Action
I had a dream on a back lot
I saw my life like a long shot
I smile at faces in a picture parade
Of all the stills from the films that you've made
And we would see me solo
Up there drinking coffee on the G O condo
Elstree, remember me
I had a part in a B movie
I played a man from history
I took no dives in the fight scene
I had a stuntman keep my suit clean
There's no technology could make up the song
They stop the orchestra and you get it wrong
Elstree, remember me
I had a part in a B movie
I played a man from history
Elstree, I 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 beated the enemy on my own
All the bullets just went over my head
There's no reality and no one's dead
Elstree, remember me
I had a part in a B movie
I played a man from history
Elstree
Elstree
Elstree
Elstree
