  • Stella she gave me a state of grace
    I'm armour plated 4 inches thick
    Now all I got was a little taste
    I'm gibbering like a lunatic
    Stella the artist
    Just for now at least you're mine
    All mine
    No need to be modest
    As the daylight creeps
    Take her hand and reach through time
    I felt the sting of my own rebuke
    Come spinning back like a boomerang
    I swam the sea of psychotic puke
    Nursing my love like a guilty pang
    Stella the artist
    Just for now at least you're mine
    All mine
    No need to be modest
    As the daylight creeps
    Take her hand and reach
    You're only saying what they all say
    You're only saying what they all say
    It should be more like the old days
    It should be more like the old days
    Oh man
    Stella the artist
    As the daylight creeps
    Take her hand and reach through time
    Stella the artist
    Just for now at least you're mine
    All mine
    No need to be modest
    As the daylight creeps
    And the floorboard creaks
    And your poor heart leaps
    Take her hand and reach through time Writer/s: DAVID GRAY, KEITH ANDERSON PRIOR, ROBERT MARTIN MALONE

  • Mason from MinnesotaThis might be a shot in the dark, but “Stella Artois” is the name of a popular brand of pilsner beer, originally from Belgium. At least in print, it visually looks similar to the phrase “Stella the Artist”. I don’t know if David Gray is a beer drinker or not, but I could see why someone might refer to beer as a “muse” or consider it an aid to creativity. People become more uninhibited when they drink, after all. And lines like “I swim in a sea of psychotic puke” makes more sense if alcohol is involved, as it could be referring to a hangover. I don’t even drink, for medical reasons, but if I had to guess what this song is about, that would be my theory.
