Passenger - Staring At The Stars Lyrics
Tobacco stains our yellow teeth
And all our fingers and underneath
Our fingernails that clasp on sheets
As we try desperately to sleep
Hearts are sad and eyes are tired
It gives us wings
It gives us rings around our eyes
We put three sugars in our tea
Sit to watch day time TV
And laugh at mums who don't know who the father is
And all our girlfriends are long gone
We watch too much internet porn
Who needs love when you've got silicone and strap ons
And shit jobs keep us in ruts
And keep us eyeing up the what's and if's and buts and maybe's and
Falling over in the street
Is just a part of every week
And we lie drunkenly just staring at the stars
Remember when they were in reach
And all the teachers used to teach
You can do anything if you put your mind to it
We put our minds to it all
But disappointment crashed the ball
We could've done anything
We just never quite knew it, so
Tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
Tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
Tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
Tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
Oh oh so tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
Tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
Tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
Tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night

Passenger Staring At The Stars Comments
i love this song i cant stop listening to it my brother showed me this song and i LOVE IT<3
Oh my bad not bad.
you know I really like to have this either downloaded or let it play on my Bluetooth my Little pony I got my house because this is getting ridiculous really ridiculous or rediculous.
``we watch too much internet porn`` I had a tab on multporn, was Passenger mocking ME????
I will come back here 2020 this day
Who is listening to this music with me in 2019?
I miss sitting next to my cousion and listening to this
R 🙋♂️❤ miss ya, Boris.
This was my song in Senior Year of High School. 2013 Memories
I forgot about this song.. but its so so so great!
I really love this song
You are the best singer i have ever heard
Falling over in the street is just a part of every week, and we lie drunkenly just staring at the stars..
Remember when they were in reach? And all the teachers used to teach, "You can do anything if you put your mind to it."
Well, We put our minds to it all but disappointment crashed the ball, we could've done anything we just never quite knew it.
This song makes me cry every fucking time.
This song is so underrated
Hi dummies that said thumbs down try a few weeks on the streets to be able to see.
Probably the best poet of our time. What a way with words... Every one of his songs paints a beautiful picture.
Everyone can relate
no meu bar so rola ele sou fã.. ha nao ser que o fregues peça outras musicas conveniente.
Let her go plzz!!
Lovely.
Fav song in this album
I Love this song!
I'm sad to say this but, I dislike this, the acoustic version is way better
Who needs love when you have silicone and strapons. Best line ever
When I play this in my house a kind of calmness descents over my family
one thing, one word 'great!'👌
Passenger is just so amazing:) I listen to all of Passenger's songs when I need inspiration for writing.
same here
but I draw :)
+Adventure Island same
Pickles InDaHouse same man👌🏻
Sick chune pls like if still listening in April 2016🐖🐖🐖
I'm confident that this song contains the first ever musical reference to The Jeremy Kyle Show, and I pray it is also the last.
It's actually the second that I know of, but I agree, ha. The other was in Rizzle Kick's "Lost Generation."
chase and status - let you go, pretty sure is based on jezza
As an American, I assume that's the line: "And laugh at mums who don’t know who the father is." It must be similar to The Jerry Springer Show (and about a million other ones in the States).
I love theses songs because me and my bother always fight but when we listen to passenger and we dont fight and i realize we love each other. And we get along for once
Had me at "Beer bloats our spoiled guts, and shit jobs keep us in ruts"
had me at silicon and strapons tbf
love it
Silicon and strap ons!!!!!
I spent 2 months in a psychiatric hospital, and every night a bunch of the younger people (maybe 18 years old to 35 years old) would come and sit around on the ward. Maybe 10 of us, spread across hospital beds, visitor chairs, and the floor. One of the patients had his guitar with him, and he and a girl used to do songs and covers as evening entertainment. Nearly every night this song would come up or be requested. I remember sitting on the floor by the nurses station one night after they locked the doors and dimmed the lights, listening to this song and looking around at everyone else.
Everyone was so different, and we had nothing in common except mental illness. Mainly depression/bipolar/borderline. Everyone was worn down, anxious, alone, after suicide attempts or rapes or abuse or other such trauma, nursing cups of tea, and listening to this guy strumming this out and singing to us. The girl sang duet on the chorus.
It meant so much at the time. It captured everything about the moment, about where we were. It made me feel lost, and trapped, but also at home, and like everything was going to be alright. The girl committed suicide a month or two after that. I'll probably never see any of those people again. But for the 3 minutes of this song, we were family, we were together, we were staring at the stars and just trying to get through another night.
I love this song.
i sang this song to my friends in a psych ward when i was 13. im 15 now and i guess it gives me really good memories now. so i relate to you.
+perky sturges 13? I don't think it's legal to do it at minors age! I have to be real baby I'm not a fake.
Subtlescribe gay
maybe she`s in the stars now... who knows what she believed in ... scary but at times it is like that ;)
love every word of it
Roching
I really like your songs and it has great lyrics... big ups
Sorry for spamming, but if you could check my cover of this song, I would be very glad! Passenger is just amazing
Internet porn? ehhhh
@RedYeti who r u ?
"Who needs love when you're got silicone and strap-ons?"
I really wish I had looked into Passengers other songs more. Because the only one I've heard was Let Her Go, and I didn't like that one too much.
But a lot of his other songs have very clever lyrics
+Tara O'Caster so glad he was playing Wembley with sheeran :D
Oliver Whitaker sfyifdi do dinner
sjseifjdofvi dl click kddijf me! kddijf Madison
How do you not like Let Her Go. Best song of all time
@Rod Camp debatable. Don't get me wrong I like it but I understand why some might not. It's more of a typical love song than lots of his others. Although the lyrics are alright lots of his others songs are more lyrically complex and I like a lot of them more than let her go 🤷.
increíble como una vida se puede reducir a un par de minutos, notas musicales y a una voz aterciopelada
Passenger nice songs
Tie Your Scarf On On Tight....Its To Be A Cold Night!!!
nice song

