From the 1980 concert in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Broadcasted on Dutch TV. Part 1 of 6 Stargazer (from the album: You take my heart away) & Something (from the album: Something). Lyrics Stargazer: Stargazer, you with your head in the heavens, you'll never get by walkin' that high off the ground. Hey, moon dreamer, I've been around and I've seen it; the higher you get--the harder they let you down. You pay your dues, it seems forever. And if you're clever you may be in for a while, then you're out of style. Hey, Stargazer, probably think I'm crazy, and haven't you heard one single word I've said? Now, I don't want to burst your bubble, but you've got trouble. Don't you know the higher the top the longer the drop. Hey, Stargazer. Now, I don't want to burst your bubble, but you got trouble. Don't you know the higher the top the longer the drop. Hey, Stargazer, You probably think I'm crazy, And you haven't heard, One single word, No,you haven't heard, One single words I've said. I've said. Whoo. Lyrics Something: Something in the way he moves Attracts me like no other lover Something in the way he moves me I don't want to leave him now You know I believe in how Somewhere in his smile he knows That I don't need no other lover Something in his style that shows me Don't want to leave him now You know I believe in how You're asking me will our love grow I don't know, I don't know You stick around now it may show I don't know, I don't know Something in the way he moves And all I have to do is think of him Something in the things he shows me I don't want to leave him now You know I believe in how You're asking me will our love grow I don't know, I don't know You stick around now it may show I don't know, I don't know Something in the way he moves Something in the way he knows Something in the way he smiles Something in the way he moves Something in the way he smiles Something. About the dress Dame Shirley is wearing for this show: Goldfinger - a sensational stage ensemble by Douglas Darnell comprising: a bias cut gown with fitted bodice, the flesh-coloured silk chiffon ground lavishly embroidered with graduated Swarovski clear crystals, gold sequins and gold pearl beads in bands radiating from an apex at the upper bodice, slit centrally to the upper leg, the flowing train lined in gold silk tissue and terminating in a large tassel of clear crystals, rhinestones, gold pearl beads and mirror sequins; and a corresponding voluminous sleeveless coat of silver silk chiffon decorated with bands of silver lurex edged with silver tinsel fringing and embroidered with gold and silver sequins, the coat further embellished at the opening, armholes and collar with gold and silver mirror sequins, imitation pearls and gold beads, lined in gold silk tissue. Weight of gown: approx. 4kg. Although this gown is not the first one worn by Dame Shirley to sing the theme song to the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger, her first international hit, it is the one which she particularly associates with the Bond song. This gown was made in the late 1970s and according to Darnell, was first worn for a concert at the Wembley Conference Centre attended by HRH Prince Charles, 14th November, 1979. The stage coat in this lot however does date from the early 1960s, and was occasionally worn with the first Goldfinger dress. Dame Shirley wore the original dress and this stage coat together during a twelve-day engagement at the Empire Room, New York, October, 1967. Sold at Christies for £18,000
