1000 Stars [John Peel Session, 1983] Songtext
von Big Country

Now we play our final hand
Move in closer, understand
This time like never before
Only the black queen scores
A card so high and so wild
We should burn it

The luck of a thousand stars
Can′t get me out of this
The luck of a thousand stars
Losing its charm


There are people I have loved
Hypnotized by lies
In defensive disguise
Some say protect and survive
I say it's over

The luck of a thousand stars
Can′t get me out of this
The luck of a thousand stars
Losing its charm

Hold me through the darkest night
I feel secure in your arms
While all the city's on fire
It's not between you and me
But we are losing


The luck of a thousand stars
Can′t get me out of this
The luck of a thousand stars
Can′t get me out of this
The luck of a thousand stars
Losing its charm
