SHOOTING STAR ALBUM LYRICS & PRODUCTION CREDITS

  HEATHER IS ON FIRE 


Whoo hoo
I’d love to be a big star
Spend all my money on an electric bass guitar
With a video
I’d love to have my own t.v. show
I wanna be the one that’s playin’ on your stereo
Please don’t say I’m a liar
I say that Heather is on fire
Daddy’s little Angel
Proves that all is not well

She got pissed at her man
And she spat on her hand
Some 151
She didn’t need no gun
She lit her a match
She wears an eyepatch
The whole bar is in flames
She’s so tired of his games
She broke my a.c.
Her tip jar is full of debris
Her secrets cannot be hid
Someone is going to tell her kid
Her given name was Heather
She likes lace and leather
Her name was Heather
She likes it like that
CHORUS
BRIDGE
CHORUS



  SATTELITE


Now what can I say to you today
That you have never heard before
Many people sue
Good friends are few
And the government STILL loves war
You look so hard
But you can’t find your car
In the same old bar every night
If you blink and try not to think
And everything will be allright
I’M ALLRIGHT
I’M ALL WRONG
YOU’RE ALLRIGHT
See I’m the one
With the opinion
About each and everything
If I’m to blame
Then you are the same
And we’re BOTH just flying on a wing
You fly in a rage
as you read the page
Of the corporate satellite
In the end
Time is your friend
AND EVERYTHING WILL BE ALLRIGHT
DO DE DO DO DO DO DE DO(4X)
Intergalactic guitar solo-bird
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

 


  SENSITIVE LOVER


Oh there it is …o.k.
If it rains then you’ll know
When it rains then you’ll know
If it rains then you’ll know
You got me just where you want me
My back is against the wall
I’m stuck in your corner baby
Pride always proceeds my fall

I’m just a sensitive lover
I don’t have too much to say
If you don’t want to be my lover
I guess I’ll be on my way

Now I know about you and your girlfriends
Because I heard you through the wall
I didn’t know you had her coming over baby
I guess she couldn’t resist your call
CHORUS
BRIDGE-SAX SOLO
You got me just where you want me
My back is against the wall
I’m stuck out on this dancefloor baby
You’re the biggest bitch of all



 



  UPTIGHT


Uptight  All night
Uptight  All night
Yeah yeah
Took a little lady to look into my eyes
Took that woman to make me realize
C’mon baby don’t leave me that way
C’mon baby make your man feel o.k.
And I’ll feel o.k
And you’ll feel o.k.
We’ll both feel o.k.
Baby please don’t leave me
UPTIGHT (UPTIGHT)
LET’S DO THIS ALL NIGHT (ALL NIGHT)
IT FEELS ALLRIGHT (ALLRIGHT)
TAKE YOUR TIME AND IT’LL BE JUST FINE
Girls you know you got a power that is true
Ain’t nobody got that power that you do
C’mon baby please don’t leave me that way
C’mon baby make your man feel o.k
CHORUS
TAKE  YOUR TIME AND IT’LL BE JUST FINE




  SHOOTING STAR


Got my preppy shoes
On my feet today
I walked from boarding school
I’m the preppy gone astray
CHORUS
AND YOU WERE JUST A SHOOTING STAR
BRIGHT FOR A MOMENT THEN YOU FADED AWAY
Got my fancy shoes
Got my fancy hair
With mama’s checkbook
I get paid not to care
Mama raised me right
But I turned out all wrong
I stayed up half last night
Just writin’ me another song
CHORUS
YOU TOOK IT ALL A LITTLE TOO FAR
I HATED TO SEE YOU GO THAT WAY
The point of it all
Is there ain’t no point
It’s about three o’clock
And we’re rippin’ up the joint
Mama raised me right
I just turned out all wrong
I stayed up half last night
Just writin’ you another song
…it’s easy baby…




  LAND OF THE LOST GOODBYE


Land of the lost goodbye
A salty tear burns my eye
For things that I said
Babe I never meant to cause you no pain
My eyes are cryin’ like the pourin’ rain
It’s true… you know that I’m blue
She told me once she said I’ll say it again
You want a good lover you find a good friend
It’s true…you know that it’s true

SHE’S MORE THAN A WOMAN
MORE THAN A WOMAN
SHE’S MORE THAN A GIRL
MORE THAN A GIRL
SHE’S MORE THAN MIXED UP
ABOUT THIS WORLD(2X)

She told me once she said I’ll say it twice
You want a good lover better treat her nice
It’s true…you know that it’s true
Because guys like me come a dime a dozen
I’ll break your heart and leave you with your cousin
It’s true…you know that it’s true
CHORUS
BRIDGE-SOLO-BIRD
SUCH A CRAZY MIXED UP WORLD
From the land of the lost goodbye
I got no reason why
For the things that I said
Because the stupid words that I said
Are haunting me in my head
Ah Lord what is the use
Pretty ones come a dime a dozen
They’ll break your heart and leave you with your cousin
It’s true…I’m blue

 

  ALLRIGHT

Help me Elvis…
I woke up this morning I was all alone
No one was calling me on the telephone
This is the place that I come to sit
This is the place that even I fit
IT’S ALLRIGHT IT’S ALLRIGHT IT’S ALLRIGHT
I SAID YEAH YOU KNOW IT’S ALLRIGHT(3X)
Come here mama and take me down town
I come in here you know I feel allright
I got a pretty lil’ thang and she don’t make me uptight
I’m the king of it all if I can find a seat
It’s even much better than being on the street
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I feel good
It’s cool feeling like this
I feel better than I should
I know I can’t miss
I think this is bliss

