when all your doing is looking at me
chastise me for my behaviour
it's gonna last too long
and what i am now but your reaction
i'm all those memories you tried to steal
this war will never be over
gonna last too long
you're still a fucker x3
to me (you know)
lucifer cried when you looked at me
and the heaven's rained down on your acid face
what is left now that it's over
shouldn't last too long
and it feels so real and it feels so real
but it's all the same it is all the same what a life x2
and i believe i belong nowhere
maybe there are win-ners (but i'm) always used
everythings
hard to discover when it lasts too long
you're still a fucker to me
Glorious Pop Song
Skunk Anansie's 'Glorious Pop Song' stands as a defining track from the British electronic act's discography, blending dancehall rhythms with a distinct pop sensibility. Released during a period where the group was refining their signature fusion of reggae, dancehall, and electronic elements, the recording captures the energy and social consciousness that characterized their work in the late 1990s. The song serves as a testament to Anansie's ability to merge rhythmic complexity with melodic hooks, creating an anthem that resonated within the UK dance scene. It reflects the era's broader cultural shift toward incorporating political commentary into mainstream pop music, delivered with the group's characteristic vocal intensity and production style.
