Starlight - Joan Armatrading

Everyone trying to be somebody

Everybody trying to be someone

Trying to be at the A list party

But most times on the sidelines waving

Look at me look at me

Here I am

Here I am here I am

Can’t you see me

Hey

Sell your mother for a breakthrough

And your father if you had to

Living the dream

Chasing the rainbow

Everybody wants to be a starlight

Shining in the darkest hall

Everybody wants to be a starlight

Shining in the darkest hall

Everyone needs something to believe in

Domination is the backup plan

First thing is to get more notice

Less talk and a lot more action

Look at me look at me

Here I go

Here I go here I go

Can’t you see me

Hey

Sell your mother for a breakthrough

And your father if you had to

Living the dream

Chasing the rainbow

Everybody wants to be a starlight

Shining in the darkest hall

Everybody wants to be a starlight

Shining in the darkest hall

Even if you see an outside chance

You gotta grab it and big up yourself

A little skinny kid

With shining bright eyes

Yea

Don’t give a reason to get yourself knocked back

You got a personality

Use that

No better place to start than

Right here

Right now

Yea

Even if you see an outside chance

You gotta grab it and big up yourself

A little skinny kid with shining bright eyes

Yea

Don’t give a reason to get yourself knocked back

You’ve got a personality

Use that

No better place to start than right here

Right now

Yea
