Starry Eyes

Posted on April 5, 2009October 24, 2015 By Doriano No Comments on Starry Eyes

I’ve always loved The Records and their best song, “Starry Eyes” from 1979. I can’t believe it’s been 30 years! I was certain they were going to be the next big thing. Strange how things work out in music. They did achieve a level of success but nothing like I imagined they would.

Here’s the brilliant music video for their Starry Eyes.

Here they perform live

Starry Eyes

While you were off in France, we were stranded in the British Isles.
Left to fall apart amongst your passports and your files.
We never asked for miracles, but they were our concern.
Did you really think we’d sit it out and wait for your return?
I don’t want to argue. I ain’t gonna budge.
Won’t you take this number down before you call up the judge?
I don’t want to argue. There’s nothing to say.
Get me out of your starry eyes and be on your way!
While you were on the beach, were you dreaming all about your share?
Planning to invest it all to cover wear and tear?
We paid for all the phone calls. The money’s off the shelf.
Don’t you know that while you’re gone away, I’ve got to help myself?
I don’t want to argue. I ain’t gonna budge.
Won’t you take this number down before you call up the judge?
I don’t want to argue. There’s nothing to say.
Get me out of your starry eyes and be on your way!
While you were in the pool, we were meeting with the boys upstairs,
Talking to the money men, and carrying out affairs.
We had no time for cocktails, or working up a tan.
The boys have all been spoken to. The writ has hit the fan.
I don’t want to argue. I ain’t gonna budge.
Won’t you take this number down before you call up the judge?
I don’t want to argue. There’s nothing to say.
Get me out of your starry eyes and be on your way
