You're a Star

I've posted this one before, but after a discussion with a friend on Friday I feel compelled to add it again. In the case of sitting in the dark or the light there is no case... You need to BE the light.

"You're a Star" comes from the feel good movie, Josie and the Pussycats. It follows on the whole "to thy own self be true" theme. It's amazing how many of these cheesy movies tried to portray this single message for so long.

I feel good yeah i feel fine
I've stopped complainin' all the time
You'll get yours and baby I'll get mine

So don't be fooled by what you see
In movies magazines and on TV
Just what do they know about you and me
We don't care what they say
We'll be alright we'll be ok

Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na yeah yeah

So stand up straight and stand up tall
Don't waste your time in shopping malls
Slam the door and let's tear down the walls
Crack it up let's mess around
Be who you are 'cause you're a star

Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na yeah yeah

We're all stars, and once we've got that right, you'll realise that we shine brightest at the darkest of times.

Spin Around

Been thinking of additions I should be making to my DVD collection and am instantly reminded of the "Josie and the Pussycats" movie. If you haven't seen it, it's one of those nonsensical movies that ultimately has a feel good theme but for the most part just makes fun of commercialism to some degree. It certainly doesn't hurt that Josie is really cute and Melody is one of those characters that you just have to love.

Thankfully I know the lyrics to "Enter Sandman" so should be fine even if I join a boy band at some point.

"Spin Around" is the backing track as Josie and the Pussycats seem to have hit the big time. I wonder if it's always a case of spiraling out of control is a natural progression when we finally make it? I suppose time will tell.

La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la yeah

Spin around come back home
You're runnin out on a line
Sometimes feel I'm going outta my mind
Stunned here waitin for anyone to take the time
Spin around we get further and further away
Smile and wave, ain't got nothin to say
Stunned here waitin for anyone to take the time
To change my mind this time

I've been starin' at the sun for some time
It gets dark inside but I don't mind
And if you're gone its like I'm goin' blind
I can't get by this time

Spin around jump back take another look at yourself
You've been hidin' all alone on a shelf
Frozen waitin for anyone who'll change your mind
Spin around come down now cause its all getting clear
Everything you ever wanted is here
We never needed anyone to change your mind
Don't waste our time
We're fine

I've been starin at the sun for some time
It gets dark inside but I don't mind
And if you're gone it likes I'm going blind
I can't get by this time

La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la yeah

Spin around and around
and around and around
never want to come back down
'cause everything you lost
I found yeah
Spin around and around and uh
Spin around and around and uh
Spin around and around and uh
yeah yeah yeah

Sometimes we're find ourselves spinning about and kinda lose touch with reality. Then again is that always a bad thing?
