Everybody's A Star (Starmaker) Lyrics
I am a creator,
Inventor and innovator
I observe the people
The ordinary people
No matter what your occupation is
Everybody's in showbiz
'Cos I'm a Star (gonna make you a star)
And I can make you a Star (gonna make you a star)
I believe that everybody's a celebrity
And we've all got personality and individuality
We all read lines and we all act a part
We all need a script and an audience to play to
No matter what you do or who you are
Everybody's a star
I'm the magic maker
I'm the image maker
I'm the interior decorator
I can take any man I see standing in the road
And put rouge on his cheeks and put some powder on his nose
I'll teach him how to act, I'll remould and reshape him
I'll put him in a stage suit and I'll teach him how to pose
I can turn the most ordinary man in the world into a star
I'm a starmaker (gonna make you a star),
Yes, I'm gonna make you a star (gonna make you a star)
No matter how dull or simple you are
Everybody's a star
I'm the magic maker,
I'm the image maker,
I can make or break you
I'm a star maker (gonna make you a star)
Yes, I'm gonna make you a star (gonna make you a star)
Gonna make you a star
'Cos everybody's a star
Inventor and innovator
I observe the people
The ordinary people
No matter what your occupation is
Everybody's in showbiz
And I can make you a Star (gonna make you a star)
And we've all got personality and individuality
We all read lines and we all act a part
We all need a script and an audience to play to
No matter what you do or who you are
Everybody's a star
I'm the image maker
I'm the interior decorator
And put rouge on his cheeks and put some powder on his nose
I'll teach him how to act, I'll remould and reshape him
I'll put him in a stage suit and I'll teach him how to pose
Yes, I'm gonna make you a star (gonna make you a star)
No matter how dull or simple you are
Everybody's a star
I'm the image maker,
I can make or break you
I'm a star maker (gonna make you a star)
Yes, I'm gonna make you a star (gonna make you a star)
Gonna make you a star
'Cos everybody's a star

He's the Starmaker.
He thinks very highly of himself, as he can make the dullest person a star.
He assumes godlikeness because of his success with his qualities.
Now he is challenging fate.

One of the more obscure songs by the Kinks, tho it was used for a TV ad c. 2015. Some of the melody is copped from the Who's "I Can't Explain". This was likely a 'tit-for-tat' choice on the part of the Kinks, as the debut Who single was clearly influenced by "You Really Got Me".
