Stars Lyrics
The air was more than human
And the heat was more than hungry
And the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes
The boars were running wild
Because they're big and mean and sacred
And the children playing cricket with no shoes
That morning we woke up man
To a seven-hour drive
Well there we were in South Batong
Where women are men and men go wrong
And there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm
Man and there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm
The officials were quite friendly
Once we bribed them with our sweet talk
And we drowned them with our cigarettes and booze
Disembarking from the port
With no mistakes of any sort
Moving south the engine running smooth
The next morning we woke up man
With the sunrise to the right well
Moving back north to Port Blair
Where boats break and children stare
And there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm
Man and there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven
And the heat was more than hungry
And the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes
The boars were running wild
Because they're big and mean and sacred
And the children playing cricket with no shoes
To a seven-hour drive
Well there we were in South Batong
Where women are men and men go wrong
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm
Man and there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm
Once we bribed them with our sweet talk
And we drowned them with our cigarettes and booze
Disembarking from the port
With no mistakes of any sort
Moving south the engine running smooth
With the sunrise to the right well
Moving back north to Port Blair
Where boats break and children stare
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm
Man and there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven

"there were so many fewer questions, when stars were still just the holes to heaven" shoot, nobody can argue with that. this song rocks.
damn, i wanted to be the one to quote that! (: I'm in love with that line, if not the whole song.
is there only one shitty version of this song? the music is awesome and all... but GOD, it's horrible to listen to. my version is all scratchy and icky. but i LOVE that line too :)
i want!! where can I get this song??
jack johnson sure likes his mmm's
i got this song on WinMX and it's good quality. check it out!
Well, i love jack johnson, so i was wondering why there are so many of his songs that are up here and not available on a cd. were thye on an old independant release cd thats not available anymore or something?
Alot of his songs arent available on cd, but he plays them all live. So if you check out the site FURTHERNET.NET, you are able to download his whole concerts. This site is completly legal, because they only put shows on the site that are released for TAPERS. So check it out, then you will be able to get the total appreciation for good ol jack johnson!!!
This song reminds me of childhood and simplicity...
but I have one more thing to add about the line.
"there were so many fewer question when stars were just the holes to heaven."
I feel as if that line is so full of yearning, not only for the simplicity of childhoo, but also for the innocence and naivete. When you're a kid.. you can look at those stars, and truly believe that they are the holes to heaven. But as an adult, you look at them, and realize they're balls of gas, just burning in outer space... Takes all the fun out of it. Growing up takes the fun out of a lot of things, eh?
The song is sort of like growing up, on this journey through life from South Batong to Port Blair. Btw, Where is south batong?
