About this listen

They say you should never meet your heroes. But that isn't always true.

"I realise that things are pretty good right now and although I know there will always be trials and tribulations which accompany life, today I just say 'phew!'" - Jan Hellriegel, 2019.

FOR THE LOVE OF GLORY

I have trekked across the Tundra

And wrestled in Japan.

Sailed around The Horn

And raced the Isle of Man.

And it's all following you.

Crossing desert plains on barefoot

I discovered Noah's Ark.

I worked 10,000 hours, left my family cold and dark.

And it's all following you.

Oh for the love of Glory, she is such an elusive Queen.

Oh for the love of Glory, she will lick the damage clean.

I have acted out in stadiums

And made them beg for more.

Humiliated lovers

Smeared their hearts across the floor.

And it's all following you.

I have desecrated temples

And I've told a thousand lies.

I've sacked and burned and pillaged

And I've left good men to die.

And it's all following you.

Oh for the love of Glory, she is such an elusive Queen.

Oh for the love of Glory, she will lick the damage clean.

I have lied and stolen, cheated

Made them get down on their knees.

Eliminated rivals, left them twisting in a tree.

All for the love of you.

Oh for the Love of Glory, she is such an elusive Queen.

Oh for the love of Glory, she will lick the damage clean.