WHERE'S BEYONCE?!

Hollanddx179 you'd be dead, you can't get upset anymore..
Eelko Zandberg yes you can

@theswordbird22 Well, you know what? IMA TOASTER SQEED!
@Randy Butternubs wait, what is a sqeed?

I could listen to this album on repeat for hours...not that I don't already
+HeroIsALiar *guys turn off loop* As I was saying...
This song calms me down :) I love it.
GREAT MUSICIAN
Probably the best song on the album
Song is so funny but so true
Too true for too many people ;|
forever a favorite
love it
all of their songs are amazing.
He's a solo artist. He had a band called Passenger in 2007. They broke up in 2009. He kept the name.
hilarously sums up our generation tbh XD
You are the best
wooow de putaa madree
no están tan mal
wisdom? Who needs love when you have silicone and strap ons???
He is just telling the truth
Disturbingly true.
sounds like what are words!
what a great musician wow just wow
who needs love when you've got silicon and strap-ons!
Every Passenger song I fall in love with!
by far the best track of the whole album!
Bab, bab, bab! Big tune, PULL UUUUUP! Be-be-beooooow!!
If you like Passenger, Noah and the Whale, Mumford and Sons, or Ed Sheeran, then you should check Minor Step Records! We've just put up a second song and we'd like for you all to hear it! Just search "Not Worth It- Scott Grim" or "I'm Here- Scott Grim and Jake Moskowitz" Thanks!
@Jay Doxtator Then you should check us out!
Was thinking of this song as I watched World's End last night - actually scary how much this fits!!
'we put three sugars in our tea
sit to watch day time t.v
and laugh at mums who don't know who the father is
and all our girlfriends are long gone
we watch too much internet porn
who needs love when you've got silicone and strap ons'
Love this part of the song basically its on about Jeremy Kyle and silicone and strap ons seriously what more do u want. Love the song and the artist have it on replay hehe :P XP
haha sad song, but "who needs love when you have silicone and strap on's" XD
lol very true haha
This was uploaded on my birthday c:
I guess the song is about depression and suicide. Where you tie your "scarf" on tight when the coldness of depression closes in over you. Such a depressing song with such an upbeat melody.
LOL, I always thought this song was structured like a punk song, with the verse doling out problems with an uplifting chorus, way to put a downer on that!
I believe it is about preparing for what life throws at you. "Tie your scarf on tight, it's to be a cold night" means preparing for what is to come.
Listen to the music at the end sounds like a funeral
Ayyyyyyyyyye
L is for the way Jarod looks at me
Love LOVE
Did I just hear... *Look up lyrics...* Wow............ I'm speechless...
He was great live in London.
SIETE MERAVIGLIOSI.
I love all of the album its cool
*mind blown*
*listens for a few more minutes*
*starts sobbing into a pillowpet*
OMFG PILLOWPETS, IT'S 6 YEARS LATER BUT IDC!
i love!
you are the one that got away lol, he sings like an American in the South, which is funny coz he aint America, nevertheless, I looooove his songs, this one reminds me of Washboard Lisa
Think about the lyrics.
Not about the song.
Read through the lyrics, and think about them, not the happiness of the song.
what the hell?? its not about depression and suicide!
'Our girlfriends are long gone, we watch to much internet porn..' Big business in internet porn... And it is crap and messes up your head which I haven't watched but suspected because some young men are a pain in the arse, literally. Yep, I'm one of the long gone girlfriends. Brilliant song though.
Honestly, how many of you realise this song is about depression and suicide. He's talking about alcoholism, shitty jobs and distanced family. The chorus, he's saying "tie your scarf on tight" I.e a noose.
There need to be more songs like this
Um... how can music be fake?
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. A stupid sweetheart?
I love music relaxed atmosphere and I am not going anywhere
You're such a stupid sweetheart.
Fake and gay
Think passenger just wrote my biography..
love them..
