Starry, starry nights
Paint your palette blue as sky
Look out on a summer bright
With eyes that know the darkness in our past
Now we understand
What you tried to say to us
And how you were neglected for your sanity
And how you set us free
We listened to you, you showed us how
We shan't fail to listen now
Starry, starry nights
Flaming Tevez and the Balotelli blaze
Swirling clouds in red devil haze
Caught the eyes of Vincent's eyes of sky blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of emerald grass
Weathered faces lined with the past
Were soothed beneath your artist's loving hand
Now we understand
What you tried to say to us
And how you were overlooked for your sanity
And how you set us free
We listened to you, you showed us how
We shan't fail to listen now
For we always loved you
And our love was true
And when you gave us hope when it disappeared from sight
On those starry, starry nights
You always scored the goal as heroes do
And I could've told you Vincent
This world was always meant for
One as beautiful as you
Starry, starry nights
Portraits hung in stadium halls
Heroes heads on famous walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
That goddamned Lancashire bloody rose
Lies crushed and broken on the road
Now we know we know
What you tried to say to us
And how you were overlooked for your sanity
And how you set us free.
We listened to you, we are listening still
For sure we always will
Paint your palette blue as sky
Look out on a summer bright
With eyes that know the darkness in our past
Now we understand
What you tried to say to us
And how you were neglected for your sanity
And how you set us free
We listened to you, you showed us how
We shan't fail to listen now
Starry, starry nights
Flaming Tevez and the Balotelli blaze
Swirling clouds in red devil haze
Caught the eyes of Vincent's eyes of sky blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of emerald grass
Weathered faces lined with the past
Were soothed beneath your artist's loving hand
Now we understand
What you tried to say to us
And how you were overlooked for your sanity
And how you set us free
We listened to you, you showed us how
We shan't fail to listen now
For we always loved you
And our love was true
And when you gave us hope when it disappeared from sight
On those starry, starry nights
You always scored the goal as heroes do
And I could've told you Vincent
This world was always meant for

Starry, starry nights

With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

And how you were overlooked for your sanity
And how you set us free.
We listened to you, we are listening still
For sure we always will
