Races Lyrics


Well I win some races
That don't mean I'm fastest
And it don't mean I'm better
Than anyone
And I ride some horses
With great speed over courses
It's just cause you ain't here
For me at the line
[Hook]Cause for you I could win
For you I could trust myself
And for you I could throw with abandon
Old glories all feign to the wind
Cause I never left you
And you never let me go
Oh
And if I can have the glory
I'd give it up gladly

Oh how we sucked in the limelight
And left best friends behind
Will you come walk beside me
To the end of this story
And I'll let you go gently
Among your own kind, oh
[Hook]For you I will win
For you I will trust myself
For you I should throw with abandon
Old glories are everything to the wind
Cause I never left you
And you never let me go
And I never left you
And you never let me go

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Vocalist and guitarist for Irish rock group The Frames. Hansard quit school at age 13 to begin busking on local Dublin streets. He first came to public attention as guitar player 'Outspan Foster' in the Alan Parker film The Commitments, a role he subsequently regretted, believing it distracted from his music career. In 2003 he presented the first series of Other Voices: Songs from a Room, which showcased Irish music talent on RTÉ. He released The Swell Season, his first solo album, on April 21st 2006, in collaboration with a Czech singer and multiinstrumentalist Markéta Irglová, Marja Tuhkanen and Bertrand Galen.

Glen recently starred in the movie 'Once' alongside Markéta Irglová which won a prestigious Sundance Audience Award in 2007, as well as the 2008 Academy Award for Best Originial Song (for "Falling Slowly"), beating out three songs from the Disney musical "Enchanted" and one song from "August Rush" (both were heavy contenders). Its Irish release took place on 23rd March 2007 and appeared in cinemas further afield later in the year.

Glen's latest album, Rhythm and Repose, was released in June 2012.
