Smashing Pumpkins - Starla Lyrics






I'm in here
Please take me home
Starla dear
I'm all alone

When you can't decide what's on your mind
It's clear I'm here, starla dear

To disappear takes so much time
Starla dear, you're on my mind

Soon, soon I'll be leaving
Soon, soon I'll be leaving
I hear all you're saying
I hear all you're failing

I'm in here
Please take me home
Starla dear
I'm all alone

Serve yourself No one else can do for you like you
And no one else fails like me
In my eyes I burn alive
Fly like a bird
No more words just you and I
High in the sky

  1. P.... G....

    What a song. My other favourite SM song alongside The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right)

  2. C.... F....

    E questa sarebbe una b-side! Billy pagherebbe oro per riuscire a scrivere ancora delle b-sides così, invece di quelle schifezze con le quali getta fango sul nome Smashing Pumpkins da almeno 20 anni!

  3. M.... P....

    Love this song
    Reminds me of being human once time apona.

  4. D.... J....

    I like the slow steady buildup this song does! Brilliant and Powerful!

  5. T.... M....

    02/01/2020 the best song of all the times !!!

  6. s.... D....

    I am a die hard pumpkins fan. this is the first time I heard this song... (auditory orgasm)

  7. S.... ....

    You don't have to be on any kind of drug to appreciate this album. I was listening to this in high school (95ish) and I fell in love with everything about this album. No weed. No alcohol. No nicotine. Doing XC as a sport and was no slouch. I've done all those things since then and can't get back to where I was at that time. Age is a factor but smoking was the worst thing I ever did by far. If I have a message to the younger generation it is this, Smoking is very bad for you. Taking pills from the "doctor" (dealer) is even worse. Our society is very corrupt and you have to question EVERYTHING you are told. Do what your heart tells you is right. If you can't listen to your heart never stop trying... Deep down you know what makes sense. Never stop fighting for that.

  8. T.... M....

    pretty fucked up. dont know if ill make it to next year. love this song

    T.... M....

    Dont Give Up!!!

    T.... M....

    hang in there for the good times. Dont give the MF the liberty of checking out when its all bad and down. LEave on a fucking high note if you check out. Find that apex in life and ride that bitch.

  9. S.... P....

    It should be obvious why I love this song❤️

  10. J.... P....

    No my name is Darla

  11. T.... T....

    Time Warp

  12. E.... ....

    It’s funny. You can hear the Chicago sirens in the background while recording this vocal. He probably strummed this gem in one of those old Chicago brownstones.

  13. E.... D....

    You know how good a band is by their B-sides.

  14. T.... S....

    BEST B SIDE EVER!!! Love this band till my last breath!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  15. H.... 1....

    My name is starla, and they spelled my name right :0

  16. t.... ....

    This is the best thing I have ever listened to, it is so special to me, I have been listening to SP ever since I was a baby. Billy's voice is so beautiful, no matter how old I get, I will still rock out to this

  17. S.... Y....

    One of my fav songs...not sure why. 🤔 lol 😘

  18. R.... R....

    I don't know if it's just my ears. But it is very difficult to hear the bass on this mix. The guitar cuts through some of the bass.

  19. S.... D....

    O!M!G! What an awful song! We have a little one coming into our lives soon and were checking out names. We'd pretty much settled on "Starla," so we decided to check online to see if there were a lot of them. That's when I found this horrible song. Ack! I may not know what we're going to name her, but at least I know we can move on from Starla. Sad. It was so beautiful to our ears before now.

  20. f.... d....

    Shoegaze 🎸

  21. S.... T....

    fucking ads, it ain't even your song

    S.... T....

    Firefox + Ublock + NoScript

    S.... T....

    @NPC #79993557 lol I was drinking when I made this comment. Thanks, but I use Brave browser and had almost no youtube ads until the past couple weeks. Now they're on every video.

    S.... T....

