One of the lowest-selling number-one singles, “Star Girl” was out of the UK top 40 just four weeks after topping the chart.
The song was also played regularly by Chris Moyles every Friday on his breakfast show on BBC Radio 1. When his radio show came to an end on 14 September 2012, McFly re-recorde...
[Verse 1]
Hey, I'm looking up for my star girl
I guess I'm stuck in this mad world
With things that I wanna say
But you're a million miles away
And I was afraid when you kissed me
On your intergalactical frisbee
I wonder why, I wonder why
You never asked me to stay
[Chorus]
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
So wouldn't you like to come with me?
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
Go surfin' the sun as it starts to rise
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
Whoa, your gravity's makin' me dizzy
Girl, I gotta tell you, I'm feelin' much better
Make a little love in the moonlight
[Verse 2]
Hey, there's nothing on Earth that can save us
When I fell in love with Uranus
I don't want to give you away
'Cause it makes no sense at all
Houston, we've got a problem
Ground control couldn't stop them
I wonder why, I wonder why
You never asked me to stay, yeah
[Chorus]
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
Wouldn't you like to come with me?
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
Go surfin' the sun as it starts to rise
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
Whoa, your gravity's makin' me dizzy
Girl, I gotta tell you, I'm feelin' much better
Make a little love in the moonlight
[Bridge]
Fly away
Watch the night turn into day
Dance on the Milky Way
Melt me with your eyes
My star girl rules the skies
One! two! one, two, three, four!
[Verse 3]
I'm looking up for my star girl
I guess I'm stuck in this mad, mad world
With things that I wanna say
But you're a million miles away
[Chorus]
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
So wouldn't you like to come with me?
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
Go surfin' the sun as it starts to rise
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
Yeah, wouldn't you like to come with me?
Yeah, girl, I gotta tell you, I'm feelin' much better
I can't get enough of you
Galaxy defenders, stay forever
Never get enough of you
