Patti Smith @ Olympia Paris 21.11.11
GLORIA:

Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine
meltin' in a pot of thieves
wild card up my sleeve
slick heart of stone
my sins my own
they belong to me, me

people say, "beware!"
but I don't care
the words are just
rules and regulations to me, me

I-I walk in a room, you know I look so proud
I'm movin' in this here atmosphere, where anything's allowed
and I go to this here party and I just get bored
until I look out the window, see a sweet young girl
humpin' on the parking meter, leanin' on the parking meter
oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
and I got this crazy feeling and then I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine
ooh I'll put my spell on her

here she comes
walkin' down the street
here she comes
comin' through my door
here she comes
crawlin' up my stair
here she comes
waltzin' through the hall
in a pretty red dress
and oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
and I got this crazy feeling that I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine

and then I hear this knockin' on my door
hear this knockin' on my door
and I look up into the big tower clock
and say, "oh my God it's midnight!"
and my baby is walkin' through the door
leanin' on my couch
she whispers to me and I take the big plunge
and oh, she was so good and oh, she was so fine
and I'm gonna tell the world
that I just ah-ah made her mine and I said, "darlin' --

Tell me you're mine" - she told me "you're mine"
she whispered to me, she told me "you're mine"
Then the nightmare, then the nightmare,
then the nightmare, then the nightmare - G-L-O-R-I-A
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria

And there at the stadium
There were twenty thousand girls tried to make love to me
Marie, and Ruth, but to tell you the truth
I didn't hear them, I didn't see
I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock
and I heard those bells chimin', made my heart go
ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong.
ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong

Do you remember the time, when I came to your room
when you whispered to me, when you took the big plunge
and ohhh, you were so good, oh, you were so fine
and I gotta tell the world that I made you mine made you mine
made you mine made you mine made you mine made you mine

G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria

and the tower bells chime,
and the tower bells chime, they're singing,
"Jesus died for somebody's sins ... but not mine."

Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A,
Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A, G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria .
