Another in a series of songs only I listen to....
Release the Stars by Rufus Wainwright
!!Capo on First Fret!!
Why do you keep all your stars in
From your studio on Melrose Avenue?
You have locked all your assets up
In lifelong contracts to you.
Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over?
Oh, can't you see all the good that
Celebrity can do for those in the dark?
Yes of course, I am speaking in
Metaphor for something more in your heart.
Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over?
So why not just release the gates and let them all come out?
Remember that without them there would be no Paramount
(maj7)
No paramount need to ho-o-old on to what isn't yours
Release the stars
The more that you fight, then the more they will
Scrutinize and realize just your size.
And believe me, you are no match
For the public that has seen the whites of your eyes
Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over?
Old Hollywood is over
So why not just release the gates and let them all come out?
Remember that without them there would be no Paramount
(maj7)
No paramount need to ho-o-o-ld on to what isn't yours
Release the stars
(maj7)
Release the stars...
(maj7)
Release your love...
(maj7)
Release the stars....
(maj7)
Release your love,
(maj7)
'Cause Hollywood is over
Why do you keep all your stars in
From your studio on Melrose Avenue?
