Oh The Glamour - Radio Edit Version

from Oh The Glamour by Alex Seel

lyrics

She's found herself among the stars
But her hesitation’s turned to doubt
Through that crowd surrounded round her
I heard that hidden scream and shout
For to blend into the herd with time to kill
Would seem so pleasant to her now
Oh on the other sides sunny hill
In greener grass where time allows

Well she said…
One friend’s a seamstress
Another one’s a cook
They’re all doing alright on
The other paths they took

She could've made different choices
She'd better change her sail
Coz if this is sweet success
Why’s she only feel she failed?

In childhood dreams were spoon fed to her
Now's come her time to act
To please her parents not herself
The disappointment's now a fact
A little scared of standing on her own feet
Ignoring pressure from her peers
She'll know so much more about herself
When the wind's dried those passing tears

Now she dreams of wandering
Off this beaten trail
Far from airbrushed billboards
Whose smiles have turned stale

She could've made different choices
She'd better change her sail
Coz if this is sweet success
She only feels she failed

She craved attention wrapped around her
Now seems her phone's been hacked
Once dreamed a fairy-tale ending
Now cannot leave with her face intact
No amount of makeup can disguise it
So much paranoia to conceal
That glossy magazine and those who buy it
It’s her dignity they steal

She said…
One friend was a seamstress
Another one a cook
They’re all doing alright on
The other paths they took

She could've made different choices
She'd better change her sail
Coz if this is sweet success
She only feels she failed

Now she dreams of wandering so far
Off this beaten trail
Far from airbrushed billboards
Whose smiles have turned stale

She could've made different choices
She'd gonna change her sail
Coz if this is sweet success
She only feels she failed?
