Adam and the Ants - Catch a Falling Star

Cover version of Perry Como's classic.

According to Adam, as transcribed from AntBook: "My mother was a big Perry Como fan. This was my favourite record; with a new slant on the chorus."

Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star, put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day

For love may come and tap you on the shoulder
Some starry night
And just in case you feel you wanna hold her
You'll have a pocket full of starlight

Catch a falling star, put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away (never let it fade away)
Catch a falling star, put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day (rainy day)

For when your troubles start a-multiplying
And they just might
It's easy to forget them without tryin'
You'll have a pocket full of starlight
(Pocket full of starlight, booboo booboo boo boo)

Catch a falling star, put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away (never let it fade away)
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day (rainy day)
Or else:

You'll have a pocket full of starlight

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away (never let it fade away)
Catch a falling star, put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day (rainy day)
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
