Текст песни Stars / Feelings (Live) - Nina Simone

Stars, they come and go
They come fast, they come slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
All you see is glory
But it gets lonely there, when there′s no one there to share
You can shake it away
If you hear a story
People lust for fame
Like athletes in a game
We break their collarbones and come up swingin'
Some of them are crowned
Some of them are downed
Some are lost and never found
But most have seen it all
They live their lives in sad cafés and music halls
And they always have a story
Some make it when they′re young
Before the world has done its dirty job
And later on someone will say, "You've had your day
Now you must make way"
Don't they always?
But you′ll never know the pain
Of using a name you never owned
Or the years forgetting what you know too well
That you, who gave the crown, have been let down
You try to make amends
Without defending, perhaps pretending
You never saw the eyes of young men at 25
Who followed as you walked, asked for autographs
Kissed you on the cheek
You never could believe they really loved you, never
Some make it when they′re old
Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare
Perhaps there′s nothing there
But anyway that isn't what I meant to say
I meant to tell about a story
Since we all have stories
But I can′t remember it anyway
So I'll tell about the mood that′s in the United States today
And permeating even Switzerland
It goes...
But I'll continue anyway until I get it together
Some women have a body men would want to see
And so they put it on display, some people play a fine guitar
I could listen to them play all day
But anyway
I'm trying to tell my story
Janis Ian told it very well
Janis Joplin told it even better
Billie Holiday even told it even better
We always, we always
We always have a story
The latest story that I know is the one that I′m supposed to go out with
And the latest story that I know is the one that I′m supposed to go out with
And the latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with
And the latest story that I know is the one that I′m supposed to go out...
Feelings
Nothing more than feelings
Feelings
Nothing more than feelings
Feelings of love, you know that?
And we get to the middle
Where we have forgotten our feelings of love
You will help me, huh?
Teardrops falling down on my face
Trying to forget all my feelings of love
Feelings, I'm not makin′ ma- fun of the man
I do not believe the conditions that produced a situation
That demanded a song like that
Oh, come on, clap
Damn it, what's wrong with you?
For all my life I′ll feel it
I wish I'd never seen it
It can't possibly come again
Feelings, come on
Woa-woa-woa-woa, feelings
Woa-woa-woa, feelings
Again in my arms
Feelings
Feelings that I′ve never met you
Feelings that I′ve never even saw you
Again in my heart
Trying to forget my
Feelings of love
Feelings
I swear for all my life I'll feel it, oh yeah
I wish I never lived this long
Hope this feeling never comes again
Feelings
Feelings like I never lost you
And feelings like I never really had you
Here in my arms
Come on, let′s hit the climax
Feelings, you know the song, come on
Woa-woa-woa-woa, feelings
Woa-woa-woa, feelings
Again in my arms
Feelings
Woa-woa, feelings
So I'm not gon′ let you go so soon
And so embarrassingly soft
So let's please do the chorus
Feelings
Woa-woa-woa (feelings)
Woa-woa-woa, feelings
Again in my arms
(Feelings)
Woa-woa-woa, feed me, feed me, feed me
(Woa-woa-woa, feelings)
Again in (my arms)
Here in my heart
You′ll aways stay
Here in my heart
No matter what the words may say
You will stay here in my heart
No matter what the day
You will stay here in my heart
No matter what they say
No matter what they compose or do
No matter what the drugs may do
What songs may do, what people may do
Or machines will do to you
I will always have my feelings
Nothing can destroy that
'Cause I know that that is all that there is, at the base
For you
Good night
