I was driving along in my big cadillac
Saw a thumb going up, I said Driver go back
Played her a track from my latest LP
Getting bad vibes she hadn’t recognized me

She said she didn’t know me but my name’s been in lights
Giant size neons on the strip every night
The camera man did the best that he can
Still she said I don’t know you I just can’t understand

I’m a star, yeah
I’m a star (Baby bathe in my glow)
I’m a star, anyway

I was trying to be nice but I’m not into that
I usually make it without any chat

She was taking it easy, taking it slow
I said Come on baby, I’m ready to go

I’m a star, yeah
I’m a star (Baby bathe in my glow)
I’m a star, anyway

She said Drop me off here and to my surprise
You wouldn’t believe it, it was Beverly Drive
Some sort of commotion, what’s happening here
We’ve arrived at her premiere, I shouldn’t be here

She’s a star, yeah
She’s a star, I didn’t know it
She’s a star anyway

About Lyrics and Star by The Hollies

The lyrics for Star are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1976 song by The Hollies. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Star have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Star - The Hollies and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Star by The Hollies in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Star" means the words set to the music of Star, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Hollies. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Star and the lyrics to Star are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of The Hollies who came here looking just for the lyrics to Star, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
