about

“We wrote this song when we were all quite new to Glasgow and felt inspired by the body confident women we saw throughout the city in the Summer around the time of the TRNSMT music festival. Glittery Bums is our ode to these women of Glasgow; their confidence, their beauty and the way they stand up for themselves.” – The Sistas

lyrics

-------------------------
Can you hear the drums?
Here they come
The glittery bums
In the neon sun, the neon sun

Bouncy bums with a sequin strut
Tangerine tums, tut tut tut
Neon humps in the summer sun,
Your cinnamon buns got us all undone, done, done, done
Got us all undone, done, done, done

Can you hear the drums?
Here they come
The glittery bums
In the neon sun, the neon sun

Shorty shorts with dramatic eyes
Sun is up full of pretty lies
Hair flicks in the dancing heat
No cares in the world, living proud and free, free, free, free
Livin’ proud and free, free, free, free

Can you hear the drums?
Here they come
The glittery bums
In the neon sun, the neon sun

Put your shades on
It’s a city invasion
A peacock procession
Of proud imperfection

Can you hear the drums?
Here they come
The glittery bums
In the neon sun, the neon sun
