Superstar

You're in the spotlight and there's a shadow hanging over your head.
They're gonna pull tight until they find the supply under your bed.
There's nothing to stay for but plenty to play for instead.
You left the queen out. Seven Sundays in heaven on your plain.
Turning them green, shout and be forever never clever by name.
The cage may be broken but until you've spoken you're sane.
Because you've got no reason to bring it down now.
You're on a one way ticket from your home town now.
Cos you're a superstar.
It's not a question but more of a state of mind.
Just a suggestion that we might be two of a kind.
There's plenty to stay for, a life left to play for this time.
Because you've got no reason to bring it down now.
You're on a one way ticket from your home town now.
Cos you're a superstar.

Gotta Feel It

I feel emotion, troubles in my head.
I heard the word was that she's in somebody else's bed.
You know I've heard it before.
Fifteen excuses queue behind my door.
May be mistaken taking words you say for true.
Just don't believe that I'm naive, you play me through.
Cos you know you gotta feel it.
Ah yeah, you gotta feel it.
I close my eyes take time to realise.
Faith in belief can stem relief, don't need to fantasize.
I'm getting off upon the days I spend.
Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk my friend.
Sunshine and drinking wine is well and fine for you.
I'm happy here with beats and beer, they see me through.
Cos you know you gotta feel it.
Ah yeah, you gotta feel it.
Ah yeah, you gotta feel it.
You know you gotta feel it.

Another Day

I've taken out my book for a second look. Yes I try.
For though we may be few, we'll say we never knew. We can't fly.
But there's the same man living in a different world and he's happy.
And his name can be written with a different word as he's sat behind another game plan.
But I can't take it, if I fake it, then my heart won't sing in tune.
Just one minute, then I'm in it, I feel time has passed too soon.
If I told you could I hold you, maybe take you far away?
I only want to find a better reason for another day.
If no one man could swim, then who would rescue him if drowned?
Because when I pass you by, the world it spins then I come round.
But there's the same man living in a different world and he's mellow.
And his game plan revolves around a different word, he's just a fellow with another name.
But I can't take it, if I fake it, then my heart won't sing in tune.
Just one minute, then I'm in it, I feel time has passed too soon.
If I told you could I hold you, maybe take you far away?
I only want to find a better reason for another day.
And when I find the light turned on, I'll ease my state of mind.
Until I find the light I'll stay behind.
