  • SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR - A Suburban Philosophy (Book only)

    Sportsman Of The Year - A Suburban Philosophy is Jan Hellriegel's 4th studio album, with a unique twist: it is also a beautifully produced book with photos and 12 chapters based on the new songs. She describes Sportsman of the Year as a ‘musical in a book’. The book grew out of her album project when Jan realised the songs were taking a more philosophical, personal direction. She decided to share some stories in parallel with the music, each informed by the other. Includes access to high quality music files. Jan says Sportsman of the Year is about finally arriving at a place where she can look back at failures, disappointments and rejections with a sense of accomplishment and pride, knowing that without them she wouldn't be doing what she is today. It is about following your dreams, and never giving up.

lyrics

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