(Action)
I had a dream on a back lot
I saw my life like a long shot
Of smiling faces in a picture parade
Of all the stills from the films that you made
That we would see in the Essoldo
After drinking coffee on the Giocondo
Elstree, remember me
I had a part in a B movie
I played a
man from history
Elstree,
oh look at me (oh, oh, oh)
Now I
work for the
BBC (oh, oh, oh)
Life is not what it used to be
I took no dives in the fight
scene
I had a stuntman keep my suit clean
There's no technology to make up a song
They stop the orchestra if you get it wrong
Elstree, remember me,
I had a part in a B movie
I played a
man from history
Elstree, oh look at me (oh, oh, oh)
Now I
work for the
BBC (oh, oh, oh)
Life is not what it used to be
Elstree
They made a field into a war zone
I
beat the enemy on my own
All the bullets just went over my head
There's no reality and no one dead, in
Elstree, remember me
I had a part in a B movie
I played a
man from history
Elstree
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
Elstree
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
Elstree
Elstree
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
Elstree
