Stella marie you're my star
Stella marie you're my star
Stand on ground look up at her
Just hanging in gold stone
Just hanging there face froze
But I think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Go, go, go
Go go
Stella marie you're my star
In your blue blue tavern
You'll light my lantern
O stella's large
*Pink on her face
*It's glowing this place
A place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Go, go, go
Go go go go
Stella marie you're my star
I pin you to my chest
Sell you to the rest
I kiss her gown
Send those angels down to woo me now
I think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Go, go, go
Go go
Go, go, go
Go go
Go, go, go
Go go
Stand on ground look up at her
Just hanging in gold stone
Just hanging there face froze
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Go, go, go
Go go
In your blue blue tavern
You'll light my lantern
O stella's large
*Pink on her face
*It's glowing this place
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Go, go, go
Go go go go
I pin you to my chest
Sell you to the rest
I kiss her gown
Send those angels down to woo me now
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Go, go, go
Go go
Go, go, go
Go go
Go, go, go
Go go

Stella Maria has some catholic releavnce (I'm not sure about the full story behind it) but from this song it seems Stella Maria was meant to be a saint of something, hence the gold wall hanging, and something PJ can pin to her chest (cameo). Stella Maria is latin for 'star of the sea' or 'star of mary'.
it's believe it's "pink almond face". and it's quite obviously "i face my heroes only".
not sure about the meaning. it appears to be a typical bar ballad. a fun song. probably some religious signifigance in the name as well, as was already noted.
gosh, how stupid of me:
on second thought... this song must be about a PAINTING that is hanging in a blue blue tavern. my mistake.
My friend's name is Maria Stella, but she likes to be called Stella. I always say this song is about her, but she hates it. How anyone could hate PJ Harvey, I don't know, but she's weird.
Obviously about an icon hanging somewhere, probably in a church or something.
Is it not Stella Maris? Stella Maris is Latin for star of the sea and a title for the virgin Mary.
She has a kind of fake tone to her voice when praising Stella so it might be talking about people who just fake religion and still hope to be sent angels.
'stella marie you're my star' is a line from 'streetcar named desire', it was repeated by the main character few times.
To Stella
Thou gazest on the stars, my star! Ah! would that I might be Myself those skies with myriad eyes, That I might gaze on thee.
