Lyrics Star Hotel - Live At The Manly Vale Hotel - Cold Chisel

Here's a song about a place in Newcastle
For anybody from Newcastle
And for anybody who hasn't got any work
Anybody who hasn't got any money
Anybody who hates the government
Song's the "Star Hotel"

All last year we were learning
And drank our cheques at the bar
Somewhere bridges were burning
As those walls came down at the Star
Squad cars fanned the insanity
News men flashed through the crowd
Spent last night under custody
And the sun found me
And the sun found me
And the sun found me on the road
On the road

At the Star Hotel
At the Star Hotel
At the Star Hotel
At the Star Hotel

You better listen to the ring of the bell
Ain't no deals, we got nothing to sell
It's a taste of things to come at the Star Hotel

(Here lies a local ... days were the best ... was all we had)

Those in charge getting crazier
The job queues grow through the land
An uncontrolled youth in Asia
Is gonna make those fools understand
Uncontrolled youth in Asia
Is gonna make those fools
Gonna make those fools
Gonna make those fools understand
Understand

At the Star Hotel
At the Star Hotel
At the Star Hotel
At the Star Hotel (don't shut the Star)
At the Star Hotel
At the Star Hotel
Listen

You better listen to the ring of the bell
Ain't no deals, we got nothing to sell
It's a taste of things to come
At the Star Hotel
