background
Oddly the band considered Glittering Prize to be the runt of the New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) litter. Derek once mentioned to Charlie that he'd heard a Muzak version in a London supermarket. The guitarist was surprised: "God, it's bad enough when we do it."

Despite the band's feelings towards the track, it was selected as the second single from the set, appearing in the single's chart just before the release of the album.

"In the summer of '82, the UK pop charts were seemingly awash with very new and innovative pop songs all written by young artists, many of whom were destined for bigger things. Glittering Prize is among that collection" - Jim

"Last week we were in Holland rehearsing the tour. And I came in a wee bit late as usual. (Lead singers are allowed to be late). And I came in as the band were playing Glittering Prize - obviously without me. And I just heard the track in a way I'd never heard it before and it sounded fantastic. And it struck me that it was a much better pop song than I ever knew it was. And I was really, really delighted. And it's one of the songs I'm really looking forward to playing on the tour." - Jim, Sunday Herald interview, 2008.


lyrics
Shine on, shine the light on me,
In all of my life so that much more I see.
In the light of his love, In the light of reflection,
Oh what a world,
Or sometimes oh so it seems.
Eyes in the skies,
In that silver gift friendship,
A glittering prize,
Is it the prize of lost loves.

They can remember quiet sides of midnight,
They can remember the attraction of fame,
Like a glittering prize,
I saw up on a clear day,
First taking hearts,
Then our last breath away.

Always came a time - time was on our side,
We were spending time - we were staring out,
Catch me in a dream - Captured all in heart,
We were spending time - we were staring out,
Could there ever be - ever more than one?
It's called an act of love,
Can you you never stop?

Shine on, shine the light on me,
In all of my life, so much more I see.
Like a glittering prize,
I saw you up on a clear day.
First taking heart, then our last breath away.

Only on a clear day, coming into our lives.

See it in the eye - satellite skies,
We were spending time - we were staring out,
Take in, take in more - the endless breath away,
We were spending time - we were staring out,
Could there ever be - ever more than one?
It's called an act of love,
Can you you never stop?

Always on a clear day,
Crashing into our lives,
Is it the price of love,
Like a glittering prize.
Always on a clear day,
Crashing into our lives,
With your love,
Only on a clear day.
