Smith, Elliott - Shooting Star Lyrics






You'll make the scene like you always do
Going upstream down the avenue
To fuck some trophy boy that you'll win tonight at the bar
So bad, so far
You'll make him sad
Shooting star
When it was me I was momentarily proud
Drunk on dreams now I'm glad I didn't say out loud
You said you'd be for real but I don't believe that you are
So bad, so far
You make me sad
Shooting star
You're distant and cold and a sight to behold
Everybody just sighs
But no one gets on with you very long
'Cos you don't feel bad when you lie
I'm going to sleep now, going back to find square one
Square two, beware, I can deal with the shit you've just done
It won't be soon, to say the least it's gonna be hard
So bad, so far
Your love is sad
Shooting star
Your love is sad
Shooting star

    You'll make the scene like you always do

    Trophy boy that you won tonight at the bar
    So bad, so far. You'll make him sad, shooting star.
    When it was me
    I was momentarily proud
    I'm drunk on dreams now I'm glad
    I didn't say out loud
    You said you'd be for real but
    I don't think that you are
    So bad, so far. You make me sad, shooting star.
    You distant cold, a sight to behold
    Everybody just sighs. Nobody gets on
    With you very long, cause you don't feel bad when you lie
    I'm going to sleep now
    Back to first square one
    Square 2 will be where I can deal with the shit you've just done
    It won't be soon
    To say the least it's gonna be hard
    So bad, so far. Your love is sad, shooting star
    Your love is sad, shooting star

    Please research the flat Earth!

    M.... B....

    if the earth was flat, then the earth in front of the moon wouldn't leave a round shadow on the moon at night, leaving that C shape :)

    M.... B....

    God fixes the shadow on the moon to test your faith. Turtles all the way down, politicians never lie...............

    M.... B....

    @Francis Phelps I don't eat crayons or lick walls but I am having a time with your comment. I guess I am not into this subject enough - which I don't deny, right up front. I am on the big fat fence where the shape of this hot dog stand is concerned. It sure as hell isn't what 'they' bring to us in photos, now is it? I mean, come on.
    With all of our "super tech" - we should be able to watch the earth 24/7 - Verizon should have at least 2 channels dedicated to this, and maybe a 3rd channel just to sell merch...mugs, tee shirts, bumper stickers, mouse pads. u know...

    M.... B....

    @Francis Phelps What "round shadow on the moon at night" are you referring to? I look at the moon most nights of the week, weather permitting. Don't even get me started on how it is that something with the purported consistency of kitty litter box gravel can put off such luminy-luminous-lumi-ahhhh-shishness!
    The lies are big, and apparently infinite.

    M.... B....

    Danielle Marin okay so you know how the earth is a sphere? okay, so as a result of this, the shadow of the earth, from the sun shining on it, which extends itself to the moon, is why the moon has a C shape. the curvature of that shadow on the moon, is because the earth is a sphere.

    I guess nobody ever checked out heatmiser if they're so blown away by this song...
    Very Elliott like- he wasn't just an acoustic gloomy artist he bloomed from the punk culture.

    M.... C....

    Jenna Welborn : sadly yes

    Pete T it's a destination I want to go to so badly still.

    @Dobrila Petrovic I really wish the channel owner would pop back for a visit and delete that comment - I know it's just some troubled whacko, but it's downright blasphemous for an Elliott Smith comment section. The bar is set high here & it's a shame to see the desecration : )

    M.... C....

    @Marissa 87 I agree and think I heard this in an interview as well? I don't think his amazing voice could have handled that deeper, gruffer sound for too long. It almost sounded as though he was straining a bit in some parts of some of the HM songs.
    I would also love to know with certainty if the name HeatMiser came from the 1974 Rankin Bass Christmas special "A Year Without a Santa Clause"? I hate to assume, but I've never heard this name in any other arena, ever, lol...he was a 70s kid and I imagine he would have loved this show like we all did back then.
    Oh - I just looked this show up to make sure I had the year right - which I did NOT (I had 1972 and it's 1974) - WHAT are the odds this Christmas show premiered on CBS on DECEMBER 10, 1974?
    It's December 10, 2019. Goosebumps. Cool : )
    ""Friends call me Heat Miser....whatever I touch.....starts to melt in my clutch....I'm TOO MUCH...."

    M.... C....

    @Danielle Marin Hahah I actually looked up that Christmas Cartoon Special too! I had not remembered the name until you just reminded me now. That song is hilarious, and may I say befitting for Elliott perhaps? And yeah, the interview i think was in either rolling stone back in the 90's where he was talking about it or also the new documentary heaven adores you. I've been such a massive fan of his for so long, but now a days, I listen, and I cry when it's his lower toned beatle-like singing. I actually would say now that I prefer hear him rocking out bc I can tell he was having a badass time :)

  10. m.... ....

    You know the way big, legendary records often get expansive re-releases with b-sides and even alt mixes, etc? I know a lot of the unfinished/semi-finished other tracks from these sessions have been leaked out, but I would LOVE to hear the original David Mcconnell mixes of these songs before the producer Elliott specifically stated he did not want to work on the album got his hands on it after his death. Especially songs like this and "Coast to Coast", which according to David, were actually 100% completed and mixed before being tampered with. Campaign?

    m.... ....

    Did you ever find out if these can be listened to somewhere?

    m.... ....

    mywhychromosome yeah really.

    @mywhychromosome What do you mean by "As for the Jon Brion stuff, some of that has come out...like "True Love"? I realize this comment is from 3...long...years....ago....but I am a "glass half full" kinda gal....so here I go, taking a nice, deep breath, getting comfortable....as I sit....and wait....for your reply....any moment now....WAIT for it....? wait? : )
    I ask because I want to know. Fascinated to hear about this artist from people who are actual fans, not the questionable stuff I've found online that leaves me wondering....I've never come across fans like the ones I come across for Elliott. It restores some of my faith in humanity - and I really mean that, not just saying it and half meaning it.

    m.... ....

    @Danielle Marin Haha, fear not! I know it was 3 years ago, but I come back to these videos alot : ) So, if you are asking what I believe you are: In the early 00's, post-"Figure 8" and pre-McConnell sessions, Elliott began working on a number of songs with Jon Brion in L.A. Unfortunately, this was also at the height (bottom?) of Elliott's crack and heroin use, something Brion staunchly did not approve of. Naturally, they had a falling out, and Elliott ended up decamping to the "Basement on the Hill" to work with McConnell, someone who really didn't care how much drugs Elliott did, as long as they could get some work done. In any case, several songs have come out from the Brion period (I name check "True Love" as it's probably the highlight). I have good copies of more or less all...do you need any? [Btw, I realize this post is long...sorry!]
