Clare Bowditch and the New Slang – Stars

All you wanted was one little line of stars, stars
All you wanted was one little line of stars, stars
Stars - you light the morning sky
Stars don't sit there asking "Why?"
What you wanted was somebody who knew what it is you are going through

You wanted to be Bob Dylan
You wanted to be Nina Simone
Yeah, but you were awfully scared of going to bed alone
Took all your tea to China
Baby you just gave it away
Now he's walking out the door with nothing more to say

Stars - you light the morning sky
Stars don't sit there asking "Why?"
What you wanted was somebody who knew what it is you are going through

You could've had him, called him out to the crowd
To the crowd
Could've had him: said his name out loud
To...
Could've had him: said his name out loud
To,
You could've had him: said his name out loud
To,
The crowd
The crowd
The crowd

All you wanted was one old friend
