there was a girl who flew the world from a lonely shore
through southern snow to heathrow to understand the law
there was a boy who loved the noise of the underground
he left the coast and overdosed on that london sound
he said,
"i dont care if youre black or blue,
me and the stars stay up for you
i dont care whos wrong or right
and i dont care for the u.k. tonight so stay, stay "
and then one day she moved away from those garden walls
she left some flowers, he smoked for hours
she understood the law
i dont care if youre black or blue
me and the stars stay up for you
i dont care whos wrong or right
and i dont care for the u.k. tonight
i dont care if youre black or blue
me and the stars stay up for you
i dont care whos wrong or right
and i dont care for the u.k. tonight
so stay, stay, stay, stay.........
