John Foxx - Stars On Fire

Lyrics:
Give me a drink and I'll remember you
Ah, blow me a shadow from that smile
Roses are blooming down the avenues
Looks like I came home just in time

And all the leaves go tumbling down
There's a big yellow moon shining all over the town
And we walked by the river
As you smiled and you pulled me around
And all the stars
Were on fire

Oh you were so perfectly original
You never give chapter or a verse
And I'll always love you for your miracles
Never for better
Or for worse

And all the leaves went tumbling down
There's a big yellow moon shining all over the town
And we walked by the river
As you laughed and you pulled me around
And all the stars
Were on fire

Oh the night was so magnificent
I just had to be with you awhile
And all the world was wild and innocent
And I felt like I was loved

And all the leaves went tumbling down
There's a big yellow moon shining all over the town
And we walked by the river
As you laughed and you pulled me around
And all the stars
All the stars
All the stars
Were on fire

Although I'm still not sure whether this album is any good or not, I listened to it so much at the time, it's got a place in my heart :)

[polterter]

@DadgeCity if u enjoy listening to it it's good. simple indicator. ;)

[jaymythxxxx]

Haven't heard this in years! I've got the single buried away somewhere... thanks for putting this on - it brings back lots of nice memories.

[polterter]

@jaymythxxxx Thanks a lot for your comment. Nice to hear it does. :)

And heres me saying i didnt like the album,i might need to give it another listen..

[polterter]

@Synthsound1 When did u listen to the album the last time before? I don't find it as bad anymore now. It's not exciting or great but it's okay when ur more in a quiet mood and once u've accepted the different singing style and the bog standard sound of the production. ;) lol

Remember when I bought this without listening- "ooh good, another gatefold 4 track single from J Foxx" after the "Endlessly" single. Got home, played it, and boy was I confused. I could not believe it was John Foxx, it was so different from his usual style. I genuinely thought the record company had made a pressing mistake or something...

[telkines]

brilliant



[Homoholic]

A couple of other artists like Gary Numan, Ultravox and Midge Ure recorded this kind of Americanised pop rock around the same time.

I'm so glad that John Foxx has redeemed himself. 'Crash And Burn' and 'Metatronic' CDs are great!!!

@polterter Quite a long while back since i listend to the album,like you say sometimes when you relisten to some stuff it sounds better than you remember.yeah lol i know what you mean about the bog standard production,it was trying to fit in as a more pop album,and still didnt do very well,even though it was far better than a lot of more popular artists work around that time.
