Nightsongs (Stars album)

Nightsongs is the first album by Canadian indie rock band Stars, released in 2001 on Le Grand Magistery. At this time, Stars consisted only of Torquil Campbell and Chris Seligman, although both Amy Millan and Emily Haines of Metric make appearances. There is also a very rare vinyl pressing of the record on the Japanese label Syft, which has since gone out of business. The vinyl pressing also has 2 additional tracks ("Friend's Father's Mother" and "Angeline") not featured on the CD version.

Track listing

All songs by Stars, except "This Charming Man" by Morrissey and Johnny Marr.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    My Radio

    by: Deborah Cox

    My radio
    Goes on and on
    My radio
    It won't be long
    Somebody, somebody's been telling me
    That you've been doing me wrong, now
    What's going on between me and you
    Somebody, somebody keeps telling me
    To check up on my love
    Don't care to hear it
    But what bothers me is
    Bridge:
    (They all really know about us)
    How you keep on doing me wrong
    And then singing that same old song
    (And you don't really know about love)
    Said I heard it all before
    And I don't wanna hear no more
    Chorus:
    Just like my radio
    You keep playing that same old song
    It goes on and on
    Every time you come my way
    My radio
    You keep playing that same old song
    And it won't be long
    Before I'm on my way
    Everybody, everybody keeps telling me
    That you're no good for loving
    And there's no way to believe in you
    Because you keep on showing me
    That what they say is true, now
    And what am I supposed to do when
    Bridge
    Chorus x2
    You're just like my
    Chorus
    There's nothing you can say to me
    When I don't know what to believe
    I'd rather be without your love
    Then listen to it all
