George Michael - Star People

The way George refers to modern day living is almost prophetic (this song was released in April 1997) : "...Just look at all the wonderful people...trying to forget they had to pay for what you see...its a dream with a nightmare stuck in the middle... but listen brother where would you be without all of this attention? You'd die- I'd die-we'd die would'nt we? WELL WOULD'NT WE???


Star people
counting your money till you soul turns green
star people
counting the cost of your desire to be seen

I do not count myself among you
I may be living in a dream
it's just there seem so many of you
can't help but hope
there's a difference between...you and me

you're a star
(I'm talking to you)
you're a star

I said
maybe your mama gave you up boy
(it's the same old same old)
maybe your daddy didn't love you enough girl
how much is enough?

star people
never forget your secret's safe with me
just look at all the wonderful people
trying to forget they had to pay for what you see

it's a dream
with a nightmare stuck in the middle
but listen brother where would you be
without all this attention
you'd die
I'd die
we'd die wouldn't we?
(well wouldn't we)

big, big star!
should go far!

you're a star
(I'm talking to you)
you're a star

I said
maybe your mama gave you up boy
(it's the same old same old)
maybe your daddy didn't love you enough girl
how much is enough?

talk about your mother
talk about your father
talk about the people
who have made you what you are
talk about your teacher,
the bully boy who beat you
talk about the people who have paid
for that new sports car

did you get off on a bad  foot, baby?
do you have a little tale to tell?
is that why you're a star?
is that what makes a star?

Nothing comes for nothing, baby
That fame and fortune's heaven sent
and who gives a f**k about your problems, darling
when you can't pay the rent

how much is enough?
how much is enough?
