Shooting Star (Live at the Summit, Houston, Texas - 23rd May 1977)

Johnny was a schoolboy
When he heard his first Beatles song
'Love Me Do' I think it was
And from then it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar
Used to play every night
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit
And everything's alright
Don't you know?
Johnny told his Mama,
"Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away,
Gonna hit the big time,
Gonna be a big star someday"
Mama came to the door
With a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, "Don't cry Mama,
Smile and wave goodbye"
Don't you know?
Yeah...
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
Johnny made a record
Went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved
To hear him sing the song
Watchin' the world go by
Surprisin' it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said,
"Well, I made the big-time at last!"
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you don't you don't you don't you don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

Shooting Star (Live at the Summit, Houston, Texas - 23rd May 1977)

Johnny était un écolier
Quand il a entendu sa première chanson des Beatles
'Love Me Do', je crois que c'était ça
Et à partir de là, il n'a pas fallu longtemps
Il s'est acheté une guitare
Jouait tous les soirs
Maintenant, il est dans un groupe de rock 'n' roll
Et tout va bien
Tu sais ?
Johnny a dit à sa maman,
"Hé, maman, je pars,
Je vais percer,
Je serai une grande star un jour"
Maman est venue à la porte
Avec une larme à l'oeil
Johnny a dit, "Ne pleure pas maman,
Souris et fais-moi signe de la main"
Tu sais ?
Ouais...
Tu sais que tu es une étoile filante ?
Tu sais ?
Tu sais ?
Tu sais que tu es une étoile filante ?
Et le monde entier t'aimera aussi longtemps
Aussi longtemps que tu seras
Johnny a fait un disque
Est allé directement en tête des charts
Soudain, tout le monde a aimé
L'entendre chanter la chanson
Regarder le monde passer
C'est étonnant, ça va si vite
Johnny a regardé autour de lui et a dit,
"Eh bien, j'ai enfin réussi !"
Tu sais ?
Tu sais ?
Tu sais que tu es une étoile filante ?
Tu sais ?
Tu sais ?
Tu sais que tu es une étoile filante ?
Et le monde entier t'aimera aussi longtemps
Aussi longtemps que tu seras
Johnny est mort une nuit, mort dans son lit
Une bouteille de whisky, des somnifères à côté de sa tête
La vie de Johnny lui a passé comme une chaude journée d'été
Si tu écoutes le vent, tu peux encore l'entendre jouer
Tu sais que tu es une étoile filante ?
Tu sais ?
Tu sais que tu es une étoile filante ?
Tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pas, tu ne sais pas ?
Tu sais que tu es une étoile filante ?
