"stars (john's local)" lyrics
I know it gets too much
When I lose my head, when I get home, I'll be seeing stars
It's about quarter past five, and I'm about to go
To the biggest party I've ever been to in my life
But I've got a lighter in my pocket in case I need to talk to a stranger
I've also got my keys, my phone, and my wallet, catch you later
It looks a bit dark in there, am I in the right place?
There's absolutely no way that John's local is an underground rave
My first initial thought is, this is fucking sick
And then the irony, of course, is that I've stepped in someone's sick
I know it gets too much
When I lose my head, when I get home, I'll be seeing stars
I know it gets too much
When I lose my head, when I get home, I'll be seeing stars
I'm entering what's supposed to be John's local
And I cannot believe the size of the bouncers
And they both kind of look scary, but they were so lovely and welcoming
And I'm flattered that they've asked for my ID
And I'm not built for this type of evening, I've only stepped out for a pint
I've seen no familiar faces, and two hours have gone by
And I can't tell you how many times I've heard "Mr. Brightside"
But I can tell you now, it was more than once
The sound of my heartbeat as I'm getting on into the night
And I'm getting further away from the chance of ever being alright
I know it gets too much
When I lose my head, when I get home, I'll be seeing stars
I know it gets too much
When I lose my head, when I get home, I'll be seeing stars
I think I've got to push through, so I've made the decision to drink more
And what is John's mum doing that for on the dance floor?
And how have I seen John's mum before I've even seen John?
Also, I don't know who she's dancing with, but it ain't her husband
And John's mum's just clocked the fact that I've just clocked
That she ain't dancing with her husband, and I wonder if John knows
But what if John clocks that I've clocked that John's mum's got
With someone that we both met in year nine? It's a tricky dilemma
I know it gets too much
When I lose my head, when I get home, I'll be seeing stars
Woo... Does any of yous know what happened last night?
When I lose my head, when I get home, I'll be seeing stars
It's about quarter past five, and I'm about to go
To the biggest party I've ever been to in my life
But I've got a lighter in my pocket in case I need to talk to a stranger
I've also got my keys, my phone, and my wallet, catch you later
It looks a bit dark in there, am I in the right place?
There's absolutely no way that John's local is an underground rave
My first initial thought is, this is fucking sick
And then the irony, of course, is that I've stepped in someone's sick
I know it gets too much
When I lose my head, when I get home, I'll be seeing stars
I know it gets too much
When I lose my head, when I get home, I'll be seeing stars
I'm entering what's supposed to be John's local
And I cannot believe the size of the bouncers
And they both kind of look scary, but they were so lovely and welcoming
