Lyrics : Janis Ian/Louis Gasté/Morris Albert
Music : Janis Ian/Louis Gasté/Morris Albert
Stars, they come and go
They come fast, they come slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
And all you see is glory.
But it gets lonely there，
When there's no one there to share
We can shake it away，
If you'll hear a story.
People lust for fame，
Like athletes in a game.
They break their collarbones and come up swinging.
Some of them are crowned,
Some of them are downed,
And some are lost and never found.
But most’ve seen it all
They live their lives in sad cafes 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 years of forgetting what you know too well.
Have you who gave the crown have been let them down
You try to make amends
Without defending, perhaps pretending.
You never saw the eyes of young men in 25,
Who  followed at your walk, asked for autographs,
kissed you on the cheek
And 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
Or 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 with
Feelings
Nothing more than feelings
Feelings
Nothing more than feelings
Feelings are bluff
You know that?
Okay, as a robot gets itself together
and we do it, and we get to the middle,
where we have forgotten our feelings of love,
you will help me huh?
Tear drops, falling down on my face
Time to forget all my feelings of love
Goddamn.
And you know what,
and what a shame you have to write a song like that.
Feelings
I'm not making fun of the man.
I do not believe the conditions
that produced a situation that demanded a song like that!
Oh, come on, clap, dammit. What's wrong with you?
For my life I feel it
I wish I had never seen it
It can't possibly come again
Feelings
Come on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, feelings
Whoa, whoa, whoa, feelings
Again in my heart
Feelings
Feelings that I never met you
Feelings that I never even saw you
Again in my heart
Feelings of love
Feelings
I swear all my life that feelings
I wish I never lives this long
I hope this feeling never comes again
Feelings
Feelings like I never lost you
Feelings like I never really had you
Here in my arms
Now, come on. Let's hit the climax.
Feelings
You know the song, come on
Oh, feelings
Oh, feelings
Again in my arms, oh yeah
Feelings, all our feelings
I'm not going to let you go so soon
and so embarrassingly soft.
So let's please do chorus.
Feelings, oh feelings
Oh feelings, again in my arms
Feed me, feed me, feed me.
Again in
No.
Again in my heart
You'll always 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
Or songs may do, or people may do
Or machines will do to you
I will always have my feelings
Nothing can destroy them
Cause I know that that is all that there is at the base
