zero
and your dreams have vanished into dark
a long ago but you don't want to know
Moviestar oh moviestar you think you are a movie
moviestar oh moviestar you think you are a movie
moviestar oh moviestar you think you are a movie star ah

Maybe that I am blind
maybe that I won't find
The signs within my mind
maybe that I am blind
Maybe that I am blind
maybe that I won't find
The signs within my mind
maybe that I am blind
We'll hope my heart is burning
that's so good I will be learning
The Secrets how to live to take and to give.
Temptation's and desire
my world is like a fire
In magic circles
the earth is slowly turning
I'm looking
I'm searching
I read my horoscope
I'm looking
I'm searching
I read my horoscope
Maybe that I am blind
Maybe that I won't find
The signs within my mind
There ain't no communication
but I'm trying to make it
There's a world of gloss and I'm trying to break it
With my tiny little hands I'm building castles in the sand
I'm only one of the Lost generation
I'm looking
I'm searching . . .
Maybe that I am blind
maybe that I won't find . . .
I don't know why or if I'm going for
But I look to the sky and I follow my star
I'm looking at the space through my kaleidoscope
And ev'ry day I read my horoscope
I´m looking
I´m searching
