(The second verse, same as the first)
Stella Marie you're my star
In your blue blue tavern you light my lantern
O Stella's large
Pink almond face
It's glowing in space
A place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Place for heroes only
Go
Go
Go
Go Go Go Go
Stella Marie you're my star
I pin you to my chest
Sell you to the rest
I kiss her gown
Send those angels down to woo me now
I think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Think I see her smiling
Go
Go
Go
Go Go
Go
Go
Go
Go Go
Go
Go
Go
Go Go
Thar she goes,
Tara now,
Sean

| Stella Maria has some catholic releavnce (I'm not sure about the full story behind it) but from this song it seems Stella Maria was meant to be a saint of something, hence the gold wall hanging, and something PJ can pin to her chest (cameo). Stella Maria is latin for 'star of the sea' or 'star of mary'. | |

| it's believe it's "pink almond face". and it's quite obviously "i face my heroes only". not sure about the meaning. it appears to be a typical bar ballad. a fun song. probably some religious signifigance in the name as well, as was already noted. | |

| My friend's name is Maria Stella, but she likes to be called Stella. I always say this song is about her, but she hates it. How anyone could hate PJ Harvey, I don't know, but she's weird. Obviously about an icon hanging somewhere, probably in a church or something. | |
