Stars In Their Eyes Lyrics - Overtones - Just Jack

They'll be making sure you stay amused 

They'll fill you up with drugs and booze 

Maybe you'll make the evenin' news 

And when you're trippin' over your dreams 

They'll keep you down by any means 

By the end of the night 

You'll be stiflin' your screams 

Since you became a V.I. Person 

It's like your problems have all worsened 

Your paranoia casts aspersions 

On the truths you know 

And they'll just put you in a spotlight 

And hope that you'll do alright 

Or maybe not 

Now why do you wanna go 

And put starz in their eyes? 

Why do you wanna go 

And put starz in their eyes? 

So why do you wanna go 

And put starz in their eyes? 

Now why do you wanna go 

And put starz in their eyes? 

Starz in their eyes 

Remember they said you'd show them all 

Emphasize the rise but not the fall 

And now you're playin' a shoppin' mall 

Your mum and dad, they can't believe 

What you appear to have achieved 

While the rest of these users 

Are just laughin' in their sleeves 

Since you became a V.I. Person 

It's like your problems have all worsened 

Your paranoia casts aspersions 

On the truths you know 

And now the tabloids use your face 

To document your fall from grace 

And then they'll tell you that 

That's just the way it goes 

That's just the way it goes 

Now why do you wanna go 

And put starz in their eyes? 

It's the same old story 

Well they just didn't realize 

And it's a long way to come 

From the dog and duck karaoke machine 

And Saturday night's drunken dreams 

Now why do you wanna go 

And put starz in their eyes? 

It's the same old story 

Well, they just didn't realize 

And it's a long way to come 

From your private bedroom dance routines 

And Saturday night's drunken dreams 

Now why do you wanna go 

And put starz in their eyes? 

Why do you wanna go 

And put starz in their eyes? 

So why do you wanna go 

And put starz in their eyes? 

Now why do you wanna go 

And put starz in their eyes? 

Starz in their eyes? 

Now why do you wanna go 

And put starz in their eyes? 

It's the same old story 

Well, they just didn't realize 

And it's a long way to come 

From the dog and duck karaoke machine 

Saturday night's drunken dreams 

When I grow up I'm goin' to be famous 

Behind the steel barrier, sequence and glitter 

Five inch heels still knee deep in the litter 

Each of them a bitter bullshitter 

Wrapped up in the cloak of fake glamor 

Gettin' lost in the camera 

Well, footprints are fool's gold 

And diamonds crust their glitz on their one off plimsolls 

So little time for these one off arseholes 

Rigor mortis Ken and Barbie dolls 

A pair of big shades and a push up bra 

It's such a short gap between the gutter and stars 

But you've come a long way from the place that you started 

So why'd you wanna go and get so down hearted 

Welcome to the kingdom of the blagger 

Uncuttin' your nose, clean coat in your bladder 

A whole lot happier, a whole lot sadder 

Used to be satisfied, now you feel like Mick Jagger 

Now why do you wanna go 

And put starz in their eyes? 

It's the same old story 

Well they just didn't realize 

And it's a long way to come 

From the dog and duck karaoke machine 

Saturday night's drunken dreams 

Now why do you wanna go 

And put starz in their eyes? 

It's the same old story 

Well they just didn't realize 

And it's a long way to come 

From your private bedroom dance routines 

And Saturday night's drunken dreams
