Lyrics

(Action)
I had a dream on a back lot
And saw my life like a long shot
I smiled at faces in a picture parade
Of all the stills from the films that you made
That we would see in the Essoldo
Up there drinking coffee at the Giocondo
Elstree, remember me?
I had a part in a B movie
I played a man from history
Elstree, oh look at me
Now I work for the BBC
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 the 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
Now I work for the BBC
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
Elstree, remember me?
I had a part in a B movie
I played a man from history
Elstree
Elstree
Elstree
Elstree
Elstree
