background
This song appeared on the first track listing for Black And White 050505.

Originally recorded as Jeweller To The Stars for the 'lost' album Our Secrets Are The Same, it was finally issued on Silver Box.

People kept asking when the track would be released properly. So, it was re-recorded as a B-side for singles from Black And White 050505, but ended up being so good that it was added to the album.

"Melodically this is proof that where the rest of us have blood, Charlie Burchill has pop hooks running through his veins. Lyrically the idea of Jeweller came from a ridiculous ad in the back pages of a trashy newspaper that I came across in a hotel lobby. Beautiful image nonetheless."" - Jim, Silver Box.




lyrics
It's a long cold distance through the galaxies.
If my eyes were open wide, maybe I could see.
If a burned out future seems all that's in store.
I'd tumble to the ground like a fading meteor.

Jeweller to the stars.
Jeweller to the stars.
Jeweller to the stars.
That's who you are.
That's who you are.

Ever been out walking where the air gets thin?
Or stranded on a planet losing out on oxygen?
Scream out 'Listen' in a silent place?
While feeling like you're falling, calling into space?

Jeweller to the stars.
Jeweller to the stars.
Jeweller to the stars.
That's who you are.
That's who you are.
That's who you are.

I still want you.

It's a long cold distance through the galaxies.
My eyes were open wide, dazzling me.
If a burned out future is what's in store.
I'd tumble to the ground like a fading meteor.

Jeweller to the stars.
Jeweller to the stars.
Jeweller to the stars.
That's who you are.
That's who you are.

I want you.
Jeweller to the stars.
Jeweller to the stars.
