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
