David Essex - Stardust Lyrics






Ah look what they've done to da rock'n'roll clown
Ah rock'n'roll clown look he's down on the ground
Well he used to high fly, but he crashed out the sky
In a stardust fling hey rock 'n roll king is down

Roll on up won't you come and take at look at me, ah
Come on stand in line just one at a time t' see me
See my painted-on grin, as I stand up to sing
In a stardust fling, hey rock'n'roll king is down

But he's the leader of the band
Yes a lonely man
Doncha you wanna take his hand
Yes you know you can..an, owwww

Well I used to high fly, but I crashed out the sky
In a stardust fling hey rock'n'roll king is down
In a stardust fling hey rock'n'roll king is down
In a stardust fling hey rock'n'roll king is, down
In a stardust fling hey rock'n'roll king is, down
In a stardust fling hey rock'n'roll king is da down
In a stardust fling hey rock'n'roll king is, down
In a stardust fling hey rock'n'roll king is, down
In a stardust fling hey

    Such a great song & movie, ain’t seen the movie in years & I doubt I ever see it again as I ain’t got it on dvd or video, the first movie ‘that’ll be the day’ was great too, my brother had both movies on video, not sure if he’s still got them though

    L.... G....

    Just bought both films DVD via Amazon. amazing.

  8. D.... E....

    Why is the movie so hard to find ? It's good. Music Copyright issues? Lost prints ? Lost film.

    D.... E....

    Amazon has That'll be the day/Stardust DVD bargain price.

  9. T.... ....

    From the book by Ray Connolley

  10. G.... G....

    A classic from the great David Essex.

  11. R.... C....

    This and Imperial Wizard - his best tracks

  12. T.... ....

    Brilliant radio4 adaption the other month.

  13. D.... B....

    Immense. Intense.

  14. T.... B....

    I remember seeing the film to this +the other: That will be the day with stars such as Ringo * as a kid.

  15. F.... ....

    I used to high fly. Now my grin is painted on. God knows where the band went...

  16. H.... b....

    I have the original LP with this on it, last track on side 2. it has a extra instrumental track after the fading of this, no idea what it is and no title on the cover, just a tune with (lalalala la la la lala laa), if anyone knows what i mean

    H.... b....

    Hobby birchy , yes, isn't that just an instrumental variation of 'Gonna make you a star' ?

    H.... b....

    ahh ,yes you are right it is, strange for it not to be listed on the cover album & label

  17. m.... ....

    that l be the day n stardust changed me forever,never ever forgave adam for the dog & acid :D

    m.... ....

  19. T.... ....

    Oh teenage years! Sneaking into see this film underage....

  20. T.... ....

    +sharman495 IT PLAYS OVER THE END CREDITS!!!   The credits are part of the film - thus, it is in the film!

  23. A.... F....

    Great orchestration during the fadeout.

  24. H.... T....

    Nice atmospheric number, just needed another verse!

    clivestanley66 I saw both of those films. I had an LP with the songs on it. The films seem to have disappeared. I’ve tried finding them on the Internet but can’t.