    @NPC #79993557 Nevermind. I screwed up my Brave settings. Now it's working fine again. Glad you commented!

    S.... T....

    Hah, I was drinking when I replied. No worries, glad you sorted it @S Trojan

  22. S.... D....

    Even though not technically a "studio" album, Pisces Iscariot was, and still is, my top-fav SM album!!

  23. M.... W....

    8:22 makes me drool........so bad ass!

  24. F.... S....

    I miss this Billy SO MUCH

  25. L.... ....

    Honestly listening to this right now makes me wonder how they are so under rated.

  26. K.... P....

    Billy you are genius!!! I love your music since it was out and you were there for me in every situation and... Aaahhh

  27. V.... W....

    Love it 💜🍃✨ Beauty

  28. M.... A....

    give me chills what the fuck this is their best

  29. N.... B....

    Billy was really an innovative guitarist wasn’t he? A lot of emotion in his playing.

  30. G.... S....

    My name is Starla🤯 Thanks for this song😏😏

  31. S.... D....

    M ONLY Pumpkins CD was the B-sides collection. THIS song may be my favorite.

  32. S.... A....

    LOOOVEEE

  33. S.... A....

    2019 anyone?

  34. J.... P....

    Darla XD

  35. g.... s....

    this is like taking acid the coming up the up and the come down awsome

  36. R.... C....

    This B side album is all A side!

  37. J.... P....

    Starla. By far s.p.. best.dronned out metal to date

  38. a.... ....

    Why aren't songs like this anymore

  39. S.... P....

    I like the build up to around 3 minutes. Very catchy. Been listening to these guys for years but this one really caught my attention. I especially like the distortion, vocals and the hippie drum circle sound at the end. Right up my alley.

  40. W.... ....

    I love when bands take their time to do these ethereal buildups in their songs, this is a prime example.

  41. d.... ....

    best pumpkins song ever..... people will argue, but goddamn this is amazing

    d.... ....

    First time I heard this I listened to it 30 more times the same day. Amazing

  42. W.... ....

    We need to like Starla, when is Drown https://youtu.be/pGDzsds4Ll0

  43. B.... H....

    Why does this have 37 👎s ??????

    B.... H....

    Because those are the people that don't respect a good natural band with natural music

    B.... H....

    They like rap

  44. S.... D....

    its funny when ur names starla and u like this song but i love them

    S.... D....

    Starla Diles that’s beautiful 🌸

  45. G.... H....

    Absolutely Mind Blowing. Proof that Billy Corgan is a genius.

  46. N.... ....

    5:36 best part of the song starts

  47. a.... ....

    I could listen to a 10 minute version of this just consisting of the last 10 seconds of the song.

    a.... ....

    actiontoolbelt Yess

  48. F.... N....

    Smashing Pumpkins totally ripping off Neu!'s Hallogallo with this record. They stole the main riff for Cherub Rock and that other cool bit going on in the tune for Starla. Never knew who Neu! were when I was into the Smashing Pumpkins though. It's quite the revelation

    F.... N....

    FAST N BULBOUS pumpkins have always been open about taking inspiration from other bands. Most bands deny it. Billy has always been more ‘yea I heard it, and it morphed into something else’. They took a few cheap trick riffs too.

  49. D.... P....

    Excellent psych gem, and the very finalle is a huge win

  50. J.... Z....

    Fly with a song....

  51. G.... L....

    eu tenho tesão por essa musica

  52. D.... ....

    old music

    D.... ....

    Respect it music isn't going to get any better then this

    D.... ....

    Everything gets old, in the end. Even you mate.

