 Stars Tonight



 

 

Music by Paul White
Lyrics by Phil Mellows


Stars Tonight was written a few years ago as an entry for Song for Europe, the then competition to find the UK's Eurovision song. So, yes, it's supposed to sound like that. Sadly they changed the rules while we were in mid-composition so it didn't fit the criteria any more and we lost. At least that's my story.
This demo (as I believe they're called) was cut (see I've got all the lingo) at a proper studio at Tottenham Hale. It's sung by a session singer we hired who I think was called Natalie. She was rugby player Josh Lewsey's ex, I remember that much. So thanks to Paul and Natalie and the bloke what mixed it. He had dreadlocks and everything.


The Words

The night is ours, head for the light
This is the time of our lives
Tonight we are like Posh and Becks
Out on the town, as good as it's gets

We are stars tonight, shining bright
We are stars tonight, shining bright, oh so bright

Don't need Big Brother to make our name
Got a little love that'll bring us fame
Don't want to be on someone's TV
Got our own real life reality

We are stars tonight, shining bright
We are stars tonight, shining bring, oh so bright

We're here to party, we're here to dance
Siezing the moment, taking a chance
The darker the night, the brighter the star
Now the world knows just who we are

Don't need to pose for a picture in Hello!
All eyes are on us wherever we go
Don't need McCartney's clothes to wear
We're Stella material just as we are

We are stars tonight, shining bright
Yes, we are stars tonight, and we shine so bright
Oh we are stars tonight, shining bright
Yes, we are stars tonight, and we shine so bright

Stars tonight
Stars tonight
