lirik lagu nina simone – stars (live at montreux)
stars, they come and go, they come fast, they come slow
they go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
and all you see is glory, but it gets lonely there
when there’s no one there to share, you can shake it away
if you’ll hear a story
people l~st for fame like athletes in a game
they break their collarbones and come up swinging
some of them are crowned, some of them are downed
some are lost and never found
but most have seen it all
they live their lives in sad cafés and music halls
and they always have a story
some make it when they’re young
before the world has done its dirty job
and later on someone will say, “you’ve had your day
now you must make way” (don’t they always?)
but you’ll never know the pain of using a name you never owned
the years of forgetting what you know too well
that you who gave the crown have been let down, you try to make amends
without defending, perhaps
pretending
you never saw the eyes of young men at twenty~five
who followed as you walked and asked for autographs
kissed you on the cheek and you never could believe they really loved you, never
some make it when they’re old
perhaps they have a soul they aren’t afraid to bare
perhaps there’s nothing there
but anyway that isn’t what i meant to say, i meant to tell about a story
since we all have stories
but i can’t remember it anyway
so i’ll tell about the mood that’s in the united states today
and permeating even switzerland
it goes
but i’ll continue anyway until i get it together
some women have a body men would want to see
and so they put it on display, some people play a fine guitar
i could listen to them play all day
but anyway, i’m trying to tell my story
janis ian told it very well
janis joplin told it even better
billie holiday even told it even better
we always, we always, we always have a story
the latest story that i know is the one that i’m supposed to go out with
and the latest story that i know is the one that i’m supposed to go out with
and the latest story that i know is the one that i’m supposed to go out with
and the latest story that i know is the one that i’m supposed to go out with