  53. �.... ....

    i love these dirty guitar sound
    beautiful song

  54. S.... R....

    Don't know this album too much I feel that adore, melancholy, and the machina were the best albums

    S.... R....

    no disrespect but gtfoh

  55. D.... A....

    awesome, reminds me to can´t lose you frome type O

  56. C.... C....

    i imagine billy corgan came up with this riff while hanging upside down from a willow tree, strumming into a guitar for hours on end while looking at his reflection in a mirror, twitching his left eye

    C.... C....

    occasionally stopping to climb down from the tree and put his feet in a creek, try to eat left over sandwhich, jump around in the mud, climb back in tree, start the riff over

    C.... C....

    at some point he slips into a deep psychosis and starts communicating with aliens via his big muff and through an intricate tonal language using his guitar feedback, his eyes roll back, he starts rocking his head side to side, and a spindel of green goo starts to emanate from his nose and stream across his orbital socket, into his hair hanging towards the ground. Hours later, he finishes his extraterrestrial communion, swings out of the tree, lands on his feet, and mutters, "Starla," under his breath for the next 2 hours

  57. R.... M....

    "Pisces Scariot" changed my way of listening music, in the 90's. "Starla", specially...

  58. R.... M....

    In the notes for Pisces Scariot, Billy told that he met a girl in a party, and decided to write a song for her, with her name, "Starla". When he met her again, he told her "hey, I wrote a song for you, with your name, Starla". Then she told him "but my name is not Starla, is Darla!!". That´s the story...

  59. T.... ....

    I love the siren in the background @ 5:22. Billy mentioned in an article that he was recording the vocals in a bathroom and didn't even realize they were in the background.

  60. T.... P....

    It is weird that the name of the song is mine too?

  61. S.... ....

    Proper use of a Big Muff

  62. s.... ....

    This copy skips a little in the first minute

  63. S.... K....

    This song makes me feel like I’m on drugs when I’m completely sober.

    S.... K....

    Me too!

    S.... K....

    Endorphins are amazing, huh?

  64. M.... N....

    This is ART! please learn people this is art!!!

  65. S.... U....

    Im glad he got the name wrong..lol. Now its a song with MY name in it. Love it!!!!💟💟💟💟

  66. r.... ....

    Pisces Iscariot may be a "b side album", but it's one of the their best, I've always loved it.

    r.... ....

    reverend20piece I agree my favorite one also ❤️

    r.... ....

    You know a band is in the absolute prime of their careers when even their album of B-Sides is amazing.

    r.... ....

    B sides from Siamese Dream, which is 10 out of 10 as far as critically acclaimed goes.

    r.... ....

    Their b-sides are just as good if not better than the singles.

  67. C.... T....

    Been a fan for 25 years. Just heard this song today. Mind frickin blown.

  68. O.... L....

    16 morons. Who can't like this????

  69. c.... ....

    hot damn,that build up

  70. K.... 8....

    This song is pure bliss to my ears . The guitar solo blows me away.

  71. S.... R....

    I reckon Jimi Hendrix would of loved this for that epic guitar solo.

    S.... R....

    Nostalgic NZer hell yeah

    S.... R....

    You can hear Hendrix all over early Smashing Pumpkins. Billy grew up on him.

  72. S.... B....

    I've always loved this song. it's perfect.

  73. A.... C....

    it's strange how good music really communicates to people on a base level.

  74. L.... T....

    epic!!!

  75. G.... ....

    Next time, dont give a fuck...

  76. A.... E....

    Billy u are GODLY ur guitar solos are ultimate....

  77. D.... I....

    I know this is not considered an album, but Pisces iscariot is my favorite of all their albums

    D.... I....

    it is an album dumbdumb

  78. M.... B....

    I'm in here
    Please take me home
    Starla dear
    I'm all alone

    When you can't decide what's on your mind
    It's clear I'm here, starla dear

    To disappear takes so much time
    Starla dear, you're on my mind

    Soon, soon I'll be leaving
    Soon, soon I'll be leaving
    I hear all you're saying
    I hear all you're failing

    I'm in here
    Please take me home
    Starla dear
    I'm all alone

    Serve yourself
    No one else can do for you like you
    And no one else fails like me
    In my eyes I burn alive
    Fly like a bird
    No more words just you and I
    High in the sky

  79. J.... G....

    from 4-35 is absolutely beautiful.