They said you passed while you were on the throne
Nobody came to call you Elvis you were all alone
I can’t imagine a better way to go
It ain’t even that bad if you fall on the floor
CHORUS
SOLO-ADAM
CHORUS








  MODERN GIRLS


GIRLS GIRLS MODERN GIRLS
SHE’S A GIRL SHE’S A GIRL A MODERN GIRL
GIRLS GIRLS MODERN GIRLS
DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL IS GOING TO RULE THE WORLD
In the year two thousand girls were hard to please
Guys spent their dimes and she was down on her bended knees
Boy you better listen to every word that I got to say
Because if’n you don’t well then brother you’re gonna pay
CHORUS
The only thing that she really wants is EVERYTHING
That’s all that girl wants
She started out a nice girl and then she got mean
And she always loved to do it to me she loves to do it to me
Like a sex machine
CHORUS
LEAD-PARTY TALK
CHORUS
The only thing that she really needs
Is a bottle of wine and three bags of those magic weeds
Well she started out a nice girl and then she got sad
She always loved to do it to me she loves to spank her daddy
When he is bad
CHORUS






  CALLIN THE BIRDMAN


Allright o.k. we gone rollin’
They call me the Bird because I throw it on down
I handle the music kind of like James Brown
I like to laugh some people think I’m funny
I’m the big rock star but I don’t make no money
Well around this town there are some other cool bands
But take it from me I’m the baddest in the land
Well I can be cocky because I paid my dues
I live in a where?house and I love the blues
CHORUS
THEY CALLIN’ THE BIRDMAN (3X)
OH YEAH HE’S THE BIRD
WELL HAVE YOU HEARD THAT I AM THE BIRD
AND BIRD IS THE WORD HAVE YOU HEARD BIRD IS THE WORD
Uptight like a lug nut on a half-open trail
Got my tune you know and I’m readin’ the Holy Grail
Well after the gig at the local bar
You know I load up my van and I drive real far
If I’m lucky I might meet a girl
Drink champagne and talk about the world
I’m a funky honky just rappin’ to the beat
I’m playin’ the groove from the Big Apple’s street
I’m so white I’m so tight I’m all the way live
I’m a good lovin’ rapper and I don’t take no jive
BRIDGE
I FEEL SO GOOD   FEELS SO GOOD (2X)
Like a lug nut tight on a train I’ll hold you tight baby
You’ll come over here and I’ll play with my stereo for a minute
CHORUS
In case you haven’t heard they call me the Bird
I am the man I am not a nerd
Of all the cat’s you know I am the grooviest
I’m rockin’ and I’m rollin’ blowin’ up like Mt. Vesuvius
CHORUS
Sittin’ on a lug nut sittin’ on the tire
You know I got my tire jack out in the fire
You know I put some gas on it made a lil’ tut-tut
Lit it up and whew
I didn’t see if you was lookin’ at me
I didn’t know if you were phattin’ me
I didn’t know if you were gattin’ me
I don’t care what you do or say
But I’ll tell you if you are a man
You don’t need a gun
You do all you can
You just use your hand
And do all you can
Any man don’t need that plan
CHORUS






  CRACK ROCKER


Crack rocker
He went up to the penthouse
Crack rocker
He went down to the crack house
Crack rocker
He was in at the outhouse
Crack rocker
He was back at the White House

Cops were out lookin’ for street walkers
But they caught themselves a real crack rocker
Tryin’ to break into Bird’s van
Now he’s jonesin’ in the county can
CHORUS
All Bird wants to do is work and play
But crack rocker funks with him each and every day
Always tryin’ to snatch his skit
Drop the pipe go ahead and quit
THE ROOF THE ROOF THE ROOF IS ON FIRE
HE DON’T NEED NO WATER LET IT BURN
HIS CRACKING LIPS
CHORUS
Repeat first verse





  CHILL PILL


I was ridin’ down the road
Not carryin’ no heavy load
I saw the cop looking over at me
I could tell he was a rookie
He did not like how I looked
Asked if he could look in my book
And he didn’t like what he saw
He said I’m the long arm of the law
YOU BETTER TAKE A CHILL PILL
 I’LL TAKE ONE TOO
YOU KNOW  AND IF’N YOU DON’T
 I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’LL DO
Well I saw him standing there
Bad attitude in his glare
Woman cop was sitting in the car
Eating jelly donuts from a jar
Cop began to search me
Without any probable cause
And I thought to myself
Now who is making these laws
CHORUS
The cop he took me straight to jail
Did not even read me my rights
Laughed and released me without bail
From the gray bar hotel with blue lights
And I told him right then
Why do you have to have that law
What is it that you want
What is it that you saw
TONY’S VERSE
Why would you stop
Me from getting where I’m going
As fast as I can
Because if and when you don’t
I might not be the one let go
APPRECIATE YOUR FREEDOM
TO MAKE A CONSCIOUS DECISION
Hang on man I don’t want no friction
Because once it’s on then it’s on
And it’s building up
Man it’s building up
CHORUS(2X)
