Glitter Years Lyrics


Denny was workin' it real hard
Down Sunset Boulevard
Back in 1973
Why would he bother going home?
His parents left him on his own
Who knows, maybe they were out gettin' stonedI don't really know
How we survived the glitter years?
What did we do it all for?
(Aaa)
Do you remember the glitter years?
(Aaa)(Ooo)
We were the lost and lonely ones
We hid in the discotheques all night long
'Till we could see the morning sun
(Aaa)
Denny was king, he'd rock the place
(Aaa)
Dressed like a working girl from outer space

(Aaa)
He was dancing like he wanted to dance his life awayI don't really know
How we survived the glitter years?
What did we do it all for?
(Aaa)
Do you remember the glitter years?
(Aaa)In December of '74
Denny wrecked his father's car
Drivin' home that night he was singin'
(Singin')
You better hang on to yourself
You better hang on to yourselfI don't really know
How we survived the glitter years?
(Aaa)
I don't really know
(Aaa)
I don't really know
(Aaa)(Surprise)
I don't really know
(Aaa)
How we survived the glitter years?
(Aaa)
I don't really know
(Aaa)
(Aaa aaa)(Surprise)
I don't really know
(Aaa)
And I don't wanna be
(Aaa)
I don't really know
(Aaa)
(Aaa)

The Bangles were one of the new generation of independent all-women bands that followed The Go-Go's in the early 1980s. Consisting of Susanna Hoffs (guitar, vocals), Debbi Peterson (drums, vocals), sister Vicki Peterson (guitar, vocals,) and Annette Zilinskas, who was later replaced by Michael Steele, (bass, vocals). The band was formed in Los Angeles in 1981 as The Supersonic Bangs, later shortened to The Bangs. They were forced to change their name to the Bangles when a band from New Jersey, also named the Bangs, threatened to sue. The single 'Manic Monday', written by Prince launched their international career. After 3 successful albums ("All Over The Place", "Different Light" and "Everything"), The Bangles broke up.
Susanna Hoffs released two solo albums in the 90's (a third album remained unreleased). Vicki Peterson joined the Continental Drifters. Debbie Peterson had a short-lived career with Siobhan Maher as Kindred Spirit, while Michael Steele lived in semi-retirement in California.

The Bangles reconvened in 2000 and recorded a reunion album, released in 2003, on Koch Records called "Doll Revolution". By lucky coincidence(?) their single 'Eternal Flame' had since been covered by, and become a hit record for, Atomic Kitten which helped to rekindle interest in its original artist.

"Sweetheart of the Sun," The Bangles first album of original material since "Doll Revolution" was released September 27, 2011. The Anna Lee (Sweetheart Of The Sun) Songfacts states that the album was recorded in various home studios - those of Vicki Peterson and Susanna Hoffs as well as the Hollywood Hills home studio of singer-songwriter Matthew Sweet, who produced the record.