  80. A.... M....

    SP has been my cornertone in music for as long as I can remember. Pearl Jam was my first favorite, as a young girl ( and will always be special to me) but the Pumpkins changed my life. Forever.

    A.... M....

    Aliceann Marquiess ...for some reason I decided to read some of the comments under this jewel, and saw that you're also a PJ fan, first and foremost. I love finding people with similar tastes in music. Somehow makes me feel validated.

    A.... M....

    rob campbell probably horny too, huh?

  81. B.... S....

    First met Billy when SP were recording 'Siamese Dream' in Georgia. We
    fronted for them on 4.19.94 in Florida. I mentioned that I liked the
    reverse imaging guitar. He programmed the sound into my Alesis
    Quadraverb GT. It's been on there ever since, unchanged, and used in
    some of my recordings.

    B.... S....

    So did Billy smoke Marijuana? He said he didn't but I sort of believed he lied about that. Not sure why he would though, not like anyone would care.

    B.... S....

    weird.......mj was here

    B.... S....

    You got any story of billy haha please tell me

    B.... S....

    That is fucking epic!

  82. A.... H....

    5:25 Siren

  83. D.... ....

    the solo guitar sound Corgan gets on this track is very prescient of his siamese dream sound - that gated, snarling wahish distorted lead

  84. J.... P....

    wife gets butt fucked while talking to ex on the phone!!! ha,ha,ha

  85. J.... P....

    wife gets butt fucked while talking to ex on the phone!!! ha,ha,ha

  89. P.... T....

    i was listening to this song and putting a peice of gum on the bubble gum wall in seattle

  90. S.... C....

    lost my mind when they played this in Asheville...just a gem

  91. C.... T....

    What are the chords at 10:36? Would appreciate.

    C.... T....

    kill communism with fascism . talk about irony.... get it ? iron neeeeee.

    C.... T....

    Bill Le

    Fascism is an economic policy.


    Answer the question or fuck off.

  92. C.... J....

    Best. B-side. Ever. (Or unreleased track, whatever you want to qualify this as, what I'm saying is that this was totally full LP album worthy).

    C.... J....

    oh yeah it was

    C.... J....

    the whole album is magic

    C.... J....

    @cocteautwinned
    Scrap the past tense & use the present 'is' ;)

  93. N.... N....

    I think is was in 91 or 92 they came around to the Pepsi Coliseum in indy. The Beastie Boys opened for them that night and I remember as they were closing with Soma, they stopped playing, thanked the crowd and I started yelling "Starla, Billy; Starla!' I noticed him look up and grin. he thought about it, but ultimately they didn't play it. Next time they were in town it was for Lollapaloza at Deer Creek. Beasties opened for them again. Another awesome show, and this night they were wrapping up, lights dimmed and everyone thought it was over. Again we started yelling 'Starla, Billy; STARLA'. Now I doubt he heard us that night because the crowd was probably 10x what is was the previous time but I still remember the look on a couple friends faces when they started into it and thinking, "He remembered." They rocked that song, and 30,000 people who walked away with an understanding about this song and their music. Some can write songs and some can make music, but its magic when they both come together in a way that can move you to your soul. The Pumpkins did that many times over, and it....was and is....wonderful.

    N.... N....

    this is beautiful

    N.... N....

    I love this story, but Pisces Iscariot wasn't released until 1994, even if this was written earlier.

    N.... N....

    Love this song, one of my favs! Not sure why 🤔 lol 😘

    N.... N....

    @figliad'italia Starla was released in 91 as a b-side.

  94. I.... L....

    Lights, a big city, a road in auto, the person you like, this with the maximum volume... perfection.

    I.... L....

    exactly how I listened to it!! no shit!

    I.... L....

    exactly how I listened to it!! no shit!
