Yes. I don’t recall the original version. This is the version that I remember:

Thanks. I didn’t know there was a preceding version of Heart Of Glass. I think this shows the difference a slick production can make.

Once I had a loss and it hurts my @$$
Power turned out to be a thing of the past
News said I’m real thing, only to find much o’ mistrust
Bribe’s gone behind

I won as Senator and it was divine
Folks found out I was losing my mind
Acted like a tyrant and hoped they were blind
Much o’ mistrust

Gifts gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing and
I’m feeling fine Loss is so confusing,
there’s no peace of mind

If I fear I’m losing votes
It’s just no good, me lying like I do
Once I had a loss and it hurts my @$$
Perks turned out to be a thing of the past

Seemed like the real thing,
only to find much o’ mistrust
Wealth’s gone behind
Lost inside

Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
You’re the one I’m using you can’t push me aside
We coulda made it crushing yeah
Yeah, riding high on cash’s true greenish light

Once I had a loss and my lies won’t pass
Losing turned out to be a pain in the @$$
Faked like I’m real thing, only to find much o’ mistrust
Graft’s gone behind

I remember seeing her on MTV in ‘80 or ‘81, I think. WOW, mesmerizing closeups.
