Shining Star - 12" Mix; 2018 Remaster

Making my love

Like a shining star

Taking my love

Just a touch too far

Eddie Boyd lit like paraffin

Spending two weeks in the crackhouse

Burning on his brain like Chernobyl

Dean was thin with a two-pack

But as he was lying dead on his mother's bed

Someone to pray for

'Til I met you

Life is like a broken arrow

Memory a swinging door

I could be your great misfortune

I could make you happy every day of your life

Making my love

Like a shining star

Taking my love

Just a touch too far

Dizzy done tricks with a soul like ice

'Cause love left holes in four swell kids

Breaking her heart

I've got windows, I've seen much vice

I've touched down with vermin, cowards, lice

And I say

Nobody cares what you do

Please be yourself today

I could be your great misfortune

But you'll never find a

Bet you'll never find a better man

Making my love

Like a shining star

Taking my love

Just a touch too far

Peter met Frank, formed a dummy-ran gang

Worked heister, hit for ten G's flat

Blew heads out of shape in the name of Trotsky

Sinn Fein, Hitler, cash down

No hope here, all this colorless pave

With debts in heroin, fingers in blood

Poor little bodies all covered in scabs

Threw it all away, now the life in the grave

(The life in the grave)

Life is like a broken arrow

Memory a swinging door

I could be your great misfortune

Well, I could make you happy every goddamn single day of your life

Making my love

Like a shining star

Like a shining star

Babe, that's what you are

Like a shining star

Making my love

Like a shining star

Taking my love

Just a touch too far

Making my love

Like a shining star

Taking my love

Just a touch too far

Making my love

Like a shining star

Taking my love

Just a touch too far

Making my love

Like a shining star

Taking my love

Just a touch too far

Making my love

Like a shining star

Taking my love

Just a touch too far
