| Just Jack – Starz In Their Eyes Lyrics | 19 years ago |

''They'll be making sure you stay amused They'll fill you up with drugs and booze Maybe you'll make the evening news'' I think it means the celebrities management/agency...they are trying to set the VIP up in the beginning so they screw lots of stuff up- with alcohol etc, in order to get press attention. ''And when you're tripping over your dreams They'll keep you down by any means and by the end of the night you'll be stifling your screams'' The VIP can't believe their luck, they have fame, their dreams are coming true, but really people are trying to kick them down and things aren't so good. ''Since you became a VIPerson It's like your problems have all worsened Your paranoia casts aspersions On the truths you know'' The VIP thought life would be good, but after being set up...their problems have actually got worse. ''And they'll just put you in the spotlight And hope that you'll do alright Or maybe not'' Meaning they don't really care, they just want to make a bit of cash out of you. ''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?'' I think that is aimed at the people who set up the celebrities, for example, managers, agents, judges on shows like 'Pop Idol'. ''Remember they said you'd show them all Emphasise the rise but not the fall And now you're playing a shopping mall'' Probably things they said to the VIP before they became famous, how you would show everyone. They talked about the rise but not the fall. The shopping mall part probably means they aren't quite as famous anymore after being kicked down. ''Your mum and dad they can't believe What you appear to have achieved While the rest of these users are just laughing in their sleeves'' The parents are taking it at face value and think their child is doing really well, doing something with their lives. I think the 'users' bit has something to do with drugs...perhaps a lot of people where the famous person has come from has turned to drugs? Who knows? ''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'' The tabloids still write about how the person isn't doing so well for themselves and that it's tough luck as they didn't HAVE to be famous. |
