Cover art for The Stars lyrics by Patrick Wolf

"i remember getting lost on the way back from the last show, somewhere in the south of england, stepping off the tour bus in the middle of nowhere, thinking 'what are we doing here? i want to see my family, my friends,' and, exasperated, i lifted my face to the night sky and for the first time in months, i saw the stars. you know when you've been so busy, just keeping your eyes fixed on the road in front of you and suddenly it stops? it's my family's favourite, but for people listening it is different. they have their own moments. when i played 'stars' to my mum, she thought it was about the time when we were six - or at least, i was six, she wasn't - and we were out in the countryside and saw a shooting star. and that's my mum. people who don't know me at all will place different virtues and memories on things that i write."
