Everyone's A Star

Download available from

From an acoustic set recorded in August 1971 at Newcastle Mayfair Ballroom with Mott the Hoople. Another fantastic band, but they didn't achieve real success until the following year when they released the David Bowie song All The Young Dudes. It was to be their biggest hit record and launched them into super stardom. This came just in time because the guys were very close to splitting up when we met them.

We like to think they may have taken some encouragement from our song lyrics "Everyone's a star - everybody's somebody's guiding light, no matter who you are". But then again, maybe not.

Now you know that losers can never win

You don't want to walk that road again
Standing on the outside

Looking in
Up against the bar

Never doing right, always going wrong
Waited for the light but it never shone
Always had to fight just to get along
But didn't get too far

Everyone's a star
Everyone's a star
Everybody's somebody's guiding light
No matter who you are

Feeling all alone when you're in a crowd

Talking to yourself as you think aloud

Want to do some good

Just to make them proud

So you try to win their war

Flying in a straight line, looking back

Trying to get the best out of what you lack

Dying to put your real life back on track

And still you bear the scar

Everyone's a star

Everyone's a star
Everybody's somebody's guiding light
No matter who you are

Will you ever find what you're looking for?

You can't keep your mind on it anymore

If you weren't so blind

Then you'd know for sure

But life is so bizarre

Thinking being nobody is a crime

Gonna be a somebody down the line

Yeah, you'll be a big shot when it's time

So tell them au revoir
