Glass Houses lyrics translation: JON ENGLISH Glass Houses song texte and letras JON ENGLISH Glass Houses tab, paroles and testo JON ENGLISH Glass Houses Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
Born - in forty-nine
Part of a long-long line of roses and wine
And we wore clouds of thread and we buried our dead
The future was mine, or so they said
And late - in sixty-five
Underneath sun and skies, hearin` words from wise, some dowers
Teaching the past, through a rose coloured glass
Said the Fenix will rise, from the ashes at last
And build glass houses with ivory towers
On streets paved with gold, where we`ll never grow old
And old glass houses and ivory towers
Are not what they seem, they`re fragile as dreams
And oh - seventy-one
They were handin` out boots and guns to some mother`s son
But seventy-eight, they said sorry, but we made a mistake
Time for some fun, ooh ain`t life grea-eat
In tall glass houses with ivory towers
The beaches are gold and we`ll never grow old
And old glass houses, ivory towers
There fragile as dreams, but never what they see-eem
You know, now-a-days, you go to town
There`s glass all arou-ound
And they`re still building towers
And they`re buried deep in the grou-ou-ou-ou-ound
A travesty, starin` at me-ee
Old glass houses, ivory towers
They flash like a sun, from every one
We live in glass houses with ivory towers
Protecting our gold and we`re all growin` old
