Edwyn Collins - Stars in My Eyes lyrics

Well I've a sorry tale to tell ya Forgive me if you've heard it before Y'see, I ain't got nothing to sell ya Though I've a few surprises left in store Well I told all my troubles to Marlon But Marlon didn't want to know Bout how I've picked every flower in my garden Now I'm gonna watch my garden grow You know I've got a bad reputation You know I like monkeying around Y'see I'd rather swingfrom the treetops Cos I can't keep my feet on the grounds But I can stand tall It's not that I'm living a lie It's stars in my eyes If I fall I'd rather have stars in my eyes Than nothing at all 20/20 nothing at all Well some they like the straight and narrow But me like a kink or two So many winding roads to follow But only one that follows through If I just dip my toe in the water It don't mean I'm gonna get wet They say I've got a certain something Is it something that I'll live to regret? But I can stand tall It's not that I'm living a lie It's stars in my eyes If I fall I'd rather have stars in my eyes Than nothing at all 20/20 nothing at all It's safe to say my life is changing My destiny is in my hands This song just needs some rearranging And then I'll make it to the promised land Where I will stand tall It's not that I'm living a lie It's stars in my eyes If I fall I'd rather have stars in my eyes Than nothing at all 20/20 nothing at all
