Glitter
Rafferty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it back for the weekend
(?) and angels calling our name
(?)
Is got me wounded
On something so close to steal out reach
You are all of me
Glitter, in the dark
You got stuck to me like the sky and the stars
Glitter, my desire
Burning so bright I got lost in the fire
Stuck to me, stuck to me, stuck to me
Hey, it's not leaving
I'm stuck with the feeling
You'll never shine for my eyes only
Lost in my arms, (?)
I found you out on the wrong side of love
You (?) all of me, I'm falling, falling
Glitter, in the dark
You got stuck to me like the sky and stars
Glitter, my desire, Burning so bright I got lost in the fire
Stuck to me, stuck to me, stuck to me
I swear, stuck to me, stuck to me
You lose my mind when you are-
Stuck to me stuck to me
You are all I see and everything about you's everything I need
Oh glitter
Glitter, in the dark
You got stuck to me like the sky and stars
Glitter, my desire, burning so bright I got lost in the fire
(Glitter) when it all comes down there's nothing coming change my mind (Glitter) when it all comes down you are the? and silver lines
(Glitter) when it all comes down I can't get you off my mind
Burning so bright we get lost in the fire
Rafferty's song Glitter is a love song that speaks of how much the singer is hooked to their lover. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that they are leaving, and as they do so, they refer to their loved one as a companion, an angel calling out their name. They then profess their love, saying that their lover is all they see and everything they need, and that they are stuck together like the sky and stars. The chorus is an ode to the love between the two, with the lyrics "Glitter, my desire, Burning so bright I got lost in the fire, Stuck to me, stuck to me, stuck to me." The song ends with the singer acknowledging that their love can't be shaken off, and they get lost in the fire of their emotions.

Hey, we're leaving
Is it back for the weekend?
Her eyes are angels calling our name
This desert sky has got me wondering
How something so close is still out of reach
You are all of me
You are all that I see
Glitter, in the dark
You got stuck to me like the sky and the stars
Glitter, my desire
Burning so bright I got lost in the fire
Stuck to me, stuck to me, stuck to me
Hey, it's not leaving
I'm stuck with the feeling
You'll never shine for my eyes only
Lost in my arms, laid out in diamonds
I found you out on the wrong side of love
You [?] all of me
For you I'm falling, falling
Glitter, in the dark
You got stuck to me like the sky and stars
Glitter, my desire
Burning so bright I got lost in the fire
Stuck to me, stuck to me, stuck to me
I swear, stuck to me, stuck to me
I lose my mind when you are
Stuck to me, stuck to me
You are all I see
And everything about you's everything I shouldn't need
Oh, glitter
Glitter, in the dark
You got stuck to me like the sky and stars
Glitter, my desire
Burning so bright I got lost in the fire
(Glitter)
When it all comes down there's nothing gonna change my mind (Glitter)
When it all comes down you are the queen in silver lines
(Glitter)
When it all comes down I can't get you off my mind
Burning so bright we get lost in the fire
